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.

If this is Albabys stance (you don’t want to put words in his mouth) then he stands as a supporter of the ongoing Palestinian genocide.

It is not my stance. I think it might help if I gave a quick summary of what I believe:

1) The Jewish people have the same right to have a country as any of the other peoples of the world to have their own country.
2) The same is true of the Palestinians.
3) It is wrong for the Israeli government to attempt to displace the Palestinian residents of the West Bank and Gaza, and it is wrong for them to permit (or directly cause) the expansion of settlements in those areas.
4) Prior to the October 7 attacks, I believed that the best chance for a lasting and just peace was Partition along the lines of the Indian Partition. Separation of the physical territory into two lands, within which each people would have sovereignty and independence from each other.
5) After the October 7 attacks, I believe that creating a Palestinian state in any near-term time frame would most likely result in Hamas becoming the "Founding Fathers" of the new Palestinian state - and we would end up right back where we are now. Hamas would attack again (because they are committed to doing that), but this time with the resources of having their own actual military and air force, and Israel would have to counter-attack.

I do not support any genocide against the Palestinians. They are also indigenous people to the area. The Jews and the Palestinians will need to find a way to coexist - there is no getting rid of either of them, despite what the contemptible and detestable fools that currently comprise the Israeli government think.
