im not really sure what the point here is other than stating basic facts, so i'll leave it there.
I haven't done that a single time, please give me an example of one instance where i dismissed the balfour declaration. (as far as i am concerned you are literally pulling this out of your ass) But since you don't seem to like doing history correctly, now is the point that would be the most optimal to mention that israel/palestine goes all the way back to biblical roots. It's referred to as both israel and palestine. That's kind of where the british got the idea from. And that's kind of sort of why palestine even existed. If you want my opinion on it, i think they were likely the same land, and through thousands of years of humanity, translation, and just general shenanigans. It changed over time. There is no correct answer as to who is the original owner of that land. Unless you're willing to take religious doctrine at its word, or completely ignore it i suppose, you are given a wealth of options in that regard.
whats with the good/bad shit? I keep bringing up nuanced points, to which you seem to be either confused about, or misunderstanding. And im not sure which. Unless you're referring to my opinions on people dying, in which case that's irrelevant. I have not once, at any point throughout this thread, said that either israel, or palestine are the good/bad guys here, which is what my original point was.
Although i suppose you might be trying to engage in satire here, which would be rather amusing. Though ineffectual.
I was really enjoying this debate, which enriched me too until you lost ur cool. Sad.
Peace.
alright then, you'll have to forgive me for losing my cool then.
You only lied about something i said. No big deal.
