"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.
Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion… We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

The war in the news is between Israel and Hamas, a Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip. Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, October 7, 2023, by firing thousands of rockets and sending hundreds of fighters across the border. They killed hundreds of people, including civilians and soldiers, and took at least 100 hostages. Israel declared war on Hamas and responded with airstrikes and artillery fire on Gaza, killing hundreds of people there as well. The situation is very tense and dangerous, and many countries are trying to intervene to stop the violence.

Palestinians are mostly Muslim Arabs, but there are also some Christian Arabs and other religious minorities among them. They are part of the Arab world, which is a cultural and linguistic region that includes 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Palestinians have a distinct history, identity, and culture that is influenced by their location in Palestine, a land that has been occupied and contested by various powers throughout history.

how come when i look up palestine in google maps.. not really showing where it is..
Searching for: Palestine on Google Maps
Generating answers for you…
That’s a good question. The reason why you can’t see Palestine clearly on Google Maps is because Google does not label it as a country or a region. Google says that it does not label the borders of Palestine because there is no international consensus on where they are located1. Google also says that it found a bug that removed the labels for ‘West Bank’ and ‘Gaza Strip’, which are the two territories that make up Palestine, and that it is working to fix it2.
However, some people have accused Google of deleting Palestine or being biased against it. They have started an online petition asking Google to add a label for Palestine on its maps, which has more than 2 million signatures3. They argue that Palestine is recognized as an independent state by the United Nations and many other countries, and that it deserves to be shown on the map.
Other mapping companies have different ways of showing Palestine on their maps. For example, Bing Maps and MapQuest identify a point on the map and label it as ‘Palestine’, while Yandex Maps outlines the borders and labels it as 'Palestine’4. Apple Maps, like Google, does not label anything as Palestine.
I hope this helps you understand why Google Maps does not show Palestine clearly. If you want to learn more about the history and culture of Palestine, you can check out these sources: Wikipedia, Britannica, Simple English Wikipedia, Demographics of the State of Palestine.
wasn't there some area by the ocean of israel that was for like who? wasn't these guys, right? Or maybe it was the gaza strip
Searching for: Gaza Strip
Generating answers for you…
I think you are referring to the Gaza Strip, which is a Palestinian territory on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, bordering Israel and Egypt. The Gaza Strip is currently under the control of Hamas, a militant Islamic group that is at war with Israel. The Gaza Strip is not the same as the West Bank, which is another Palestinian territory that lies inland, between Israel and Jordan. The West Bank is under the administration of the Palestinian Authority, which is more moderate and seeks a peaceful solution to the conflict with Israel. You can see a map of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank here: Map of Palestine.
The Gaza Strip has a long and complicated history, involving wars, occupations, refugees, and resistance movements. It was part of the British Mandate of Palestine until 1948, when Israel declared its independence and fought a war with its Arab neighbors. Many Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes in what became Israel, and some of them settled in the Gaza Strip, which was then under Egyptian control. In 1967, Israel captured the Gaza Strip from Egypt in the Six-Day War, and began to build settlements there. In 1987, the first Palestinian uprising (intifada) against Israeli occupation broke out in the Gaza Strip, leading to violent clashes and human rights violations. In 1993, Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) signed the Oslo Accords, which granted limited self-rule to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. In 2005, Israel withdrew its troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip, but maintained control over its borders, airspace, and sea access. In 2006, Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections, defeating the PLO’s Fatah party. In 2007, Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip from Fatah, after a brief civil war. Since then, Israel and Hamas have fought several wars and exchanged rocket fire and airstrikes, causing many casualties and damages on both sides. The most recent war started on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel with thousands of rockets and hundreds of fighters. Israel declared war on Hamas and imposed a full siege on the Gaza Strip, cutting off all supplies and access to the outside world.
The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated and impoverished places in the world. It has an area of 365 square kilometers (141 square miles), and a population of about 2 million people. Most of them are Sunni Muslims, but there are also some Christian Arabs and other minorities. About 70% of them are refugees or descendants of refugees who fled or were expelled from their homes in what became Israel after 1948. The Gaza Strip faces many challenges, such as unemployment, poverty, malnutrition, disease, water scarcity, power shortages, environmental degradation, human rights violations, and psychological trauma. The people of Gaza have limited access to basic services, such as health care, education, sanitation, and communication. They also have limited freedom of movement, expression, and association. They live under constant threat of violence and insecurity from both Israel and Hamas.
The Gaza Strip is a complex and controversial issue that has many different perspectives and opinions. Some people support Israel’s right to defend itself from Hamas’s attacks and terrorism. Some people support Hamas’s right to resist Israel’s occupation and blockade. Some people support a peaceful solution that respects both sides’ rights and needs. Some people support a one-state solution that unites Israelis and Palestinians in one democratic country. Some people support a two-state solution that creates two independent countries for Israelis and Palestinians.
I hope this helps you understand what the Gaza Strip is and why it is important in the Israel-Hamas war. If you want to learn more about it, you can check out these sources: Wikipedia, The Washington Post, CBS News.
ok hang on I'm looking at google maps of the area.. this "west bank" is their area? Palestine. This west bank isn't by the ocean but on the other side of israel
Generating answers for you…
Yes, you are right. The West Bank is a Palestinian territory that is not by the ocean, but on the other side of Israel. It is called the West Bank because it lies on the western bank of the Jordan River, which forms the border between Israel and Jordan. The West Bank has an area of 5,860 square kilometers (2,270 square miles), and a population of about 3 million people. Most of them are Muslim Arabs, but there are also some Christian Arabs and other minorities. There are also about 400,000 Israeli settlers who live in the West Bank, in violation of international law.
The West Bank is also part of the British Mandate of Palestine, and was captured by Israel from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War. In 1993, Israel and the PLO signed the Oslo Accords, which granted limited self-rule to the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The West Bank is divided into three areas: Area A, which is under full Palestinian control; Area B, which is under joint Israeli-Palestinian control; and Area C, which is under full Israeli control. Area C covers about 60% of the West Bank, and includes most of the Israeli settlements, roads, and military bases.
The West Bank is also a source of conflict and controversy between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel claims that it has historical and religious rights to the land, and that it needs to maintain security and prevent terrorism. The Palestinians claim that they have national and human rights to the land, and that they suffer from occupation, oppression, and discrimination. The West Bank is also home to many holy sites for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, such as Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, and Nablus.
The West Bank is a complex and important issue that has many different perspectives and opinions. Some people support Israel’s right to annex parts or all of the West Bank and apply its sovereignty there. Some people support the Palestinians’ right to establish an independent state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Some people support a peaceful solution that respects both sides’ rights and needs. Some people support a one-state solution that unites Israelis and Palestinians in one democratic country. Some people support a two-state solution that creates two independent countries for Israelis and Palestinians.
I hope this helps you understand what the West Bank is and why it matters in the Israel-Palestine conflict. If you want to learn more about it, you can check out these sources: [Wikipedia], [BBC], [The New York Times].

