Cold War? Try the World Wars, especially with the English gov and the infamous letter and their scribbles on a map denoting new country lines without any concerns for kinship, tribal or religious factors. Not even getting into internal regional politics of the time. Hell, further back with consistent fighting for millennia. Not only around religions (crusades, etc etc) but also because it's a key geographic intersection of a bunch of continental regions. Whoever has control over the broader region would be rolling in money influence and power. I mean, if we're going all the way back, the broader area including the Levant is one of three key areas of earliest known settled living and agriculture (Levant especially). It's always had some kind of humanoid presence, which means always some kind of jostling for resources.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-01-06

Yeah isn't Hamas a terrorist group based out of another country? The last elections that Palestine had were before most Palestinians were born.

Of course they don't. Israel killing more people is exactly what Hamas wanted from day 1.

Every day Israel attacks Palestine, Hamas wins politically. Israel is only getting hated more and getting less slack every single day. Only way Israel can win this politically is get other countries to take the lead in going after Hamas.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-01-06
This makes me thing I was thinking even better. When I saw that headline I was really curious why this was being said by Biden and not by someone from Israel. It felt a lot like an outsider deciding that the war is over while the people actually in the war not being aware of that decision. Now your comment makes that even crazier. Then again if this just means that other people in power in Israel have agreed to this deal but just Netanyahu not being part of that but the terms of the deal can still be kept even without him, that's good enough for me. Just like when it comes to America, it's not the American people that we don't like, it's your government and the people in power. So, nothing against Israeli citizens (apart from settlers, screw them.), but screw the Israeli government, specifically Netanyahu.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-01-06
Yeah but billions of dollars were also spent on Gaza to improve living standards there by the west as well. The idea was that if we could turn Gaza into a place that would be worth living then the population would be less likely to keep attacking Israel, but instead they took the billions of dollars in aid, turned them into missiles instead and shot them at Israel daily. People in Gaza would rather live in slums as long as Jewish people are dieing.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-01-06
part of the deal afaik is the stipulation that hamas cannot be in power and is not allowed to rearm. Qatar has said they would guarantee that hamas maintains its obligations with regards to the deal.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-01-06

Depends on what the orders were. If they were to throw rioters out the white house like he wanted then yes I think they would have listened. I think the issue is that he wants voting to be more like other more democratic countries that require citizenship identification and restrictions on particular practices susceptible to fraud like mail in ballots. And because the Democrats are against those which looks highly suspicious, Trump accuses them of false plays. And people interpret that as Trump being against democracy where in fact looking at the details in his policies, he's actually trying to bring it up to standard of other democratic countries. But he talk quite belligerantly so people think he's a meanie that wants to overthrow the government.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-01-06
I'm just saying that this is a very serious allegation that would be stronger if bolstered by a serious source, which is not a reach. It's just basic journalism.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06
The connection was that I thought it is inaccurate. Selling the country to the highest bidder also means decreasing the reach and power of the government by leaving more to free market capitalism which is the libertarian leaning policy which is significant to why people want him - to help with the economy & improve peoples quality of life with decreasing cost of living. The first term was fine, he held a stable economy, improved funding for predominantly black colleges, steadily increased employment rates until he dealt moderately fine with covid compared to other similar nations. He definitely would not just break any laws, I'm not sure why you would think that other than being told it by uninformed media. He would like to stay in for another term because he doesn't like the democrat alternative, as is his right to run for election to. You could say he wants immunity for prosecution or you could say he want to fight an overt weaponisation of the judicial system to persecute a political opponent. Unless you really do feel that strongly about mislabeling an expense.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-02-06

