The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I tend to think of it (lately) as Native American reservations. Fortunately, ours are mostly peaceful, and utilize protest and the political process. In Israel, they (whichever side you choose) cannot tolerate the "theft" of the land, and engage in terrorist/guerilla activities. Depending on the moment in history you choose, either side could be the "out" side.

Within my lifetime I have heard calls for a separate black homeland (and a Muslim homeland) within the US. Which is somewhat hysterical given that this is the homeland of the Native Americans, so there can be neither a black nor Muslim "homeland" because there never was (not on this continent).

The Israeli/Palestinian conflict doesn't seem to have a political process, and neither side wants to give up one square centimeter. Maybe someday someone will, but I'd be surprised. At this point I'm expecting Israel to pretty much wipe out the Palestinians. Or so marginalize them that they scatter like the Roma. A forced diaspora.
