I'm not downplaying anything.  Just pointing out that it's been going for so long that no one wants to give up the fight.

I get that you are a stickler for facts.

Actually, it stopped for so so long, until Britain decided to unleash proxy warfare against the Ottoman empire, so the supported extreme Jewish gangs through the Zionist movement; and Israel came into life after WW1.

Maybe I should have added that, in contrast to the famous Hatfield-McCoy feud lasting for 28 years, the Arab-Israeli feud has been going on for a minimum of 73. That kinda gives you some perspective of how intractable this whole thing is.

The Ireland-England feud lasted for 800 years.

WE’RE NUMBER ONE!! WE’RE NUMBER ONE!!

And is there much fighting between the two at this point? Outside of football matches, I mean?

Nope. Got it settled in 1922. Now the Irish focus on killing each other.

If they keep trying to make Israel a far-right ethno-religious state they won't have a homeland for too much longer.

It’s really weird to me how so many, if not damn near all, Muslim countries are far right autocratic theocracies and some of the most bigoted homophobic places on earth yet - if any of them faced an attack from an organization with with an equivalent doctrine as Hamas has for Israel —- I don’t understand how Hamas could garner more sympathy than Israel. It doesn’t make sense.

Why is the left and even the center so anti semitic? I know people will say anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism but it’s basically holding the position that Judaism shouldn’t have a homeland.

What if in return I said fine, let’s eliminate every Islamic theocracy while we’re at it then?

If you said that, I’d applaud you.

Trivializing the Arab-Israeli conflict as something like a Hatfield McCoy feud bespeaks of no serious understanding in the depth of the issues involved, nor the reasons for the differing perception on each side, nor any real interest in helping in even the most minor way to resolve the problem in a feasible, much less equitable way.

Then it’s a jolly good thing that no one here trivialized it as such.

Yup and none of that takes away from Isreal's flaunting of international law 


Quote:if any of them faced an attack from an organization with an equivalent doctrine as Hamas has for Israel
They already do from each other 


Quote:I don’t understand how Hamas could garner more sympathy than Israel. It doesn’t make sense.
Sympathy from who?


Quote:Why is the left and even the center so anti semitic? 
It isn't 


Quote:I know people will say anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism
It isn't. Antisemitism is a hatred of Jews. Anti Zionism is being against Jewish Ethnonationalism. Because  Ethnonationalism of any kind is bullshit.

Quote: but it’s basically holding the position that Judaism shouldn’t have a homeland.
They shouldn't nobody should. Ethnonationalism of any kind is bullshit.



Quote:What if in return I said fine, let’s eliminate every Islamic theocracy while we’re at it then?
A huge difference between opposing ethnonationalism and eliminating the governing body of nations.
