This is all a DIVERSION to what's actually happening with the destruction of the American government by Musk.

Here's another Hamas leader:

 

Senior Hamas officer openly rejects two-state solution, calls for Israel’s demise

Mashal also acknowledged that Hamas was never an organization that would just govern Gaza after it came to power in 2007 but one that would destroy the Jewish state.

The Hamas leader said his group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which claimed the lives of more than 1,200 people, mainly civilians, was a clear indicator that his group could do just that.

“I believe that the dream and the hope for Palestine from the river to the sea and from the north to the south has been renewed,” he said, referencing a chant that calls for the erasure of Israel.

Regarding a Two-State Solution and Its Continued Rejection by Palestinian authorities...

 

The 1947 United Nations Partition Plan proposed a 3-way division of Palestine (with Jerusalem held separately under international control).   This plan was rejected by the Arab Higher Committee and the Arab League (among other Arab leaders and governments).  The Partition Plan, would have seen an Arab state over 42.88% of the land and a Jewish state over 56.47% of the land, with the internationally-administered Jerusalem comprising the remainder of the land.  (from The Evolution of Borders of Palestine Throughout Modern History; Bashar Jumaa)

 

At a two-week Camp David conference in 2000, Clinton read a proposal to Yasser Arafat (a proposal which had been endorsed in advance by Israel).  The proposal, as read, included "the establishment of a demilitarised Palestinian state on some 92% of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip, with some territorial compensation for the Palestinians from pre-1967 Israeli territory; the dismantling of most of the settlements and the concentration of the bulk of the settlers inside the 8% of the West Bank to be annexed by Israel; the establishment of the Palestinian capital in east Jerusalem, in which some Arab neighborhoods would become sovereign Palestinian territory and others would enjoy "functional autonomy"; Palestinian sovereignty over half the Old City of Jerusalem (the Muslim and Christian quarters) and "custodianship," though not sovereignty, over the Temple Mount; a return of refugees to the prospective Palestinian state though with no "right of return" to Israel proper; and the organisation by the international community of a massive aid programme to facilitate the refugees' rehabilitation."  [the bold font is mine] (article from The Guardian, May 2002)

 

 Yasser Arafat rejected the proposal and offered no alternatives.  In fact, Arafat didn't negotiate at all.   

 

In 2017, Hamas, in its Charter, said that Hamas considers Palestine to be based on its June 4, 1967 borders.

 

Palestinian authorities have never wanted a two-state solution.

I think the above article sets forth the entire situation quite well. I share many of his opinions, including the crystallization of my opinion that Israel haters are eliminationist anti semites in the traditional European sense.

 

If there are any Jews residing in Europe reading this, I would urge you to emigrate to America.  Jew hating is not only bred into  the religions of Europe, but is a feature of the Socialism they love. Add to the fact that Europe is now becoming a modern day caliphate and y'all need to get out. Come to the USA where Jew haters are usually despised as loons and, you can carry a 1911 to a synagogue. You can even walk around with the funny hats and folks wont f with you.

 

Thats being said, its the Jew haters who would oppose such a creative plan to clear out this small section of barbarity. Their solution to the problem is not to help the Gazans, just keep the fires stoked until all the Jews are eliminated.

More evidence that you are a Hamas apologist. 

 

Every post and claim you've made I've corrected for you. Your now attempting to claim Hamas is a political party, yet its headed by an evil terrorist and its top officials are calling for Israel to be wiped out. It carried out the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and is proud of it. It has promised to carry out more until Israel is wiped out.

 

It is also officially designated as a terrorist organization by numerous countries and it does indeed represent the people of Gaza currently but hopefully not for much longer. Even the PA is fighting Hamas now in the West Bank with Israel helping them

 

Enough of your terrorist propoganda

Having lived and worked in the region for many years I’d be surprised if any locals voiced their opinions in the matter to you.

 

Yes the restructuring needs to start with recognition of the Palestinian State.

 

That’s the internationally accepted solution.Tef

Regarding your comment expressing surprise that 'locals' would voice an opinion on the matter the answer is, they do, quite openly with foreigners they know well and trust. They are, however, far more guarded in discussion with other locals.

 

Regarding the recognition of a Palestinian state, that is indeed the objective of the (somewhat detached) international community. However, for those who actually live in the region it's a case of dream on. As I have said, a far more radical approach is needed if a lasting peace is to be achieved.

Not as simple as you present it, Palestinian would actually have received 73%, possibly extensible to a maximum of 92% (by Israel definition of the West Bank. On top of it, the Palestinian territory would have not been contiguous.

 

Arafat didn't not trust the Israeli for the extension and thought he was being scammed. He may have been right, in particular when considering that the Israeli RW was against it.

 

 

"Based on the Israeli definition of the West Bank, Barak offered to form a Palestinian state initially on 73% of the West Bank (that is, 27% less than the Green Line borders) and 100% of the Gaza Strip. In 10–25 years, the Palestinian state would expand to a maximum of 92% of the West Bank (91 percent of the West Bank and 1 percent from a land swap).[14][16] From the Palestinian perspective this equated to an offer of a Palestinian state on a maximum of 86% of the West Bank.[14]"

Australia will then invite its billionaires and their wealthy friends to develop the coastline to internanational resorts for the world citizens.This will clean up the garbage dump and create jobs for the local impoverished people, It is not expected that Donald Trump will contest or critise this wonderfull endeavour by Australia.

He will agree its OK to invade and take over another Soverign Territory as long as he and his family can "assist" in the redevelopment. The alternative is he proposes to the Australian Government is that he and his oligarch friend wil redevelop this dump to asist it poor population and welcome it as a US Territory of which the US could be proud.

So what is the alternative consensus? 2-state solution? That was all ready & agreed in the 70s but, at the last minute, Yasser Arafat couldn't bring himself to sign the piece of paper.

 

If there is a different consensus now, noone seems to have heard of it. Or if they have heard of it, noone wants to implement it, least of all any Arab state, not to mention the Palestinians themselves.

 

It's very difficult to negotiate with your opponent when killing them all has become your God-given mission.

Hamas took over the Gaza strip in 2007 from  the Palestinian Authority, and the eradication of all Jews, not just in Israel, but in the entire world, is enshrined in their founding charter …. and you keep defending them; hang your head full of hate in shame; pleased however to see that one of your vile antisemitic posts was removed

Yes, the statement "Israel is occupying Palestinian land" is correct. Here's a breakdown:

*   **Historical Context:** Israel has occupied the Palestinian territories, which include the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip, since the Six-Day War in 1967[1][6][7]. These territories were previously under the control of Egypt and Jordan[1][7].

*   **International Views:** The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN General Assembly, and the UN Security Council all consider Israel to be the occupying power in these territories[1]. The ICJ has stated that Israel's occupation is illegal and that Israel must end its presence "as rapidly as possible"[1][5].

*   **Gaza Strip:** While Israel withdrew its forces from the Gaza Strip in 2005, it still maintains control over the territory's borders, airspace, and territorial waters[1][7]. The UN and various human rights organizations continue to consider Israel as the occupying power[1].

*   **"Disputed Territories"**: While successive Israeli governments have referred to the West Bank as "disputed territories," the international community largely considers them occupied[1].

*   **Settlements:** Israel has been constructing and expanding settlements on occupied Palestinian land, which is a violation of international law and a driving force behind human rights violations[3].

In July 2024, the ICJ issued an advisory opinion stating that Israel's continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) is unlawful, and that Israel must end its presence as quickly as possible and cease all settlement activities[5]. The UN General Assembly has also adopted a resolution demanding that Israel end its occupation within 12 months[5].
