Israel is treating the Palestinians as bad as they were treated in the long years of the early 1940's?

Question

Please read this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6127250.stm

This is for: joecseko
The question was rhetorical. The question mark prob. also should have given it away. Anyway what is wrong with a "political statement"? Have we lost freedom of speech in Spain ? Look to answer your question. How long can the Israeli's continue killing innocent people in their "eye for an eye" attitude ?

The solution is simple.

GIVE THE PALESTINIANS A HOME-LAND THEY CAN BE PROUD OF.

You will see the violence drop away to nothing after that.

My 2-year old niece understands this for God's sake.

For elaeblue: The Palestinians have always lived right where they are now. So a small leap of logic would suggest to me that the land be at least in the same vicinity. Israel says "God gave them this land". Do you honestly think God wants them to keep a whole other nation in bondage ? I don't think so. The intransigence of Israel is shockingly bad.

Answer 1

They have already been doing so for so long, but the whole world simply accepts it when they REGRET their action, as if the Palestinian lives are worthless. I wonder if their regret will bring back the dead or ease the pain of a mother who lost a child, a wife who lost a husband, a child who lost a father, etc etc etc.
Thank you for caring.

Answer 2

Control of press, TV and other news sources have given U.S. a skewed image of the struggle. What Israel has done to the Palestinian people is one of the greatest injustices of the modern world.

In many ways their thinking parallels fascist integral nationalism of the 20's and 30's: the land is theirs (warranty deed from Yahweh) so they are entitled to do anything to "regain" it. The West Bank has become the Sudetenland taken by the Nazis to begin Hitler's expansion. Horrible!!

And who has jails bulging with prisoners who have never been charged and never will be released? Who for years routinely tortured prisoners? To be an enemy of Israel opens anyone, even actors or activists, to unrelenting viscous and ungoverned attacks.

Bush learned much from Israeli practices. He imagines that dealing with terrorist as the Israeli deal with Palestinians will solve our problems. Any fool can see that Israel has not and never will eradicate the hatred they have engendered, and while that endures, they will enjoy a precarious safety only as long as the U.S. sustains them. That sustenance will inevitably end, and when it does, so will the "home land." The cycle of the Diaspora will unavoidably be repeated at some time in the long, long future.

Answer 3

Well I don't see a question there anywhere,but there's a huge difference between what's happening now and the out right genocide in the 40's.Can you phrase this in the form of a question rather than a political statement?I see no relationship between the two events you speak of.If Israel wanted to wipe the Palestinians out it would have been so by now.
It's important not to discount the fact that Palestinians have been murdering innocent people through terrorist bombings and so on.
Edit.
Great!That's what we need on this site is more political rhetoric and Spam web links.

Answer 4

Maybe your two year old could tell us what land we should give them. Who shall we take it away from? Should it be in the mid east or maybe we send them across the globe? We wouldnt be in this mess if everyone had not got together to "give" Israel a homeland. So now if we start to "give" land to every different denomination then we have real division not unity.

Answer 5

Joecseko - The cruelty done by the Israeli govt has given Palestinians a reason to react in such a way. People like us will never truly feel what they feel in such a desperate situation.

Answer 6

Yes, they are.
The only thing the Israelis have not done yet is to organize the concentration camps.

Answer 7

Nothing new in that case, it has always been like this
