Denying them adequate food, water, power ? Israel is a sovereign state because they stole the land. This makes them thieves where I come from. Here is a quote from the Balfour declaration - see how much Israel abides by this ... His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. It's also worth remembering that Zionist groups such as Irgun and the Stern Gang were recognised as terrorists by Western powers. One member of Irgun, Menachem Begin, who went on to be an israeli prime minister and is considered a hero by Isralis, in 1947, hung my father's seargent in an act that today would be considered a terrorist war crime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sergeants_affair.

Hanaguma Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I really get tired of hearing this "give the land back to..." trope. It's BS. EVERYONE lives on land that used to belong to someone else at some time in history. There is no pure and unbroken string of ownership anywhere in the world. Fact is that Israel owns the West Bank through right of conquest. It's theirs. The surrounding Arab countries have had decades to carve out a Palestinian state within their borders and have refused to do so. Wonder why...

spidermike007 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Israel is a wealthy country, with an incredibly powerful and rich lobby. The Palestinians have darker skin, and alot less money. Plain and simple. Trump has never said no to a lobbyist, since he attained the office of the presidency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast1 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 'incredibly rich and powerful Lobby' The idea that a secret, malicious, sinister hand of the JEW controlling our foreign policy with money and power to do their evil bidding is popular on the left, far Right and among various extreme Jew hating groups. Hitler's believed the secret, sinister, powerful Jew was controlling Germany. This is now called an 'incredibly rich and powerful Lobby' but it is the basic antiemetic theory, of the secretly powerful Jew controlling us, controlling our government and foreign policy. 0.2% of the population, in a sinister Jew plan to control us for their evil Zionist plan. Hitler declared that it was the Jews who lost Germany the war and harmed Germany's economy, the 'incredibly rich and powerful lobby'. As do many extreme Islamists, Marxists and Fascists. Basic Jew conspiracy garbage, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jany123 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 9 hours ago, webfact said: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Monday effectively backed Israel's right to build Jewish settlements on the occupied West Bank by abandoning its four-decade-old position that they were "inconsistent with international law." the trump further weakening the United Nations Organization, which holds a contrary opinion, in an effort to curry favor with someone. the United Nations... despoiled by the Divided President. And why not? The United Nations acts for all nations, not just the Divided States, so what good is an agency that isn’t all about MAGA, to the trump.

Tit for Tat Ill remember those quotes next time you're mocking a right-winger for not wanting to give up their rifles or arguing for free speech. And its really weird that you're such an open supporter of terrorism, anti semitism, and the brutal murder of innocent men, women, and children to get your way. Bombing people who are clearly enemy combatants is not terrorism in my view, but bombing innocent people just because they are Israeli jews is terrorism, hatred, and much more - and you support it.

This statement was spoken by a person who completely ignores 'Palestine's' history, aggression, and land-grabs and blames Israel for all the problems.

Israel has borders like any country. It is against international law to claim land taken in war. I dont blame israel for all. But with illegal land grabs what do you expect to happen. Land grabs is provocation and aggression. Do you think it helps bring peace or ecacerbates the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
