They’ve been fighting over that stinking little piece of dirt since before recorded history. Put a 10ft tall electrified fence around the whole place with razor wire top and bottom on the inside, give everyone an AK and 1000 rounds of ammo, come back in a year and see who’s left.
The rag heads STILL haven’t figured out that every time they attack Israel, they get their ass kicked. That lesson has to be retaught every 10-20 years or so because the rag heads are stupid.
Carter and Regan both effd up when they didn’t annihilate Iran when they took our embassy in ’79. They both should have turned that country into glass. We wouldn’t be having 1/10th the problems we’re having now world wide and at home if that had been done. Hard to believe Jimma was a boomer sub commander.
Jimma was never a sub skipper; at most he was an Engineering Department Head.
You sure ‘bout that? Sounds more like it came from “Philistine.” Not sure how it worked out thisaway, but the Greeks had a word Palaistine which came from an older Hebrew word Pelesheth, which literally means “Land of the Pelishti “(Philistines).
After invading the region a century or so after the Crucifixion, the Romans used Syria Palaestina to refer to what today we call the “Levant.” Had somethin to do with politics, a word association intended to dis the Judeans.
No other region on earth has attracted the killing, the hatred, the inhumanity of one tribe of cousins against another as the “holy land.”
And it all started with Sarah and her kid Isaac cheating Hagar and her boy Yshmael out of his right by primogeniture to inherit Abraham’s wealth. Kinda like how the elder twin brother Esau, who was born first, got shafted by Rebecca who disguised Jacob to fool the patriarch and get his blessing on his deathbed.
IMO the entire area needs to be razed, salted, walled in, and flooded.
Genesis is fulla stories about envy, duplicity, mistaken identity, cheating, lust, perversity, greed, revenge, intrigue . . .. Good read, tho. Sit down in a man cave with the NIV, a nice charcuterie board, a good bottle of Merlot, a fire in the hearth, and yer dawg and you’ll think you’re reading a Graham Green or an Agatha Christie or a Raymond Chandler.
Exodus is O.K., too. But both Numbers and Deuteronomy are two-pagers ‘cuz that’s about all you can handle before your lids close and your CPU shuts down.
Some really neat stuff in Leviticus . . . if you like diggin for pearls amongst the detritus. And Revelation is the Biblical version of Astounding Stories magazine.
70 AD. God punished them severely for killing the Messiah. Kicked them out for 2000 years.

Whatever you do, guys, don’t throw God into the midst of this…
There’s a reason the Jews are spat upon, beat upon, and just generally all-around deeply hated, in spite of being His Chosen People.
I leave it as an exercise to the student to figure out where in the New Testament this proof is… and use the KJV, please, as it is the most correctly translated from Hebrew. (Hint: Matthew)
So what does Palestine mean then? Invade?
Just finished a fascinating book called O Jerusalem. It was a very detailed history from late ‘47 to June ‘48 about the creation of Israel. A dear fellow book reader friend bought it for me. Some things will piss you off but I highly recommend it if you like history.
