Yes.

NYT posted an article last week about a comprehensive peace plan involving the Saudis recognizing Israel, an Arab peacekeeping force in Gaza and western nations funding the restoration and improvement of Gaza. If that happens it would give the Palestinians a choice between vengeance and an...

Hopefully we’re both still alive in 30 years and I can say “I told you so” as we watch Palestine and Israel compete in the Olympics.

No analogy is ever completely 1:1 perfect. As the saying goes, history doesn’t repeat itself but it does often rhyme.

No, I don’t think the Israelis will. I think the Saudis, and the oil barons in Dubai, and the Americans, and the Germans, and a lot of other people will, though. And I think the Israelis will go along with it, even reluctantly, because they know that is their best option moving forward.

Ok. Good talk, and goodbye!

Or perhaps because they realized that they had fallen victim to a regime that pushed fanaticism at their own expense, and they saw the light of prosperity and inclusion in the western economic system. A common enemy (the USSR) didn’t hurt. But I have to believe that after all of this, the...

It seems as if you do care, since you couldn’t help yourself but to make that allegation. Doubling down rather than backtracking is also interesting. Projection, maybe? Perhaps @Rock , @nycfan , and @SnoopRob could help us figure out who is who. After all, you seem to be very curious and I don’t...

Feel free to put me back on it. I’m down for hearing and debating other points of view, but if that is too exhausting for you then it won’t offend me at all.

Did firebombing Dresden and Tokyo radicalize future generations of Germans and Japanese? Not really. In fact, we became quite friendly with those people shortly afterwards.

Unless there is conclusive video proof of something horrible, then new allegations won’t matter. Trump was recorded asking officials in Georgia to find him 10,000 votes and his cult still didn’t care. There would have to be video of him doing something exceptionally unpalatable to them like...

Nope, different person entirely. If you are going to make bad faith allegations, you better be willing to back them up.

Nope, that is a different poster.

I’d argue the opposite. Sinwar is dead. Nasrallah is dead. Hezbollah is in shambles. Hamas is unable to conduct another 10/7 scale attack. Iran is too timid to do anything other than token and useless rocket attacks. Israel’s actions have been bloody for their enemies but they have worked.

Islam is a religion, not a race. Ridding the world of Islamist terror would allow the 99.9% of other Muslims who don't subscribe to such extremism to live in peace. As it stands Muslims are often the victims of Islamist terror groups. But that is a digression.
