    Aw man. My original comment was removed for incivility. Apologies to the mods. Thanks for not banning me on the spot. That’s appreciated.

    Gotta say it’s difficult to remain civil in the face of a genocide.

    What my original comment said, without the incivility, was:

    I hope Israel and it’s military end up at the international court at the Hague and go to jail for crimes against humanity and that the world finally tells Israel to back off and go back to the borders that were drawn in the 1967 UN Security Council resolution.

        I wasn’t banned. My comment was deleted because I wasn’t very civil. Lots of f-bombs and stuff.

        I think it’s alright to try to encourage a more civil discussion where we can argue by challenging each other’s arguments without using profanity.

      You are referring to the return of the “land for peace” idea from '67; but, Israel engaging in that peace process and returning said land (that was won by conquest during a defensive war in '48) merely resulted in the '69 war and '73 invasion. Since then, Arab leaders have completed a 180° about-face from their stated position of “no recognition, no peace, and no negotiations.” By beginning to normalize with Israel, they have also begun to remove the need for a “land for peace” process, in large part because of the land Israel has already given back.

        Ok well I might have gotten confused over what was signed over which year.

        What I was basically trying to say is there was an agreement at some point over the land borders. I might have been the original ones or some other ones later. In any case Israel needs to revert what they’ve done and give the land back until they go back to that border that was agreed upon.

        Although, I doubt that even that will bring peace to the region after what they’ve done.