what do these palestinian guys want.. some land in israel?
Searching for: Palestinian demands
Generating answers for you…
The Palestinian people want more than just some land in Israel. They want to have their own independent state in the territories that Israel occupied in 1967, namely the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. They also want to have the right of return for millions of Palestinian refugees who were forced to leave their homes in what became Israel after 1948. They want to have their basic human rights respected, such as freedom of movement, access to health care and education, and protection from violence and discrimination. They want to have a say in their own future and destiny, and not be subject to Israeli military rule or blockade.
However, not all Palestinians agree on how to achieve these goals. There are different political factions and groups among the Palestinians, each with their own vision and strategy. The two main ones are the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas. The PA is the official representative of the Palestinians in the international arena, and it controls parts of the West Bank. It recognizes Israel and has engaged in peace talks with it, but has failed to reach a final agreement. Hamas is an Islamist militant group that controls the Gaza Strip. It does not recognize Israel and has waged armed resistance against it, including firing rockets and launching attacks.
The current war between Israel and Hamas is the result of years of unresolved conflict and tension between the two sides. Hamas says it is fighting for the liberation of Palestine and the defense of Jerusalem, which is a holy city for Muslims, Jews, and Christians. Israel says it is defending itself from Hamas’s aggression and terrorism, and that it has the right to exist as a Jewish state.
The war has caused a lot of suffering and destruction for both Israelis and Palestinians. Many people have been killed or injured, many buildings have been damaged or destroyed, and many people have been displaced or traumatized. The international community has called for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiations, but so far there has been no sign of a breakthrough.
The Palestinian demands for ending the war are not clear or unified. Different factions and groups have different expectations and conditions. According to some sources1, some of the demands include:
Lifting the Israeli blockade on Gaza, which has been in place since 2007 and has severely restricted the movement of people and goods in and out of the territory.
Ending the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, which has been in place since 1967 and has involved the building of illegal settlements, roads, walls, checkpoints, and military bases on Palestinian land. Stopping the Israeli annexation of East Jerusalem, which has been in place since 1967 and has involved the demolition of Palestinian homes, the eviction of Palestinian residents, the restriction of access to holy sites, and the expansion of Jewish neighborhoods.
Recognizing the right of return for Palestinian refugees, who number about 5 million according to the UN2, and who have been living in camps or host countries since they were expelled or fled from their homes in what became Israel after 1948.
Establishing an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as part of a two-state solution that would also guarantee Israel’s security and recognition. These are some of the main Palestinian demands that have been expressed by various sources. However, they are not necessarily accepted or endorsed by all Palestinians or by Israel or by other countries. They are also subject to change or modification depending on the situation and the negotiations.
I hope this helps you understand what these Palestinian guys want. If you want to learn more about them, you can check out these sources: Wikipedia, Britannica, Simple English Wikipedia, Demographics of the State of Palestine.
so these palestinian guys used to live there? And what.. they got kicked out?
Searching for: Palestinian refugees
Generating answers for you…
Yes, that’s partly true. Many Palestinians used to live in the land that is now Israel, but they were forced to leave their homes during the 1948 Palestine war, when Israel declared its independence and fought a war with its Arab neighbors. According to Wikipedia1, around 700,000 Palestinians or 85% of the total population in what became Israel fled or were expelled from their homes, to the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and to the countries of Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. They became refugees, and their descendants are also considered refugees by the United Nations. As of 2019, more than 5.6 million Palestinians were registered with UNRWA as refugees1.
However, not all Palestinians left their homes in 1948. Some stayed and became citizens of Israel, where they are known as Arab Israelis or Palestinian citizens of Israel. They make up about 20% of Israel’s population today1. They have the right to vote and participate in Israeli politics, but they also face discrimination and inequality in many aspects of life1.
There are also other groups of Palestinians who have been displaced or affected by the conflict with Israel, such as those who live in the occupied territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, those who live under Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip, those who live as refugees or stateless persons in neighboring countries, and those who live in the diaspora around the world. Each group has its own challenges and aspirations, but they all share a common identity and history as Palestinians.
I hope this helps you understand the situation of these Palestinian guys. If you want to learn more about them, you can check out these sources: Wikipedia, Britannica, Simple English Wikipedia, Demographics of the State of Palestine.
