[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]

one more for you Victor before you post your evasion replay.
if we are concern so much about the right of the Palestinians to vote and choose, why are we not protesting against egypt, syria, jodan and such?
there are Palestinians in all those countries, and they are not allowed to vote.
explain to me the difference please
one more wonder about the fake outrage for Palestinians.
Arabs born in Israel have Israeli citizenships, not including east Jerusalem, where most Arabs there refused to except the citizenship.
however, in Jordan for instance, there are many many second and even third generation Palestinians, with no citizenships. same is in all Arab countries.
not one of the Palestinians supporters raised any concern about that fact and ofc no one argued that those are apartheid states.
are we really supporting Pa
no wait "palestinians" refugees don't want other citizenship or they would lose refugee status (with the accompanying $$).
It's not jordan refusing to make them citizens if they are born in a camp from refugee parents, it's the parents.

King Hussain refused to give citizenships to many Palestinians and even butchered many on black october.
King Abdallah did correct many of his father's actions, but did refuse citizenships to many, on different grounds.
there are also many who refused citizenship, but many more that were not granted one.
also, lol at your claim the Palestinians have the right to choose their government. have you ever contested for said right before the war? because the Palestinians in Gaza haven't had the right to choose for 17 years now. and in the west bank they never had the right. have you ever protested that?
also, you all ignored Clinton's speech on the offers that the Palestinians were given by Israel, and how they rejected them.
also, this claim really shows you know nothing about the conflict and about t
serial rapist Bill Clinton seems like a real honest broker
again, what Palestinians do in Palestine is up to them and not up to the Israelis. I understand why that is hard for a Western propagandized person to understand. I used to think like you when I was in high school.

as expected, total evasion.
just so I understand your stance- Israel is not allowed to intervene in Palestinian politics, but Hamas or Fatah are allowed to rule with no elections and by enforcing their rule by any means necessary?
Is that the "grown up" stance?

The second and 3rd generation thing in Jordan is disgusting. It's sole purpose is to continue the cause

Now that Israel has banned Unrwa (effective a few months from now) maybe this farce will end

Don't forget that many were given and accepted Jordanian citizenship in the 1950s, only to have Jordan take it away from them in 1967
they can try to set up a comprador occupation government but the Palestinians will continue to fight as is their right.
if Israel wanted peace, which ofc they dont, then they would **** off back to the 1967 borders.
when palestine continues to fight and doesn’t surrender they probably extend the timeline of their occupation more and more if international law was being applied correctly.
their “international rights” are hindering their development and ability to normalize relations.

why do you presume that Hamas and Fatah will "rule with no elections and by enforcing their rule by any means necessary"? seems like a pretty loaded question.

why do i presume this "unimaginable" scenario?
well, maybe based on 30 years of history...
is this even a real conversation? did I just enter bizzarro-land?

first of all the answer is yes. Palestinians can organize society however they see fit.
secondly, the last 30 years (and longer) were under brutal apartheid occupation blockade and mass murder.

there are so many fallacies in this, i cant even start.
but it is an appalling unhuman stance.
just to understand, did the communist in USSR had the right to organize society however they see fit, including murdering 60 millions +- to insure their ruling? and if not, please explain the difference?
and isnt the idea of democracy, among other things, is to make sure it is what most people see fit, and not only a minority with guns?
this is really a distorted world view man.

right I would not have supported invading and occupying USSR. and in fact I disagree with the world view of the people who did support it and actually do it.
Area C is militarized settler country and will stay that way. Area C winds in and around 165 West Bank cantons. So you have to go through a checkpoint to cross the street to the bakery.
false and Ill give you the same advice I gave Victor - learn history first.
the offer was to grant the Palestinians 94-96% of the West Bank, to keep the two major settled areas (around 4%) but to give 4% in another part (The Judean desert). most of area C was going to be a part of the Palestinian state.
allegedly, the offer was not rejected because of area C, but on the grounds of the two other main point of the conflict- Jerusalem and the right of return.
I stated allegedly, as although that was the formal reason given by Arafat, all the american and israeli negotiators claimed it was rejected as Arafat had no intent to sign a final peace agreement with Israel.
and guess what -it was proven to be true. when we entered and seized the Mukatah, we found formal orders from Arafat and others, claiming every agreement with Israel will only be a Hudna and never a peace agreement
Do I need to explain what is a Hudna?

No where do you deny that Area C divides the West Bank into contained cantons. The 6% Israel was to keep was all spread out like a snake.
And what happened after the ridiculous offers? The Oslo process was still underway, it just hadn't reached a final status agreement. What happened then? Likud ended Oslo. So it's a mendacious like to say the PLO torpedoed Oslo.
By the way Bill, if you want to put the blame on Israel for missing opportunities for peace, you do have many.
Let me help you:
1971-1973 - the Suleimani - Kissinger ordeal.
1986- the London initiative
2002- the arab league Initiative
you are welcome
