    A bit off topic, but in my favourite universe/game Deus Ex, the writers wondered what Israel would be like in 2027+. They basically thought "Fuck it, Israel got nuked" and now Israel is a wasteland where nobody can live. Made me laugh and wonder if that is what it is going to take to stop the conflict over there.

    Meanwhile, Dubai and the rest of the ME went on to become rich, wonderful places.

    It's quite ironic because Israel was founded specifically so that Jews could abandon that stereotypical Yiddish ghetto culture and rediscover their ancestral roots, but yet it seems like these days they are gradually becoming more and more like just some European outpost in a hostile Middle East, especially with the new wave of ultra-orthodox migrants into what once was a purely secular society.

    Should you keep going with inane bullshit, none of which I believe in? Or would you like to provide me any link to any laboratory test that proves your claim, that CO2 makes planets hotter, in some catastrophic manner. Because if you claim to believe in anthropocentric global warming, that is in fact what you are claiming to believe in.

    I've noticed a trend with you May. You like to make these snide little sweeping claims with little to no evidence, just opinion. And then I get the opportunity to find all these clever little gems, that really only takes me about a minute or two to do. Then you get to claim that either I have no reading comprehension, or that it wasn't actually what you meant all along, and I'm just too stupid to understand your brilliance. It's a fun game.

    I can pretty much promise you that the ME will never become a rich or wonderful place to live.

    It's amazing, it seems like he really does. Could be a Poe I suppose but it really does sound sincere. I guess these types really do exist.
    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

    There is no such thing as "Palestinian" food, culture, or history of a civilization.
    Simply put they are remnants of a Jordanian invading army from 1967.

    Put them in POW camps or send them back to Jordan.

    I was being sarcastic. Your post is a mixture of disgusting propaganda and hilarious ignorance. A nice potpourri mind you.

    Blablabla, but you didn't even put in any effort to try to understand the content of the articles... What they are saying is that with the current model, increase of funding does not give much returns (they specifically mention human capital problem). Meaning that the current model of funding utilization is strongly flawed.

    Then again, this is not the first time you are doing it, linking articles that are not saying what you think they are saying.

    If that logic actually worked they'd be long extinct by now considering how long some of the feuds have been going on. They have a habit of replenishing between bouts of killing each other.

    In the meantime, even if some of their reasons are fictional, the land they fight over is real.

    It's also worth mentioning that these 'studies' are from the cato institute.

    Not really. It's 2016, all over the world.. Yes, I know some people in the world still buy & sell things with goats. But still. It's whomever has the LEGAL right under UN law, or something other equally law making institution over there. Because there needs to be ACTUAL order, instead of religious zealotry. It's not really their land just because they're fighting for it. Let's not get our heartstrings all in a knot because they're "fighting the good fight". They're not.

    And if that's going to be the way it's going to be, then NONE of them should get the land.

    It's almost as if people like you want USA to get involved and "help". For example the, "In the mean time, blah blah, The land IS real." Well no shit. So which of the 3 spoiled children would you like to help? And, lest you forget, they ALL think they're right & correct & true, and they ALL *think* they have "God" on their side, whatever that means.

    GO! ... No solution yet? What!? But you're so sure of yourself that someone over there is "fighting the good fight for their land!". They must be helped right?! I mean, being "good" & kind-hearted & *always even to a fault* being understanding & sympathetic for all the sanctity of all human life, must win! Right!?

    Well I'm sorry to break it to you buuut, None of them are right, whatever Government over there that has legal ownership of the land is just that, the legal owners. The rest can goto Hell. (even if they don't believe in it)
