Is it somehow because we are not allowed to criticise your government because they are suppose to be immune to all criticism? Why should anybody be accused of being "Anti-Israel" like it meant something? Your government would never improve, if we are not allowed to criticise it. I criticise USA, China and Russia on this forum regularly. I fail to see why anyone else should be treated differently. Should I? Should I put your government on a pedestal and worship it?

Two peoples fighting for the same thing: examining the Israel-Palestine conflict, from 66AD to today
Apparently some people don't understand that this conflict is stupid. All that whining of "return our land" and "the right to settle in Jewish Holy Land" is just purely retarded dick waving. Should just dynamite the religious buildings in Jerusalem. Then there will be nothing left to fight for.

There was once the suggestion of going the Solomon route and glass the city with atomics to make a wide no-man's land with the crater under UN control.
The more harsh suggestion was that if people still felt like it was a holy site, place a rock at the center of the radiation zone. If the person could get to the rock and back unprotected and lived, then they were blessed or something like that. That is the kind of talk that happens when this thing keeps coming up again and again and again, endlessly for decades with no functional change in the situation for many decades. Nothing else seems to be done, either towards peace, or war. Just stagnation, hatred, and death, without purpose or end....but not war. War would actually imply something was happening to resolve the situation for one side or the other via violent action. This is not war...this is just repetitive bullying and/or terrorism with no gain for either side. No peace, just death, politics, and money.

The Brits and Austrians screwed it up after helping the Ottoman retake Palestine from Muhammad Ali of Egypt, which was then given to the British as a Mandate. That is where the trouble started, Zionism was a popular religious political front that culminated in all the raids and revolts in Palestine. The rest is history - 1948, 1967, 1987, 1993........

It is the religious significance in their texts, like the Dome of Rock, Solomon Stables, etc. That would be one less thing to argue about, even better if the entire Old City is demolished for the 2nd Tower of Babel.

Well, building a crazy oversized ziggurat would give them something to focus on other than blowing each other up.
What was the region like there before Britain decided to shoehorn Israel back into the area? Back when the Ottomans and Mamluks were running the place. Just quick glancing at Wikipedia (paragon of accuracy that it is) it seemed to imply that after the jewish population was forced out of Spain they went back to the area... and it seems, since there is no mention of conflict, that things were alright until Britain smacked down the Ottomans and setup their own governorship, culminating in a promise to make modern day Israel. I'd hazard that things weren't alright at all during the Ottoman and Mamluk rule, but there was a time when Islam and Judaism got on. I know I read it somewhere, or saw it in a documentary about a some ancient times.
