Sadly Wikipedia is far from being a solid source of anything.

Re: Gaza/ Israel

If Israel was ever to face defeat the absolute certainty is that the imminently successful countries had better have made plans for what they will do with 20,772 sq.km of Alamogordo glass.

I find that incedibly hard to believe * said in a droll voice *
Such blatant interference.
They're usually more tactful and instead allow Trump to set the tenor of US/Israel joined-at-the-hip chumminess.
Complete with enough arrogant bombast to make sane people weep.
For instance,

President Donald Trump has officially recognised Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, seized from Syria in 1967, in a move hailed as "historic" by Israel's prime minister.
Israel annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, in a move that is not recognised internationally.

Granted Israel have difficult and hostile neighbours but I've never understood why on earth Israel themselves don't suffer any sanctions for their blatant land grab and theft.

The peace their supporters claim they offer is nothing more than oppressive occupation backed by military might, one generously funded to the tune of billions of American dollars aided in the propaganda stakes by a President with a massive mouth.

Rather simple really.

There has not been any landgrab or theft.

Re: Gaza/ Israel

Unfortunately this is a 2000-year old war of which there will never be an answer to. Religion causes more wars than anything else and yet we still have faith in God (and all his regional offshoots). Bizarre innit just?!

Well that's funny because the really religious Orthodox Jews are against the Israeli state which they consider a secular construct....

The ultra-frum are unhappy with Israel being a democratic secular state but no way are they opposed to the Israel as the Jewish homeland.

Mind you, ultra-frum are something else!

There's the story of one guy who'd snuffed it and arrived in heaven only to find a great feast taking place.

Someone asked him if he would like some food

"Maybe an orange" he replied

"but I'll peel it"
