(9,986 posts)Ya, I don't blame Palestinians for being upset just like I don't blame Israel for being upset. I do blame Hamas for all the shit they have done and I do blame Israel for all the shit they have done. I am sure Israel feels like Hamas started this war just like I am sure Palestinians blame Israel for starting this war. Really, how long can you keep people imprisoned before they decide to fight for their freedom? How long can you stand being attacked on a daily basis before you attack back? I'm talking about Israel there. The whole thing is a multi-generational region wide shit sandwich served on a huge platter because most western countries didn't want to give any of their land up for a Jewish homeland so they imposed it on a bunch of poor brown people because who really gave a fuck about any of them? Oh, and religion. The one thing to surely bring peace. I don't blame the Palestinians or the Israelis for being upset. I do blame both of them when they act like shit and I don't try to place the blame on people that have nothing to do with what is currently going on. Egypt and Jordan decided they had enough of that shit sandwich a while ago. One that was imposed upon them by the way. And when they decided they didn't like the way that wonderful shit sandwich actually tasted they left the table. So don't blame them for not wanting to go right back to that table and start eating that shit sandwich again. Lets just decide that they should for the sake of argument. Jordan and Egypt let in 2 million Palestinian refugees. What happens when some of them want to keep fighting and all of sudden you have attacks from Jordan and Egypt into Israel from the Palestinians? I know getting arms in either of those countries would be way hard but just for the argument lets suppose they do. How long before it becomes a huge problem for all three countries? I know that Israel is not into expansion but just suppose they do to the borders of both countries and you have another Hamas attack from Egypt or Jordan or both? Does that sound like something that Jordan and Egypt should do? Should they risk the peace they have with Israel to clean up that mess? One that was foisted on them by the way? If you are going to blame anyone blame the ones that decided that would be a great place to give everyone there a big ol shit sandwich and then blame the ones that keep going back to that table for more servings. 700,000 settlers in illegal settlements on Palestinian land is asking for more servings. Hamas doing what they did and then Israel killing over 30,000 civilians in response is asking for more servings. Not being a party to this is not asking for more of that shit sandwich. You are putting blame on the wrong people. Blame the people who keep eating from that table.
