What is superficial is that the Palestinians have voted for a corrupted terrorist based government that is composed of Radical and Antisemitic pieces of shit who are in thirst for blood of killed Israeli civilians. Palestinians backed up Arafat, now they back up Hamas and you still think an issue is possible. Barack Obama makes pressure on the Israelis in ordure to achieve what Clinton didn't.
If Israel seemed genuine in wanting peace and demonstrated this by freezing settlement expansion, then I'd say you'd have some kind of a point. But considering that Israel is clearly grab yet more land it doesn't own, and these "bloodthirsty radicals" are struggling to hold on to the tiny scrap they've been left with, I just can't agree.
I do
not support Palestinian terrorism against Israel. I have extended family working and studying in Israel. However, I also reserve the same judgement for Israel in its treatment of the Palestinians - I do not support Israeli terrorism against Palestine. Judging by your whole-hearted support of the Butcher of Beirut, you don't seem to agree.
This also means that I see this conflict in terms of two sides who have clearly done terrible things to one another. That seems incontrovertible to me. But since one side was aggressed upon first by having their land stolen from them, and that theft continues today... the Palestinian argument makes more sense to me.
Put it this way... if someone invaded Britain, shuffled the the British people into a measly scrap of Norfolk, reduced what towns that remained to rubble, and then continued to humiliate us by consuming what we had left bit by bit every day, would I oppose them? Yes, I certainly would.
The Palestinians never existed as a real populace but are mostly migrants from the various Arab countries surrounding Israel.
The keys to the homes that Palestinians were forcefully removed from refutes this lie. The censuses carried out by the British Mandate of Palestine refute this lie. Genetics refutes this lie.
There may never have been a Palestinian state, per se, any more than there may never have been a Kurdistan, but they've always been in the region - even back when they were still called Jews and Christians.
Give England back to the Celts!
Boudica! Boudica! Boudica!
Yep, exactly. That's what Zionism boils down to - it's like the Irish and Scots demanding England back. Except it's even more ridiculous than that... As I pointed out earlier, DNA analysis shows that the average Palestinian is descended from the same ancient stock as the average Israeli... the difference is that Israelis are a combination of other groups too. So if anything, it would be more like an Irish or Scottish person demanding England back for the Celts... only to discover the English are probably more Celtic than they are...
I don't even agree with the nativist principle, but since Zionism is built on it, it needs to be addressed.
