Ah, it's the old "you first" attitude. Of course you realize that if both sides take that attitude, they end up deadlocked.

Besides which, dismantling the Palestinian terror infrastructure is a much more onerous task than dismantling the IDF. The IDF is part of the state and could easily be put to sleep at a moment's notice. The Palestinian terrorists, however, are led by several disconnected extremist factions and inviduals and would actually have to be tracked down and put away. Perhaps the Palestinian "state" might like to take *some* initiative and root out *some* of its terrorist factions to prove its sincerity?

well it's not 50, diginut. arguing for a jewish state because of the numerous arab states is like saying let's make nigeria a jewish state because there are many african states. how pathetic and low.

it's not the 'you first' attitude. Israel is the occupier and palestinians are the occupied. Israel has a responsibility to respect the human rights of the occupied. It doesn't. It makes people angry and bent on revenge.

Pathetic and low, perhaps, because Nigeria is not ALREADY a Jewish state, but Israel is. We aren't talking about forcing people out to make a new Jewish state, we're talking about keeping the ONE Jewish state there is instead of letting it become one of 23 Arab states in the same area. Like I said, a peanut in a football field, why make such a big deal over it? Let the Jews have their tiny little space if it's so bloody important to them.

Well, actually, I know why the Palestinians care so much - but it serves no purpose to say it because it will be dismissed as lies and generalization.

Wow that makes sense... not. It would seem logical that the ones who do NOT have military power (i.e. the "occupied") are the ones that should maybe relax a little. It's not the responsibility of the "occupier" to protect the human rights of those that are killing them - and yes I know what you're going to say, only a handful of Palestinians are actually killers, but only a handful of Israelis are killers as well. It works both ways.

If Palestine really wants Israel to root out their military cruelty, maybe they should take the initiative and root out their own terrorist groups, instead of supporting them financially and fighting a PR war with Israel. The problem here is that you want Israel to take the INITIATIVE on everything when Palestine hasn't taken any INITIATIVE of its own. Someone has to get the ball rolling - how can you legitimately just EXPECT Israel to do it and not Palestine? How can you reasonably apply this double standard?

Let them have the Jewish state. But let refugees return. The situation sucks but that's how it is.

No you don't know why Palestinians care so much.

Relax a little? The 9 years of Oslo was relax a little from the first intifada. Not to mention the 28 years before the first intifada, which was even more relaxed from Gaza and the West Bank than after the first intifada.

It is the responsibility of the Occupier to protect the human rights of the occupied. Those who are suspects should be arrested and given fair trial and not killed and not bombing the whole street to get a suspect. Collective punishment is illegal, so are extrajudicial assassinations. And putting quotation marks on top of the word occupier just shows that you are an extreme zionist whether you like it or not.

Accepting 22% of the original land as a palestinian state is enough initiative. There was more but I won't go through with this now.

Palestinian, your posts are so full of contradiction and fallacies that I can't even begin to imagine how your mind works.

First, you concede that ALL the killings on both sides, Israeli and Palestinian, are actions from extremist groups that need to be stopped. Then, you go on to justify the Palestinian killings and suicide bombings and say that they're somehow understandable or necessary.

You concede that much of the extremist terror (on the Palestinian side) is state-supported, and yet you claim minutes later that it is merely the result of disgruntled oppressed individuals because of Israeli "terror".

You insist that the right of return is the primary issue, despite the obvious knowledge that a majority of Palestinians don't want it and would accept compensation in its place. You proceed to say it's the "principle of the thing" and claim that the extremist groups don't care about ROR in spite of the fact that it's #1 on most of their priority lists.

You act like right of return is some sort of god-given right (most likely because the UN decided it, which is ironic considering how much you hate the UN), and to substantiate your claim, say that the displaced Jews have the right of return even though they clearly DON'T (have there been any agreements signed which give them rights to land in Iran, Egypt, etc...?)

You accept the Jewish need for a Jewish state, yet insist upon them making arrangements that could very clearly turn it into an Arab state in a very short time.