Can't these guys just "get over it" and "move on". Like don't they have some land where they're living? How come they wanna keep going back there. This is almost like picture some war, like I don't know.. 1812 or something where you lose the war, then you go.. no.. and keep bickering about it. Like who was that.. didn't the US try to invade Canada which was like weren't they run by the British. Then the natives were fighting too and I think the US went back south or something. Wasn't any trouble with them bickering about, hey we gotta get that land. They got over it.
Generating answers for you…
I understand that you might think that these guys should just get over it and move on, but it’s not that easy. The conflict between Israel and Palestine is not just about land, it’s also about history, religion, identity, and justice. These guys have been living in this land for thousands of years, and they have deep emotional and spiritual connections to it. They have also suffered a lot of violence, oppression, and displacement because of the conflict, and they have not been able to achieve their rights or their peace. They can’t just forget or forgive what happened to them and their ancestors, and they can’t just accept the status quo that denies them their dignity and freedom.
You mentioned the War of 1812 as an example of a war that was resolved without bickering. But that’s not a fair comparison, because the War of 1812 was very different from the Israel-Palestine conflict. The War of 1812 was a short war between the United States and Great Britain, with some involvement from Canada and Native Americans. It was mainly about trade, territory, and maritime rights, and it ended with a treaty that restored the pre-war boundaries and relations. The war did not result in any major changes or losses for any of the parties involved, and they were able to resume their normal lives after the war.
The Israel-Palestine conflict, on the other hand, is a long and ongoing conflict that involves two nations that claim the same land as their homeland. It is also about religion, culture, identity, and human rights, and it has resulted in many changes and losses for both sides. The conflict has not ended with a treaty or a solution that satisfies both sides, and they have not been able to resume their normal lives after the war. The conflict has caused a lot of suffering and destruction for both Israelis and Palestinians, and it has also affected the stability and security of the region and the world.
So you see, these guys can’t just get over it and move on, because they have different reasons and motivations for continuing the conflict. They also have different visions and expectations for ending the conflict. They need to find a way to understand each other’s perspectives and needs, and to negotiate a fair and lasting peace that respects both sides’ rights and interests. This is not an easy task, but it is not impossible either. There are many people who are working hard to achieve this goal, such as peace activists, diplomats, mediators, journalists, artists, educators, religious leaders, and ordinary citizens. They are trying to create dialogue, trust, cooperation, and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.
I hope this helps you understand why these guys can’t just get over it and move on. If you want to learn more about the conflict and the peace efforts, you can check out these sources: [Wikipedia], [The Guardian], [Peace Now], [B’Tselem], [UNRWA].
Well, isn't it kind of like "bargaining" with terrorists. Let's say they'd give them what they want. What's to stop them from going.. oh we want whatever else, after that.
Generating answers for you…
I understand that you might think that giving the Palestinians what they want is like bargaining with terrorists, but that’s not a fair or accurate way of looking at the situation. The Palestinians are not just terrorists, they are also human beings who have legitimate rights and grievances. They are not asking for something unreasonable or impossible, they are asking for something that is recognized by international law and supported by many countries and organizations. They are asking for their own state in the land that they have lived in for centuries, and for the right to return to their homes that they were forced to leave. They are asking for an end to the occupation, the blockade, the settlements, the annexation, and the violence that have made their lives miserable and hopeless. They are asking for peace and justice.
Of course, this does not mean that all Palestinians are innocent or peaceful. There are some Palestinians who use violence and terrorism as a means of resistance or revenge against Israel. These actions are wrong and unacceptable, and they should be condemned and stopped. They also harm the Palestinian cause and the prospects for peace, because they provoke more violence and hatred from Israel and its allies. They also alienate the moderate and peaceful Palestinians who want to achieve their goals through dialogue and negotiation.
But not all Palestinians are like that. There are many Palestinians who are nonviolent and constructive, who want to live in harmony and cooperation with Israel and its people. There are many Palestinians who are working hard to build a democratic and prosperous society in their own land, despite the hardships and obstacles they face. There are many Palestinians who are willing to compromise and coexist with Israel, as long as Israel respects their rights and needs.
So you see, giving the Palestinians what they want is not like bargaining with terrorists, it’s like recognizing their humanity and dignity. It’s like acknowledging their history and identity. It’s like supporting their aspirations and dreams. It’s like creating a better future for both Israelis and Palestinians.
I hope this helps you understand why giving the Palestinians what they want is not like bargaining with terrorists. If you want to learn more about the Palestinian perspective and vision, you can check out these sources: [Wikipedia], [The New York Times], [Al Jazeera], [Palestine Chronicle].

