Allah willing!

Get this over with. Beruit used to be a destination for Europeans.

Now they go to Croatia.

Imagine all those tourist dollars the Lebanon , Egypt, Gaza, could have had if it were for Mohammed Amin al-Husseini and the Korean inspired learned hatred of Jews.

Ever wonder why there are Druze and The Sword Battalion in the Israeli military?

Croatia has far superior islands and beaches to Beruit. It just needed stability and a little touch of classic liberalism to flourish.

You mean when the French ran it?

Not true though, images from the 1950-60s Beruit are a incredible..

What became of Beirut's 1960s jet-set playgrounds

Creation of Israel didn't destroy that.

Palestinians did.

Lebanon s collapse was purely due to Islamic infighting.

Not till 1975 did it become a ---- hole.

Thanks Palestinians!

Yes.

Something happened damned near 50 years ago.

That's why 9 year olds need to be exterminated by the extermination state.

Short version. No deep details.

Something really happened about 100 years ago even before Israel was a thing. Jews started moving back to the region. Palestinians at first were okay with it but as Jews bought up property they were not. When Israel was planned by the West to be a thing they got doubly mad. When it became a thing a majority of them left en mass and made a mess everywhere around them and their neighbors went to war - repeatedly attacking Israel. The majority still refuse to acknowledge Israel. Their hatred is returned by a large number of Israelis. And here we are. Leaving the question for some as: is genocide of one side or the other the only fix?

Galaxi: is genocide of one side or the other the only fix?

Yes. So long as one side doesn't accept the others existence how could it not be.

When Joe loses the election we can all look back at his continued support of Israeli brutality as one of the reasons why. Even as we all know that Trump will be even more supportive of Bibi, Joe is losing more voters on this issue every single day.

It is not possible to defeat Hamas by simply flattening Gaza. And, at this point Israel is simply creating more angry extremists.

Biden's most recent denunciation of Israeli actions is too little and FAR too late for many. Even a significant number of American Jews (especially the younger ones) think this has gone too far.

I can't wait for the liberals to blame "the left" when we end up with Trunk again.

Gonna be a blast.

The right will blame "the left", too.

Why does no one even attempt to bridge this terrible cultural divide?

The loudest voices are always angry and full of the desire to steal and kill.

This isn't self defense at this point.

It's pure Revenge Massacre. Combined with a sick desire to annex and steal everything possible while claiming to be victims.

This will catastrophically fail. Israel is commiting suicide. They don't even seem to realize that yet.

But they Will.

WWTD?

(What would Trumpy do?)

I bet he would have already sold them jets with no hesitation. And he would have even thrown in a little reach around for old Nutty Yahoo.
