@shadihamid It doesn't offend me. But the simple fact that nothing short of the dissolution of Israel will quench Arab pain is why so many are dying every day. Israel exists. It isn't going to vanish, and bluntly, the Arab states don't have the power to destroy it. So the future looks like

@briebriejoy No one I know says "Arabs" are intrinsically violent. Palestinians, otoh, have been brought up in a culture that celebrates attacking Jews. We saw ordinary Gazans follow behind the Hamas attackers on 10/7...and they weren't there to give first aid.
