My Imaginary GF posted:Their neighbors are much worse, and yet you don't see Palestinians criticizing them for their crimes. Gee, maybe the terrorist actions of Hamas and Palestinians are rooted in antisemitism? Certainly this whole wave of knifings in Israel is. People are most likely to criticize crimes they're the victim of. Israel complaining that nobody seems to care about how awful things are in the rest of the Middle East (as though people aren't also concerned about that too) is international-grade concern trolling. If anything, Palestinians could be commended for their history of expressing solidarity with other oppressed peoples, like the Irish or the Ferguson protesters. Although engaging you at all is counterproductive, as from your posting history I almost get the feeling you're engaged in an elaborate troll to make Israel look bad by saying whatever it takes to keep arguments spinning and the status quo in place while the Palestinians gradually get ground down in the meantime. The current situation being what it is, all of our debating is especially useless since unless something major changes Israel will continue to make a Palestinian state impossible one settlement at a time. It makes it hard to believe the sincerity of strong pro-zionists when all they really need to do is stall for time. Dolash fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Dec 17, 2015 |

I don't know much about the embassy issue apart from the obvious bit that it'd be a symbolic gesture in favour of Israel done over the protest of the Palestinians, but there's been plenty of gestures like that before and I'm not sure what the obvious tit-for-tat response is that leads to some sort of chain reaction. If anything, if the Palestinians are provoked to respond aggressively to the news that would probably be Israel's perfect opportunity to test out how much more leeway the Trump administration will give them compared to Obama.

Ultramega posted:I'm guessing this is going to mean israel eventually absorbing west bank residents and giving them a veneer of citizenship because there's no way in hell they're going to get away with straight-up ethnic cleansing via massive deportation without worldwide condemnation. Would be one hell of a way for Trump and Netanyahu to destract from their respective crises though!
