  • Born in late 80s in the Ottawa Valley. Liked Montreal because my brother did. Liked Roy because my brother did. Liked Avs because Roy did. When that was over, I stopped watching hockey for a few years going through life changes. When I came back, I picked Ottawa because I was born there. Got to see the good years, before the current iterations. I’ve got a cool history of being both the fan of a cup winning team, and one that hasn’t (modern era).

    Yeah, I really don’t understand why people always repeat the line that “Jews and Muslims have been fighting forever”. This conflict is a direct result of outside interference, and it seems difficult to understand why things were set up the way they were. I need to do much more reading, because from what I understand, there doesn’t seem to be a plausible explanation, other than the powers that be wanted endless conflict. Generations later, you can’t ask Israelis to give up everything they’ve known, but the Palestinians were made to do the same thing, already. It makes sense for Israel to do most of what it does, now, in defense of itself, but it doesn’t make sense that we’re here, in the first place. Meanwhile, the Palestinians are screwed over and over. There doesn’t seem to be a way out of this that doesn’t involve one group wiping the other group out. Nobody is going to come along and say “screw ethnic and religious histories, let’s just be human and share the land”.
