Something has been deeply wrong for a long time. I remember thinking as a small child how the Israel/Palestine conflict should have been resolved already if either side was actually interested in peace. That was 30 years ago and they're still going it at it like nothing has changed because they're both committed to an eternal blood feud.
The fact that America is involved or interested in that in any capacity whatsoever is all the evidence one needs that something is deeply wrong here. Why should my country care about some sand dunes halfway across the globe? They're not part of our empire, they don't have resources we're after, they're not our friends or neighbors. They're just a bunch of strangers in some foreign land making war with each other the same way they have been for generations. It's not our business yet for some reason we keep devoting astronomical amounts of national resources and efforts into meddling over there.
The only way it makes sense is if something has gone horribly wrong and our government is serving foreign interests rather than American ones, which means the government needs sorting out.

Well, I guess I can forgive you since you were 5 at the time. But both sides have to want peace for war to end. If one side wants war, there will be war. And the Zionist agenda is the genocide of the natives in "Greater Israel" which is Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, parts of Egypt, and parts of Saudi Arabia.
Surrendering to the sword at your neck doesn't get peace.
Well, you phrased it unclearly, which is what he was responding to.
You said if either side was interested in peace, it would be over. For the sake of argument, one side could want peace, and the other war...and you'd have war.
You don't need either side interested in peace, you need both sides. As long as even one actor is not behaving in good faith, it's very tricky to negotiate for peace.

Uh yeah, I figured that out back then. Way to miss the point.

That's fair.
