Hamas strike on Israel - Threadbans in op - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

How about modifying point B to say that any Gazan who wants to leave Gaza and return to reclaim their family's land can do so?

Why do you include South Africa and the Arab States as having funding obligations to rebuild the destruction that Israel deliberately caused? Revenge/retaliation against SA for having the temerity to refer Israel to the ICC?

This can mean different things. I don't think Israel can get away scot free on killing everyone affiliated with Hamas given that Israel directly, and indirectly, are responsible for the circumstances which both created the organisation and drove people towards it.

What are you even talking about now?

I was replying to your assertion that there were no cross-border attacks. Are you losing your way a bit now?

I'm sure there are many Israelis who do not agree with what's happening right now. I know some of them who are definitely not happy.

There are many many Israelis who do not support Netanyahu.

I'd say the ones that want it to continue are just hoping that it will bring it all to an end. Now that's just my thinking, based on nothing other then speaking to a few Israelis.

I don't believe that the majority are happy about thousands of innocents being killed.

Many of them appear to have been indoctrinated to hate the Palestinians and consider them as subhuman

Great video. Shows what's actually going on.

The problem with all of this is that for Israel to actually be guilty of "colonialism" (in terms of its formation and for example 1967 borders) is that by definition, a colony must have a Metropole-Colony relationship, a homeland with which settlers in the colony identify. Israel has no such relationship with anywhere else in the world. At most, the term colonialism might apply to Israeli settlements in the West Bank, but to assert this you must accept that Israel within the 67 borders is a legitimate State of Israel.

Trying to undermine Israel now isn't "antiimperialism" it's anti-Semitism. It openly threatens the 7+ million Jews (nearly half of all Jews in the world) who call Israel their home who share a common identity, language, ethnicity and culture.

As to the refugees, there were more Jewish refugees who fled the rest of the Middle East than there were Arabs who fled Israel/Palestine between '47 and '67. 900,000 Jews in all left the rest of the Middle East of which 600,000 went TO Israel, vs. 700,000 Arabs who left. The "refugees" argument of Israel's haters is BS.

You must have missed the Jewish fighting the British in the British Mandate - it was more a case of the British gave up fighting them, rather than actively supporting them. Does the name "King David Hotel" not ring a bell with you?

Chamberlain's 1939 White Paper tried to limit Jewish immigration to 75,000 for five years - and said that further immigration would then be determined by the Arab majority. (That failed only because they couldn't stop all the other European nations from allowing/inciting Jews to leave for Palestine.)

They also restricted Jews from buying Arab land in all but 5% of the Mandate.

Basically, you may as well say the British "supported" the Indians at the point at which they gave up fighting them to keep India British.

Irrelevant. If the British government settled and paid reparations to Ireland to cover all past wrongs in 1922, I couldn't go back now to them and demand more reparations now. Nor could I go and demand that Scotland pay reparations, or India, or Australia, or Wales, or Guernsey or anywhere else.

It's all about the money and compo for some!

LOL. Considering the nonsense you came up with to completely misunderstand what I said over on the thread about Iran this is hilarious. I don't know if it was deliberate because you're so desperate to disagree with anything I post, or whether you really could have misunderstood to that extent. Though it's possible, going by the level of your discussion on here.

(That thread is now closed so I couldn't reply there)

Well you are lucky then that you couldn't respond. Because you'd end up being embarrassed, although fortunately for yourself you probably wouldn't realise it.

Along with drinking the zionist kool-aid about Palestinians being savage inhumans, you also appear to have done the same in relation to their propaganda about Iran. It's pure ignorance.

Any Iranian I met was a nice person. And extremely well educated. Both male and female.

Well Israel are surrounded by people want all of them dead so ... yes. And others who seek to undermine them in any way possible, who might be very helpful (a.k.a. useful idiots) to the first group.
