There's still a spectrum within that. One can believe that you have a primary obligation to stop rocket attacks on your population without supporting invading neighboring countries for their resources or something.



Put your ***** for Israel back in your pants. The governments actions have done more than enough to entice everything that Palestine throws at them. When your "back yard" has tanks and APC's sitting it all day, and you are surrounded by a giant wall, of stone razor wire, and machine gun fire, I think you are entitled to shoot a few rockets or blow yourself up so your family might be able to sit out back in the sun without threat of an over zealous Israeli trooper taking liberties with his shoot first ask questions later doctrine.

Everything Israel gets they deserve. Outside of mass murder they are treating the Palestinians the exact same way the ***** did the Jews. **** Israel, its a stain on the world map and should have been removed a long time ago. Support of Israel is why the Arabs largely despise us. The West pours money into Israel, but not any of the other nations, and what has Israel done in return?

Israel between Nov 2000 and Feb 2005. Yeah, they totally deserved all that.

We should be because people keep claiming that Israel had "no right" to the land. If Great Britain had a legitimate claim to it, there's no arguing that Israel's claim is less legitimate once Britain gave it to them.


My concern, personally, is that Britain shouldn't have been such an asshole about handing away land that was already occupied. That was just sort of a **** move.

Israel owns the land. Prior to them, the British owned the land. Prior to them (since the 1500's), the Ottoman Empire owned the land up until they lost World War One to the British and so lost their Middle East territories. See any ownership names missing from this list? How far back do we need to go?


So your justification is the prolonged subjugation of the natives. Right, that's great.

Mexicans with Spanish ancestors are the rightful of inhabitants of Morocco, right? I mean, that's pretty much the same situation. Do you hate Mexicans or something?

Cultural ties play a big part of it but there's also the simple fact that Israel is a western style democracy and western style democracies tend to get along well together (at least compared to the alternatives).

Even more pragmatically, what do the Palestinians have to offer for our support?

Incidentally, this...
Quote:
Extremists in Palestine launch some poorly built rockets and kill a few people, the Israeli government responds by killing over a thousand Palestinians, destroying infrastructure and so on.

...is one of the dumbest comments made here in a while.

(A) Those "extremists" are Hamas; the ruling elected government in Gaza.


Desperate people subjected to slow genocide in support of extremism shocker.

It's a problem Israel made for itself. If they weren't hung up on having some ******* medieval "Jewish state" and accepted the Arabs as equals then there wouldn't be much appeal in extremism. They've turned a police problem into a military problem so as to further 'justify' their barbarism.

Quote:
(B) They're launching rockets only because Israel built a big wall which made a lot of people complain but also (more importantly to Israel, I'm sure) stopped the flow of suicide bombers who happily blew up clubs, restaurants, buses, schools, playgrounds, etc.


Which also had the happy coincidence of changing the facts on the ground prior to negotiation. "Lol this Palestinian land which is on our side of the fence? Naw bruh, can't give it back, dem sandniggers will murder us. We'll just have to keep it". There's also the fact that it violates international law.

Quote:
(C) They're not launching poorly built rockets because they're half-assing it, it's because they lack better built rockets.


Which is obviously a result of the embargo imposed on Palestine. Apparently chocolate, jam, canned fruit, fruit juice etc are essential components to weapons making. Teddy bears are some brutal ************** my grandfather lost his arm to one in dubya dubya two.

Quote:
They should stop launching their ****** rockets from population centers and using schools and hospitals as cover if they don't want their population centers, schools and hospitals to be targeted for counter attacks. In fact, not launching rockets at all would be a splendid method of preventing Israeli airstrikes and tanks rolling down their streets.


Those dumb ******* civilians and their daily routines. They should have known better than to send their kids to school while being Arab.

So when are we going to nuke Iraq and Afghanistan?

“Jerusalem must never again be divided,” Netanyahu said, echoing what he said in a 1996 speech to a joint session. He said that Israel would be “generous on the size of the Palestinian state” but will be careful about “where we put the border.”

Vice President Joe Biden, seated behind Netanyahu, did not applaud at the leader’s line on Jerusalem that won rousing support from Congress.