You say that the occupier has the responsibility to protect the rights of the occupied even when the occupied is clearly violating the rights of the occupier - the Palestinian suicide bombers have only hit a small proportion of military targets. Okay, I guess this isn't contradictory but it is hypocritical.

You say that putting "occupier" in quotes makes me an "extreme zionist" - what on earth is your logical basis for that?

In the most blunt terms, you say you want peace, but that the Palestinians shouldn't have to stop their killings until they are given everything they want (which by the way, is pretty much a definition for war).

It's a neverending loop with you. You make whatever generalizations seem necessary to prove your point, even when they totally contradict generalizations you made before. Further, it bears emphasizing that they ARE all generalizations, which I guess is how you think you can get away with making contradictory ones - aside from scattered reports of disgruntled Israeli soldiers killing Palestinian civilians (which none of us are denying), you show little evidence to support your view of the Palestinian civilian "public opinion." To be honest, it really seems like you just want the elimination of the Jewish state, which is what all the "Zionists" worry about, and is essentially the reason why peace talks down there have been so futile.

I'm not a Zionist. I don't think the Israelis have a god-given right to a Jewish state, but I don't think the Palestinians have god-given rights to the territory either! The point is, Israel owns the land NOW, they are in power NOW, and Palestine and the UN are basically bullying them into "sharing their toys." I don't condone violence on EITHER side. BOTH sides have plenty of blood on their hands. But your prejudice against the Israelis is totally obvious by the fact that you'll say anything just to cast the Palestinians in a positive light.

Go ahead and launch whatever ad hominem attack you want against me - this is pointless, trying to have any rational discussion with you is about as fulfilling as the peace talks in the middle east, because everytime you don't like something you hear you go off on a rant about how we're all Zionist and Prejudiced.

actually, the jews do have a god-given right to the land. it is said many times in the bible. through prophecy, that israel after losing her land to Babylon and other invaders would someday get it back. anyways jews have been in that area for many thousands of years before any muslims arrived.

here are some passages...

Isa. 9:12
The Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west; And they devour Israel with gaping jaws.

^^^^just comparison to gaza, west back, and jerusalem....

Exodus 4:
22 Then say to Pharaoh, 'This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son, 23 and I told you, "Let my son go, so he may worship me." But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.' "

^^^^exactly as it says. Israel is my firstborn son, and I am his father. let the son go, or i will kill yours.

Exodus 7:
16 Then say to him, 'The LORD , the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you: Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the desert. But until now you have not listened.

^^^^God of who?? Let "what" people go?

next passage refers to much of the secular world...

look to next post.

Exodus 5:
2 Pharaoh said, "Who is the LORD , that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go."

Secularist passage. why believe that god is real. if u can't see him, u dont know him as pharoah did not. if u cant see, then he muct not be real. then why do many people believe there relatives to be in the sky, or as ghost. many people believe their relatives live on, yet they cant see their relatives. but they believe anyways. kind of the same way with god.

Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

Refering to Jesus in the end, who was to open the last 7 scrolls on the earth during the tribulation of the antichrist. these scrolls are essentially disasters and plagues on the earth. only jesus himself is worthy to open these scrolls. and he does, and the people in heaven worship him.

"You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

died on the cross in exchange to satisfy god's anger to our sin. jesus died to purchase us for heaven. if this didnt happen, there would be nothing we could do to save us from hell. yet, jesus came, died, took away our sin, so that we could go to heaven. all throughout the bible, god says, only the rightious can enter heaven. we ourselves cant become rightious because of our sinful nature. and thats what god's son died for.

Yes I suppose you're right in the biblical sense. I think both Jews and Arabs feel that they have a divine right to that land according to their religion?

I shouldn't have used the term "god given", that was misleading. What I really meant was that if you take religion out of the equation completely, if we could all just step back for a moment and stop looking at it as a Holy land and just look at it as a piece of property, then whoever is occupying that property is its legal owner, unless someone else can provide a lease agreement or some other piece of evidence that proves otherwise.

