General Discussion

For whatever conflict I have with that the same area is a holy area for 3 religions and the conflict that dividing that area creates, Israel absolutely has a right to exist. One of the things history teaches is that a people without a state will struggle. Look at Chinese treatment of minorities, European and American treatment of native populations, nazi treatment of Jews, Roma, etc.

I disagree with some of the Israeli government's actions, but I do that with every government.

That does mean I also believe the Palestinians should have their own state, but their leaders unfortunately have made it really difficult to trust them with that. And that's before even trying to figure out how to divide the holy sites and make sure that Hamas doesn't become the government of a Palestinian state since their mission statement is no Israel and a commitment to violent ends.
