I don’t have a dog in this fight, but the truth is usually somewhere towards the middle. Everybody shares some fault. I’m not dragging this out further.

So Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire and had no actual border. The British determined the fate of the area not the people of Israel. The Palestinians then sided with the Nazis in WWII and lost. Then sided with the Arabs and lost again. Seems they should be angry at the British, Ottomans (Turks), Egyptians and the Germans....

Maybe we should move the thread to "funny stuff".

Meanwhile you say nothing of the idiots like AOC, Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar, Nancy Pelosi, China Spy F-er Eric Swallwell, anyone in the anti-Semitic Squad like Radhida Tliab, Ayanna Pressley and Cori Bush plus Bernie Sanders who’s rhetoric motivated a gunman to go to a softball field and try to assasinate numerous Republican lawmakers like Steve Scalise.
There were more people injured in that gun attack than any number at the Jan 6 Capitol but that didn’t stay in the news and we know why.
Your one sided “jokes” don’t fly here.

Yup. I also don’t think that Palestinians were subjected to 6 million of them being exterminated.
The Palestinians have probably had bad luck, but A LOT of bad leadership and they have made hugely bad choices.
Peoples who make bad choices lose. History shows us that.

People had land and homes, and it was taken from them.

Look, as I’ve said, I’m not taking sides, just pointing out that if you think this is simple, you are dead wrong. Speaking of wrong, there is a lot of that to go around. There is a reason this is not easily resolved.

Makes sense since I’m sure you supported Cliven Bundy’s right to take his land back from the Feds...

I don’t make jokes. And again you avoid addressing my answer. Because you got nuthin. Right?
Typical leftist avoidance to never get to a counter point

Keep bringing the fake news AZ!

Except they did, they even went as far as to correct the assertion that any "malicious" was implied. Even our sheriff has gone on air correcting the record. This is not going well for Cyber Ninjas and the Az GQP.
