So a Malaysian plane flying over the Ukraine, piloted by a colored/non-white bear with a non-asian name and I can only assume round eyes as well, was shot down by a missile? Gee Obama, don't you think this is a little too obvious attempt to try and get us in a war with Russia, Iran, Syria, and Cuba?

Not really. They pretty much cannibalized the economy to rebuild the military while abandoning the social welfare aspect of their platform almost immediately, and kept along that track for the entirety of the regime. Not exactly the "Socialism" D&D is so hungry for, especially since the Nazis fought battles in the streets against actual socialists to wipe them out various times throughout the early '30s.

Also, regarding I/P, the biggest problem is that when you get down to it, nobody has any idea what to do about it and sitting on the issue only drives people to radicalism. 1948 created a huge refugee crisis in both Gaza and the West Bank, and the resentment of the Palestinians for being forcibly driven from the land and their homes only increased after the WB and Gaza were captured from Jordan and Egypt respectively in '67 and Israel started building settlements in the captured territories, driving out the Palestinians from even more land and restricting their freedom of movement in an already postage-stamp size of a territory*. At this point, the fact is that Israel holds all the cards, and as much negotiating the Palestinians could theoretically do nothing will change until the Israeli government lets it, which is decidedly not on the agenda for the current government. So it's not surprising that many Palestinians turn to violence, as it's the only avenue of change many of them feel they have left. And it's not surprising that the Israelis don't want to give up ground, because they already effectively hold the entire country and have nothing to gain in negotiations, and with regard to settlements everything to lose. Unfortunately, what this also means is that because Israel is a staunchly Jewish country, anti-Israel sentiments often turn into full-blown antisemitism, even though Judaism=/ Zionism and vice versa (See the many Christian evangelicals in the US who firmly support Israel). It's a fantastically lovely situation all around, and one that will likely have no solution since at this point there's just too much bad blood between the peoples. Palestinians shooting rockets into Israel, no matter how justified they think they are, only enrages otherwise reasonable Israelis, and 70+ years of refugee status because of Israel's policies isn't going to be easy for many Palestinians to forgive. poo poo sucks.

*I mean seriously, look at this poo poo, it's ridiculous.

Every one of the blue lines represents a "Settlement Bypass Road" that allows settlers to drive from Israel into West Bank settlements quickly and easily. Palestinians cannot use them except without a special permit. Given that the roads only serve the settlements and often ignore existing Palestinian towns, roads, and farms, it's not hard to see how they would make it much more difficult for a Palestinian to go from one side of the territory to another.

Too many facts. Please post in the usual format: QQ about D&D'rs, via increasingly bizarre hyperbole.

NAPALM STICKS TO: Jun 22, 2005

Snowden you never did answer the question posted quite a while ago asking what Israel has ever done for the US? And why exactly we should be supportive of them?

The current administration is not "actively hostile" to Israel in any way, shape or form. Less supportive, sure, but that's a good thing. I don't have any sympathy or regard for the Palestinians, but there is absolutely no reason why US policy should be so beholden to a foreign power. Especially one as useless as Israel. I won't even get into the whole USS Liberty thing.
