    Too bad using religious text to settle geopolitical issues is never a good idea. The fact of the matter is that the state exists. Erasure of a state shouldn’t be on the table and that goes for any country out there no matter how heinous or insignificant. Both Israel and Palestine need to come to an agreement wherein both parties can coexist in the present, otherwise their leadership is failing. I like that speech the Kenyan Ambassador Martin Kimani made to the UN back in 2022 when Russia attacked Ukraine. Sometimes it’s best to let go of historical gripes and to look at how you can work together with the “now”, otherwise you will end up fighting for all eternity.

      I agree with you. I don’t know much about the Jewish faith. I was just surprised to hear that some Jewish people weren’t pro Israel. And HasidicJews at that.

        No worries. Wasn’t trying to lecture you, just thought your comment was a good segue. I appreciated your fact as well.
