If you look back, Israel and Palestine have an extremely turbulent history that has caused devastation on both sides. If you were to ask if they will ever be at peace, based on the past, the answer would be no. Time and time again Israel and Palestine have gone back and forth, leaving a path of destruction and asking for other countries to help pick up the pieces.
At the Gaza Reconstruction Conference in Cairo, $5.4 billion was raised to aid in rebuilding the Gaza strip…again. Interestingly enough, no one from Israel attended. According to the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, Egyptian officials feared many Arab states would have canceled if they knew an Israeli attended. Want to know how much the U.S. pledged? $400 million by the year’s end.
The U.S. has a long-standing history of giving money to Israel, since WWII more than $121 billion has been given. Since the mid 1990s, the U.S. has given Palestine $5 billion dollars…not including the most recent pledge.
As we give them our money, what is the guarantee that what happened will not happen again next week? Next year? Many countries that participated in the conference pushed for peace talks to continue and for a long-standing peace to take place. There were some concerned that Israel and Palestine’s stand off will not last. They will then be asked again to donate money to rebuild a city that these two combatant countries destroyed.
America and various countries can plea for a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine, but if they do not want to keep it then should we continue to give them money to rebuild their cities? Will Israel and Palestine ever be able to break the cycle?

I immediately see the failure mechanism in your picture above, Corporal. Your contact has inappropriately placed the Porker unit on an Eagle. Let your peeps at PIA know that if they place the device on a Beagle, the Porker "missile" will be transformed into a Ham "hittile". Ask a brown-shoe to explain it, if necessary. LMAO...

The Aardvark would have been an EXCELLENT platform choice... They ("them" who are not "us") NEVER listen to us ("we" who are not "they").

Someday Israel and Palestine WILL get along. I SO look forward to that day when unicorns fart rainbows that smell like skittles.

No one wants to think that skittles come from unicorn farts.. but, alas, the truth isn't always pleasant... I have a dog and a cat.. they only get along as long as someone is here to watch them.. but when I leave I see my dog chasing my cat and my cat trying to fight the dog when he is asleep.. sound familiar to any one..

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict explained
This is an important video explaining the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Must watch. This video is not mine but I didn't find it titled in English.
I still have never found a more simple way to explain the problem in the Middle East better than this video.

Gotta love the indisputable logic of Dennis Prager. How anyone can take the side of the Palestinians over the Israelis boggles the mind; just sheer ignorance.

Former President of Iran and others can't stomach this truth since it affects their powerbase and they lose the hate to keep their groups together for a common fight to distract their popluations to from the real ugly truth of their messed up countries or terrorist groups!
