or will you assert this is evidence that the Zionists are just sitting back and letting the Palestinian population expand so there will be more to slaughter in the future?

Isn't there a quote from an IDF or government official calling their operations in Gaza "mowing the lawn" or am I getting my fascists mixed up.

Of course there was widespread ethnic cleansing and that's a matter of historical record. There was plenty of that going the other way too, like expelling Jews from what became East Jerusalem. Points about historical injustice don't really have great bearing on what's a proper policy for today. Especially since the land itself, if not all world history, has an epic record of mass ethnic cleansings, so giving any of them any special weight is arbitrary. Do what makes practical sense in the year 2017.

Looking forward to reading this post again next year with the date changed.

Would the Palestinians accept a state that consists of all of the West Bank except for Jerusalem and Gaza, with no right of return and no special transit rights trough sovereign Israeli territory?

Probably not, which is why the conflict will continue.

Israel is and always has been an apartheid state. Zionism has many strains, and the strain that is practiced in Israel is the Jewish Supremacist one.

I can't tell if there's supposed to be a part two to that or what, loving imgur.

Morally superior position is wanting the least-cost highest-value outcome as soon as possible regardless of the distribution of sorrows. It's not like anyone has a horse in this race, and even if you do, you should bet on the fastest one.

If you favor a tribe like in a football match, then you are a bad.

So what's the easiest way to get the Palestinians out that doesn't get a US/UN kibosh? Maybe we can crowdfund support for Isis in the West Bank (Kickstarter hell cannons, AirBnB homes, Uber day jobs). If Palestinians can't get the terror up then someone else can. Maybe bankroll some dudes in Gaza to fly to the USA and mass shoot a football stadium. Maybe volunteer as a teacher in PA because the current ones aren't promoting nearly enough militancy? Kids know that the Jews killed Farfour but they just do nothing about it. Then Israel teams up with Trump in the war on rooting out bad dudes. The odd Palestinian teen will fight and the odd rocket will fall on Megadim and it would only take one really cute Israeli girl to die on camera to deus vult the dimittenda determinata.

Palestinians join their arab brothers in the fast growing professions of displaced person and international refugee. Then they are Germany's problem.

This thread can finally close after this thousands-page circular gripe-fest. You, regular posters, have lost a lot of resources yourself. Most of you live in real places and you speak (or at least write) a real language; your time is more valuable than this issue, even if you work at Safeway. If I don't know what I'm talking about than please tell me how to fix this. I won't actually do anything but it will bring psychological closure and I will thank you.

Conveniently pretty much anything counts as "terrorist infrastructure" if you stretch the definition enough. Or just don't give a poo poo in the first place.

e: It occurs to me that's the whole point as like 60% of the google hits for that phrase are justifying the IDF blowing poo poo up and another 30% are justifying blowing poo poo up in Pakistan. Technically terrorists use electricity and sewer systems though, right? :thunk:

However, an Israeli official has conceded to the BBC that the attitude when compiling a catalogue of allowed items into Gaza - cinnamon was allowed, for example, while coriander was not - may not have been rational.

"We never understood why the Ministry of Defence actually forbade coriander to enter Gaza," Israeli Foreign Ministry Yigal Palmor told the BBC's Newshour programme.

"It did reflect some kind of petty interference with items that seemed of little note."