Because literally no one in the developing world has internet access? Wow, that seems pretty prejudiced to me. Vegans frequently argue for idiotic plans to veganize the whole world even though doing so in places like Sudan would cause mass starvation. Vegans just say "well they can just develop agriculture" while not realizing that some places are not suited for agriculture, for example, in places like Sudan where almost nothing grows and thus people rely on raising livestock for meat and milk in order to not starve. There is no amount of money or science that can transform a place like Sudan into a breadbasket (at least places far from the Nile, where plenty of people live) When people criticize the impracticality of vegan plans for rearranging global diets and agriculture, instead of actually debating or defending their plans on their own merits using argumentation, so many vegans like you resort to ad hominems and accuse the other side of just being fat slobs who want an excuse to continue eating meat. You always assume we have a disagreement about the ethics of eating meat or just want an excuse to continue eating meat, even though most of us just acknowledge that being a vegan is only possible in the first world. Whether or not we agree with the ethics of eating meat has nothing to do with arguments about practicality. I agree: in a world where non-animal products were easily available to every single human being, then yes, eating or using animal products would be unethical. We don't live in that world. Himalayans need sheep wool to not freeze to death and goat meat to not starve. I don't care about meat, I can live fine on rice and beans every day. But most vegans I've talked to scoff at you when you tell them that veganism is impossible and even deadly if implemented globally right now, they sincerely believe the whole world has to conform to their diet no matter the circumstances. It doesn't matter if you're a pastoralist in Central Asia where literally nothing grows, or a fisher in Somalia or Sudan where nothing grows, so many vegans are offended if you remind them that these people don't have the option of becoming vegan because nothing grows where they live and because their economies aren't in a position to import food on a large scale. Not only that, but there are tribes that have traditionally hunted for millennia. Suddenly forcing them to give up their way of life is going to cause conflict. There's already enough conflict in India because schizo Hindu extremists attack Muslims for eating beef.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-01-06

They don’t necessarily need to have them if they can augment on site small scale arms manufacturing with weapons smuggling from bad faith outside actors. The fact that they’re still launching rockets is proof alone that they’re capable of waging war even if there’s no way for them to win. The fact that Hamas hasn’t surrendered is half the problem in the first place. As an aside, there’s no historical example exactly like this scenario so there’s no need to pick apart a comparison that’s made to make a specific point. Is it that hard to see the point that although Hamas currently isn’t able repeat October 7th, what guarantees does Israel have that they won’t eventually attain that capability again with time?	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-31-05

One issue is that the PA's own educational curriculum and TV, including children's TV in many ways promotes Hamas POV that it is a religious conflict and a religious obligation to kill Jews and recapture the Temple Mount.

I’m sorry but this distinction you make between Hamas and the ordinary Palestinians is simply not supported by reality. Some 70-90% of the Palestinians depending on location support October 7th. If there were elections now, Hamas would win by a landslide. The PLO, allegedly the moderates, pay terrorists in a pay-for-slay scheme, the more they murdered the more they get. Any talk of a Palestinian state at this stage creates an automatic connection in the eyes of the people in the Middle East that it was the Hamas attack that initiated this talk, I.e. Hamas is responsible for the establishment of the Palestinian state. This will embolden further terrorists and enemies of Israel to follow Hamas. That’s how they see it, and that’s why talking about it right now is disastrous and completely detrimental to any efforts of peace. Peace in the Middle East can only be achieved from a position of power, and following a total defeat of Hamas. Even mentioning it before is harmful. And even after that, it will take decades of deradicalization which will be several orders of magnitude more difficult than the one done in post ww2 Germany in order for the Palestinians to reach a state where they can establish a peaceful regime because there’s a religious aspect to their hatred which is much harder to combat. This whole talk is decades prematurely and is outright destructive. Let Israel finish the job, we live here, we know what must be done. Overnight solutions have never and will never work here. The defeat of Hamas must be COMPLETELY detached from any talk about a Palestinian state in order for it to have any chance for success.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-31-05

Its historical revisionism to say Japan was on the cusp of surrender. That's simply not true.

