Here we go...
Sorry Sir but that is bullshit.
In no circumstance whatsoever do Arabs herd Jews into cages on their own land backed up by their own illegal, occupying military forces.
As a UK citizen, I am obliged NOT to keep my nose out, as I bear at least partial responsibility as my own goverment has been in support of Israels actions for 40 years.

40 years?? it's a bit longer than that.
the balfour declaration was issued in 1917.

They're all fighting over a bit of dirt and a few stones
All in support of their imaginary omnipotent sky-fairies.
I'm afraid I really don't give a shit.

That's not entirely true.
Although there is a clear division on religious grounds, a lot of the Palestinians see it as a political conflict. Fatah is largely secular (compared to Hamas which is Islamist).

^this
it's largely an issue of nationalism underpinned by various racial groupings rather than anything to do with 'religion', although the issue is extremely muddied by the complexities of cultural/religious/ethnic ties to specific religious groupings (see my thesis)
I hate these kind of debates because for the vast majority of times the issues are brought up, those arguing have some facts or knowledge but it's all extremely limited, there's no way to verify anything and people get very angry, so what happens is the verbal equivalent of two goats rearing up and then banging their heads together.

I still wish they'd all fuckoff
Far worse things happen, there's plenty of African wars to attest to that.
Fuckoff Israel, fuckoff Palestine, fuckoff the lot of you. Sort your shit out yourselves.
