There's 300k people that live in the UP

Yeah, except the agreed upon exchange of area c never happened and Israel continues nip at the heels of the Palestinians who live there by restricting their water, not allowing development, blocking trash removal, transplanting Israeli citizens into ever-expanding developments, building walls inside the 1967 border, and on and on. But they’re a democracy (/s), so the US allows it.

Or...we do and another republican just rolls it back again.

Uh, maybe in certain Asian cultures where people are encouraged to keep their opinions under lock and key, but it’s not a truism that travels everywhere…

Israel doesn’t randomly seize or bulldoze Palestinian homes to build new settlements. It razes homes that are built illegally (ie, without a permit) in “Area C,” the mutually agreed to Israeli controlled section of the West Bank, and homes of terrorists. Israel only establishes new settlements in Area C, the borders of which were already agreed to in Oslo 30 years ago. But I agree Israel should have just clearly defined its borders in 1967 after the Palestinians refused to negotiate by annexing what it needed for its security and withdrawing from the remainder.

The fucked up part about all of this is that there will likely be no tangible and material policy change as a result of this accident.

The government won't fix this going forward, and this shit will continue to happen.

I hope that the residents don't pay attention to Tucker Carlson who wants to politicize the derailment to criticize Biden. He actually said something like, East Palestine is mostly white and so Biden will ignore or forget them. That is so sad.

So... Yet another war crime. Add it to the pile.

Fuck thats straight indoctrination! My heart goes out to any and all families affected by this.

Ah yes, cause naturally both sides refusing to ever talk again and just keep fighting till onside is completely wiped out is a much better solution right?

Well that's true, but hasn't Israel already offered them multiple treaties that would give them ownerships of large sections (as in nearly 90%) of the disputed land, which Hamas has just rejected out of hand?

Trouble is I don't think their is going to be a viable peace until the people at the top of both nations no longer profit out of the war.

Maybe not. But shockingly if you give up trying, we won't know if any in the future might have done.

No, we continue to support Ukraine to repel Russia. We can and should oppose them, but that doesn’t mean we should directly make war against Russia. That very likely would lead to a nuclear exchange.

The religion is further radicalizing the folks who are doing the violence, compounding the issue with a more aggressive and virulent ideology. It allows them to dehumanize MUCH easier than just some land dispute.

Cool, because dozens of similar pledges have helped tremendously in the past.

Oh wait...
