I have been more than outspoken on political issues on this board, so the advent of a fresh flashpoint in the middle east should spur me into polemical action....
Fuck, i have no solutions. None of us do.
Question Time last week had a debate on this last week where both ends of the arguement (I dont think theyre "sides") were aired, and it feels hopeless. Israel fucked it up of course, but Hamas is an explicitly antisemetic organisation. All these claims ive heard that Israel is secular are completely laughable too.
This is a conflict i can see resulting in a "dirty" bomb. But that will only happen if the two sides were to resolve and live in peace, paradoxically. The extremists thrive on the ethnic identities of civilians being indistinguishable so they can relate less to those they consider collaborators or infidels.
