    "You see this shit!? This is why we kicked them out. " --Spain

    Realistically I’m not a proponent of genocide or exile against anyone (and no one should be!), but I really do feel like the world would have done Israel a true favor by nipping this Middle Eastern paranoid tribal victimhood thing in the bud back in the 90s or earlier. This is a fine example of how terroristic activity has nothing at all to do with a religious system.

      It should have been nipped in the bud in 1947. The UK should have made a point of fighting the Israeli terrorists and setting up a proper post colonial government like they did everywhere else. But this was the desired outcome by people in power at the time. Their last grasp at colonialism and a giant middle finger to the locals who were taking the empire a part bit by bit every year at that point.
