Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
The State of Israel is a country with an extensive history and much more extensive controversy surrounding it.
In this thread, I intend to discuss the modern controversies surrounding the State of Israel. Some of them are religious in nature, some of them political, and some a mixture of both.
Quite frankly, I find it disturbing that a relatively small Middle Eastern/Western Asian nation is the cause, whether direct or indirect, of so much trouble and strife within the region.
My current personal position on Israel is what I would consider to be a "Practical Zionist": I support the right of the State of Israel to exist, since it is basically a sanctuary nation for Jews post-World War II, and it is a US ally, but there do exist problems in it that need to be fixed.
I do not support any two-state solution or Free Palestine political movements, since two-state solutions have already been rejected by prominent Arab statesmen, and Free Palestine movements* seem far too militaristic and even terroristic to warrant serious negotiations with.
Both certain prominent Arab statesmen and members of Free Palestine have desired a massive culling and even genocide of Jews in the past and even present.
I also do not much care for the apparent and undue influence it has on United States policy, because any foreign nation, even an ally, having too much an effect on US policy is dangerous in my view.
*defined as any movement that support or favor Palestine in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, not just the movement with that exact name.
