War zoning

Once again I find myself without the information I need to determine my alignment. I know that Israel is the only nation in the area with abortion rights, and when Israel turned over its settlements in Gaza, it was a major territorial loss for abortion rights—but I still don’t know about zoning. Do any readers know if Israel or its subdivisions ban mobile homes, junk cars or high-unit-density condos [to a greater degree] than Hamas? Because if they do, then zoning opposition is my first-priority issue and so I would have to side with Hamas if they would free the area from zoning.

Unfortunately, since the press doesn’t seem to bother telling me which zoning side the various factions are on, I don’t know who to support or oppose. Either way, alignment must be based on issues and not tactics, so how they conduct their war is irrelevant.

Generally though, if zoners and anti-choice breeders want to kill each other, that’s fine with me. The fewer of both are left the better, and I’m finished giving people the benefit of the doubt. Recent wars have not reduced overpopulation, but that is because they haven’t been very big—which would change with population pressure. Then I can even watch the fireworks.

    Alan check out Occupation 101 in google videos for more info. Step back and look again, it’s a bit beyond zoning and reproductive rights. It’s about human rights and why are we supporting ethnic cleansing. It’s about killing innocent people with nowhere to go, including children not fireworks.
    In the end it’s all about OIL and our control of the region. It’s time to get off the stuff.

    LOL, Alan Ditmore needs to thank his mother for being a “breeder”. Otherwise he wouldn’t be here. By the way, pro-abortion or not, Israel is a bully who illegally attacked Palestine. And our new potus supports Israel.
