Gaza ceasefire deal to begin on Sunday - ‘permanent end to war’

[quintessentone]

The modern state of Israel was formed in 1948, however Jews have settled in that region as far back as the Roman and Babylonian times.  They've been there thousands of years.  I don't understand why they're considered colonizers.

No easy solution to this problem.

Here's another interesting take.

"We have seen this pattern before, and history offers no comfort. Oslo was hailed as a breakthrough. The 2005 Gaza disengagement was supposed to enhance Israeli security. The Abraham Accords were meant to create a new regional architecture.
 Each time, the unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict reasserted itself, disrupting grand plans and exposing the illusion that the problem could be managed, contained or wished away.
 
The current ceasefire will follow the same trajectory. There will be reconstruction promises that fade, gradual deterioration of the agreement, renewed tensions and eventual violence. The hostages will return home until new ones are taken.
 
The cycle continues because the underlying drivers remain unchanged: irreconcilable visions of security and sovereignty, the role of external sponsors who benefit from continued conflict and the absence of political will to address root causes.
 
But while everyone else cycles through violence and temporary peace, Qatar accumulates influence. The emirate has discovered that in the Middle East's endless conflicts, the real winners are not those who fight but those who broker the peace between fighters."


The Real Winner Of The Gaza Ceasefire: Qatar

Wrong or right depends on the biased lens in which we look through.

Not predominantly Israel.

But I imagine the answer regarding foreign aid is tied to the likes of national interest, global stability, and moral responsibility.

It would also seem to align with Christian teachings about compassion and charity, would it not?

Nah foreign aid is mostly to get some other country to play along with the interests of others. Like what the IMF did to Greece. 
Christian teachings are just to get average Joe play nice, religion is more to do with telling people god favours them and it’s ok to go kill and plunder the non believers.

Yeah, they always want money. 

What was it George said? 




The thing about foreign aid is that if it reaches its intended target, that's a good thing, and not like it always does.

We think we have poverty in our respective nations, and by our own standards, that's correct. 

Some of the rest of the places around the globe through, beggars believe, where real poverty and strife are concerned.

I suggest you go read a history book on the Palestinian people and their actions throughout history.   Because if you want to talk about someone with blinders on find a mirror.  You need to educate yourself on who you’re defending.   

They’re awful houseguest ask Egypt, Libya, Kuwait, Jordan, Denmark.  To some degree they’ve tried to overthrow almost all these countries.  In general they’re awful people that don’t GAF about anyone that tries to help them.  Like many other countries, Kuwait gave them refuge and they took up arms against them.   They’ve created terror cells EVERYWHERE they go.  

I stand by my original stance on this war which is to turn Gaza into glass.   Harsh as it may sound, it couldn’t happen to a better group of people, they’ve fully earned it.

I suggest you read the complete history of this conflict, not just the one-sided historical account that feeds your bias.
