re: #416 Shimshon

Yup, I am going to bail on that line of argument too, it is way above my paygrade and I am not a fan of any religion anyway (which fuels much of what is going on there), as geopolitics, historical issues, and naked hatred of each other.

I have been to both Israel and the West Bank, and found both Israelis and Palestinians to be nice people (perhaps because I was an American and in the Navy, and not a member of either group). Most people just want to live their lives without interference, but both sides seem to have people that benefit from keeping up the hate and discontent.

I don’t claim to have an answer to their real problems; they didn’t teach me political science in high school.
