I'm not implying any connection, I'm just wanting to know what stance the users here take on Middle East events as people here are very intelligent (and someone might quote this back and insult me with it, but that's fine).
Anyway, thank you for the reply, your simple statement does bring up something to think about and that's the sort of thing I wanted - even if we're diverging onto a slightly different subject.
That's a very interesting point. I know with the fact that Gaza is sealed, it's a given all mainstream news about is fraudulent in some way, shape, or form (and that would be the case even if it weren't sealed). But there are social media accounts of people in Gaza, there are websites, there are a variety of things to indicate, let's say, the voice of the actual population. Of course some of these things might be phony too, but how much of it?
This is the Facebook account one of the central Palestinian run news agencies, based in Ramallah:
https://www.facebook.com/QudsN
It's called the Quds News Network, there are several "Al-Quds" news organizations, namely one based in the UK, but Al-Quds is just the Arabic name for Jerusalem, so a very common name, and be aware that they are separate entities. So if I may ask, what do you think about this?
Note that I intentionally started this discussion in "The 'Chatbox'" that it's for more leisurely speak, and I'm not asserting anything in particular, besides my view that something, of some sort, is occurring in the Middle East. What that might be, I don't know, I'm hoping someone else might know. If your view is that nothing at all is happening, that I have to disagree with.
Gaza exists therefore "Al Queda" must exist.
I don't believe that, and don't know which part of my statements prior were unclear enough to make that seem the case.
