Hamas strike on Israel

Would you support the Comanche's marching into Austin Texas, kicking in doors, stealing peoples houses and farms? I'm sure the Texans would role over and accept it. They were only displaced off their land 150 years ago, surely they've a stronger right to return to their land than some Belarusian or Ukrainian has to Palestine. I hope your beginning to see how ridiculous the whole premise of right of return is.

People defended apartheid SA also until they didn't.

Ah here. Seriously? That's your answer?

Have a look at the original. You ignored it and carried on answering other questions and so I replied to your most recent post at that time with a screenshot of my original question to you, as a way I suppose of making sure you saw it this time.

The original question was in reply to your post inferring Jews can not be colonists in their own land, it was a pertinent question considering they are stealing and occupying land in the West Bank for decades. It is a perfectly legitimate question, that you were asked to answer and you refused and now claim it is because you didn't like the way the question was asked. In fact, I daresay it had nothing to do with how the question was asked, and more to do with the fact that you are perfectly OK with the illegal settlements in the West Bank, but you are not willing to come out and say that.

As another poster said, you will argue and deflect all day long but when you are put on the spot and asked for a categorical yes or no, you cannot do it. Your pathetic response here is evidence of that.

The hoops some people will jump through to on this thread to attempt to justify the unjustifyable is shameful. Again, your credibility is in tatters.

Israel has effectively paved its own path to a single state. I mean its been touted here that its the Palestinians who never miss an opportunity to miss and opportunity, said by an Israeli of course when its actually them who's missed the opportunity.

I mean sure, they are a state at the moment but their reluctance to define their own borders, as doing that makes its harder to create a greater Israel, as well as a refusal to give the Palestinians anything, much less a state of their own, has actually meant they've claimed all the land that will become the future state of whatever, whether its Palestine/Israel or whatever they want to call it, by expanding illegally. It's actually them whose ensured a single state is the only solution when they could have actually had their own ethno-state recognized in the Middle East. A sizeable portion of them are starting to realize they've actually shot themselves in the foot.

Well most people look back at those times and think that they happened, we should learn from them, and it should not be repeated in modern times. That was the mindset that culminated, at the end of a very long period of colonization, in both world wars and of course the holocaust. The western world, for the most part, has been decolonizing since then

For people to now be arguing that this is somehow different, or that because Jewish people had at one stage lived in an area 2000 years ago means people who it is impossible to prove are their descendants can steal the land from the people living there today (who may be their actual descendants) is absolutely bonkers.

They would not apply that very same logic to any people's or any other country in the world (unless, as my intuition tells me, it's white people taking over a Muslim land).

At this stage, I think Danzy and Blanch are more intent on getting a reaction than productive input.

I thought the same myself over the last 2 or 3 days. Just flailing like a flagging boxer at this stage, refusing to reply when pressed and going around in circles making themselves dizzy. Its not even coherent any more.

The USA is hugely to blame here also. They are enabling Israel by offering unconditional support, no matter what. They are allowing Israel to act more and more violently and unhinged. It's doing neither any good as Israel is on the path to self destruction by becoming a warmongering pariah state and the USA has lost any shred of good will or standing in the world.

It just goes to show the influence AIPAC and Israel has on US politics that they have steered their foreign policy to such an extent that they're doing irrepairable damage to themselves. Can you imagine historians looking back on this in 100 years…

I take issue with Syria on this list. Would you hope nobody bombs Syria and the druze get genocided? Speaking of, surely there's a big march in Dublin planned to end the massacres?

Ye have been saying the exact same thing since Oct 7th, yet never offer a way out or forward.

My sympathy for the Gazans ran out a long time ago. Palestinian society is as rotten as Taliban supporters, some times you just got to pick the good guys

Turkey installed Jolani