In a purely historical sense, it's kind of hard to tell who had first dibs on it. I mean, yes, most recently it was the now-Palestinian people that were there before the Jews. But before the Palestinians were around, the land was occupied by different Jews. And before that, it was occupied by different Arabs. I mean it just goes on and on and on and we could argue for the next 7 years about who was there first but it really wouldn't get us anywhere. The fact is that people have always been fighting over that land throughout history, lord only knows why, the only real difference between now and then is that now there's a whole big international political stink over it, whereas in previous days nobody from outside the middle east really gave a rat's ass.

So instead of arguing, we have to look at it objectively and say okay, Israel is there now, they're doing a pretty decent job of running the place in spite of the ever-present infighting between Jews and Arabs, so why not just forget about who used to own what and stop killing each other? Israel tames its IDF, Palestine stops paying "martyred" families and teaching hate in schools, and everybody just keeps living exactly where they are right now and shuts up about genocide and terrorism and the UN and its pompous nagging-parent politics? Oh sure, the extremists don't want that, so how about instead of catering to their every whim, we treat the extremists like every other country treats its criminals and throw them in jail or have their naked asses whipped in a big public spectacle?

I know it will never happen but that's really the "best" solution. Everybody just shut the fuck up, put down your guns and bombs, and go back to living life like normal people do.

Thanks Flotser.

Diginut, your posts are so full of ignorance and misunderstanding. You completely miss out on what I'm trying to say. You can't begin to imagine how my mind works because it seems you're too slow.

First, I know that the killings of civilians on the Palestinian side are by extremists. The killings on the Israeli side are also by extremists i.e. the IDF. I do not justify any of the killing from any side. And I don't think they're necessary. From the Palestinian side, understandable, yes. They are understandable. Zionists are either incapable or unwilling to separate understanding from justifying. I'll go for the latter.

MERELY the result of oppressed individuals??? Are you okay, Diginut? Oppression has been the cause of terror throughout the world and throughout history. All you need is oppression for terrorist behaviour. And putting quotation marks around Israeli "terror" again shows that you are a zionist. Face it. Why the quotation marks? You don't believe that Israeli terror exists? If you do, then why the quotation marks?

Compensation is part of the ROR. I have no problem with compensating them. But again, they have the CHOICE. If you're so scared of what they choose, then you obviously don't trust that one little study that told you most don't want to return. The ROR being number one on Hamas' list doesn't make sense to me. These people in Gaza are trying to survive, they barely even have contacts with the Palestinians in refugee camps in Lebanon. They've been disconnected from them for 50 years. Occupation is their main issue right now.

I may have issues with the UN, but I don't hate it. I think it's a step in the right direction. I support the UN Charter and International Law. Most of all, I support human rights, be they God given or not. Jews do have the right of return. I didn't say that there were agreements. The Arab puppet regimes don't won't grant them that right. But they do have the right. Even under UN resolution 194, they have it.

Yes I do accept a Jewish state, but I also insist on arrangements to solve the refugee problem based on the ROR and not negating it. Yes, this is contradictory, but it's gotta be solved.

The Occupier has a responsibility to not inflict collective punishment and carry out extrajudicial assassinations. The occupied also has a responsibility to stop suicide attacks. Just because the occupied is violating civilian life, doesn't mean the occupier should do so as well.

Putting quotation marks around a word shows that you don't believe that word is appropriate. Do I have to teach you English on this forum? Extreme Zionists don't believe that there is an occupation. They don't believe that Israeli terror exists. And you put quotation marks on both words.

You obviously don't believe in human rights or international law. You want people to forget about their human rights because someone else in in power now. Well, we don't give up so easily. Israel owns that land now. Okay, but give refugees the right to choose if they want compensation or return. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

IT is UNDERSTANDABLE and to them it has become necessary. I condemn both actions by these terrorists and state terrorists.... however, there are REASONS as to why these people are doing these horrible things...I dont justify it, but you cant deny their struggle and they feel this is a way to fight the oppressors....it has come to this level where people have gone insane to the point that they hate so much, they dont even care who they kill.

