It ' s not related it ' s just a joke <| sep |> While that is true I think it is healthier for him to have sight of the future . Fun is good and all that but this is SERIOUS BUSINESS . <| sep |> Agree with you on the first point granted I ' m not that knowledgeable about soccer per say but I haven ' t seen the Palestinian flag that often in general , and I don ' t get why people are making a fuss about it . It ' s just a damn flag . On the second point the exaggeration is coming from you or at least disingenuousness . The IP conflict is minor compared to the rest of the shit that ' s happening or has happened , for the lucky states that have already established stable borders whether fairly or not . The statement is only true in a narrow sense because most of the aforementioned places have either been completely ethnically cleansed , annexed , or de facto settled long ago . The IsraelPalestinian issue gets more coverage because 1 the participants and the location make for a more interesting story 2 the occupying power in question has a strong , vocal minority that engages in selfcriticism and collaborates with the international media . As an example , the situation in NagornoKarabakh is no less of a crime then the West Bank , but no one really cares because 1 most people have no idea where the hell this is even taking place 2 the region was entirely ethnically cleansed , so there is , conveniently , no one left to be occupied . 3 there ' s no equivalent of B ' Tselem or Yesh Din in Armenia .
