  1. More the humiliation of getting kicked off their land and the resulting disasters being baked into what it means to be a Palestinian. Not that unlike how tragedy is baked into the Jewish identity. First Palestinian I ever met introduced herself by saying she was from Palestine and if I knew where that was.
  2. They left their land in 1948 and generations later are still in those same refugee camps, it's a core part of their identity. I know a Palestinian (Israeli Arab) who's not far from the Lebanon border and asked if they were going to evacuate: "We are not leaving our land".
  3. Disgusting people on Twitter are arguing "technically we don't know if that girl with bloody pants was actually raped or not".
  4. If you were holed in a tunnel under Gaza would you listen to assholes living it up in Qatar? This could also be the political wing worried Mossad might Black September them and are distancing themselves.
  5. Hamas just announced it's going to start executing hostages if Palestinians are attacked without warning and post the video online.
  6. So what's the most likely long term peace solution? Seems like the West Bank is on auto pilot to be outright annexed in a few decades, but what about Gaza?
  7. Which was the fundamental question that created mass Jewish migration to the Mandate in the first place, where the f were the Jews supposed to go? Yeah, they colonized an area they have a mythological connections with as a means of securing themselves against a European history of slaughter at the expense of the local population. Preventing that colonization required Europe to not commit the Holocaust and convince the Jews that the centuries of Jewish slaughter was over. We keep living in this fantasy that a 2 State Solution is possible, come up with a way to unfuck this map, then come up with a way to convince Israel to implement that plan against their belief it'll create basically mega Gaza.
  8. How to cost effectively deal with them is going to be a major adjustment for modern militaries. The IDF just finished upgrading their active Armored Brigades with the Active Protective System after Hezbollah anti tank missiles mauled IDF armor in 2006.
  9. McHenry probably got the idea from the NC Speaker who kicked a dem out of his office for petty reasons.
  10. He's from NC, NC Speaker did the same thing recently. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article279612394.html
