    I mean, we sort of set up this fuck-fest despite Britain telling us it was a bad idea. But we were the Victors of the World™ so clearly we knew what we were doing (clears throat). Kind of like our useless embargo of Cuba, we made a decision and we're sticking with it, no matter how stupid or counterproductive it is, and there's a very vocal portion of the electorate which supports the move (mostly out of spite, which makes them that much more intractable).

    Is the current war terrible? Sure. Nobody should be killing civilians or taking the hostage. Is the plight of the Palestinians real? Yeah, it is. Israel has been an absolute menace, because they can.

      The embargo on Cuba is stupid at this point. It is more symbolic than anything. I have been to Cuba and it's exactly what you'd expect a communist country to look like. Everyone is poor, and starving and the police/military are everywhere.

      The situation needs to be dealt with once and for all. Either merge the land into Israel and merge the Palestinians in or give them their own country.

      This current 'buffer" just doesn't work anymore. The settlers should be booted out and we should refuse aid until they do.

      I am pro-israel but they need to follow the rules like everyone else.