Youseem to just look at the ACT of terrorism and not WHY its done. Ignoring the root is actually the problem in this fiasco.

I dont know what palestinian said.. but i can assure you.. both the IDF and hamas are responsible for these young suicide bombers...whether indirect or direct..their affects,influece, and actions result in vulnerable and naive kids willing to blow themselves. Its a very complex issue, and you seem to be throwing out the multitude of factors that come into play.

Youfail to understand WHY these refugeees feel this way... it becuase the current situation in Israel and palestine are not so good.

Lets say Palestine was formed... and ISrael said...you guys can come back and try to re-establish yourselves in what you once called a homeland.. then i think much would change.

If Jews can flock to Israel,as they were "refugees" for thousands of years and see ISrael as " a right of return"... why do u think palestinians wont do the same if the desired option was given to them???

THEY DO HAVE A RIGHT OF RETURN! you cant just displace a people, force them out of their homes, claiming that your GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT grandfather used to live there. If the greeks came and conqured Iran 50 years ago becuase Alexander the great did the same thing thousands of years ago...and my parents were forced out of their home.. i would want my nationhood back. i would want to see on the world map an Iranian nation that I can call home. This is just exemplary.

If a native indian came to your doorstep and told you his great gradnfathers Tipee was here....would you leave??? IS that fair? Thats essentiallywhat the Zionists did to the palestinians in 1948.

Did you read what you wrote????? Occupation itself is disgusting and oppressive..IT IS ILLEGFAL.. it shoudnt even be taking place....how can you expect someone to respect you when you control every aspect of their lives and humiliate their existence???

You seem to be justifying occupation now by criticizing the actions of the occupied and giving the occupier "RIGHTS".

They have NO RIGHT to be there to begin with.

Rocks, sticks, and suicide bombers against the worlds 5th strongest miltary...nice war

I beleive the palestinians should FIGHT for their FREEDOM. Unfortunately... this is the reality of occupation....the Natives also killed children whent hey fought against the coloniasists. People become angry and desperate and insanity starts to kick in.. now youve got mafia like groups such as hamas gaining support becuase the palestinians are fed hate propaganda by people that ISrael helped bring into power unintentionally. Not only that.. but palestinians are brought up in hate and fear...many messed up children with dead uncles and brothers that have been shot for whatever reason.

If youve read his posts earlier... he has fully backed up his cases with links and quotes from respected sources. He is palestinian.. has lived in palestine... and has better knowledge about the plaesitnian mindset than probably most of us here.

I'm not a Zionist. I don't think the Israelis have a god-given right to a Jewish state, but I don't think the Palestinians have god-given rights to the territory either!


The palestinians do have a right to that land becuase they are and were the INDEGINOUS population for centuries. Please give your reasons as to why they dont deserve that land??


quote:

The point is, Israel owns the land NOW, they are in power NOW, and Palestine and the UN are basically bullying them into "sharing their toys." I don't condone violence on EITHER side. BOTH sides have plenty of blood on their hands. But your prejudice against the Israelis is totally obvious by the fact that you'll say anything just to cast the Palestinians in a positive light.


The point is...Israel is TRYING TO OWN MORE LAND.. by settling the west bank and GAzA, building a wall that digs deeper into palestinian land, and occupying a whole population.

Again.. he does not condone the suicide bombers...if you read his previous posts... he is against killing innocents.
Both sides do have plenty of blood.. but the israeli side has FOUR times more blood on their hands than the palestinians do.

quote:

Go ahead and launch whatever ad hominem attack you want against me - this is pointless, trying to have any rational discussion with you is about as fulfilling as the peace talks in the middle east, because everytime you don't like something you hear you go off on a rant about how we're all Zionist and Prejudiced.



In all honesty diginut, you seem to be doing the exact same thing. Your patronizing tone and demeanor is only a relfection of how you argue yourself. You try to use strong english to help strengthen your argument... but it still hasnt changed the validity of the content you presented.
