What other conflict is a hundred years old and there is no real interest in solving it?Surprising that this major conflict in the world has so few debates.
Only it isn't a major conflict.
There's currently more than thirty armed conflicts in world today and the I/P Conflict rated consistently among the lowest in terms of both ongoing casualties and property loss.
However, it rates highest in terms of discussion and debate, as the content of this board attests. There are an order of magnitude more comments on this conflict compared to any other current armed conflict.
Given both those facts, one has to seriously consider the motivations or someone who is neither Israeli or Palestinian but is nonetheless obsessed with the conflict.
I seriously doubt those motivations are in the interest of a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
There has been a civil war raging in the Congo for decades. Ppl there cut out each others' hearts and eat them. I remember once you said that the Palestinian "occupation" is the only one in the world, when there are Tibet, Northern Cyprus, Chechnya, Catalonia, Kurdistan, etc. In general, ppl are obsessed with the Jews.
This nonsense is one of the central pillars of Hasbara, yet all one need do is examine briefly the conditions and proposed 'occupation' parallels of any of these inapplicable examples to look for comparisons to Israel's criminal occupation: So far as I'm aware none of these examples entail shelling captive civilians and targeting children, or using illegal settlements to artificially depopulate one side...this illiterate fool even references a "civil-war in the Congo"...the prevailing idea seems to be that Jews cannot be culpable for their crimes because they are Jewish...a far better question might be: why shouldn't we focus on the Israeli occupation to the extent that it is central to an area of critical religious, political and cultural importance?
