thaibeachlovers Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 15 hours ago, Neeranam said: Regarding the notion of offering a two-state solution in response to acts of terror, remember this was the actions of an extremist group. Punishing an entire community for the actions of a few is not a just or productive approach. Many individuals and groups within both the Israeli and Palestinian societies actively seek peace and coexistence, and their efforts should not be overshadowed by the reprehensible acts of a minority, such as Hamas or the far-right Israelis like Yigal Amir or Netanyahu. Saying the October 7 attacks derailed the peace process oversimplifies the complex factors contributing to the ongoing fighting. Collective punishment is a crime against humanity, but when did israel ever take any notice of the UN if it didn't suit it to do so? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_punishment Collective punishment is prohibited by treaty in both international and non-international armed conflicts, more specifically Common Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and Article 4 of the Additional Protocol II.[1][2] There was a peace process before October 7? Can't say that i was aware of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In older Americans it rises to over 90%. Much ado over nothing. But it will change with the younger generations being more pro-Palestine and as the older generation die off. I lived in the US for over 20 years and never saw any article in the mainstream media critical of Israel in the whole time I was there. Such articles are becoming more frequent and with their frequency attitudes will change, and more rapidly that you think is possible. Once a critical mass of people support the Palestinians a tsunami of change will occur, and once politicians who will hold Israel accountable for it's atrocities start to be elected a wholesale questioning of unwavering support will occur and that will be the end of Israel as a force for evil in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is no secret that most of the mainstream media in America has become propaganda outlets for the liberal left. They are losing more of their audience as Americans realize the news they used to trust is highly biased. You tend to forget that the older generation was once young and naive. Many of today's younger generation will also go through the same transformation as their elders. Wake up and smell the coffee. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 US Israel policy is an unusually complex issue. Support for Israel isn't just left vs. right. The strongest support for Israel comes from very right wing Christian fundamentalists and the strongest anti-Israel sentiments are coming from the "River to the Sea" "progressive" left. Yes younger Amercans are definitely much more anti-Israel. They also get their "news" from Tik Tok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get that but I wouldn't be in the prediction department regarding the Tik Tok Israel haters. In other words, over time Israel may really be at high risk of losing solid American approval. Indeed even now support for Israel is morphing into more of partisan issue, which it was NOT before. Israel should probably try harder to combat that in both actions and fighting misinformation.

Nobody in their right mind (and sorry about the state of YOUR mind) would assert that there aren't many powerful voices in the world opposing the right of Israel to exist and defend itself. Why would you try to deny such an obvious FACT? It seems INSANE. Edited January 26 by Jingthing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not disagree, but then again I think trends in Israeli society/politics are likely to overtake the USA ones (if choosing a pessimistic point of view). If the same condition apply, the effect some posters yearn for may materialize, but it will take longer and be far more gradual than they expect. Whether this will benefit the Palestinians could be argued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words like 'decent' or 'revolting' are meaningless when coming from an openly antisemitic poster. Considering the sheer amount of bile you posted regarding Israel and Jews, the ICJ certainly did not 'vindicate' everything you posted. Unless you missed it the ICJ also mentioned Hamas.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
