Its pretty funny how you think anything you said changes the point in the slightest. Man you really love clowning yourself over history and politics. Is it your thing?

The point is that it shows your biases. Dealing with someone that pushes misinformation. No matter what the rationale. Even if its a valiant one. Does distrust and actually weakens your overall message. I could be in agreement 100% with you but playing that sort of stunt makes me want to distrust anything else you say and makes you come across as disengenuous.

My bias is the facts and what you posted agreed with the point I was making. Are you confused?

Well I guess it's okay for a fascist apartheid state to commit genocide while the West cheers on, so long as Palestine was never a country in the first place.

I stand by what I said. Well done on alienating someone that generally holds the same views as you.

Ha, this is how I've felt reading here for quite a while at this point.

Israel ACCEPTED that plan. Palestinians and the Arab world refused it and declared war.

I mean, Muslims had ruled since they kicked out the Crusaders and they had been nice and letting Jews live there safe a majority of the time, then some countries gangs up on you after you have had a few revolutions and suddenly decide to give away some of your ancestors land to the same people you had been nice against, it is not strange that they were against it.

And tell us how that will end Palestinian attacks?

So does that logic go both ways ?

Letting them live as your neighbor is not nice compared to the modern conflict?

I don't actually know how the Jews were treated in pre-zionist Israel, but I'm mighty suspicious of anyone using modern day language to describe the magical friendship of the religions there in the past.

It's not very relevant regardless.

Between the Crusades and 1900, they lived side by side in peace most of the time.

Speaking of the Crusades, the Crusader attacked Jewish people a lot at this time. (depending which crusade)

The Crusaders attacked everybody depending on which crusade, even Christians.

Not doing that.

They were second class citizens.

Was it as bad as getting bombed? Obviously not. But pretending it was fairytale land isn't productive.

Depends on how far you want to go back. Pre Balfour Declaration things were relatively ok.

Even Lindsey Graham was on TV today saying they need to mitigate innocent casualties.

Was that before or after he went on TV saying to kill them all?

palestinians didn't control that land area at any point in history though. it was controlled by the ottomans pre ww1 and by the british post ww1. the ottomans mostly kept both groups in check but there were still pogroms against jewish people throughout the centuries.
