"Genocide Is Permissible" Muses Times Of Israel, Promptly Retracts

Does that right to exist apply to everyone? There have been Jews threatening to wipe the Arabs that live in the Middle East off the map for the last hundred years. Without the weapons and cash that we give to Israel this discussion wouldn’t even be happening.

Although there are bits of BS in this statement, I'll entertain it.

Every person has the right to live a free man in this world. Now, when you exercise your rights, liberties, freedoms, etc. to harm others, you should lose those rights and quite possibly your life, depending on the severity of your threat to others. The Palestinians crossed that line long ago.

BTW, Israelis weren't saying much 100 years ago.

Want to know what Israel can do on her own? 6 day war.

Did Israel build those weapons themselves or were they bought from other countries?

That is why i said Jews.

Which is all they need. Palestine isn't a country and is full of idiots that are animals that no other country would take.

I know it's not a country. All of this is because Israel failed miserably to assimilate its Palestinian citizens, and basically built a system of apartheid around an internal conflict. Does that legitimize Hamas's actions? Fuck no. As for it being all they need, that may be how they see things, but that road is going to run out faster than they think.

The Jews that immigrated into what was part of Jordan 100 years ago both legally and illegally are as much to blame for the conflict as are the Palestinian people. To blame the people who were indigenous to the region for not wanting people from foreign countries to come in and overtake them is ridiculous. It was the Jews who resorted to terroristic tactics because they were unhappy with the deal that the British had put together. If it hadn’t been for WWII I don’t think there would even be an Israel.

Why is it that the Palestinians should have assimilated into the Jewish culture? Even when the UN declared a Jewish state in the 40’s the Arab population was considerably higher than Jewish. That would be like saying we should assimilate into Mexican culture.

Bullshit, nothing keeps the conflict going like the extremists shooting rockets every damn day.

They don't, but they should've been assimilated into the state of Israel at a secular level. That is Israel's primary failing in this conflict. Also, for the most part, there wasn't a cohesive political union of Palestinians. They were a disparate group, so they were easy to displace. This is kind of the last place where the law of conquest has been granted legitimacy by the international community.

Wrong, the conflict continues because Israeli settlers continue to take land from the West Bank.

What country is the west bank in?

[YALE]

Israel agreed to dismantle a ton of settlements, and before the could make any headway, Hamas broke the cease-fire.

[cyclonescott]

I agree that there wasn’t a central government in Palestine and that is the main reason for most of the conflict, but it wasn’t just a bunch of goat herders roaming around also. There were more than 700,000 Arabs living in the region who were starting to build modern cities.
Hamas is an extremist croup that was partially created by Israel to combat the PLO. Just like everything else the agreement to dismantle settlements came with strings attached.

[CJ]

Palestinians and HAMAS crave war, they do not want peace. When they get it they cry foul. The never ending game.

You are right, it keeps going because some people move onto some land, it has nothing to do with guys shooting rockets randomly into cities. lol

If you had squatters in your back yard, would you leave them alone? Would you ignore them when they throw rocks through your window?
