The lesson is this. Take it from a Navy veteran.

Don't jump ship as you are sailing into harbor. I don't fucking care how beat up, burning, stuttering old that ship may be.

As long as it's floating at the finish of the campaign, even failure can be recovered and the future is intact.

Ships are fine to abandon when the tactical situation dictates. It's the Navy you gotta stick with. Just cause you had to jump ship, don't let the [redacted] pick you up. Those guys will throw you overboard with an anchor tied to your leg.

Are you saying for people not to leave the US after the election?

I think that this is a personal decision each must make on their own.

I wasn't born in the US but I left it after 42 years. While I miss the US, and life as an immigrant is hard, I don't regret the decision.

That is a personal decision for each individual.

It doesn't really matter if people leave the US or stay.

The amount of immigration to the US has ALWAYS been it's strength but I fear mostly for undocumented immigrants and anyone who is in support of Palestine now.
Serge from Babka
In support of Palestine, I agree, and I count myself as one of those people.

In support of Hamas or Hezbollah, those people get little sympathy from me.

On that note Stand Together sent me an email soliciting donations. I should probably send them something.

I was in support of a #TwoStateSolution but it's obvious now that train has left the station since the UN has abandoned that mission.

Can you briefly put into context how long the conflict between Arabs and Jews has been raging?

I'm not sure the youth on social media have any sense of this history.

I may be too close to answer this question. One could argue 100 years (well before [the State of Israel), or one could argue since the Arab occupation of the Levant in the 1700s and 1800s.

One could argue the history of the oppression of the Jewish people by Arab nations goes back hundreds of years, and the ways that we were respected in dress, in law, in finance, in rights.

One could ask what exactly an Arab is... Are Mizrahim Arabs, ie is this an Arab conflict or a Muslim one?

I couldn't begin to answer this all..

I think if we open the scope of time, the answer is actually "thousands" of years.
"Judea" refers to a specific region within the larger area known as "Palestine," primarily associated with the ancient Kingdom of Judah, while "Palestine" encompasses a broader geographical area that includes Judea, Samaria, and the coastal Philistine region, and was used by the Romans to rename the land after suppressing Jewish revolts, effectively attempting to disconnect the Jewish people."
