Nope, you keep adding even more convulsed terms, and even more weird combos/applications.

Other than demonstrating you being a hardcore hater, don't know what you think you accomplish.

First of all, I think there's a sizeable (not majority maybe, depends on when this is polled), that would go for negotiation and agreement. Not necessarily dropping their dream of river-to-the-sea but maybe realizing better something than nothing. Your view co-opts all Palestinian to an extreme position - and given your previous posts, I kinda doubt that's based on something solid.

 

Other than that - what you portray above implies that the only solution is a violent one. If so, and if that's (according to you) the Palestinians' choice, what is your point? Do you expect Israel to simply accept this extreme point of view, close shop and dismantle the country?

 

 

I don't expect Israel to accept any settlement, and if they do, stick to it. I expect them to continue on with "their goal," which is the complete ownership of the land which was once called Palestine. 

I do expect Palestinians will eventually captiulate and handover whatever remains of their country to the Israelis. This will be done not from negotiation, but from exhaustion.

There is no such Israeli goal as you claim. Not in some sense of fully agreed upon national thrust. There are parties and voters who are for these things, but that's not quite the same as what you claim.

Yes, we do disagree about what the Israeli goal is. I do agree, however, that there are portions of the Israeli citizenry that would be more accommodating than demanding a complete takover. Examples of this are the two-state and even a shared one-state solutions that have been proposed.

IMO (and the "O" there stands for "opinion," not verified "fact), even if either of these solutions were agreed to and enacted, that there would be portions on both sides that would not settle for that and their subversive actions would eventually errupt into more violence in the future.

I'm sorry to have such negative feelings about all this, but that is what I expect.

This isn't America. In the context of this forum, I doubt this happened to you much, if at all. A whole lot of criticism leveled at Israel is justified. I don't think each and every comment or poster engaging in such faces what you claim.

I meant in the US. Most do not even know what a Jew is here.

If Israel's goal is to completely take over the area, why have they not done it? Why did they give Gaza to the Palestinians? Why do not just carpet-bomb Gaza rather than try to avoid killing civilians?

Anyone that knows how to do arithmetic knows you are a liar. If Israel was bombing "everywhere" and not attempting to avoid killing civilians, deaths would be in the hundreds of thousands.

Your claim that "Israel is bombing everywhere and not trying to avoid killing civilians." is just a bold-faced lie.

 

What do you think Israel should do about hamas and the Palestinians that want Israel eradicated the Jews/Hebrews exterminated? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I assume they have not done it because they couldn't.

They didn't "give" Gaza to the Palestinians. First of all, it was originally theirs. Secondly, the Palestinians last took control of it through military conflict. See the link below:

I think Israel and Palestine should try to work all this out peacefully. That would probably be a two-state or one-state solution. However, most of my posts are geared to presenting the Palestinian perspective because most all the other posts here are pro-Israeli and anti-Palestinian. I'm just trying to help people understand this is not a black-and-white issue.

If anyone knows how to search on the Internet, they'd know the figure is about 16,000. Don't you think that's bad enough? What do you think the final total will be before Israel stops? Maybe your 100,000 might actually be achieved.

Is that after all the Zionists have been eliminated? From one of your earlier posts:

 

"That's why I posted what I did way above that began this thread. I basically said, "BOTH Hamas and Zionists should be eliminated." And, by that, I mean I do associate the most extreme motives with both groups."

I think, as with Hamas, that the extremists and militants in those groups should be eliminated. That doesn't necessarily mean killed, but means their influence needs to be eliminated. However, it sounds like Israelis want to kill all those in Hamas.

btk, I mainly watch CNN, but when I search the Internet, I take any source that has information of what I want to know. And, you might consider that I don't expect everything I read on the Internet to be true. I treat it more like sitting down in a bar with a bunch of people and hearing their stories. They might be true and they might not be. I do trust CNN, at least for the most part. They may have some "false news" now and then, but if they do, they usually notify their viewers and retract it as soon as they find out.

More nonsense. Israel is demonstrating the capability to take over Gaza as we post. If there was total disregard for civilian casualties, it would be over long ago.

They have to be dealt with by the Palestinians, just as the most extreme, militant Zionists have to be dealt with by the Israelis.

These are Hamas supplied figures, and they include Hamas men killed. How many? Hamas wouldn't say.

As for death toll - Hamas could stop it tomorrow. Or it could have not started it to begin with. Or it could have provided shelter for the Gazans.

Again, your claim that "Israel is bombing everywhere and not trying to avoid killing civilians." is just a bold-faced lie.

 

And then you link to an article regurgitating the death-toll as reposted by hamas, which even if true, proves you are a liar. 

 

Again, if Israel was actually bombing everywhere without regard to civilian deaths, there would already be hundreds of thousands of dead. 

 

Telling the same lie over and over again does not make your lies sound more plausible, it just makes you sound like more of a liar.
