Yes, Willo, only the Israelis are threatened,
Where did I say that?
Hamas is an existential threat to poor little Israel
I never claimed only Hamas is an existential threat but I’m sure if any of the 1200 people they slaughtered was a family member or members of yours, you wouldn’t be so blasé
and the Palestinians all left of their own free will
A lot did. Surely as such a student of history, you'd be aware of that fact. Just as some Palestinian/Arabs stayed of their own free will. Otherwise to believe your scenario the Israelis were inept and overlooked the 20% who stayed ie over 150,000.
Were those 150,000 hiding in the bushes, behind rocks? Nobody spotted them? Or the myth of forced deportation is just that. They left of their own accord.
But obviously it was Israel’s fault that other Arab countries invaded in 1948. And the leaders of those countries advised Palestinians to leave. Maybe research that.
Most were tenant farmers, they didn’t own the land they farmed. Even though then and now it’s classed as Palestinian land.
Legitimate owners have the right to their land. Land purchased, other land granted to them, the same as land granted to Palestinians under The Partition. Who owned that land granted to Palestinians prior to that?
Maybe you need to do more research.
You keep saying you see no solution, so it is acceptable for the killing to just continue?
Silly question and answer of yours. One doesn’t justify the other.
I’ve stated I can’t see any solution for the foreseeable future is my opinion. I haven’t mad any comment at all on your 2nd statement. Only you have.
You know, when you consign people to ghettos they tend to react. The infitadas were a reaction to oppression. I really don't know what the Israelis expected, you oppress people, they respond.
Exactly. You keep committing acts of violence and murder the target of that violence wants you contained. Quid pro quo.
A resolution is needed, and if the US stopped arming and protecting Israel at the UN then we would have a decent chance at some sort of resolution.
And on it goes again. If Iran didn’t arm, fund and train terror armies bent on Israel’s destruction and the many enemies didn’t cite Israel at any and every opportunity in the UN, they might not rely on the US as much.
Haven’t we been through all this before?
It seems you have the rhetoric but no meaningful solution yourself.
Apart from your usual, the US should impose a solution, which won’t happen. (what does that look like anyway?)
or the return to the 1967 territories. Whichwill never happen. Israel won’t pull 300,000 settlers from the WB. They won’t make the same mistake like when they forcibly withdrew less than 5,000 settlers and let Hamas end up ruling Gaza.
While many will say Israeli settlements in the WB are illegal. Under the signed Oslo Accords wasn’t it agreed Area C of the WB was given to Israel to control and administer?
Areas A and B under the control and administration of the PA and Area B under joint security control of the PA and Israel.
Where are the settlements mainly?