Likud has been openly pro settlement for decades now, probably more than a quarter century, and you can't be pro settlement and pro creation of a palestinian state as that is easily one of the biggest impediments to any two state solution. This isn't about "rewarding terrorism", It's an active plan to make a two state solution impossible, which makes violence innevitable and is a long term attempt to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from the west bank and from Gaza to acheive ""between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-31-05

Eh, while I am skeptical that SA would agree to such a plan, their agreement isn’t the achilles heel of the plan. The question is “Will the Saudis actually use force against Palestinians to seize weapons & prevent attacks?” & “Will the Saudis stick around when their troops are targeted by Palestinian suicide bombers?”. Even if SA agrees to implement the plan, getting them to follow through on those two issues is much more doubtful.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-31-05

Yeah isn't Hamas a terrorist group based out of another country? The last elections that Palestine had were before most Palestinians were born. I don't think there is any Palestinian government to make deals with, what Israel needs to do now is stop blindly bombing Palestine and work towards providing aid towards the displaced refugees.

This makes me thing I was thinking even better. When I saw that headline I was really curious why this was being said by Biden and not by someone from Israel. It felt a lot like an outsider deciding that the war is over while the people actually in the war not being aware of that decision. Now your comment makes that even crazier. Then again if this just means that other people in power in Israel have agreed to this deal but just Netanyahu not being part of that but the terms of the deal can still be kept even without him, that's good enough for me. Just like when it comes to America, it's not the American people that we don't like, it's your government and the people in power. So, nothing against Israeli citizens (apart from settlers, screw them.), but screw the Israeli government, specifically Netanyahu.

Yeah but billions of dollars were also spent on Gaza to improve living standards there by the west as well. The idea was that if we could turn Gaza into a place that would be worth living then the population would be less likely to keep attacking Israel, but instead they took the billions of dollars in aid, turned them into missiles instead and shot them at Israel daily. People in Gaza would rather live in slums as long as Jewish people are dieing.

Depends on what the orders were. If they were to throw rioters out the white house like he wanted then yes I think they would have listened. I think the issue is that he wants voting to be more like other more democratic countries that require citizenship identification and restrictions on particular practices susceptible to fraud like mail in ballots. And because the Democrats are against those which looks highly suspicious, Trump accuses them of false plays. And people interpret that as Trump being against democracy where in fact looking at the details in his policies, he's actually trying to bring it up to standard of other democratic countries. But he talk quite belligerantly so people think he's a meanie that wants to overthrow the government.

The connection was that I thought it is inaccurate. Selling the country to the highest bidder also means decreasing the reach and power of the government by leaving more to free market capitalism which is the libertarian leaning policy which is significant to why people want him - to help with the economy & improve peoples quality of life with decreasing cost of living. The first term was fine, he held a stable economy, improved funding for predominantly black colleges, steadily increased employment rates until he dealt moderately fine with covid compared to other similar nations. He definitely would not just break any laws, I'm not sure why you would think that other than being told it by uninformed media. He would like to stay in for another term because he doesn't like the democrat alternative, as is his right to run for election to. You could say he wants immunity for prosecution or you could say he want to fight an overt weaponisation of the judicial system to persecute a political opponent. Unless you really do feel that strongly about mislabeling an expense.

