Well worth reading and I agree that the reaction in the US (and Europe) is repetitive and entirely predictable. But in your final analysis, you fall back on the similarly well-worn idea that it’s two people that hate each other, a vicious cycle of negative emotions. In this, you underplay the political history of occupation. For example, the Israeli towns around Gaza are built on the ruins of Palestinian villages which were ethnically cleansed in 1948. The Hamas men who attacked those towns are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of those displaced villagers. When I worked in a Gaza refugee camp, I realised that people still live in dwellings based on those villages; they literally have the same neighbours. The collective memory of their dispossession is incredibly powerful. This historic injustice, compounded by decades of occupation, humiliation and collective punishment, is the context we cannot ignore.
Interesting study on how political statements are barometers of average opinion. Biden was a hawk first few days after the Hamas attack - so were the majority of Americans. Thanks for ‘HAWK BIDEN’, so in first 3-days [October 7th-9th] emergency after HAMAS infiltrated Israel in every side, Biden - Harris got a lot of money and assuming from Jewish billionaire. Biden-Harris campaign says it abruptly raised US$71 million+ in the 3rd quarter “on par with the Q2 haul”, and in next Q4 maybe more rocketed number.
Adds it “has a historic nearly US$91 million in cash on hand, the highest total amassed by any Democratic candidate in history at this point in the cycle.” At least in mid July 2023, joint fundraising committees combined to raise US$72 million from April to the end of June. They have $77 million cash on hand in Mid July 2023. If new update says joint committee has US$91 million in cash on hand but Q3 raised US$71 million+ , arguably between July - October 2023, Biden - Harris campaign spend around US$57-60 million. In some point, Biden-Harris actually reach US$148-150 million but for some ads, between July - October must spend around US$57-60 million. https://prada.substack.com/p/breaking-biden-wednesday-scholz-visit
First: Israelis and Arabs are Semitic, this is not White versus Black.
Second: Gaza is CAPTURED territory, the people of Gaza are prisoners in their own homeland.
Third: Your comments are non sequitur to this conflict.
Conflict is based on the powerful versus the not as powerful. Conflict is based on an Owner of something and the non-Owner.
Question(s): Will either side be safe if the captured territory is returned? Why is this condition left unresolved for 50 years?
Don’t talk about White versus Black when there are situations in front of you in: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and both Sudans that are NOT grounded in race (refer to above).
A country or a portion of any country being held by another country will always be ground zero for violence. As long as we have this arrangement... there will be violence.
The only thing we view differently is the broad spectrum you throw out there as if all Whites and all Americans support what takes place in the Middle East.
I’m not in favor of governments over running countries, I was in support of East Timor versus Indonesia, South Sudan is not the solution, etc. It is not that Whites are the problem in the Middle East... Turks ruled over them for centuries just as the Turks did in what is now the Balkans.
The Balfour Declaration screwed up the Middle East and it’s never been corrected but the governments of the Middle East prevent it, too. The countries/governments are artificially created and propped up. I don’t remember the UAE being a country or Kuwait... or in-fact the entire peninsula was just that... a peninsula. How far back do we go? To the Hashemites? Heck, they ruled before the Turks but the Hashemites sold out and elected to call themselves Jordan and then Trans-Jordan, then they aligned with Egypt... it goes on and on.
I agree that the Middle East needs to be corrected but if you insist on blaming white or other elements then we get stuck in the blame game and who wins??? I have no idea who wins but I know who loses and you and I are on the same side of the line. Have a good day.

If you are replying to me, please point out anything you wrote that is remotely relevant to what I posted.

If you believe the Bible, they come from the same seed...skin tone has 0 bearing in this conflict.
