I wonder why there are no repercussions for Syria’s President Assad who murdered over 300,000 Syrians. Where are the furious voices demonstrating the “disappearance” of an estimated 12 million mainly Muslim Uighur in China. Well, that's because they're not Jews Let’s be clear, to this very day, the Hamas charter calls for the obliteration of Israel, And just to be even more clear, there are 22 Arab countries in the Middle East with an estimated population of 330 million Muslims. and tiny Israel is fighting for its life... Don't forget the Burmese either , atrocities and actual real genocide happening there . they must be begging the IDF just to drop one bomb on them , just one Israeli bomb so the World will take notice of their situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 There are many anti Israeli posters here that condemned Israel for it's treatment of the Palestinians but don't offer solutions, What is Israel to do when an utter mayhem and madness is going on in Gaza at the moment? just withdraw and leave it to Hamas to control as if they were doing a fine job before, Withdraw and let Hamas dig more tunnels and arm themselves for the next attack ?that everyone knows it will happen because this is the resolves of the Palestinian population to get back ALL OF ISRAEL? Non of the other Arab countries are willing to get involved by sending their forces to control the situation, which leaves Israel, by hook or by crook, having to control the chaotic scenes, so hence the free for all wild-west behaviour each to himself like and the mounting casualties, which will continue to rise... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaza is in ruins, millions displaced in hunger and despair, having to loot food trucks to feed their families, was it worth it all to do what they did back 5 moths ago? and in a hindsight wisdom would would they still go out and do the same? better yes, have they learned anything from all of this?

What is, Is Hubris 12 hours ago, Jingthing said: So Israel should just passively accept genocidal terrorists? No absolutely not ,( Are we talking about Palestinian or Israeli genocidal terrorists?) Because both exist in equal measure. Israelis by now IMO have achieved the goal I first described.in my OP , generations have lived there and know no other life or identity they are not going anywhere if they can help it. But on the other hand neither are the Palestinians, and they have have been there a lot longer. At this point equitable coexistence is the only solution. But the Israelis are trapped just as much as Palestinian though in a much better situation, but just as trapped. IMO Israel was a Jewish mistake of monumental proportions,IMO the strength of the Jewish culture was that inadvertently they had thrown away the constraints , costs and limitations of nationalism , Yes there were costs associated with internationalism, but the benefits far outweighed the costs . In fact there are Jewish factions who believe that israel is a mistake, and Zion is the world not a geographical location. Israelis are trapped and enable to properly react by Israeli demographics. As we all know (or should) a major problem in the world, is falling fertility rates, and israel is no different, but it has and advantage and/or disadvantage depending on one's perspective, Its orthodox population has a fertility rate of , if I remember correctly 6 children per family . gradually making them a large segment of Israeli political power , and are projected to be a large percentage of Israeli population in the not too far future . This puts pressure on Israeli politicians to do the politically expedient thing rather than the right thing. So hat is the solution? A viable palestinian state . Viable!! there is nothing viable by the fragmented open air concentration camp that exists now. Nothing!! whose borders and security is guaranteed by an impartial international peace force . The US can't play any part in it, because it is far from impartial. This has to be forced on Israel. only because it is unable to do so by itself do to some of the internal political dynamics I described above. Of course this would have to be worked out in far more detail by professionals in in the subject , of which I am not, and of many different disciplines . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff the Chef Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 In some ways this is very like the Irish problem, took years of terrorism by both sides before there was a solution, eventually they managed to live peacefully together and share the political power. Took over a century to get where they are now, I know, but it does go to show what's possible, and who would have thought nearly 50 years on from the peace process that there is a chance of Irish unification, something good might come out of Brexit.

"What is Israel to do when an utter mayhem and madness is going on in Gaza at the moment?" Negotiate and carry out a treaty with the Palestinians that is something like this: 1. Israel completely withdraws and commits to a PERMANENT ceasefire, which third-party (UN?) peacekeepers enforce. Palestine returns most (75%) of the hostages. 2. The peacekeepers (UN?) also organize the immediate assistance to and the eventual rebuilding of Gaza. 3. Israel and Palestine negotiate a two-state solution. When complete, Palestine returns the rest of the hostages. 4. The peacekeepers (UN?) enforce the administration of the two-state solution and will probably have to do this for many years.

thaibeachlovers Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 17 hours ago, sirineou said: I think you do, but it does not fit your narrative, so you pretend that you do not. But just in case you are sincere and you don't understand what the problem is, let me try and explain. Indigenous to a geographical location people change as differed groups arrive,and live there for many generations, depart, or are displaced. The western part (costal ) of Anatolia was Greek. The ruins are Greek , the inscriptions on the temples are in Greek there is along and documented Greek history there. . These facts are not in dispute. Turkish invaders arrived from central Asia and by force replaced the indigenous population. Constantinople Fell 1453 Fast forward about 600 years later do the Greeks have a claim to that area? and if they had the political and military power to do . what are the now indigenous Turks that have lived there for close to 600 years (20 generations) supposed to do? That's a problem. I suggest that a similar problem exists in the area of interest to you. That's an inconvenient truth that certain posters are sure to ignore. If I were to use their claim that living somewhere 2,000 years ago is proof of ownership I am entitled to part of England given my Celtic heritage. Somehow I don't think the present inhabitants would be willing to move out for me. What's sad is that old white men half a world away did believe it and stole the land from the inhabitants of Palestine and gave it to the zionists in 1948. I guess the ensuing chaos is karma on the west. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe the accounts in the Torah, the Jews took that land from the Canaanites in about 2,000 BCE. My point in citing this is not to establish some point in time to assign the land to the Jews or not, but it is to show that this land has been inhabited by and under the control of different peoples at different times in history. This control and even the percentage of the population of any certain people has fluctuated throughout history. So, to say this land "belongs" to a certain people is not a claim that can legitimately be made. "They believed Palestine was their land, given to them by God" I agree with this, your last statement.
