128. Generational hatred is hard to overcome.
Tue May 7, 2024, 04:25 PM
May 2024

Perhaps, over time, more of the people in those countries will lose the hate over Israel. And, I'm not quite sure how to answer this:

I think Palestinians have a particular grievance...That the Arab nations don't have, against Israel. Tell me what that would be.

You "think" of a grievance, but you want me to say what it is? Is this some kind of test, or am I to read your mind? A few grievances come to mind, going both ways, so I'm not really sure what you want here. If I "guess" wrong, the discussion's over?

Settlements? Palestinian, but West Bank. West Bank didn't attack Israel in a surprise attack. They would have had a more reasonable argument than Gaza does.

Wall? Kinda Gaza's fault, actually, because militants kept crossing the border and attacking Israeli targets. One of those walls is on the border of Egypt, so I personally don't consider that a "be all, end all" argument against Israel. (Egypt didn't like being attacked, either.)

Blocking supplies/aid? Iran sends military hardware into Gaza. I doubt they're sending it in the original packing crate, so Israel has to check EVERYTHING.

Well, let me know how I did, or not. If you don't respond, I guess I failed...