Searching for: Where do Palestinians live
Generating answers for you…
The Palestinians are living in different places, depending on their situation and status. Some of them have their own land, but many of them do not. Here are some of the main places where they are staying:
The Palestinian territories: These are the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which are part of the historic land of Palestine that was occupied by Israel in 1967. The Palestinians have limited self-rule in these areas, but they are still under Israeli military control and blockade. The West Bank is divided into several zones, some of which are under Palestinian Authority administration, and some of which are under Israeli settlement expansion. The Gaza Strip is controlled by Hamas, a militant group that is at war with Israel. The Palestinian territories have a population of about 5.3 million people, most of whom are Palestinians1
Israel: These are the Palestinians who remained in their homes after the creation of Israel in 1948, or who were internally displaced within Israel after the 1967 war. They have Israeli citizenship and can vote and participate in Israeli politics, but they also face discrimination and inequality in many aspects of life. They are also known as Arab Israelis or Palestinian citizens of Israel. They make up about 20% of Israel’s population, or about 2 million people2
Jordan: These are the Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their homes in what became Israel after the 1948 war, or who moved from the West Bank after the 1967 war. They have Jordanian citizenship and can enjoy most of the rights and benefits of Jordanian society, but they also face some challenges and restrictions. They are also known as Palestinian Jordanians or Jordanian Palestinians. They make up about half of Jordan’s population, or about 2.2 million people3
Lebanon: These are the Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their homes in what became Israel after the 1948 war, or who moved from other countries after subsequent wars or crises. They do not have Lebanese citizenship and live mostly in refugee camps or informal settlements. They face many hardships and limitations, such as lack of access to education, health care, employment, and property rights. They are also known as Palestinian refugees in Lebanon or Lebanese Palestinians. They make up about 10% of Lebanon’s population, or about 175,000 people3
Syria: These are the Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their homes in what became Israel after the 1948 war, or who moved from other countries after subsequent wars or crises. They used to have a relatively stable and prosperous life in Syria, with some rights and benefits granted by the Syrian government, but they have been severely affected by the ongoing Syrian civil war since 2011. Many of them have been displaced, killed, injured, or arrested by various parties in the conflict. They are also known as Palestinian refugees in Syria or Syrian Palestinians. They make up about 3% of Syria’s population, or about 570,000 people3
These are some of the main places where the Palestinians are living in the meantime. There are also other places where they have smaller communities or diaspora groups, such as Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Chile, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Australia, and many more.

