“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”

Reads like a bloody Onion article.

    problems so tied to religious fundamentalism on both sides

    No actually, its the nakba. Its always been about the nakba and the murders done because of it. For 800 years of the existsnce of the ottoman empire the jews and muslims got along perfectly well in the middle east, and that ended when the ottoman empire was disolved after WW2… So history shows us your idea isnt true.

      yeah that explains everything. so why did religion hold so solidly through the ottoman empire then fall apart after it’s stability left?

      why did the sunnis and shiites start murdering each other after saddam ran?

      maybe without some very powerful base to threaten both sides into compliance, they can’t help but murder each other. because their religion commands it.

      the UK sold palestine twice. once to the Palestinians and then to the zionists.

      and those two couldn’t fucking make a paradise out of it, no, they had to start killing each other immediately.
