No cable? Who doesn't have cable or sat. Positively un-American....

That's not the history at all. First, there was Judea long before there were "Palestinians." There actually has never been a "Palestine." The Jews were forced out of what is now known as Israel by Arabs and Muslims during multiple "wars" after Mohammed rose to prominence in the 7th century.
The roots of the nation of Israel were born in the Palestinian Mandate of 1947. The Jews (and I'm not one) began slowly buying up swampland and lands that the Ottoman Empire didn't want in the late 1800s. The Palestinian Mandate was a UN-directed cut out of land following WWII offering Jews their traditional homeland. The Arabs that were "displaced" were offered the right to remain in Israel or migrate to the newly created nations such as Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. Those newly created nations chose to reject their fellow Muslims.
Absolutely nothing to do with guns. Nothing.

If it has nothing to do with guns, then why do we give billions in military aid to Israel every year?
Seriously, if the UN voted that you had to pack up your crap and give your house to someone else, would you just shrug your shoulders and walk away, or would you fight for what you believe is yours? I would fight until I got a fair deal.

2) Jews already occupied what is now Israel because they bought it from the Ottoman Empire. Cash. Like a home purchase. Like your home. The Arabs, which were the minority, were offered several options. The fact that they had migrated from Arabic lands to Israel does not authorize them to claim Israel. The fact that neighboring countries would not take them in is also not Israel's problem. There are Arabic Israeli citizens.
Actually, the Palestinians did walk away rather than remain Israel, which is the problem of refugee camps because "fellow" Arabs didn't take them in.

To get the thread back on track...rumor I heard today, so I'm spreading it. We're supposedly getting 12 early production, overweight 787-8s that nobody else wants early next year. Probably getting them for about $29.99 each. Also, SD was in France last week with a bunch of 4th floor types, finalizing a deal with Airbus. Talk amongst yourselves.
In any case, a tiny new fleet of 12 underperforming pigs that would still be expensive (just less insanely expensive) makes no sense unless we're getting more later. And sooner than later at that. JMHO.

Clearly people on both sides of the political spectrum have strong opinions and are entitled to them. I don't come here for that stuff, however, I come here to enjoy debates and rumblings about the place we all work. Would be nice if the moderators would tow the line a little and keep the partisan stuff off this board.

I like the use of "nuanced." It seems to usually be used to describe leftist, usually from those who are trying to portray the subject as intellectual and not a leftist. It smarts because it's true.
