Jokerman said:Yeah, that's amazing how gentle Israel is with these people considering what they've been going through with suicide bombings. Thanks for the proof of Israel's relative kindness.
The desperation of the Palestinians leads to suicide bombings.. desperation caused by the persecution they suffer on a daily basis from the Zionist Israelis.
Morris said:Palestinian have been attacking Jews in that region since the 1920s, before Israel was created. They were bombing Israelis since the 1940s, 20 years before Israel occupied the West Bank or Gaza Strip.
no they were not attacking jews since the 1920's. There existed some trouble, (coming from extremist jews) but all in all in all there was cohesion between the two communities.
occupying land illegal (under UN resolutions),
using illegal weapons and ammunition (Dum dum bullets banned under UN resolution),
killed, persecuted and humiliated for being arabs.
The brave Palestinians without the 3 billion dollars a year funding from america are limited to their gurrella type techniques.
Morris said:This is not true. You won't find a UN resolution that makes Israel's occupation of the territories illegal.
UN resolution 242; It calls for the "withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict" and the "termination of all claims or states of belligerency".
but yet i see no mention of the bombing of the King David hotel which killed innocent people, jews, brits and arab alike. No Jew's would never resort to such terrorist acts!
Morris said:UN Resolution 242 calls for the withdrawal of Israel to secure and defensible borders. Notice that the resolution doesn't call on Israel to withdraw from all of the territories it had occupied. Also, the resolution calls for a withdrawal in conjunction with its enemies recognizing their sovereignty.
First of all, nobody would mistake the pre 1967 borders for being secure and defensible. Second of all, the PLO and Arab world rejected 242 and the Palestinians still haven't recognized Israeli sovereignty.
UN Resolution 242 doesn't call on Israel to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Otherwise it would have specifically mentioned a withdrawal to the Armistice lines (the pre 1967 borders).
Khaled said:What amazes me is that some Jews still wonder why people hate them.
dude, that shits just an issue of semantics. it's all up for contention.
Resolution 242, which as undersecretary of state for political affairs between 1966 and 1969 I helped produce, calls on the parties to make peace and allows Israel to administer the territories it occupied in 1967 until "a just and lasting peace in the Middle East" is achieved. - Eugene V. Rostow
The notable omissions - which were not accidental - in regard to withdrawal are the words "the" or "all" and the "June 5, 1967 lines" ... the resolution speaks of withdrawal from occupied territories without defining the extent of withdrawal. [This would encompass] less than a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from occupied territory, inasmuch as Israel's prior frontiers had proved to be notably Insecure. - U.S. Ambassador to the UN Arthur Goldberg
It would have been wrong to demand that Israel return to its positions of June 4, 1967, because those positions were undesirable and artificial. After all, they were just the places where the soldiers of each side happened to be on the day the fighting stopped in 1948. They were just armistice lines. That's why we didn't demand that the Israelis return to them. - Lord Caradon, British Ambassador to the UN
