Israel rocks! Hamas to be nuked!
Until Palestinians have their own country nothing else will do. Palestinians are made up of Muslims, Christians and other denominations related to the two. It need not be one of religion. Its about giving people their land back. Hanan Ashrawi is an Anglican Christian whose father a doctor, was one of the founding member of the PLO. George Habash is a Eastern Orthodox Christian who led the PFLP shortly after graduating from medical school. He masterminded the hijacking of planes to fight for his cause in the 70s.
I have huge respect for Hanan Ashrawi.
The Palestinians already have their own country. It's called 'Jordan'. They just want another.
The Palestinians are predominantly muslim, and any such country will be an islamic one.
Secular muslim dominated countries always end up as theocracies with institutionalized discrimination against non-muslims. Over the decades, the proportion of non-muslims will dwindle, either due to conversion by pressure or leaving. Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia are good examples. Lebanon is next. Lebanon used to be Christian majority country. Now, it is dominated by a Shia Hezbollah.
The Palestinians have made it clear repeatedly that they want everything. They want a one-state solution that is muslim palestinian dominated. Any sharing of land or Jerusalem is just a stepping stone to achieving this objective. Hamas stepped up their attacks after Israel gave away Gaza, so giving away land for peace brought only more violence.
There is growing trend amongst the Palestinians to move towards a one state solution where they are recognised as equals. IsraelI Arabs (bedouins) also prefer it. Most people want to be treated equally and the right to live in the land of their ancestors.
MAGA all the way!The last FOUR presidents all promised to move the American embassy to its rightful location.
Only ONE President has delivered on his promise. The rest don't have the guts or the gumption to make the hard decisions.
Trump is the best! Long live Trump!
