1. With all of Israel's weapons and military power, if it realy does hold a genocidel agenda (it doesn't), that it is very bad at implemeting it. Up until the October 7th massacre Gazans civilians were allowed to come into Israel to work, despite being ruled by murderous terror groups such is the Jihad and Hamas. Despite being bombarded with ten's of thousands of rockets i nthe past 20 years since the disengagement plan, Israel did everything in it's power to avoid sending ground troops inside Gaza. Hamas knew full well the consquences of carrying out such deadly attacks, yet you seem more concerned with what Israel had done since October 7th than the simple fact that there was a ceasefire up until October 7th, We didn't want this war and this war did feck all for the palestinian population. Some power hungey, blood hungry maniacs burst through out borders to kill as many of us as possible, and they were unfortunetly very successful in that task. Show me another way to end that right now without any more human suffering and I will adopt it in a heartbit. Everything was tried in the past, any sort of palestinian autonomy ended up with thousand of dead israelis.
2. According to facts. All countries are based on recognized international borders as agreed upon. This is the basis of modern human law and order. Jews have lived on this land, and purchased lands on this territory legaly and willingly long before the UN resolution. You want to claim that every inch of land belonged to a certain part of the population? it's your right, but a lot of borders changed between WWI and WWII and afterwards, and you seem to be troubled only by a very particular one.
3. Palestinians should accept that a return to Haifa and Tel Aviv is not an option, and should first and first most build a governing body that isn't sponsoring nor perpetrating terror. Once that happens, the majority of Israeli's are more than open for solutions that would allow all of us the live our lives. No one knows how such a solution would look, but we all want that day to come.
BTW1 - It's a point I made to clarify that the two state solution only came about after Jordan lost the West Bank. Before that there was no call for a two state solution, but simply for the anahilation of the jewish state. And that call maybe went quite in the face of modern diplomacy but is still being taught at schools and appearing in Hamas and PA charters.
BTW2 - Your'e much less vocal about that criticism. Maybe theres a reason their border is blocked, perhaps it's because, I dont know, they are being controlled by a deranged terror group? just a thought.
Exactly, It was not, a lot of borders changed around the world post WWII and so did this one.
1. Genocide is defined by the 1948 Genocide Act as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.’
Israel know full well that if they were to kill every single Palestinian in one go they would not garner international support. That is why it has been a systematic process over a period of time.
It is also ironic that the genocide convention was introduced to prevent horrible things like the a holocaust happening again, yet the Jews of Israel have committed the same atrocities against another people. The Jews should know better.
2. My point is that there is no single people who can claim that land. It has been occupied by many. Therefore, it is wrong to suggest that land is solely for the Jews.
3. A return to Haifa and Tel Aviv may be unrealistic. But similarly they should not be pushed off the land they do have either, which what Israel are trying to do. The language used by Israeli politicians has been nothing short of genocidal. To eliminate, starve, dehumanise and displace all Palestinians from their land, in order to take the gas supplies off the coast of Gaza no doubt and move settlers in to the Gaza Strip.
You want to talk about governing bodies who perpetrate terror? Have a look at your own for it has committed the most heinous acts of the last 100 years. The Palestinians could ask you the same question. Come back to the negotiating table when you don’t have racist, far right, extremists in charge such as Ben Gvir and Smotrich , who was part of a proscribed terrorist organisation before becoming a policitician. The Irgun who killed thousands of Palestinians in 1948 were also a terrorist organisation. So your whole country is built on terrorism. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
BTW 1: you do realise what is being taught in Israeli schools? Teaching children to hate Arabs and want to kill them. Teaching your next generation to think fo Palestinians as lesser humans or not human at all. No wonder your IDF soldiers have committed such war crimes when they see Palestinians as less than human.
BTW 2: the border is controlled by Israel. So yes I agree, it is being controlled by a deranged terror group.
