And the blockades wouldn't have happened if the Palestinian people didn't put Hamas in power after, in attempts at peace and a two state solution, Israel demilitarized Gaza. And the wall wouldn't have happened without the suicide bus bombings. I mean we can carry this back. At a minimum we can't stop until WWI. And that's really just a minimum. The crusades would be another point to carry it back to but that seems real far.

It's 500,000 liters. You don't just get to say that doesn't matter. Especially when the fuel the UN brought in was also stolen by Hamas. If Hamas is stealing and hoarding all the fuel, then they do carry the blame for the lack of fuel. What good is it doing anyone if everything there will just be stolen by Hamas and then used for further attacks?
I didn't say Palestine doesn't have a right to exist. There have been many opportunities for it to exist. However, a large enough portion of the population has decided Israel does not have a right to exist that they accept no compromise. You could look up the actual history, but that's asking too much I suppose.
You act like the situation is so simple to deal with. But I wonder how would you deal with having people right next to you that insist you need to die. And regularly attack you, your friends, and family.
Threatening UN members? How? Do you mean UN workers? Because Israel certainly isn't walking around the UN threatening member states.
And people aren't talking about the hostages, because they were practically dead the moment they were taken in to Gaza during the third largest terrorist attack in history.
There has never been a state of Palestine. In world history. And that region has never been very stable. With populations or governments.
Counting it towards to number of people is a little silly. Checking how long a generator can run off of a liter of fuel makes much more sense.
On top of that, not only are they hoarding, but they are also stealing what comes in.
How is it bad for business?
I should've read the article instead of just glancing. I got it into my head that he made it into the country and was in his way out.
And, honestly, I forgot about customs. Yeah nothing to do but notify someone at that point. Because on my last few flights, even international, for whatever reason they've just pushed me on through. I look that fucking boring.
I don't stash guns in my briefcase so this wouldn't be an issue, but let us suppose I did and it was. Then if I made it to Hong Kong, I'd probably dismantle it, dispose of the pieces in separate places, and find out how to safely dispose of the bullets (because I'd hate to trash them and they get tossed into an incinerator and go off or something absurd like that).
I definitely wouldn't try to fly with it back, but I just don't know that I could trust authorities to act right.
That's what escrow is for
Are you asking about the country or the policy of apartheid?
Edit to add more detail
Are you asking if I think that the country had a right to exist or if it should have been dissolved entirely and started from scratch?
Are you asking if I think all of the Afrikaners should have left and left only natives? Are you asking if the policy should have been permitted?
