    Turkey is probably the better country all things considered. Better food and climate. It would be like comparing Illinois to Arizona.

    One is a corrupt zionist and the other is a corrupt islamist. So i don't think there'd be any difference.

    I would have thought you'd be an Erdogan fan.

    An entire country that worships death and murder. There is no fixing it.

    Unlike you, i don't have hatred in my heart towards any ethnicity or religion.

    Even you shouldn't believe that a survey was conducted in a city that is completely under siege and a war zone.

    And i also have to mention that for someone who finds the data and statements of the world's leading human rights organizations and the United Nations unreliable, the Twitter accounts you find reliable are remarkable.

    I agree. There's no fixing Israel.

    Ehh. What part of Illinois? There are large areas in Chicago and in the North Side outside of Chicago that are superior to anywhere in Arizona and just about anywhere in the country.

    The food in Chicago is better than Arizona too.

    Outside of the Chicago area ? Illinois is a shithole.

    Interesting, but I do questions is accuracy under the circumstances.

    I don’t doubt that a number of Palestinians supported the 10/7 attacks - because they view it as an attack against an oppressive apartheid state - Israel. A lot of Irish supported the IRA as well… having said that, there are also a lot of Palestinians don’t like Hamas or 10/7 and view it as just making their lives harder and the regional violence worse.

    As for support for Hamas in Palestine, no I don’t believe it is in the 60% range. Hamas isn’t even the rightful rulers of Gaza. They narrowly won a single election and then took over by force and ended elections.

    Why the hate for Iran? Some of it is that some Palestinians know that Hamas would be overthrown without support from Iran and Qatar. So for good number of Palestinians there is resentment. Another reason is that the ruler of Iran is an extremist and there are a good number of Palestinians that are not socially that extreme. Last - Palestinians know they are just a pawn in the battle between Saudi Arabia and Iran…. I don’t blame Palestinians for hating the USA - our government heavily supports Israel.

    From the Palestinians I know - the only thing they hate worse than Hamas is Israel.

    The Ottoman Empire supported Nazi Germany - A lot of Arabs hate Churchill and the UK because of how UK ran the Middle East territory it took from the Ottoman’s.

    Yes. Colonialism f'd stuff up all over the world and left us in so many spread out messes.

    But it might pale in comparison to what we're leaving in place for five generations down the road.

    Good luck kids.

    Chicago is Istanbul and Illinois is Turkey. The Bosphorus is Lake Michigan.

    Israel is Arizona. It’s hot and a desert. Conservatives and businesses love it. People will move there and complain about the indigenous peoples committing crime. The best cuisine in Arizona and Israel is from the indigenous cultures.

    Both states have issues with crazy and corrupt politicians.

    Some people love Illinois and hate Arizona. Some hate Illinois and love Arizona. But most in the US are indifferent to both which is how it should be for Israel and Turkey.
