In any debate at university, when a Zionist was out of arguments, those three magic words were invoked to shut down the conversation with an outraged, are you saying Israel doesnt have the right to exist??
I can see that.
Of course you couldnt challenge Israels right to exist that was like saying you were negating a fundamental Jewish right to have
rights, with all manner of Holocaust guilt thrown in for effect.
The author is conflating the issue of Palestine as the Jewish National Home with the Holocaust.
The cold-blooded program of ethnically cleansing Europe of its Jewish population has been so callously and opportunistically utilized to justify the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian Arab nation -
This is make-believe.
What a fantastical idea, this notion that a bunch of rank outsiders from another continent could appropriate an existing, populated nation for themselves
Except that the Jews were following the wishes of the last Ottoman Caliph.
There is only one possible conclusion here: given the indisputable facts rather than empty propaganda, the Jews of Israel are
entirely guiltless for having settled and created their Jewish State.
But what is truly frightening is the psychological manipulation of the masses into believing that Palestinians are somehow dangerous terrorists intent on driving Jews into the sea.
What of the Charters of Hamas and the PLO? What of the vow of their leaderships that if they have their way
not one Jew will remain in Palestine?
Then there is the language that preserves "Israel's Right To Exist" unquestioningly: anything that invokes the Holocaust, anti-Semitism and the myths about historic Jewish rights to the land bequeathed to them by the Almighty as though God was in the real-estate business.
The return of Jews to Israel can be justified on both religious and secular grounds. Note that the ultimate reasons offered by Arabs for destroying the Jews of Palestine is entirely religious or race-related.
the premise is wrong...Israel is the problem...Israel is the Occupier and Oppressor; Palestinians are the Occupied and Oppressed.
Except it's ALL BALONEY!
What about ALL the land, property and rights?
What about all the land Jews dearly bought in Palestine and elsewhere from Arabs?
Israel craves recognition of its right to exist.
For the Arabs to cease their genocidal battle they have to acknowledge - publicly to the Israelis as well as privately to themselves - that the existence of Israel is morally correct and just.
Strip away the spin and the gloss, and you quickly realize that Israel doesnt even have the basics of a normal state. After 64 years, it doesnt have borders.
Borders are determined between neighbors. Peace is the solution.
Israel is a failed experiment. It is on life-support pull those three plugs and it is a cadaver, living only in the minds of some seriously deluded foreigners who thought they could pull off the heist of the century.
Pakistanis can visit and see for themselves how much of a "cadaver" Israel is.
Naysayers can take a hike. Our patience is wearing thinner than the walls of the hovels that Palestinian refugees have called home for three generations in their purgatory camps...These universally exploited refugees are entitled to the nice apartments the ones that have pools downstairs and a grove of palm trees outside the lobby.
Only "Palestinians" are defined as refugees in the third generation.
The truth of the matter? She's descended from rejectionists who violently revolted. In my opinion and in Ottoman law, they thus surrendered their civil and property rights. The welfare they receive is a mercy and not their
right.
At this particular precipice in the 21st century, we are all, universally, Palestinian undoing this wrong is a test of our collective humanity, and nobody has the right to sit this one out.
Yes. She's just on the wrong side of the battle, that's all.
Palestine will be less painful than Israel ever was.
A population militarized and imbued with hatred from kindergarten will doubtless become a threat to all its neighbors.
The principle of Jewish National home doesn't mean that all Jews all over the world have to immigrate to Palestine...Limiting the number of Jews who would immigrate to Palestine doesn't mean that such principle wouldn't be fulfilled.
How was the rest sophistry?
Mandate Palestine's primary purpose was to serve as a refuge for the world's oppressed Jews. The experience of the White Paper at preventing Europe's Jews from immigrating during WWII so they perished in the Holocaust instead proved conclusively that this role couldn't be fulfilled with the Brits as Trustee and would be abrogated with murder and violence at the hands of the Arabs. Independence was the only responsible route.
Note that it was the VIOLENCE OF THE ARABS which compelled the Brits to issue the White Paper. When you hear Arab claims that they had nothing to do with the Holocaust, why don't you keep that in mind?
Oh and for the demolition of Palestinian homes and infrastructure :
More context-free stuff, or at least links provided without context. Why didn't you learn from the OP that you can't trust or ethically prove anything that way?
