[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously since this is the third thread after a couple of thousand posts, some people are passionate about the Gaza War. I just wonder if it is the same people posing over and over or this thread attracts the majority of people on this site. I went to Israel 30 years ago with high hopes that as a nonbeliever there would be some type of spiritual epiphany or at least feeling since three major monotheistic religions have roots there. Instead I found some much tension and a feeling of heaviness from everyone from all three religions. (Loved going to Egypt and Jordan on the same trip due to all the amazing ruins). Since then I just am not interested at all in what happens there. I really wonder what percent of Americans just really don't care much about the plight of anyone in Israel/Palestine and are more focused on other things? Am I an outlier and most Americans are passionate one way or the other?[/quote] This thread attracts IR, PolSci and history nerds. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been the preeminent international relations issue of the past 80 years. It is complex, has a multitude of twists and turns, and none of the parties are innocent. Everyone who studied IR knows something about this. It pops up every decade and never goes away. Most Americans don't even care about our own government let alone another country's. We should care about this because it matters and impacts a ton of things that effect us. But as a whole we don't.[/quote]
