When I read it, I figured it was fake, but thought it was too funny not to share.

I can't say I'm surprised.

This really shouldn't be surprising to anyone. Especially the West Bank data. Makes it clear that the Gaza residents largely don't want Hamas around as they see what happens when they're in charge, and the West Bank supporting Hamas as they see them as the force that's "fighting for them" against the colonial state.

Palestinians two options and it makes sense as to which one they support.
1) Religious nutjobs who believe in the same thing as them, but they abuse them and corrupt use of aid.
2) Religious nutjobs who don't believe in the same thing and kill them indiscriminately and take their land.

I would love to see a West Bank with the settler expansion halted and the PA allowed to govern. I think we'd see gradual peace.

I would love to see this too. I've said it before but my problems with Israel are West Bank settlements and East Jerusalem home/neighborhood takeovers by eviction/demolition. This leaves families literally sitting in the wilderness in the West Bank. It's bullshit.

Yep. You don't elicit a lot of sympathy or support when you de-home rightfully residing people.

China trying to expand like Japan did back in the early 40's. Not many are paying attention, but that area is going to blow up soon and we'll get involved given our relationship with the Philippines.

As a reminder of the absolute joke that the UN is, they have had 10K peacekeepers in Lebanon for half a century and they continue to allow a terrorist group to thrive in Lebanon. I really have no condolences for the nation of Lebanon when they have effectively done nothing about terrorists launching rockets into Israel for the past four decades

I tend to agree. If they can't or won't deal with their problem, then Israel will. And ask Rwanda how much good UN peacekeepers are. Useless.

It's sad. Lebanon was a beautiful country. Then the PLO came. And then Hezbollah.