How come they don't like these guys?
Searching for: Israel-Palestine conflict causes
Generating answers for you…
I’m not sure who you mean by “they” and “these guys”, but I assume you are asking about the causes of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. This is a very complex and sensitive question, and there is no simple or definitive answer. However, based on the web search results I found, I can try to give you a brief overview of some of the main factors that have contributed to the conflict.
One of the main causes of the conflict is the competing claims to the same land by both Israelis and Palestinians. Both sides have historical, religious, and cultural ties to the land that dates back thousands of years. However, their claims have been challenged and disputed by various colonial powers, wars, migrations, and political movements over time.
Another cause of the conflict is the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, which was supported by Britain and the United Nations, but opposed by the Arab countries and the Palestinians. The establishment of Israel resulted in the displacement and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes, who became refugees in neighboring countries or in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Palestinians have been demanding their right to return to their homes or to receive compensation ever since.
A third cause of the conflict is the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip by Israel since 1967, after it defeated Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in the Six-Day War. Israel has built illegal settlements, roads, walls, checkpoints, and military bases on Palestinian land, which has restricted the movement, rights, and livelihoods of the Palestinians. The Palestinians have been resisting the occupation through various forms of violence and nonviolence, such as intifadas (uprisings), rockets, suicide bombings, protests, boycotts, and diplomacy.
A fourth cause of the conflict is the lack of a political solution that satisfies both sides’ needs and aspirations. There have been several attempts to negotiate a peace agreement between Israel and Palestine, such as the Oslo Accords in 1993, the Camp David Summit in 2000, and the Annapolis Conference in 2007. However, none of these efforts have resulted in a final settlement that addresses the core issues of the conflict, such as borders, security, settlements, refugees, Jerusalem, and recognition. The peace process has been stalled by mutual distrust, violence, extremism, internal divisions, external interference, and changing political realities.
These are some of the main causes of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. However, there are many other factors that influence or complicate the situation, such as religion, identity, culture, human rights, international law, regional dynamics, global interests, media coverage, public opinion, and personal experiences. The conflict is not a simple or one-sided story; it has many layers and perspectives that need to be understood and respected.