Because literally no one in the developing world has internet access? Wow, that seems pretty prejudiced to me. Vegans frequently argue for idiotic plans to veganize the whole world even though doing so in places like Sudan would cause mass starvation. Vegans just say "well they can just develop agriculture" while not realizing that some places are not suited for agriculture, for example, in places like Sudan where almost nothing grows and thus people rely on raising livestock for meat and milk in order to not starve. There is no amount of money or science that can transform a place like Sudan into a breadbasket (at least places far from the Nile, where plenty of people live) When people criticize the impracticality of vegan plans for rearranging global diets and agriculture, instead of actually debating or defending their plans on their own merits using argumentation, so many vegans like you resort to ad hominems and accuse the other side of just being fat slobs who want an excuse to continue eating meat. You always assume we have a disagreement about the ethics of eating meat or just want an excuse to continue eating meat, even though most of us just acknowledge that being a vegan is only possible in the first world. Whether or not we agree with the ethics of eating meat has nothing to do with arguments about practicality. I agree: in a world where non-animal products were easily available to every single human being, then yes, eating or using animal products would be unethical. We don't live in that world. Himalayans need sheep wool to not freeze to death and goat meat to not starve. I don't care about meat, I can live fine on rice and beans every day. But most vegans I've talked to scoff at you when you tell them that veganism is impossible and even deadly if implemented globally *right now*, they sincerely believe the whole world has to conform to their diet no matter the circumstances. It doesn't matter if you're a pastoralist in Central Asia where literally nothing grows, or a fisher in Somalia or Sudan where nothing grows, so many vegans are offended if you remind them that these people don't have the option of becoming vegan *because nothing grows where they live* and because their economies aren't in a position to import food on a large scale. Not only that, but there are tribes that have traditionally hunted for millennia. Suddenly forcing them to give up their way of life is going to cause conflict. There's already enough conflict in India because schizo Hindu extremists attack Muslims for eating beef.

They don’t necessarily need to have them if they can augment on site small scale arms manufacturing with weapons smuggling from bad faith outside actors. The fact that they’re still launching rockets is proof alone that they’re capable of waging war even if there’s no way for them to win. The fact that Hamas hasn’t surrendered is half the problem in the first place. As an aside, there’s no historical example exactly like this scenario so there’s no need to pick apart a comparison that’s made to make a specific point. Is it that hard to see the point that although Hamas currently isn’t able repeat October 7th, what guarantees does Israel have that they won’t eventually attain that capability again with time?

One issue is that the PA's own educational curriculum and TV, including children's TV in many ways promotes Hamas POV that it is a religious conflict and a religious obligation to kill Jews and recapture the Temple Mount.

I’m sorry but this distinction you make between Hamas and the ordinary Palestinians is simply not supported by reality. Some 70-90% of the Palestinians depending on location support October 7th. If there were elections now, Hamas would win by a landslide. The PLO, allegedly the moderates, pay terrorists in a pay-for-slay scheme, the more they murdered the more they get. Any talk of a Palestinian state at this stage creates an automatic connection in the eyes of the people in the Middle East that it was the Hamas attack that initiated this talk, I.e. Hamas is responsible for the establishment of the Palestinian state. This will embolden further terrorists and enemies of Israel to follow Hamas. That’s how they see it, and that’s why talking about it right now is disastrous and completely detrimental to any efforts of peace. Peace in the Middle East can only be achieved from a position of power, and following a total defeat of Hamas. Even mentioning it before is harmful. And even after that, it will take decades of deradicalization which will be several orders of magnitude more difficult than the one done in post ww2 Germany in order for the Palestinians to reach a state where they can establish a peaceful regime because there’s a religious aspect to their hatred which is much harder to combat. This whole talk is decades prematurely and is outright destructive. Let Israel finish the job, we live here, we know what must be done. Overnight solutions have never and will never work here. The defeat of Hamas must be COMPLETELY detached from any talk about a Palestinian state in order for it to have any chance for success.

Likud has been openly pro settlement for decades now, probably more than a quarter century, and you can't be pro settlement and pro creation of a palestinian state as that is easily one of the biggest impediments to any two state solution. This isn't about "rewarding terrorism", It's an active plan to make a two state solution impossible, which makes violence innevitable and is a long term attempt to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from the west bank and from Gaza to acheive ""between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."

Eh, while I am skeptical that SA would agree to such a plan, their agreement isn’t the achilles heel of the plan. The question is “*Will the Saudis actually use force against Palestinians to seize weapons & prevent attacks?*” & “*Will the Saudis stick around when their troops are targeted by Palestinian suicide bombers?*”. Even if SA agrees to implement the plan, getting them to follow through on those two issues is much more doubtful.
