Stole this post from another board.
Basically sums up how I feel about Israel/Palestine. Comes under the "wish I'd said that category".
<i>I have practically zero opinion concerning the Israeli/Pal situation. I'm expecting that it will eventually resolve itself in one thoroughly nasty way or another and there is nothing I can do about it except observe.
That said, there are a few minuses for the Pals that everyone currently seem to have forgotten:
One: Their ancestry is mostly of the tribe of Judah. They are Jews who have decided to be Muslims. A final solution can be suggested from this knowledge - stop killing their brothers.
Two: Jordan and Saudi Arabia took the Pals in, in the distant past. While there, the Pals tried to take over those countries in ways similar to, but more primitive than, their current activities against Israel. This history does not inspire trust.
The Jordanians and Saudis gave them the boot and now they must live in "Palestine." And surrounding Muslim countries, including Jordan and the Saudis, egg the Pals into using their contrariness against the Israelis. A very elegant solution from the point of view of the inciters: Get two equally hated cultures to fight each other to the death. The Pals and Israelis would do much better to make common cause against the rest of the ME. But the Pals are too stupid.
It really sucks!</i>