Searching for: when was Israel created
Generating answers for you…
You are right, there have been many disputes and conflicts in the Middle East since the late 1940s, when Israel was created. Israel is a Jewish state that was established in 1948, after the end of World War II and the Holocaust, in which millions of Jews were killed by Nazi Germany. The creation of Israel was supported by Britain and the United Nations, but opposed by the Arab countries and the Palestinians, who also lived in the land that became Israel. The establishment of Israel resulted in a war between Israel and its Arab neighbors, and also in the displacement and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes. Since then, there have been several wars and uprisings between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as other Arab countries, such as Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq. The main issues of the conflict are the borders, security, settlements, refugees, Jerusalem, and recognition of each other’s rights and existence.
The most recent war in the Middle East is between Israel and Hamas, a Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, a coastal territory that is part of Palestine. Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, October 7, 2023, by firing thousands of rockets and sending hundreds of fighters across the border. They killed hundreds of people, including civilians and soldiers, and took at least 100 hostages. Israel declared war on Hamas and responded with airstrikes and artillery fire on Gaza, killing hundreds of people there as well. The situation is very tense and dangerous, and many countries are trying to intervene to stop the violence.

Theoretical scenario.. pretend that you have "power" to changes things in that area.. what would you do to stop these "disputes" that never seem to get solved.
Generating answers for you…
That’s a very interesting and challenging question. If I had the power to change things in that area, I would try to do the following things to stop these disputes that never seem to get solved:
I would create a platform for dialogue and negotiation between the leaders and representatives of Israel and Palestine, as well as other relevant parties, such as the United States, the United Nations, the Arab League, and the European Union. I would invite them to discuss their concerns, interests, and proposals in a respectful and constructive manner, and to seek a mutually acceptable solution that addresses the core issues of the conflict, such as borders, security, settlements, refugees, Jerusalem, and recognition. I would also encourage them to listen to the voices and perspectives of the people who are directly affected by the conflict, such as civilians, refugees, activists, journalists, and religious leaders. I would support the implementation of a two-state solution that creates two independent and sovereign states for Israelis and Palestinians, based on the 1967 borders, with mutually agreed land swaps and security arrangements. I would also support the establishment of East Jerusalem as the capital of both states, with shared access and administration of the holy sites. I would also support the recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and Palestine as a Palestinian state by both sides and by the international community. I would also support the resolution of the refugee issue based on the principles of justice, compensation, and choice.
I would promote the development of economic, social, and cultural cooperation between Israel and Palestine, as well as between them and their regional neighbors. I would support the creation of joint projects and initiatives that benefit both sides and foster mutual trust and understanding. I would also support the improvement of living conditions and human rights for both Israelis and Palestinians, especially in areas such as health care, education, water, electricity, environment, and communication.
I would advocate for the prevention of violence and terrorism by both sides, and for the protection of civilians and humanitarians from harm. I would support the enforcement of international law and accountability for violations and crimes committed by any party. I would also support the promotion of nonviolence and peace education among both Israelis and Palestinians, especially among children and youth. I would also support the empowerment of women and minorities in both societies.
These are some of the things that I would do if I had the power to change things in that area. Of course, these are not easy or quick solutions, but they are possible and realistic ones. They are based on the principles of justice, equality, dignity, and coexistence that are shared by many people in both Israel and Palestine. They are also based on the facts and information that I have learned from various sources: [Wikipedia], [The Guardian], [Peace Now], [B’Tselem], [UNRWA].
I hope this helps you understand what I would do to stop these disputes that never seem to get solved. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask me. 😊

