Humans will eat other humans if left unchecked. There is no hard-wired limit, that usually comes from society.

When society is dominated by moron leaders, or the people are psychotic cultists, civilization breaks down. The leadership is too dumb or too lazy to lead to excellence, so they choose the easy way out—decline.

Who do nothing but cover the IP situation.

There are more reporters and NGOs in Israel pwr capita than any other country in the world.

The UN produces more reports about Israel than any other country in the world (by several magnitudes).

The Palestinians have their own refugee organization at the UN, the rest of the world's refugees share one.

Eta right here on du there is an ip group with 147k OPs.

have no use for those Palestinians launching rockets from sensitive places.

Growing up Catholic in a 2/3rds Jewish nieghborhood I thought Israel could do no wrong.
I hate Bibi for helping to foster the atmosphere that got Rabin assassinated!

I've also heard stories, and organizations of Jewish Israelis, Arab Israelis, and Palestinians working
together
over decades!

I've been in Union Sq. on the days when RW Jews are on one corner, and on the Palestinians, and their supporters are across the street - both with signs, and yelling at each other!
It is infuriating!

I believe in Israel's right to exist.
I believe in a 2 State solution.
Ibelieve the Palistinian's right to a contiguous State with
East Jerusalem as it's Capitol.

The worst of both sides could end up getting us all killed!
Enough!
