Fwiw "it's difficult to express just how angry I felt" when Hamas attacked Israel in Oct' 23.
And, "it's difficult to express just how angry I felt" when Israel obliterated Gaza in retaliation.
All this "them & us" shit, IMHO it's well past time that society grew up and started to address the core bigotries & teachings that nurture those medieval mindsets.
We have some fundamental challenges facing our species on the near horizon, we'll need full cooperation to even consider meeting them,

He sees everything in the world much simpler than most of the rest of us.
To him countries are just large areas of property, rather than a complicated social networks of sentient beings.
Some times being able to look "past the problem" can be an advantage, but as I pointed out previously, in an utterly unfettered role ????? (sweat)

The US can no longer admonish other nations like Russia and China having designs on other countries if it decides that Gaza is its own property to do with as it pleases.

The World is full of clowns and idiots who only see profit in everything and anything.

i was reading about Clarkson and his whingeing about his inability to make a profit out of his farm and pub.
Therein lies his problem in only seeing a money making exercise in everything.
