    My mother used to say if children are old enough to ask a question, their old enough to get an honest answer. It's adults who mess it all up by withholding information in an effort to 'protect' them.

    If you look at it from a Greater Israel / lebensraum perspective then a lot of things start making more sense: why the constant provocations and settlement expansion ( prior to and precipitating Oct7, as well as right now ), why the total destruction of people's homes and infrastructure, the desire to expel people and starve them out. In isolation "they don't make sense" but there is a perspective on the actions where they actually make total sense.

    The West Bank came from Jordan. The Gaza came from Egypt. Both in defensive wars. So where exactly is Palestine? Where is their embassy in the USA?

    • @mikecaetano
      @mikecaetano 5 месяцев назад

      Palestine is exactly where everybody knows where it is, except those who pretend it does not exist as a flimsy justification for settler colonialism and worse. Where is the Kurdish embassy in the USA? The presence or absence of an embassy holds no bearing on whether a people exist or not. Such thinking appears to seek to eliminate those people from existence, almost as a sort of intellectual genocide...

    • @anthonymatthews3698
      @anthonymatthews3698 5 месяцев назад

      You’re a bigot, looking for justification of Israel’s crimes against humanity. Learn some history and stop the misinformation. Jordan controlled the West Bank only from 1948 to 1967, so before that, it was part of the British mandate in support of the Palestinians. Regarding Gaza, Egypt didn’t own it, it was administered by Egypt for the Palestinians from 2948 until Israel stole it in 1967 during the six day war, just like the West Bank. Israel is really good at taking what is not theirs. To answer your question, Palestine was what is now modern day Israel, and Palestinians didn’t just magically appear, they have always been there. Regarding their embassy, they have been seeking recognition for decades, and every time they do, the USA vetoes resolutions and Israel throws a hissy fit and builds more settlements. Does that answer your question Einstein!?

    No child SHOULD be able to understand the conflict in Israel/Palestine because no child should be exposed to religion before they reach an age where they're old enough to think for themselves without being indoctrinated.
    If people were forced to evaluate whether religion is good for their lives AFTER reaching the age of reason, religions would mostly die out. Most religions depend on getting children early to continue their cults.

Ever since 1948 Palestinians have been suffering injustice, apartiehed, and the most recent mass killing( genocide) by the so called IDF who describes them as animals and unworthy humans.

      @reasonableobjectivist3271 5 месяцев назад

      Yes: The closing of stores by the 24 companies you listed are, nevertheless, consistent with a vibrant overall economy. It's called "creative destruction". (Google the term.) As long as more jobs are being created than are being eliminated, (for equal or greater pay), losses at *individual* big companies tell us nothing about the strength of the overall economy.
      With wages rising, and more jobs being created than being destroyed, (look at those March 2024 job numbers!), there are plenty of new job opportunities for those workers displaced by--the closing of stores by the 24 companies you list.
      "Creative destruction", so called, is the free market's way of getting rid of or downsizing poorly run companies; or companies whose business models worked well in years past, but not now. Example: People now prefer to stream movies at home, rather than go to movie theaters; so of course Regal Cinemas will have to close a lot of under-patronized movie theaters. Or: More banking is done online these days, so of course banks lose money if they pay the overhead to maintain a large number of brick-and-mortar locations ("branches") that receive fewer walk-in customers.
      Did you consider that, for every individual store that gets closed by a big company, it is likely that the company's competitor, across-the-street or down-the-block, is offering better goods or services, or better prices? And that as those competitors grow, they can hire some of those folks who go laid off by the going-out-of-business store? It's called "Capitalism".
      Creative destruction = the free-market at work, eliminating the less-productive. You cannot have Capitalism without such ongoing creative destruction. You only listed 24 big companies downsizing, here. How many tens of thousands of companies are currently ADDING jobs??? (Hint: according to the March 2024 jobs report, there must be: a LOT of companies adding jobs.)
