Israeli Palestinian Conflict Thread

[Sgt Rosie]

So we've got several pages of back and forth on this discussion ... what do you think the real resolution should be? How do you see it playing out?

So you're trying to say it's okay to purposefully prevent resolution because it's probable there won't be any in the first place?

What? He just asked you to state your idea clearly with zero judgement attached and you're drawing that conclusion? So are you typically paranoid, or is it just a Monday morning thing? Holyfuckenballz!

Considering one of my latest posts was about a decent solution I'd like, that can't possibly be what Rosie is asking for. Are you calling Rosie dumb?

But don't forget to take tone into account:

That was two posts prior. Yeah, Rosie's totally not interested in making a dig at me, huh? I don't know where in the world I got that crazy idea. Accusations of deep-seated psychological issues are innocent.

Well, I suppose I was making a dig at you and the way you are responding to everyone.

However, I wasn't necessarily making a dig at your ideas. I just wanted to ask you to lay them out without all the muddle of response and counter-response.

Alright.

I'm not really one for summaries, though. I mean, I think the creation of Israel was wrong, and the wrong should be righted. At the very least, the US should stop supporting Israel (and I'm not talking about just our leaders).

Are you asking the individuals that make up the US to personally stop supporting Israel? Would that be financially, idealistically, spiritually, or all of the above?

All of the above.

I don't see the point of this question.

We live in a democracy. So if I want policy to change, I want people's opinions to change.
