the Jews have been returning to their ancestral home since the 1850’s and yes only want to be left alone. Israel is also the only country in that part of the world that is truly accepting of other religious points of view. As for 1948 , everyone living in the region at that time were free to join the new state of Israel but choose hate war and propaganda instead

Israel is one % of the Middle East and if left alone they just want to live life as the only democratic government in that part of the world. There has never been a Muslim Palestine state except when created by the Turkish or British empire and your Palestinian friends are misguided Jordanians

Glad you don’t suffer from TDS as a lot of people do these days and and can see that although flawed in some ways Trump has done some good things. I can’t disagree more however on the subject of Israel, as the oldest culture in the Middle East and an established kingdom thousands of years before a single Muslim walked the face of the earth, modern day Israel is the historical home of the Jewish people and therefore the land belongs to them. As for Hamas I see them as a terrorist organization that hides behind it own people and uses them as human shields

we probably have some view points in common as I was once married to an English woman and lived in Sheffield for a couple years and have some understanding of the English, how ever although I’m not not the biggest Trump fan and also think he is far to boasting, I think he is correct in deporting gang members and the unfortunate situation in Palestine is manly cause by it population following Hamas much like the innocent German population that suffered immensely when they followed Hitler

Oh kind of fun playing tit for tat with history and you do make some good points but I think America has played a much larger role in the misguided wars of Europe than you give it credit for and has gained little from it. It is true that America has gotten itself in trouble over the years by it foreign entanglements and should have been a little more self interested, however we still have a country to save while the UK is well on its way to becoming Britt-land-a-Stan with it capital of London-bad and it won’t be long before you have all the laws and customs that follow!

after breaking away from old world Europe, America came back and pulled your chestnuts out of the fire not once but twice and then rebuilt Western Europe under the Marshal plan. I have lived and worked there, nice building and good food and coffee in some places but that’s about it

truth never goes away but although not the biggest Trump fan I think his demands of fair trading agreements are correct
