I don't give a crap what our propaganda media says. Find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet? Stop that "humanitarian crisis" that Qaddafi was about to cause by killing him and leaving Libya in civil war with slavery markets? Find out how "Russia hacked out election" yet? They are pure propaganda, and you're an idiot if you don't recognize it at this point.
Give me a government document. Try to find one. Good luck. I've looked for YEARS.
You have no idea what the Palestinians were offered, and neither do I. Why do you think that is? Why do you think Israel NEVER publishes their offer, or makes it open and available for inspection? Why do you think that is? Maybe the Internet isn't big enough?
I do know, that Israel has a nuclear arsenal, that they have the military might to unilaterally declare their borders and that they won't.
Israel will expel or murder the Palestinians in time, they will expel their Arab population that currently lives in Israel or at minimum make them 2nd class citizens, and that they will expand until they collapse. That's been their direction for SEVENTY YEARS, and it's not going to stop any time soon. This is a nation that was caught sterilizing black Ethiopian Jews without their consent or knowledge with depo provara. They are the most violently racist group in the "western" world - they're not going to change.
FFS - show me one of the deals. I want to see precisely what was offered. An official document. Let's see ONE example of what was offered. Surely you can find one, since so many deals were offered. Show me one.

The Muslim world has pretty much ethnically cleansed every last Jew, Christian, Hindu, Animist..........from the Middle East over the last 50 years.
And you are all bent that the Jews in Israel are hanging onto a tiny scrap of land to avoid the plight of ME Christians and Yazidis?

I'm hell bent on staying out of other people's self created problems. A bunch of Zionists created this problem, let them deal with it.
If you feel differently, sign up for the IDF.
I'm just sick and tired of people's constant whining that a nuclear power with an airforce, and a military, that regularly bombs ghettos is somehow the poor poor victim of those people in the ghettos. Oh poor Israel! Gee whiz, they only get 4 billion dollars a year in aid from the US, Please won't somebody please help them? After all the Palestinians have stones, and they have some crappy rockets that land almost exclusively in fields.
Yep, the Israelis are the victims.
Like I said, it doesn't matter. Israel will continue on their current course, Hasbera will continue to operate, MEMRI will continue to produce propaganda, and this will march on and on and on until like every nation, it eventually collapses and you can pretend that Israel is filled with humanitarians that just want to help the poor Palestinians, but they can't because of some rockets, with no warheads, powered literally by urea. Whatever.

Really? Muslims from Iran to Algeria ethnically cleansed Christians, Jews and Hindus from the entire Middle East because some Arabs living in Palestine refused to live peacefully with Jews........many of who fled from the Holocaust and persecution from Arab countries?

Who is talking about them?
I'm just pointing out, that Israel will eventually take over the West Bank, and probably Gaza, they will remove their non Jewish population by some method, and this has always been the plan. There will never be a two state solution and oh golly, some people resist it still - pointlessly.
That's all I'm talking about.
If Israel had ANY intention of creating a two state solution, Israel is clearly powerful enough to do it today. The only possible reason they won't do this, is that they are going to take over all the land. There might be some reservations set aside, and that's about it. When Israel offers some "generous deal", nobody is given access to the actual deal, and all you know about them is what some propagandist in the Western press writes about them. The reason this happens, is that it probably isn't a generous deal and Israel has no intention of having a deal made.
Come up with an alternative explanation.

You mean an infamous Pirate Den had given the French too much shit over many centuries, so the French took it over and barely gave the barbarians a veneer of civilization.
The Algerians still owe France trillions for a millenia of rape, looting, burning, raids, and slavery. Corsica, Sardinia, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, etc. are all owed big money by North Africans.
Then, after demanding the French leave France to have home rule, a huge number moved to France to create Algerian Welfare Colonies on the outskirts of major French Cities.

