i think its hard to trust the ‘information feed’ so i try not to latch on to stuff too much…
i’ve been to israel 7 times so i’m probably biased now… i’m what you might call a ‘jewish sympathiser’… and this is such an epic long thing and there are many perspectives. i feel quite sorry for israelis. they are mostly broken families and even though the children are now 4th generation maybe since the holocaust, there is a broken energy in the family and in the country.
it all just seems to be based in; ‘my ‘grandad hated your grandad’ and ‘my gods better than your god.’ so my answer would be forgive and forget lives you didn’t live, throw your daft old books in the fire, break bread, eat hummus.
if you’re patriotic and ‘anti-israel’ it might be worth remembering that england (apparently) played a large part in making israel and deciding its location.
if you look at the size of israel, its just a thin slither on some massive continent, its a 5th of the size of england and half of it is desert that no-one lives in. im not into religion, but israel is the only jewish country in the world and i think they should have a safe place to live. i feel sorry for evicted palestinians, but they were evicted a long time ago now and there are many muslim countries.
but in answer to the question raised by mr p0ly, the land isn’t owned by either since ‘ownership’ is a concept of the mind. ‘ownership’ is merely a fair sounding way of saying you’re ‘temporarily hoarding/non-sharing.’
