Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Math Junkie]

"I think we have some fairly wide consensus on the thread with the exception a very vocal minority on the thread that Israel is the promised land for the Jewish people which is beyond debate and entails them of our strongest support when attacked."

I don't know what the majority on this thread is, but I most strenuously disagree with that premise. I don't care who thinks what land was promised to them by whom, or who lived there "first" in ancient times. What I say is that the people who are there NOW should stop trying to punish each other for the sins of their parents, and should start looking for PRACTICAL solutions that haven't been tried yet. What entitles the Jewish people to our support is that no one should have to put up with being murdered or driven out of their homes. The same thing goes for the Palestinians.
