Israel and Palestinians exchange rockets

Ah, yet again the "holiest" place on Earth is the deadliest.
Quote:Israel's armed forces and Palestinian militants exchanged rocket fire on Tuesday as days of fighting centered around one of the holiest sites in the world for Muslims, Jews and Christians snowballed into another deadly flare-up in a decades-long conflict. The bloodshed was likely to get worse, as both sides threatened to escalate their attacks.

You would think that if God really exists that he would show himself now in his favorite place on Earth to tell these assholes that they are an embarrassment, but nah. He is probably a bully who condones it or doesn't exist.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

So the fighting continues, but how is this possible since Jared Kushner solved this?

It should be obvious that a proposal whose terms were as one-sided as Trump’s peace plan wasn’t going to produce any lasting peace.

I can remember an episode of Hey Arnold where the kids cleaned up a vacant lot so they could turn it into a baseball field. It works out fine, but then the adults find out about it and decide they want it for themselves. They try to play ball anyway, and the adults get in the way. So they leave, and even the adults can’t agree on what they want to do with it. They have enough of the bullshit and they empty a dumpster on the vacant lot, telling them if they want it so bad, they can have it the same way they found it: a dump.
There are points where I seriously think the area should be evacuated, with everyone, Arab, Israeli, or maybe even Bedouin if they count as a distinct group from the Arabs moved away from the nations they fought so much for, and NATO can just nuke the site from orbit and make it the biggest display of “this is why we can’t have nice things” in human history. Of course, moral questions aside, there’s no way in Hell this can happen.

War is a holy time. Their holy scriptures are preparing them their whole life for this.
Jews celebrate burning of Al-Aqsa
Meanwhile, Palestinians are chanting “bomb bomb Tel Aviv” from Judaism’s holiest site and the site of Al Aqsa mosque.

Being 54 the fact that this pair does what they do is fucking annoying, I wish they would not, not sure either cares which side could plunge the world into WW3. But it fucking pisses me off. Fuck BIBI, FUCK HAMASS, FUCK RELIGIOUS TRIBALISM.

You know it’s a difficult problem when Jared Kushner, juggernaut of competence that he is, couldn’t fix it.
