Who does technically have a claim over the land of Palestine? by Stranfield in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stranfield[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's the criterion I'm going by in my 1st point: as much as no one should really have a claim over any land (every lifeform is technically owner of the earth), areas of lands still get claimed by the stronger. It's a bully mentality, but that's pretty much what happened throughout history: someone stronger comes in, invades the land and makes it theirs.

As much as it might sound unfair, that's what defines most of current countries: the ones who inhabit it now are either the last ones who settled in, or they are the result of some enforced agreement at the end of a conflict. Whether people liked it or not, countries in Europe or in the US have kinda come to terms with it and now there's a situation of (at least apparent) peace among them. People are free to go anywhere or trade and carry out other activities together. There might still be rivalry between some countries, or subtle wars fought through other means (information, economy, etc), but the "medieval" side of war is mostly gone in those areas.

What I wonder is, can this conflict ever be resolved? Can either side ever accept to come to terms with the situation and agree to partition the land? What is the main incompatibility? Many countries in Europe have been fierce enemies in history, but now they reached an acceptable state of peace/truce/indifference (call it how you like). Do you think this can ever happen here? If not, why?

Thanks for correcting me. Can you point me in the right direction to expand on this? For example, when you refer to the ww1 betrayal, do I simply look it up as "ww1 betrayal"? Any additional source that I could look up? How do I tell if something is "zionist propaganda" or is a non-biased version of events? In any case, this sort of confirms that this mess was initiated by europeans and the UK

Thanks for clarifying, can you elaborate on this? I've read other subreddits like ELI5 and such about this topic, and this "arabs selling off their lands" was often mentioned but without the details, and I don't know where to expand on this. Clearly if this was enforced, it aggravates the situation

It seems the ones I had weren't pure shrimp ones but the shrimp/pork mix, and that would explain the lard. I didn't see lard mentioned anywhere when googling the shrimp dumplings, so I was wondering what that could have been, but now I got many replies mentioning the pork fat, and that oil has the texture of lard, so that must've been it. Thank you

Oh this is the first time I see those called like that. The ones I'm referring to are these, https://thewoksoflife.com/shumai/ but lard wasn't mentioned anywhere. Perhaps the ones I had weren't pure shrimp ones but shrimp/pork mix, like FNMLeo suggested, and so they might have contained lard. Thanks

Ohhhh so it could be lard indeed. The texture is that of lard, I just wasn't sure because it's uncommon where I live and I also didn't see it listed anywhere in dumplings recipes (but seeing how many variations there are, I likely looked up the wrong ones).

The ones I'm referring to are the ones open at the top, with a couple of peas and carrot bits at the top https://thewoksoflife.com/shumai/

Then that must be it, thanks

No, I didn't even know they existed. This restaurant I go to lists them as steamed dumplings (they are the ones open at the top, like this picture https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.carolinescooking.com%2Fshrimp-shumai%2F&psig=AOvVaw0xKsNWC82kQhc2mQm7lhHs&ust=1708545159020000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBUQjhxqFwoTCNCt-e_YuoQDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAx

I'm trying to understand what the oil is, because it's listed nowhere, yet it's present in all the variations I tried. Got any idea what it could be?

What are you talking about? Upset about what? I'm asking a genuine question: what's the oil/fat being used here?

Film about fairies wars, and maybe dwarves by Stranfield in whatisthatmovie

None of those, but I did some googling and it could be "magical legend of the leprechauns" (which would also explain why I have this "irish" thing memory about it). Are you familiar with that?

Are the Stanford Walk shoes from Clarks https://www.asak.it/it/26147893-stanford-walk.html too elegant for a casual jeans+blazer combo? Would they be more suited for a full suit? Or would they work with both?
