    Let’s start by recognizing the fact that everyone’s really shown an amazing amount of passion and energy.

      Simply sit back and wait, as thousands of years of continuous sectarian warfare tend to have a way of simmering down by themselves.

        I know it’s satire but I still don’t like how The Onion how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is any older than a century and change.

                I mean yes. That’s 700+ years right there. And before them the other caliphates. Sectarian violence wasn’t a common occurence in the Middle East before European colonization, which among other things drew nee borders in a way that intentionally encourages sectarian and ethnic violence.

                  The Ottomam Empire and Caliphates were aggressive brutal empires, that even conquered parts of Europe. That’s basic historic knowledge.

                  Ottoman oppression of Arabs was the whole reason the British Empire could ally with them against the Ottomans. The Ottoman Empire didn’t fail because of outside empires, but the rot inside it.

                  The wars in the Balkans in the 1990s can be traced back directly to Ottoman conquest.

                  Look up slavery in the Ottoman Empire and caliphates as well. These were not some humanitarians.

    Unflinching American support for Israel hasn’t gone over well with neighboring countries, so the U.S. should try acting somewhat hesitant before handing the Israeli government billions of dollars.

    This is literally the dems current plan lmao gotta be about that time of the week for another article about Biden calling netenyaho “a real sunovabitch” or whatever

    Actually I feel like there’s been less of those articles, is Biden doing literally anything day to day at this point? They sure as shit aren’t gonna let him campaign.
