| Ms Bond All well and good banging on about 'apartheid' regarding Israel - a country where Arabs can and many do take Israeli citizenship and whose Parliament contains Arab members. This is a feeble student buzz word response perhaps to those that use 'genocide' when looking at the overall historical context of the current dispute and Israel's response to it. However I note that as a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause and its pleas for a 'homeland' you and others like you do not seem to know what the Palestinians want in practicable terms. You nor anyone else has answered my questions below I posed earlier. 'But I have lost track of what the Palestinians are actually asking for and what compromises they are willing to make to gain it. 1) Although the areas that they have governance of have been rocked recently by IDF responsive attacks in Gaza and settler incursion in the West Bank, assuming that in time these disturbances are resolved what further land masses do they claim to be part of Palestine ? 2) Who represents 'the average Palestinian' and do they and their leaders accept the right of the state of Israel to exist within its current borders ? 3) Hamas does not accept point 2) but are they truly representative of the Palestinians and their views ? 4) If Hamas does represent the views of the majority of Palestinians especially over the right of Israel to exist, is there any hope of a peaceful settlement or will Israel have to wage a defensive war indefinitely ? |
