Where do you stand on Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

I believe that both sides are equally flawed. The only way out will be a two state solution.

Israel should not be building in Palestine and Hamas should not be launching missiles into Tel-Aviv

 

I dont know what your talking about so i can't have an opinion

 

People will take stands, arguments to follow....

Same merry go-round, different horse. This is an (almost) intractable problem, complex beyond any one person's ability to comprehend...dreading what follows...

 

I'm on the Palestinian side, the way Israel was set up was wrong and it is no wonder the conflict continues, especially with the way Israel treats Palestinians. Though I am no advocate for a muslim state, or any church affiliated state, Palestine isn't in the exact wrong, though Israel at least is a little more progressive society wise.

If I had to live in either one it would be Israel, but my sympathy really only goes to Palestinians.

There are a lot of areas in the world with similar conflicts but not one that is U.S and Nato backed making the fight a little Biased, only thing I could think of that is similar is the Kosovo and Serbia conflict, though it is a little bit different, same with the Serbian and Bosnian wars, similar conflict over land, one side completely back by Western powers with little voice going to the other side.

It's none of my business what goes on there, as long as it doesn't effect Canada, I couldn't care less, but when innocent people are killed, and Western powers get involved, then it kind of becomes my business. Luckily Canada isn't that active in Israel.
Though we do help the country, we don't fund them as much as the U.S does.

 

Israel. Just like my whole country, including all politicians.

 

It was a big mistake to give land that contained the holy sites of 3 violent religions, to one group to rule. Especially considering the fact that that group was only a minority there at the time.

So Israel should be replaced by a multiethnic Palestine, with Jerusalem and holy sites internationalized and overseen by the UN.

 

I think that both sides are wrong here. Israel should not be building in Palestine land and Palestine should not be attacking Israel (Israel should also not be attacking Palestine).

 

To me it seems like the Palestinians, although they haven't always chosen the best methods to express their beliefs, are mostly in the right on this. The Israelis came into their lands, kicked them out of their homes, and now relegate them to live as second-class citizens in their own country. I don't care that Israelis had it first - it has been Palestinian for hundreds of years, you don't get to turn that sort of thing aside based on ancient historical claims.

 

I generally support the palestinians, but not absolutely. They really should stop bombing israel, for one. But the best solution now would just be the two state one.

I always thought they should have put israel somewhere else. That is mostly a joke, but putting israel back where it was supposed to be was always going to provoke its neighbors. Shoulda put it in europe or something.

 

That was the original plan, actually. Both the Israelis and Palestinians gave a firm no to that proposal. I doubt things would have changed.

 

Both sides are wrong. Though I have more problems with Israel than Palestine. Mostly because Israel is heavily funded by the US government, uses it's military to strong-arm the surrounding countries, and took land that did not belong to them. It was wrong. A lot of Israeli people live in very nice homes while a lot of Palestinians live in refugee camps because Israel's border is still expanding and they have no where to go. It is also very concerning to me that Israel has so many nuclear weapons. They're the biggest threat in the middle-east and they know it, so they force people to go along with their policies using the threat of nuclear warfare. I don't agree with the way Palestine and other middle-eastern governments treat they're people, but that's no reason to take land from underneath them and force innocent people to suffer.

 

everything palestine has done is in self-defence, israel on the other hand is a genocidal apartheid state

 

Palestine has territorial rights that Israel willingly ignores, but Palestine and Hamas committ many barbarous acts, as do the Israelis, and both are generally prejudiced.

 

Sending bombs across the border does not seem very self defense-y to me.

 

I'm on the anti-genocide side.

 

Uh... which side is that?

 

That's pretty much the point...

Right now, Israel is the one who grants citizenship to both ethnic groups (Israel is 25% Muslim), whereas Palestine won't even recognize the other nation as existing while it chucks bombs over the border. The Ashkenazi Jews basically bought Israel with their influence in Western Nations, and now they're abusing their power with a group that refuses to integrate over 70 years later and has terrorist groups lead them because of it.

Israel is the rich, snobby kid runs home to Daddy USA anytime it does something wrong (and takes advantage of it), and Palestine is like the scrawny bully who won't accept reality and does nothing to improve his status with people other than play the victim card to bleeding hearts. Both sides are right and wrong.

Israel is the child of ethnic conflict, and whether or not it should have been set up to begin with doesn't matter because we're way past that point now. Israel should give up its petty superiority complex and the US should stop the aid so that the nation might actually be accountable for something. And Palestine should welcome itself into the 21st fucking Century and be civil. I personally advocate for a one-state solution because separate has never meant equal.

 

I'm on pacifist side, with is composed by israelis and palestinians.
