Egypt occupies Gaza, Jordan occupies the West Bank. That is the only solution.

Anyone with a direct connection to the conflict I'm generally willing to give a pass to given how incredibly emotional the conflict is, even if it is objectively a stupid take. The morons who don't get a pass are those without a direct connection who have bad takes. It's like Americans faking enthusiasm and understanding of soccer.

The flip side of all those quotes being the White House has no faith in State's ability act in a manor other than a PR agency (State's job in Ukraine was to rally international support for Ukraine, which already existed). Do they have the ability to manage a situation with no good options that no one wants to do (like assembly a multi national peacekeeping force)?

Nope, a staffer got the idea from the West Wing.

If you live somewhere where none of your neighbors want to open their border to you, is that a prison? I agree it's effectively a prison but besides an airport and sea ports being allowed, how do you unprison Gaza?

Terrible idea, but at some point there needs to be a conversation that 2.3 million people living in a 25x3 mile area surrounded by neighbors who don't want anything to do with you, isn't viable.

Can someone explain the "posters of kidnapped people aren't real so we're going to tear them down" thing?

Satellites aren't real because the earth is flat hence imaginary. (I'm not awake yet)

That's basically what the Sub did in High School English when two girls got into a fight, he just watched as the guys attempted to pull them apart.

Satellite imagery of the IDF advance, Gaza City looks a nightmare.

Somebody watched a Perun video

I doubt an Israeli Labour Government would be handling things much differently.

9/11 ruined America's lala 90s mindset. This evoked memories of the Holocausts, those are very different things.

Everyone should have to take a quiz on the Israeli Palestinian conflict before posting about it.

This a really good interview with the Commander of the mixed gender Caracal Battalion on the day of the attack pushing Hamas out of her outpost on the border.

The problem with the two state solution is that Gaza was basically the test case and failed. So the discussion needs to be how do you make a Palestinian State viable? The Palestinian Authority might outright collapse once Abbas dies. The Palestinian Authority, teetering on collapse, is tested by Israeli raid in Jenin - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM Israel's military operation in Jenin exposed the weakness of the Palestinian Authority, which many Palestinians view as increasingly irrelevant and out of touch.

Possible second suspect involved, BOLO issued for a pickup truck.

Sounds like a perimeter is being set around a vehicle.

How do you suggest undoing those 75 years of bad blood?

Israel has pretty good reason to believe the West Bank would turn into a Super Gaza, which would lead to another open air prison once Israel and Jordan close their borders, which is exactly what happened in Gaza.

75 of years of things in Europe for Jews being relatively okay, doesn't erase 1,000 years of slaughter in a group's collective conciseness. I wouldn't say they embraced it.

Just watch it, was excellent. Go glad I'm out of that county.

Been there done that in Iraq and Afghanistan. You'd need 60k troops to baby sit just Gaza for at least a decade plus a ton of development money, in a situation where a bored Corporal can upend the entire effort by shooting a kid. Japan and Germany worked because they were two countries beat down by fire bombing, 2 nukes, and a realization that the Red Army occupying the place instead would be worse.
