The discussion centers on the complexities of resolving conflicts between divergent groups within a nation and the conditions under which they might consider splitting into separate countries. It highlights the importance of exhausting all avenues for compromise before pursuing secession, while also considering the practicalities of resource distribution and governance in newly formed nations. Examples from Iraq, the U.S. Civil War, and the India-Pakistan partition illustrate the historical context and the impact of foreign intervention on national boundaries. The conversation emphasizes that internal resolution is preferable to external imposition of borders, as acceptance of new divisions is more likely when the affected parties are directly involved. Ultimately, the dialogue underscores the need for understanding and compromise to maintain unity while acknowledging the potential necessity for separation in extreme cases.

Bob, you've got a really good point. How things should be is the ideal scenario for life. I mean how much easier would things in the Middle East be if everything was as it should be? But that' not the hand the world was dealt and now they have to figure out what the best way to play those cards is.

I want to respond to Russ's earlier post, number 25. The Palestinians never had their own country, but we recognized Israel in 1945 as a soverign state before the close of the second world war. If the Palestinians have never had their own country, then whose country were they part of before Israel? Just curious.

there was NO Israel intill the partition in 1948
how could anyone recognize a country BEFORE it became one

prior to the 1948 WAR the holyland was british ruled before ww1 it was turkish ruled

btw how could there be a Isreal back in the pre-1000bce era as claimed
by them when that whole region was part of the EGYPTIAN EMPIRE
in FACT the wandering JEWS NEVER LEFT LANDS OF EGYPTIAN RULE
during the whole of the EXODUS and their claimed kingdom was part of the EGYPTIAN EMPIRE intill post 1000bce except for brief perods of rebellion
