    and, why does Hamas fire rockets into Israel ??

    But hey, neither of you understand why Guatemalans and Hondurans would walk thousands of miles in the dessert to come here -- so, bone head me in assuming we could have an intelligent discussion on world humanitarians issues.

    Just a hunch, Israel un-occupies the West Bank or some such gesture talks of peace might spring up.
    It would halt those pesky rockets the occupied fire at the occupiers

    Moving the capital was a dick move

    As far as Palestinians calling for the end of Israel --- I would liken it to Sioux or Apache harboring the same feelings toward our government

    Are you saying that Israel deserves to have rockets fired at it?

    Who would expect Palestine to take the occupation lying down?

    Which is what makes the whole situation absurd.

    to answer your question, yes it might be another reason Hamas fires rockets into Israel
    Oh, the great and benevolent UN that has more of a himan rights issue with Israel as opposed to thenseveral muslim nations that executes gays.

    Main article: Water supply and sanitation in the Palestinian territories

    Amnesty International has criticized the way that the Israeli state is dealing with the regional water resources:

    Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) do not have access to adequate, safe water supplies...Discriminatory Israeli policies in the OPT are the root cause of the striking disparity in access to water between Palestinians and Israelis...The inequality is even more pronounced between Palestinian communities and unlawful Israeli settlements, established in the OPT in violation of international law. Swimming pools, well-watered lawns and large irrigated farms in Israeli settlements in the OPT stand in stark contrast next to Palestinian villages whose inhabitants struggle even to meet their essential domestic water needs. In parts of the West Bank, Israeli settlers use up to 20 times more water per capita than neighbouring Palestinian communities, who survive on barely 20 litres of water per capita a day– the minimum amount recommended by the WHO for emergency situations response.[144]
    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    of course you understand water rights issues that Israel unilaterally enacted effecting Palestinians since the late 60's.
    Where water being the most dominant commodity of dessert life .

    But yeah, I was being nice asking about Tel Aviv
    Amnesty Internatjonal would not have a bias against Israel now would they?

    You keep bring up these arguments. How about doing some research about why Israel acts a certain way against these people. But of course you couldnt attempt to be fair. You HAVE to tow the company line of these antisemetic congresswomen.

    Sure...because there is such a long history of the palestinians seeking peace.

    I dont hate or love anyone but do understand it is far more complicated on so many levels than the black and white approach y'all give.

    What is the origin of the conflict

    Bill Maher is one of my guilty pleasures. He hates a lot of what I believe but I still enjoy his show.

    I've noticed over the last 6-12 months that he is realizing how bad the progressive left is for the country. Its great to see.

    I'll give it to Maher that he's not a mouthpiece for a party. He's also a staunch advocate of free speech which I strongly agree with. I despise cancel culture in the US.

    What two countries? Maybe you should ask the 4 million+ people living under occupation, without freedom of movement and living within an authority under which they have no rights?

    You’re the individual freedom guy, right?

    What you’re presenting is a false choice.

    With the strong caveat that I’m aware that you don’t actually care about democracy, I’m interested to note that you think that keeping a population that amounts to roughly half that of your nation under restrictive administrative rule can somehow be squinted at and adjudged “democracy.” I guess apartheid South Africa was democracy, too.