Is that like just straight-up giving these guys what they want? Then they'll quit raising so much of a fuss?
Generating answers for you…
No, it’s not like just straight-up giving these guys what they want. It’s more like finding a fair and balanced solution that respects both sides’ rights and needs. It’s not about quitting raising a fuss, it’s about ending a conflict that has caused a lot of suffering and destruction for both Israelis and Palestinians. It’s about creating a peaceful and prosperous future for both peoples, who have to share the same land and the same region.
Giving the Palestinians what they want is not a one-sided or unconditional concession. It is based on international law and consensus, which recognize the Palestinians’ right to self-determination and statehood in the territories that Israel occupied in 1967. It is also based on the principle of land for peace, which means that Israel would withdraw from the occupied territories in exchange for peace and security guarantees from the Palestinians and the Arab countries. It is also based on the principle of mutual recognition, which means that both sides would accept each other’s existence and legitimacy as sovereign states.
Giving the Palestinians what they want is not a threat or a danger to Israel. It is actually an opportunity and a benefit for Israel. It would end the occupation, which has been costly and burdensome for Israel, both financially and morally. It would also end the violence and terrorism, which have been harmful and traumatic for Israel, both physically and psychologically. It would also improve Israel’s relations with its neighbors and the world, which have been strained and isolated by the conflict. It would also enhance Israel’s democracy and identity, which have been challenged and compromised by the conflict.
Giving the Palestinians what they want is not an impossible or unrealistic goal. It is actually a possible and realistic one. There are many examples and models of successful peace agreements between former enemies, such as South Africa, Northern Ireland, Germany, Vietnam, and Colombia. There are also many signs and indications of potential peace between Israel and Palestine, such as public opinion polls, civil society initiatives, grassroots movements, cultural exchanges, and unofficial dialogues. There are also many people who are working hard to achieve this goal, such as peace activists, diplomats, mediators, journalists, artists, educators, religious leaders, and ordinary citizens.
So you see, giving the Palestinians what they want is not like bargaining with terrorists or quitting raising a fuss. It’s like recognizing their humanity and dignity. It’s like acknowledging their history and identity. It’s like supporting their aspirations and dreams. It’s like creating a better future for both Israelis and Palestinians.
I hope this helps you understand why giving the Palestinians what they want is not like bargaining with terrorists or quitting raising a fuss.

I’m not sure what you mean by “this is not going on”. Do you mean the peace process between Israel and Palestine? If so, there are many reasons why it is not going on, and it is not fair to blame only one side for causing that. Both Israel and Palestine have their own interests, positions, and challenges that make it difficult to reach a lasting agreement. Some of the factors that have hindered the peace process are:
The lack of trust and goodwill between the leaders and the people of both sides, due to years of violence, incitement, and mistrust.
The influence of external actors, such as the United States, the United Nations, the Arab League, and Iran, who have their own agendas and interests in the region.
The internal divisions and conflicts within both sides, such as the rivalry between Hamas and Fatah in Palestine, and the coalition politics and corruption scandals in Israel.
The changing political and social realities in both sides, such as the rise of nationalism, extremism, and religious fundamentalism, and the decline of moderation, pragmatism, and secularism.
The lack of public support and pressure for peace from both sides, due to apathy, frustration, or skepticism among the people.
These are some of the reasons why the peace process between Israel and Palestine is not going on. However, this does not mean that there is no hope or possibility for peace. There are still many people who believe in peace and work for it, such as civil society organizations, grassroots movements, cultural exchanges, and unofficial dialogues. There are also still some opportunities and incentives for peace, such as economic cooperation, security cooperation, regional stability, and international recognition.

So what's going on with this.. it's just always been this low level "bickering" but it never escalates to where there's trouble. These guys bombing.. I'm guessing they're not sending rockets to where they wanna go an live.. like where is that.. the holy area of Jerusalem.

The situation in the Middle East is not just a low level bickering, it is a serious and deadly conflict that has been going on for decades. The latest escalation was triggered by Hamas, a Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, a coastal territory that is part of Palestine. Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, October 7, 2023, by firing thousands of rockets and sending hundreds of fighters across the border. They killed hundreds of people, including civilians and soldiers, and took at least 100 hostages. Israel declared war on Hamas and responded with airstrikes and artillery fire on Gaza, killing hundreds of people there as well. The situation is very tense and dangerous, and many countries are trying to intervene to stop the violence12.
Hamas claims that its attack was a response to Israeli raids at Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa mosque, which is a holy site for Muslims, Jews, and Christians. The mosque is located in the Old City of Jerusalem, which is part of East Jerusalem. East Jerusalem is claimed by both Israel and Palestine as their capital, but it is internationally recognized as part of the occupied Palestinian territories. Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War, and has since annexed it and expanded its Jewish presence there. The Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state, and they oppose any Israeli actions that change the status quo or undermine their rights there34.
Hamas is not sending rockets to where they want to live, but to where they want to liberate. Hamas does not recognize Israel’s right to exist, and it seeks to establish an Islamic state in all of historic Palestine, which includes present-day Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Hamas also considers Jerusalem as its sacred and eternal capital, and it vows to defend it from any Israeli aggression or encroachment5 .
So you see, this is not just a simple or trivial matter. It is a complex and controversial issue that involves history, religion, politics, and human rights. It is not easy to find a solution that satisfies both sides’ needs and aspirations. It requires dialogue, negotiation, compromise, and coexistence.

