      The United states has for years. They said no and we left it at that.

          I’m pro-Israel but they shouldn’t be building settlements on the occupied land.

          It should be if they build settlements, we cut all funding. Period.

              The settlements also against the reason for keeping the land. The land was meant as a buffer to avoid invasions.

              If you move people in. You’ve lost that buffer.

                And of course now you need a new buffer… but it wouldn’t harm anyone to move some people there, they’ll just need a little more buffer.

                  That is my issue with the settlements. I defeats why they are occupying the land. If you want to annex it, just say so. Don’t pretend it’s for protection then populate it.

                    just say so

                    Say what? They’re just protecting themselves. It’s not like they’re just terrorists trying to justify their terrorism, so that the support they receive from the US doesn’t get questioned. It’s a matter of life or death. existing in peace, or vanishing. Now tell the civilians to move into the cramped camps so we can bomb them the terrorists.

        I mean, we sort of set up this fuck-fest despite Britain telling us it was a bad idea. But we were the Victors of the World™ so clearly we knew what we were doing (clears throat). Kind of like our useless embargo of Cuba, we made a decision and we’re sticking with it, no matter how stupid or counterproductive it is, and there’s a very vocal portion of the electorate which supports the move (mostly out of spite, which makes them that much more intractable).

        Is the current war terrible? Sure. Nobody should be killing civilians or taking the hostage. Is the plight of the Palestinians real? Yeah, it is. Israel has been an absolute menace, because they can.

          The embargo on Cuba is stupid at this point. It is more symbolic than anything. I have been to Cuba and it’s exactly what you’d expect a communist country to look like. Everyone is poor, and starving and the police/military are everywhere.

          The situation needs to be dealt with once and for all. Either merge the land into Israel and merge the Palestinians in or give them their own country.

          This current 'buffer" just doesn’t work anymore. The settlers should be booted out and we should refuse aid until they do.

          I am pro-israel but they need to follow the rules like everyone else.
