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.

Thanks for filling in some gaps.

I didn't say the Jews stole it. I said that -to the best of my knowledge- both sides have justifiable claims to the territory, or parts of it. They are stealing some NOW, advancing beyond the internationally recognized borders and establishing settlements in those annexed areas. Some were for defensive purposes (e.g. the Golan Heights are a good rocket/missile launching site if you want to rain down fire on Israel). Others are perhaps less justifiable.

I don't really have a dog in this fight. I think Israel is creating an apartheid environment, but Hamas (and others) aren't giving them a lot of choice. As usual, I suspect most of the ordinary citizens (of both sides) just want to go about their lives unmolested.