Netanyahu was interrupted by bipartisan standing ovations 29 times during a speech that ran about 40 minutes.

The rest of your post isn't even trying. You know what would fix the issues of poor missing teddy bears and schools used as rocket sites being targeted by the IDF? Stop launching rockets at Israel.

Palestinians in the West Bank, including east Jerusalem, have lived under Israeli occupation since 1967. The settlements that Israel has built in the West Bank are home to around 400,000 people and are deemed to be illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this.



Id say any number of years of attack is warranted with 33+ years of occupation. Or do you think that random bombings of **** supplies and such in the various occupied nations in Europe (primarily Norway,Denmark,Belgium,France,Holland) By the citizens of those countries were out of line. I mean the ****'s occupied them so they should have just bent over and took it right.

If you think that was sufficient, that's fine. But it's not really anything worth responding to. Was there a specific argument you feel invalidates the history of ownership?

Oh Im sorry what else is it when you park your military in territory that was not originally yours (you should do homework because Palestine has only been under Israeli control since the War in 67, when they marched in and never left it was not part of the UN redistribution that resulted in the make up of Israel) That is an occupation, and a very lengthy one.

You should do your homework since my comments about the chain of ownership were in regards to the original state. If your argument is that it's "unfair" that Israel should hold territory seized following a failed attempt to destroy them by their neighboring states... well, that's up to you but I find it hard to give much sympathy. Maybe you should ***** about their neighbors instead.

It is the spoils of war, and nothing else. The territory in question is the result of victorious armed conflict against aggressors and the fact that the United Nations, the most anti-Semitic organization currently in existence, doesn't side with the winners of the conflict says more about them than about the state of the West Bank.

As a response to your first post. I would hardly say this summarizes the sentiment I've expressed in the whole of this thread.

Quote:

Rather, I don't think the ownership is valid in the first. Imperialism might be the reality of the world, but I don't see that as a reason to accept the current state of affairs. I would say that the people who've continuously inhabited the region for millennia have natural rights which supersede those of military conquerors and those who they pledge the land to.

It's my opinion, and I would be obliged to say a matter of fact, that the Israeli occupation of Palestine is no particularly different than any other matter of colonization or imperialism. Only, it's been clouded by ethnic matters. 'The Jews have suffered great persecution through history so we'll turn a blind eye to their current war crimes', etc.

Now we only have to clarify what discussions fall under the umbrella of the grown-up world, which should be about as simple as defining colors in the philosophical sense. We could discuss the interesting proposal to solve the Israel/Palestine issue by working outside of the conventional notion of borders, or how effective the president has been on negotiating with the parties involved, and as the history of the board has shown we could do this ad nauseam. However, I don't see how these are anymore practical or mature in nature than discussing the morality of the Israeli occupation.

To my knowledge, no one here has any ability to play a significant part in any issue we argue over, so all it boils down to discussions of the abstract. I don't see how this is much different.

Furthermore, I can't find the article I had in mind.

National boundaries and ownership of various sections of the world do change over time. I suspect that it is you who were making an exception in this one case, not the other way around.

Quote:

Which people though? Have you actually studied this issue? Have you looked at the population numbers in the region in question going back to say the 1920s? Have you looked at the ratio of various ethnic/religious populations over that time period? The region was fairly sparsely populated until after the Jews began putting a lot of money into building their new nation of Israel. When it was just a smallish number of Jew, Christians, and Muslims living in the area, no one cared much, and no one fought over it much. Tourists came and went and that was about it.

The people you today call Palestinians are largely made up of the descendants of those Arab tribespeople who moved into the area *after* the Jews began spending lots of money and effort to build it up. In many cases, they moved there deliberately in order to prevent the creation of a Jewish state, often at the request (or demand) of the Muslim run states nearby. During the British Mandate period, it was a fairly common practice for the neighboring states to push the nomadic groups out of their territory and into the Palestinian territory. Partly because this allowed them to get rid of troublemakers and extra mouths to feed and foist them on the British, but it's hard to read the historical records and not see a strong anti-semitic aspect to it as well.


