Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
They do look a bit like Soviet "summer camps", but then I spent my summers learning how to kill people with machine guns - which is much more "creepy" in retrospect.
Personally - I would tear the camp down and leave it fallow for a century - much better than the daft plan to cut a hole in a cliff.

Indeed.
The group activities are the same now as they were before. As they should be. Political debates, lectures, playtime and invited guests.
It's a lot less creepy than you think it is, and that may be because you'v never attended one. Basically it's a week's gathering with the people you work with on a daily basis the rest of the year.
Do not forget that the majority of the attendants are active politicians, several of them elected members of local governments. It's not a random bunch of kids who gets indoctrinated, it's a teambuilding excercise for young professionals.
The hole is actually not on the island, it's on the mainland. Further, it is the express wish of the survivors to continue the camp as normal. It would be a lot dafter to disregard the opinions of the survivors IMO.

And again the ceasefire is broken by the Palestinians. Just like every other time. A ceasefire is nothing more than just enough time to get more rockets.
They are both conflict-soaked cultures. When personal identity is defined, in part, by your being an enemy of "those people," it is difficult to parse the particulars and generate meaningful agreements.

And where's the evidence that Israel wants peace? Neither side wants peace. Both sides are as bad as each other, and if I had my way, anyone who goes anywhere near that region gets disowned by their native country, whether they be Muslim, Jewish, or Martian. But you're the one who keeps excusing Israel.
And the landgrab in the West Bank? AFAIK territorial disputes is the most common, and usually considered the most deserving, cause of war in history, with the people whose land is being taken considered to have an automatic right to expel the invader by whatever means possible. What is your opinion of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank? What are the rights of the West Bank Palestinian authorities wrt these settlements in your view?
You are correct that Gaza is not the west bank.
The West Bank has kept at peace with Israel for years.
Gaza has been at war with Israel several times in the last years.
The results?
Tons of settlements in the West Bank.
No settlements in Gaza.
An interesting way of rewarding peace.

So what. It's perfectly possible to have an opinion on Hamas without even thinking about the settlements. I don't like that either but worse things happen, not something I can get all that upset about when you think of what IS and Boko Haram are doing, why are we so upset about such a tiny conflict? And why is it so much more important?

Summary: you think we should all stop criticizing Israel because we never talk about ISIS, which is worse.
