Same. And Justice For All and Master of Puppets were phenomenal albums (same with for Ride the Lightning).  For more recent, I like Avenged Sevenfold. They have some great long song with lots of structural changes (single: Tonight the World Dies) 

 I can’t sell you on living in the heart of NYC. I myself moved out to Westchester.  However, there are parts of NYC that are like suburbs or secondary cities. But would you consider that still living in NYC? For example, Forest Hills, Rockaways, Riverdale.  What’s your take on those areas of NYC? 

 They rejected the Israeli state in present day Israel And 1948 boundaries. I so want to believe that if they just accept it, all will be great. It sounds too simple.  

They need great leaders and the ability / resources and global support to use their demographics to educate themselves to be a prosperous nation (like Singapore).  

It truly saddens me that with all the aid and resources they receive, they tend to spend it on (or maybe instead of receiving aid, they receive) missiles, tunnels, etc. instead of things that will help them get out of poverty. 

Maybe I am being idealistic and they are being kept down in the dumps by Israel and the West as well as their “friendly neighbors” like Iran.  

If it were as simple as saying, “if they just accepted Israel as a State” we would have peace, then why don’t we have peace in Ukraine or elsewhere?  There are always plenty of bad actors and mobs / crowd mentality make it worse. 

 I find it such a complex issue. I know my bias as I was raised Jewish.  From our point of view, Jews were given land in 1948 for their own state and then immediately attacked by surrounding countries. They defended and took land.  Prior to the attack people on the land (Palestinians) were told to leave so they wouldn’t get caught in the fighting.  They never were allowed back. The attacks and defense and land grabs happened a couple more times.  

We like to think if they just accepted the country in 1948, we wouldn’t be in this mess today.  Palestinians continually reject peace deals.  That’s what we are told.  I think it is more complicated. Those 700k+ refugees don’t identify with the surrounding countries.  I understand why they want their land back.  I just wish there was a solution because what would happen to Israel if 700k+ people just came back. Especially since there is not a good relationship there anyway.  

By the way, before Israel was a State, Jews committed terror attacks on the British.  But most Israelis won’t talk about that.  That’s why I understand why Palestinians are doing what they are doing in Gaza, though I fully reject that as a good strategy.   

IMO, the war machines/power plays on all sides needs to continue to be fed and that is why no solution exists. 

My fear is that the situation spills over into countries like Egypt and Jordan and instead of them being friendly states, end up becoming terror states. 

I do look forward to your views on this seemingly unsolvable situation.

 Ooof. Sorry for posting 5 times. My phone froze and I kept hitting post. 

 You seem very very angry and misinformed.  Are you whitewashing the holocaust or just saying Jews constantly bring it up. Just like Hamas recorded what they did on Oct 7th, the Nazis recorded everything they did to Jews, Gypsies, etc.  and don’t blame the Bible. Show me any Bible that doesn’t include wars against enemies.  It just so happens that over history, Jews had continued to be singled out from weak minded people and exiled or killed.  Yet they continued to survive.  And now no thanks to people like you, you seem eager to see them get wiped away, as if that would solve the world’s problems.  

Good luck with your anger issues. 

 That a reference to the game Fallout? 

 That is what I have heard forever as well. But on deeper inspection, the issue is with all the Palestinians that fled after the first war and were never allowed back into the land Israel took / where they lived inside 1948 Israel.  Now I can make sense of that because 700k-1M + people that don’t really like Israel living in Israel is something I don’t think would work out?  But the false narrative that “why don’t the other Arab countries take them in” keeps propagating.  The Palestinians are nothing like the surrounding Arab Nations.  We will never know what would have happened if everyone accepted the 1948 borders and UN agreement.  

But here we are.  And make no mistake. The Likud and conservative Israeli population wants to get rid of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.  They aren’t going about it like Hamas does against Israel, but there are bad things happening to innocent people in Gaza and the West Bank by Israelis.  

I wish it were as simple as Palestinians lay down their arms. But we live in the real world and something must really be done to bring the Palestinians out of the dumpster they are in for them to live in peace. 

 100%
You can’t go by who was on the land first.  Land/boundaries constantly evolve.    How hypocritical to tell Palestinians, Israelis were here first yet in the US, as you said, Native Americans bet the short end of the stick.  So while I have been taught that if Arab countries accepted the 1948 borders, we wouldn’t be in this situation.   But they didn’t and here we are.  If we allow Putin to take Crimea, Ossetian, etc., should we really be giving thought to giving the land back from the 1948 and Yom Kippur Wars?   

All I known is it is incredibly complicated and a lot of bad actors are involved on both sides. 

 I would tell them to buy a Ledger and buy it direct from them or set up an account on Coinbase and transfer the coin to their ledger.  The guide would be following the instructions ledger provides.
