Been reading more and more about the Gaza Strip and the history of the region since Israel was created. Some very interesting and pretty disheartening events have gone on there.

How does everyone here feel about it? I'd love to learn more and get everyone's opinions.

What kind of timeline are you thinking? (Not meant to sound like I'm on the attack if it comes across that way)

As for a timeline, who knows?

Seems like it would take a big shift in the attitudes of most of the major countries and powers in the world. Seems everyone with any sway is behind Israel and only Israel.

Why do you say that? (I'm just really interested)

I don't see it anywhere, and I searched 'Gaza', 'Israel', 'Palestine'...nothin'.

Sorry.

I think Anthony found it anyway, but now we have 3 Gaza threads on the front page,

Have you even SEEN how good the Palestinians have it?! Might as well be shacking up with Donald Trump, spoiled little rabble-rousing bastards!

I've always considered 9/11 less a terrorist attack and more pilot error.

There was orange juice and gasoline on that ship. Haven't you seen Fight Club? Tyler Durden said that could make napalm. NAPALM! IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS!!!

Well that's...well, I don't really know of a word to describe that. Let's stick with 'disgusting' for now.

I love how our military gets a free pass because they're not 'terrorists'.
