    Just as in any schoolyard fight when you remove the power imbalance and or the bully the problem goes away.

    The solution here is to move one of the “kids in the fight” somewhere else. One of them is saying I was here first. The other kid has a rich dad.

    We all know what the correct moral decision is here when you take away the political labels.

    The big fuckup here was by daddy England back in 1947 and he’s got massive egg and on his face right now.

      In a fair world, I would agree with you. But in every conflict since the beginning of time, at least on this faulty rock careening through space, the wealthy are the winners. Every king became king because he controlled the most resources and squashed his opposers.

      If the rest of the world hadn’t gotten involved I don’t think Gaza would have even made it this far.
