Please watch this short video by Nina Paley This land is mine .
It is historically correct and gives references and dates if you care to check. I did not bother to count how many times it has changed hands. But it is a lot. Everyone one the planet including anyone with Neanderthal DNA can argue that they have relatives that once owned that land.
Hey @ETpro Only 150 years ago Native Americans lived on the site where your house is located. What would you do it they claimed they wanted it back and started throwing rocks at you every day. Would you wait a week, a year, a decade before breaking out the Mossberg 500 . Or would you just agree and sign over the deed to NativeAmericans .org?
The whole region is a recipe for disaster. It seems like a psychological experiment designed by a devious mind.
1) Hey, let’s take 4 drastically different religions/nationalities and stick them in 4 quarters of an old city and tell them that thousands of years ago amazing things happened here.
2) Let’s make this city hot.
3) Let’s put a wall around it.
4) Let’s put it in a desert so there is a lot of competition for resources, food and water.
5) Separate the 4 quarters but put entrances on the borders of the quarters so they must bump into each other going in and out of the walled gate.
6) Tell each one that they are the true owners of the whole city.
7) Let any wealth generated by the city go into the hands of a few well off individuals and keep the rest fed by giving them resources.

Can you make it worse? I can think of a way! Now you have the Christian, Arab, Jewish and Armenian quarters. I’d get rid of the Armenians since.they not feisty and antagonistic enough and I’d replace them with either Chinese, Koreans or Africans. I’ll go with Chinese . their business practices will get the flares going.
I’d also start growing some Khat derivative genetically engineered to grow in the hot, dry climate.
What will ultimately happen? My money is on the possibility of some nutjob with nothing to lose detonating a suicide nuke and turning the area into glass. Sad.
Israelis have been hit with more than 1700 rockets in the past few days. Before that, there were around 1000(?). Hamas has been launching them from school yards, crowded streets, out of apartment windows. How should Israel respond? At point do you break out the Mossberg 500?
I think Israel has shown amazing restraint. That will not last.
By the way if someone throws a rock at my house, they will not have the chance to throw a second one. My Mossberg Threshold is 1.
