And there are plenty of Muslims who'd like to impose Sharia on others too. Not as many as Tommy Ten Names says, but undoubtedly some. 9/11 and other Muslim terror has its reasons too.
Of course. But it is an interesting thought experiment to wonder what would have happened if Israel was not located in Palestine but somewhere else in the world. Would there have been a chain of events that still led Islamic terrorists to commit terrorist attacks in the US, UK and elsewhere?
I'm in Cyprus too ATM (Paphos). saw a couple of USMC Ospreys fly over this afternoon. Follwed them a bit on flightradar and then noticed a refuelling tanker loitering around to the south. It's track showed it had flown from Akrotiri, out over Syria/Iraq as far as the Iran border then back again."The BBC understands that British military jets did not shoot down any Iranian ballistic missiles fired overnight. Nor did the Royal Navy Destroyer, HMS Duncan, fire any of her Sea Viper missiles.
The UK Defence Secretary, John Healey, earlier said that UK forces “played their part” to prevent escalation in last night’s mass Iranian ballistic missile strike on Israel.
But so far the Ministry of Defence has given no further detail of how they were involved."
At least five killed in central Beirut strike, as Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah
Three explosions were heard in the city's southern suburbs while a fourth hit a building close to central Beirut.www.bbc.co.uk
Blimey. Had no idea you can track even military flights. I assume the RAF's role at the moment is mainly providing surveillance info, but no doubt it can soon escalate into something more. Not in my name thanks.
Hard to disagree.
I need to question “this clusterfuck is largely of our very historic making,”. The Balfour Declaration was a noble attempt to help establish a homeland for the Jews. Our occupation of Palestine before and after the war was under a UN mandate, not an act of imperialism. We so defended the rights of Palestinians that the Zionists bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 killing 28 British people. I know it’s trendy to slag-off our past but I’m not convinced it’s justified here.
Indeed some need to grasp history. The first "terrorists" in the area were from the Jewish community.

Essentially it's all about money. Sink billions into funding candidates and parties which back you and you can control who wins elections. Turn away (or criticise too harshly) from Israel and you're basically guaranteeing an election loss. Therefore you have to be seen to be towing the party line.
