Israel vs Palestine - why so rude!!

@Bumbles I can see what is bizarre and a debate will not change that. 30x collateral is ok and children dead don’t matter for adult conversations !!

@WandererTony It seems the only war where children are killed is in Gaza? The double standard is astounding.

@Bumbles so many have hardly ever been killed in a one sided bombing like this. It’s “never before”
As for your “never again”, I can assure you a significant part of the orphans you have created in these 200 days will seek revenge.
We will meet in these pages in the years to come and count the price of Netanyahu’s ambition and greed for power 😊🙏

@WildWings You should really research what you're talking about before you make a complete аss of yourself.

@WildWings I wouldn't exactly call it pedantic. Both Israel and Palestine have pretty ancient claims to the place, but Israel has an older one.
[quote]“Israel” first appears near the end of the 13th century BC within the Egyptian Merneptah Stele, referring apparently to a people (rather than a place) inhabiting what was then “Canaan.” A few centuries later in that region, we find two sister kingdoms: Israel and Judah (the origin of the term “Jew”). According to the Bible, there had first been a monarchy comprising both, apparently also called “Israel.”

In about 722 BC, the kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian empire, centred in what’s now Iraq. As an ancient geographic term, “Israel” was no more.

Judah alone
Less than a century and half later, Judah was overthrown. Its capital Jerusalem was sacked, the Jewish Temple destroyed and many of Judah’s inhabitants were exiled to Babylonia.

Following the exile’s end a little under 50 years later, the territory of the former kingdom of Judah served as the heart of Judaism for almost seven centuries (although the rebuilt Temple was again destroyed in AD 70, by the Romans).

‘Palestine’
In AD 135, following a failed Jewish revolt, Roman Emperor Hadrian expelled the Jews from Jerusalem and decreed that the city and surrounding territory be part of a larger entity called “Syria-Palestina.” “Palestina” took its name from the coastal territory of the ancient Philistines, enemies of the Israelites (ancestors of the Jews).[/quote]

You do make a good point that Israel is currently run by terrible people.

@GrinNude the 4th line is the one that is under debate.

@sladejr says who 😄😄
