The more books cited the better. From both sides. I have already added "The Strange Death of Europe" to my reading list. The only reason to bother posting in forums such as this one is to learn, to test ones own beliefs and if the facts require it, change ones opinions. Only the small minded think they are here to "win". Here's an interesting link: https://www.vox.com/23924319/israel-palestine-apartheid-meaning-history-debate Read it, question what is being said and if you cannot refute it - change your opinion.

I have absolutely zero interest at all in scoring points against anonymous keyboard warriors. How utterly meaningless. I am looking for strong arguments against which to test my beliefs.

Bkk Brian Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Back on topic with no added book titles needed. This isn't a war Israel started - government spokesman Eylon Levy is a spokesperson for the Israeli government and he insists the country is "sick with worry" for the fate of the 230 people taken hostage three weeks ago. He tells BBC Radio 5 Live the 7 October attack by Hamas was “one of the most spectacular massacres in human history”, and that Israel is “determined that that will never happen again”. “This isn't a war that Israel started," Levy says. "This isn't a war that Israel even expected. It's a war that Hamas launched and declared against us.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise from the resident Hamas supporter. Brian, you simply haven't been paying attention. I have repeatedly condemned Hamas. Islamic terrorism is a blight on humanity. The best way to defeat it is to take away every ounce of legitimacy from their cause. By far, by far, the greatest asset Islamic terrorists have is the utterly appalling, inhumane, illegal and horrifying treatment of the Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli's. The world is paying a price for the proclivities of right wing extremist religious nutters hellbent on expanding Israel from the sea to the river. P!ssweak American politicians enable this nightmare. The only way for Israel to defeat Hamas and for the world to defeat Islamic terrorism is for Israel to start treating the Palestinians as human beings. Hamas only exists in inverse proportion to the humanity afforded to the Palestinians by the Israeli's and the West.
