Actually it was Britain and France fudging around with it after WW1 that caused all the problems. Colonialism creates decades and centuries of trauma. Just some respect and application of self-determination could solve everything. Same with the Kurds

The region has been invaded and colonised countless times over the centuries. It’s far more complex than you are making it out to be. What Israel is doing now and has been doing for nearly 2 years is deplorable but the region has been a mess even before Britain had control of it. Colonialism and slavery has been practiced by almost every race at some point throughout history.

Wasn't even true colonialism that resulted in Britain controlling Palestine. The Ottoman Empire attacked Russia and declared alignment with Germany and Austria-Hungary. The defeat of the central powers necessitated the invasion and occupation of their territories and the British ended up taking and holding Palestine as a military necessity not for the purpose of colonisation.

That’s quite a sweeping generalisation. But I understand he has polarised people more so in the current climate.

A country that’s divided down the middle, with people on either side refusing to listen to each other’s points, while becoming more entrenched in their own views?

It’s impossible for anyone in the UK or the US to understand what that must feel like.

Sigh. It's all so easy isn't it. 'Waste of oxygen' this and 'dingdong' that. So much anger; I'd love to see some positive ideas as to how things can change.

Until then, here's a song for you to wrap your ears around. Enjoy it amigo...

No anger. You do know you can make a comment with emotions like anger?

Positive ideas? Let me think …
