Pleas don't talk about integrity when you side with murderers, rapists , baby killers, hostages takers and war criminals and terrorists and mass murderers I don't think @NextG was siding with the Zionists. From what I've read, he, like me, doesn't "side" with either Hamas or Zionists. He also doesn't place all the blame on only one side, like you do. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleas don't talk about integrity when you side with murderers, rapists , baby killers, hostages takers and war criminals and terrorists and mass murderers I don’t need to take sides. That is the domain of a fool, destined to repeat his mistakes. I simply take the position of understanding why it is happening and will continue in one form or another. The fact that you feel the need to defend a terrorist state is something you might want to ask yourself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 3 hours ago, Brickleberry said: You are ignoring what is happening on the ground. Palestinians in the West Bank have been forcibly removed for decades now. Slowly but surely, they are being ousted. The 20% of Arab Israelis you reference face discrimination, poverty and are confined to certain districts in Israel to ensure they cannot become the majority and win more seats in the Knesset. They are second class citizens and according to the law passed in 2018, they cannot call Israel their home. It is home to the Jewish people only. So which is it? A two state solution, or just Israel? I'm not ignoring anything. You and the other poster made claims that you cannot back, support or demonstrate. Now you waffle. Spin it as hard as you can, the Palestinian people are still in place, and their number have significantly grown over the years. As for your other bit of nonsense - I never claimed Israel is perfect. But it's a far cry from what you and the other poster alleged. Stop making up stuff, and just maybe I'll bother addressing your points. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 2 hours ago, WDSmart said: ...and one more thing, Morch... These are FORUMS. According to Merriam-Webster, a forum is: "a place that has a long-standing tradition of being used for, is historically associated with, or has been dedicated by government act to the free exercise of the right to speech and public debate and assembly" That, to me, means they are places where you are welcome to express your opinions. You don't have to agree with my opinion. That's okay. You don't even have to explain why you disagree and debate is okay, but you shouldn't try to silence me with derogatory remarks. That won't work. (Unless you're @RImmer ) You express your opinions, and I express how silly, ignorant and pathetic they are. Despite your denials, this is not the first time you tried to push this nonsense, and things were explained, in detail on previous posts. Memory problems? Lying? Who knows?

Morch Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 2 hours ago, WDSmart said: Gaza. and the West Bank are only portions of the former state of Palestine.

Morch Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 2 hours ago, WDSmart said: No, they don't espouse a genocidal agenda. That's what the Zionists want to do with the Palestinians. Hamas only wants to regain control of the land that used to be theirs - Palestine. I've repeatedly said that before the 1920s, both Arabs/Muslims and Hebrews/Jews lived in peace in Palestine. It wasn't until after that when the Hebrews/Jews were given the land by the West as their "homeland," that they moved to take it completely over and call it "Israel." No, you are either lying or clueless. Hamas does not have a vision of Israelis remaining in place under Palestinian rule. Hamas demonstrated its intentions on 7/10. Hamas leaders announced there will be more of this, and no compromises. All of this was reviews on these topic numerous times. You can repeatedly say a whole lot of things - it does not make them true or relevant. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morch Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 2 hours ago, placeholder said: Do you think that because you made the original quote, you have the right to misleadingly truncate it? Here it is once again in its entirety: You think a country that is under blockade by Israel and Egypt is "already free from Israel"? There is no demand that borders will be open between countries. The blockade is in place because of the actions and agenda of Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morch Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 2 hours ago, WDSmart said: I disagree, but that's just my opinion. I don't have any "inside" information as to what else Hamas wants to do other than regain control of Palestine. They may think that requires the elimination of all Jews there, but not all Jews everywhere. That, again, IMO, is what the Zionists want regarding Arab Muslims in what is now called Israel. As I have said, I favor a one-state solution where BOTH Jews and Muslims inhabit Palestine, but I don't think that is ever going to happen. It's going to be one or the other, and right now, it looks like it will be the Jews. Doesn't have anything to do with 'inside information'. It's all out in the open. As for your claims regarding Israel - 20% Arab citizens seem to counter your nonsense. Same goes for increasing demographic figures for Palestinians in general. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morch Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 1 hour ago, Danny Australia said: For 17 years, Gaza endured a brutal siege encompassing land, air, and marine restrictions, resulting in staggering levels of unemployment, pervasive poverty, and a prevailing sense of hopelessness. Israel wielded complete control, dictating who could enter or exit Gaza, denying medical treatment to the sick, and obstructing students from pursuing their studies without Israeli approval. Israel also held sway over vital resources like water, electricity, and communications. Along the Gaza shores, fishermen faced peril as stray ventures beyond designated fishing zones led to gunfire or destruction of fishing boats. The harsh conditions imposed on the region set the stage for an attempted jailbreak on October 7, revealing a context rife with grievances and motivations. All this 'sieges stuff - it started when Hamas assumed power. Maybe something to do with it's actions and agenda? Because things weren't like that before. The same 'siege' was upheld by Egypt. Don't see much Hamas attacks on Egypt, though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 1 hour ago, Danny Australia said: I condemn all genocides no matter who is the perpetrator or the victim. This is precisely why the ongoing genocide in Gaza is/should be condemned. I don’t follow your logic though, are you hinting that a genocide against the aborigines in Australia justifies one in Gaza? There is no genocide. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickleberry Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 15 minutes ago, Morch said: I guess you missed the memo that this came about as a result of Hamas assuming control of the Gaza Strip, and it's breakup with the PA. Well that's only because Israel assassinated the peace maker leader of the Palestinian people, and so Hamas won the election - the first time it had ever participated in one. If Israel (they claim he was a lone actor, I doubt this very much) had not assassinated the guy (I can't remember his name), they would not have to deal with Hamas, they would probably have to deal with the guy who wanted two states and to make peace. Both things that Bibi had no intention of doing, and he was the Prime Minister at the time. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