How could there be an Israeli or Palestinian Government document from 1947 when there was neither? There was only a loose Arab League of several Arab Countries speaking on behalf of the Levantine Arabs (not yet Palestinians) and the Jews.
There was a UN plan that was approved in the assembly, rejected by all Arabs, but accepted by the provisional Israeli government.
Most of the half of the remaining quarter was the Negev, completely useless wasteland with no agra or mineral resources. Cannot even support humans even on a subsidence scale. Again, 75% of Palestine was already given to the Arab State of Jordan by the UK in the 1920s.

Oh, and here is the full plan. It took me 30 seconds using Duck Duck Go to find it, I'm sorry you spent years looking for it.

Until the 1960s, there were no Palestinians, only Arabs. In fact, any use of the term "Palestinians" referred to Jews

Wait, this isn't very funny. It's just business as usual, with the mega-rich Democratic elite defending child molesters and undermining democracy with money to try to keep globalization going.
A Silicon Valley billionaire who helped rehab the image of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is now pouring major cash into the super PAC supporting Joe Biden's candidacy.
The Unite the Country PAC, which launched in late October as Biden was posting low fundraising totals, hauled in $4.2 million in February, its newest records show. Its largest donation was $1 million from LinkedIn founder and Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman, who previously apologized for "helping to repair" Epstein's reputation and for funding a pro-Democrat disinformation campaign in Alabama.
The pro-Biden PAC has provided an outside cash boost to Biden's bid for the nomination. Biden initially chastised the PAC's formation, leading the group to shut down. Biden's communications director said at the time the candidate "does not welcome assistance from super PACs." The former vice president later reversed course after fundraising troubles, and the PAC began operations again. Unite the Country has since poured millions into Iowa and Super Tuesday states. It is currently running advertisements repeating two debunked claims about President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Hoffman—the PAC's largest donor with $1.5 million in contributions—acknowledged he had several interactions with Epstein. The billionaire tech mogul said he put Epstein in contact with others for fundraising purposes after the child molester had been charged with sex crimes. In August 2015, Hoffman invited Epstein and Joi Ito, the former director of MIT's Media Lab, to dinner in California.
Wait, this isn't very funny. It's just business as usual, with the mega-rich Democratic elite defending child molesters and undermining democracy with money to try to keep globalization going.

Here's a simple challenge: name one case when Israel would start fighting unprovoked and/or not already under attack.
The only way you can dodge this challenge is by drifting off to the land of batshit crazy. Such as by claiming that respective attacks on Israel were in fact false flags.
Here's a bit of humor to lighten everyone's day. Well, may be not, because it's "you can't make this up" type of a thing. Those who already associate UN with clown world will likely find it humorous.
This is about Iron Dome, super advanced and expensive Israeli technology which protects civilians from these "false flag" rocket attacks. Well, I came across this precious piece from 2014 https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/1/un-condemns-israel-us-not-sharing-iron-dome-hamas/
"U.N. condemns Israel, U.S. for not sharing Iron Dome with Hamas.
The United Nations slammed Israel for possibly committing war crimes in its fight against Hamas — and then backed that accusation by suggesting the Jewish nation ought to be sharing its Iron Dome defensive technology with the very terror group it’s fighting."
Oh BS. If Israel was at all interested in a two state solution, Israel would have declared their borders 40 years ago, and whatever was left over would have been "Palestine".
Israel intends to take over the entire West Bank, and probably Gaza as well. They will either exterminate the people living there or expel them.
It's always very convenient that "Palestinians" send over rockets at opportune times, to justify Israel's incursions into what remains of Palestinian territory. Considering the history of false flags, I would expect people to be more suspicious. The only thing that lobbing some rocket into Israel from Palestinian territory is justification of Israel to build a new settlement, I have to wonder why Palestinians bother. I can see how it advantages Israel though.

I'm down with schoolteachers and EduAdmins getting $2000/month in lieu of their normal salary.
Also, a 10-second google search shows that the UK (England isn't a country, Britain is a Country) is paying UP TO 80% to a maximum of 2500 Pounds (for the most critical workers only). IF - and only IF - Companies keep them on the Payroll. So the government isn't paying everybody 80% of salary, they're compensating companies UP TO 80% (at the very best and not all employees) to keep them on. It's up to businesses to make up the difference.
