Best Of

I asked my question earlier in good faith. But there is a pissiness in the responses which does no credit to this forum really.

I have asked others elsewhere and have not received any sort of response bar, from one, a statement that Jews should go back to where they came from, which was darkly ironic really as well as ignorant. A 2-state solution would be the obvious and best answer but since Palestinians have turned this down 3 times and the demand now is for a Palestinian state instead of Israel with no Jews allowed to live in it, ethnic cleansing of and/or death for Jews would appear to be the preferred options of those demanding no Israel. This is not an option I support. But I fear that we are in a world where policy is increasingly being made by or for the benefit of those who think that the only thing wrong with the Holocaust was that it did not go far enough

I will bid you goodbye. Much like those choosing not to read newspapers which enrage them I choose not to spend time on a forum which feels increasingly hostile to those who do not accept its received opinions. Substituting books for social media is a good trade.

At the moment a two state solution is supported by the Palestinian authority but not by Israel.

I'd welcome that although I doubt it would solve everything and there'd be plenty of arguing/drama about where the borders get drawn.

It would feel like progress at least.

There is a 2 state solution of a different kind

2 Jewish States.

Israel original boundary next to the States of Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria.

A second designated State in Africa in parts of Ethiopia. An impoverished area that would benefit massively in Jewish business acumen and work ethic.

Big Jewish settlement already

There are around twenty times as many Ethiopian Jews living in Israel than there are in Ethiopia

Your plan is foolish

AIUI the vast majority of the Ethiopian Jews had no historical connection with the Land of Israel except their ancestors adopted religion. I also believe that the amount of 'Jewish DNA' or equivalent required to allow someone to register as a Jew and therefore settle in Israel is less, for example, that the Irish 'DNA' required for someone to get an Irish passport.

However, I'm prepared to be convinced I'm wrong in both those beliefs.

My DNA is 3% Neanderthal. What passport am I entitled to?

OT. Anyone who hasn't heard or seen this is missing something special. The News Agents. "Why MAGA Hates Britain"

The interviews with CPAC attendees a bit after that time point are bizarre. They are not connected to reality. It remains startling how much these MAGA faithful are not connected to reality. And yet some UK politicians (Farage, Truss) want to join them.

On current evidence reality is somewhat overrated.

This can't be right?

Of all the North Sea Licences granted under last Tory Government 2010 to 2024,the total amount of usable product would last the UK needs for under 40 days.

A quick calculation suggests that if new licences were granted today, by 2040 we could have obtained enough to last us until the 8th May 2026???

LOL

Greenpeace famously got their calaculation on the North Sea abandonment several orders of magnitude wrong!

Probably the same as I am!

We Neanderthals need our own country and protection from anti-Neanderthalism.
