I guess not strictly news - but with all of the vitriol I have seen in discussions on the Israel situation, that have boiled down to arguments over wording, I feel that this take from the BBC is worthy of some discussion.

Mods, feel free to remove if this is not newsy enough.

    As an aside, the parallels between how Israel has treated Palestinians, and how the US has treated Native Americans is uncomfortable.

    Which is even more ironic when you realise that that’s exactly where a certain mustachioed German dictator got his ideas from.

      IIRC, Hitler originally wanted to ship all the Jews out. Except that no one else wanted them either. Extermination became the “logical” conclusion.
