| Mr Cairns What 'Palestinian land' does Israel illegally occupy. It seems to me that Israel occupies the land allocated to it by the UN at the end of the British Mandate. (see Wikipedia below). And the Palestinians have their territories. It is just sad that they do not have the wit or energy to make anything of them. Or are you saying that Jews have no right to have a state and live in this part of the Middle East ? If I remember my school RE lessons aright, Jews have resided in this part of the world for millennia. And Israel is a legitimate state recognised by the UN and most countries of the world. It is multi-cultural where Arabs also have citizenship and elected members of the Knesset. From Wikipedia - 'The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a proposal by the United Nations, which recommended a partition of Mandatory Palestine at the end of the British Mandate. On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted the Plan as Resolution 181. The resolution recommended the creation of independent Arab and Jewish States linked economically and a Special International Regime for the city of Jerusalem and its surroundings. The Arab state was to have a territory of 11,100 square kilometres or 42%, the Jewish state a territory of 14,100 square kilometres or 56%, while the remaining 2%—comprising the cities of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and the adjoning area—would become an international zone. The Partition Plan, a four-part document attached to the resolution, provided for the termination of the Mandate, the gradual withdrawal of British armed forces and the delineation of boundaries between the two States and Jerusalem. Part I of the Plan stipulated that the Mandate would be terminated as soon as possible and the United Kingdom would withdraw no later than 1 August 1948. The new states would come into existence two months after the withdrawal, but no later than 1 October 1948. The Plan sought to address the conflicting objectives and claims of two competing movements, Palestinian nationalism and Jewish nationalism, or Zionism. The Plan also called for Economic Union between the proposed states, and for the protection of religious and minority rights. While Jewish organizations collaborated with UNSCOP during the deliberations, the Palestinian Arab leadership boycotted it'. I do have to smile when Palestinian fellow travellers and keyboard warriors start calling Israelis 'Nazis'. You perhaps do not know that the term Nazi is used to define German antisemites whose plan was to obliterate the Jewish race and did in fact succeed in reducing it in number by 6,000,000+. However you probably deny this occurred and is just another example of Israeli unsubstantiated 'black propaganda' as you also think are the reports from the vast majority of the world's media of the Hamas atrocities of 7th October 2023. I end with a serious question. As both Israelis and Palestinians live in this part of the world what would your resolution of the conflict be to create 'piece in that region' ? |
