People *do* realize that, prior to 1967, the Gaza Strip was part of Egypt, right?

Does that matter? To anyone?

[arib.livejournal.com]

IMO, it probably should.

I, quite seriously, hold the contrary view.

[arib.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

Nah, nah, dude. You are supposed to start a conversation.... Like "history matters more than recent events" so I can say "the redress of ancient grievances done to others does more harm than good". And then we can talk about it.

By the way, your Great-Grandfather punched my Great-Grandfather in 1922. I'm coming for you... :-)

Honestly, I would start a discussion about it, but I'm fighting off a cold and recovering from a fast, so my brain isn't quite what it usually is.

and your great-grandfather had it coming! :-)

Sorry to hear you don't feel well. Eat something!

Great-Grandpa sure was a jerk, but that still doesn't make it right. But for saying so, TWO punches for you!

Depending on which of my great-grandfathers you were referring to, mine was a jerk, too, guess that makes us even. :-)