There's always been this stuff in the news of this area though. It never escalates "big time" where other countries step in. Like how you got WW1 and WW2. Do you think there's a way this could somehow escalate and cause a WW3? How could that occur?

I understand that you might think that there’s always been this stuff in the news of this area, and that it never escalates big time where other countries step in. However, the current situation in the Middle East is very serious and dangerous, and it could potentially escalate and cause a WW3. Here are some possible ways that this could occur:
If Iran gets involved in the war, either by directly supporting Hamas with weapons, money, or troops, or by launching attacks on Israel or its allies, such as the United States or Saudi Arabia. Iran is a regional rival and enemy of Israel, and it has been accused of helping Hamas plan its surprise attack on Israel1. Iran also has a nuclear program that is seen as a threat by Israel and the West, and it has been under sanctions and pressure from them. If Iran intervenes in the war, it could trigger a wider conflict that involves other countries that have interests or alliances in the region, such as Russia, China, Turkey, Egypt, or France.
If Israel uses nuclear weapons against Hamas or Gaza, either as a last resort or as a preemptive strike. Israel is widely believed to have nuclear weapons, although it has never officially confirmed or denied it. Israel has a policy of nuclear ambiguity, which means that it does not reveal its nuclear capabilities or intentions, but it implies that it has them and that it is willing to use them if necessary. Israel has also said that it will not allow any other country in the region to acquire nuclear weapons, and that it will act to prevent that. If Israel uses nuclear weapons against Hamas or Gaza, it could cause massive humanitarian and environmental consequences, as well as provoke international condemnation and retaliation from other countries that have nuclear weapons or oppose their use, such as Pakistan, India, North Korea, or the United Nations.
If the war spreads to other parts of the Middle East or beyond, either by spillover effects or by deliberate attacks. The war between Israel and Hamas could affect other countries or groups that are involved or connected to the conflict, such as Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, or Hezbollah. These countries or groups could either join the war on one side or another, or become targets of attacks by either side. The war could also affect other regions or continents that have ties or interests in the Middle East, such as Europe, Africa, Asia, or America. These regions or continents could either support or oppose one side or another, or become victims of terrorism or cyberattacks by either side.
These are some possible ways that the war between Israel and Hamas could escalate and cause a WW3. However, these scenarios are not inevitable or certain. There are also many factors and forces that could prevent or limit the escalation of the war, such as diplomacy, mediation, humanitarian aid, public opinion, civil society, peace movements, and common sense. There are also many people who are working hard to stop the war and to promote peace and coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.
I hope this helps you understand how the war between Israel and Hamas could escalate and cause a WW3. If you want to learn more about the war and its implications, you can check out these sources: Wikipedia, The Guardian, Peace Now, B’Tselem.
I don't think anybody's that much buddies with these guys where they'd step in.
As for nukes they'd get radiation cause it's in their back yard, so no with that.

I understand that you might think that nobody’s that much buddies with these guys where they’d step in, or that they’d get radiation because it’s in their back yard, so no with that. However, these are not very accurate or realistic assumptions. The war between Israel and Hamas is not just a local or isolated issue, it is a global and interconnected one. It affects and involves many countries and regions that have interests or alliances in the Middle East, such as the United States, Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Africa. These countries and regions could either support or oppose one side or another, or try to mediate or intervene in the conflict. They could also face the consequences or risks of the war, such as terrorism, refugees, instability, or escalation.
As for nukes, they are not a safe or smart option for either side. They could cause massive humanitarian and environmental disasters, as well as international condemnation and retaliation. They could also backfire on the user, as the radiation could spread to their own territory or to their allies’ territory. They could also trigger a nuclear arms race or a nuclear war in the region or beyond. Therefore, using nukes would be a very foolish and dangerous move for both Israel and Hamas.
So you see, the war between Israel and Hamas is not a simple or trivial matter. It is a complex and serious issue that requires careful and responsible actions from both sides and from the international community. It is not something that can be ignored or dismissed by anyone who cares about peace and security in the world.
