| Ms Bond Yet another selective net trawl which you use to equate some driving inconvenience for Palestinians with the genocidal pogrom Hamas, their terrorist group, perpetrated on the Jews in October 2023. In all honesty I think you believe this was justified for I have never seen you condemn it with anything like the foaming wrath you save for the condemnation of all actions, including driving restrictions, Israel feels necessary to carry out in order to protect itself. Everyone knows that Arabs and Jews have claimed territorial rights and co-habited the landmass that is now recognised as Israel and Palestine for millennia. Not always amicably of course but with each party having a reasonable case. You seem to think the dispute started recently but then of course your reading of history, ancient and modern, seems to be coloured by a hatred of Jews and an unfathomable belief that Arabs have sole rights to the territory and have been uniquely and sorely treated over that time. From where in this territory do you think the Palestinian Arabs have been displaced ? Is that not what the Arabs have been trying to do to the Jews and still are ? Eventually, the UN and 'grown up countries' proposed an equitable solution. 'As of June 2024, the State of Israel is recognized as a sovereign state by 164 of the other 192 member states of the United Nations, or approximately 85% of all UN members. The State of Israel was formally established by the Israeli Declaration of Independence on 14 May 1948, and was admitted to the United Nations (UN) as a full member state on 11 May 1949. It also maintains bilateral ties with all of the UNSC Permanent Five. 28 member states have either never recognized Israel or have withdrawn their recognition; others have severed diplomatic relations without explicitly withdrawing their recognition. Additionally, many non-recognizing countries have challenged Israel's existence—predominantly those in the Muslim world—due to significant animosity stemming from the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the Arab–Israeli conflict.' Please answer the following - 1) do you accept the UN resolution ? 2) do you accept Israel has the right to exist as a sovereign state based on this resolution ? 3) if not what should happen to its inhabitants and citizens ? 4) how in terms of geography and politics would you define the state of Palestine ? 5) who do you think should govern Palestine ? Please, please, please let's put this argument to bed by you giving us all some strait answers and not just childish factoids taken from obscure sources. |