Quote:

Only, it's been clouded by ethnic matters. 'The Jews have suffered great persecution through history so we'll turn a blind eye to their current war crimes', etc.


I'd say that the blinds eye aspect has been overwhelmingly outweighed by the anti-semitic angle though. No other group of people would have faced such great opposition to the creation of a state, right? The reason we have conflict is because there are large groups of people who've opposed a Jewish state from day one and have acted to create a conflict in order to prevent it. That conflict continues today.

Palestine is the name for the general territory. It's not an ethnic or national identity. The Jews living in Israel are *also* Palestinian. As are the Christians. As are the numerous Muslims who live peacefully in Israel itself. For some strange reason, you (and many others) attribute this label to just the Muslims who were pushed out of Jordan, Syria, and Eqypt and told to make trouble in Isreal, and who then got caught up in the middle when those three nations attempted to invade, and then became refugees when the nations they initially came from refused to take them back after the conflict ended. Very very very few people living in the camps and calling themselves Palestinians were people who'd been living in the area for generations prior to the creation of the Jewish state in the first place.


I just think it's complete absurdity to attempt to grant some kind of centuries (or even millenium) long struggle of a local people, when most of them can't trace their heritage in the area itself to a time prior to the actual struggle itself. The reality is that the Palestinians moved (forcibly in some cases) into the region either immediately before the conflict(s) or shortly afterwards. And they were moved there deliberately to create the exactly conflict and problems that we're seeing. And in the most bizarre twist, those refugee camps have experienced some of the highest population growths since the conflict began. Strange, don't you think? Most people would be attempting to move out of such camps, and you'd certainly expect population growth within them to be low, right? It's fairly clear that people are moved into those camps deliberately to create a problem for Israel and to make people like you feel sorry for them.


You should feel sorry for them. But it wasn't Israel who screwed them over.

You should do your homework since my comments about the chain of ownership were in regards to the original state. If your argument is that it's "unfair" that Israel should hold territory seized following a failed attempt to destroy them by their neighboring states... well, that's up to you but I find it hard to give much sympathy. Maybe you should ***** about their neighbors instead.



Im not arguing about who is controlling, Im saying Israel has been ***** about it for over 40 years. They have essentially cut off Palestine from the rest of the world, and force them to live how Israel thinks they should live. For 38 years they did this by keeping their military in the Palestinian State, it wasn't until 2005 that they pulled their military out. Following several years of pretty frequent bombings etc targeting israeli people and military.

You seem to be arguing with me about something I don't deny, Israel won the territory, it is their territory, but that doesn't mean they can subjugate several million people. The Jews especially should be conscious of this, the last 60 years of their history has revolved around sympathy for the Holocaust. @#%^ them, they are no better than **** Germany. Round up anyone who isn't Jewish and shove them into Gaza, and let them Rot. Build them barely habitable cells erm Apartments, and blockade all access for aid to reach them or for them to get out...

This isn't something new because of some bombings in the early - mid 00's or rocket attacks, its been going on longer than likely most of us here have been alive.

So you do you homework, and take more care in remembering who you are arguing with and about what. Israel is a taint, and because the West backs this @#%^ed up wannabe "free" nation the Mid East will always hate us.

Just out of curiosity, What has Israel done for the West. Ever. They aren't helping in Iraq or Afghanistan, They sent 50 000 mercenaries to battle the West's new pro democratic friends in Libya. They tried to prevent pro democratic move in Egypt. Really what have they done at all, nothing. They have contributed nothing to the world. But ya throw your support behind a nation that has taken and taken and taken, and given nothing back but ever lasting International headaches for western interests. Israel is useless, worthless, and I hope it gets wiped off the map.

(outside of Hollywood, and The lolUS banking system).

(disclaimer. I do not hate Jews, I hate Israel It is a terrible country, it is a terrible ally, it is an Opressive nation, it is one that if they weren't pro western would receive massive UN sanctions. It is right up there with the Irans, and Koreas of the world, and like them deserve to be tuned into a parking lot.)
