"small land swaps", sure, the Palestinians know what that effectively means: Israel grabbing East Jerusalem and further valuable land in exchange for tiny stretches of worthless land somewhere in the desert.Um, accepting Israel as a sovereign state and agreeing on borders with small land swaps?
I don't like settlement expansion (though keep in mind a few of those settlements were there pre 1948), but they aren't a dealbreaker for establishing a state. All the disconnected ones would be gone in a peace proposal.
As for Gaza, you act as if present state was how it always was. Not so. Things got worse in 2007 after you know who was voted into power.
It's impractical, but I'd love for international forces to just take over the management of Palestinian lands and relieve Israel of the blame. Let them stop Hamas from launching rockets every day.
And if they suceed removing the terrorism, then absolutely Palestinians should have a state, I don't care what Israel thinks.
Europe is so confident that Palestinians are just oppressed and will be peaceful without Israel occupation, let them handle it.
WOW, I guess that is why the Northern Ireland conflict was settled so fast (just a mere 30 years) with virtually no loss of life, since rational Christians were on both sides of the conflict. I think this has everything to do with the Israel not allowing the Palestinians to live as free people rather being treated as we treated the American Indians in the late 1800's.But hypothetically if you replace the current Muslim population with any other non-Muslim society or ethnicity in Gaza - Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Chinese, you name it - peace would be restored in an instant.
What I outlined is a surest way forward for peace and prosperity. Israel is not interested in occupying and annexing the strip. Israel is not interested in colonizing and ruling over Gaza. They want to be left alone and live in peace. And Gazans can make that happen and bring prosperity to themselves.
But I would bet my first born, there is zero probability of that happening. It is not in their DNA. Never in the history have Muslim societies lived in peace and harmony with their neighbors.
It's really impressive how you can vent Islamophobia and openly racist statements here without suffering any consequences. It's quite comparable to the situation at US universities, where you obviously do enjoy freedom of speech, just as long as you voice the opnions that politicians, administrators and donors want to hear.
It's not even worth it to enter into a rational debate wirh someone who holds such opinions. .
To put it bluntly, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has put his country’s worst religious extremists in jail, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has put his country’s worst religious extremists in his cabinet.
Since Saudi doesn’t have to have elections and can imprison who it feels like....that is a disingenuous comparisonWeird how with the increasing hate against Israel, Saudi Arabia is becoming the more "rational" nation state in the Middle East.
Israel and Saudi Arabia Are Trading Places
Just more stalling. Hamas has not run anything through Israel - so no clue what the conditions are.Who knows what's true, but if this is, it means Hamas blinked first.
Hamas accepts cease-fire proposal for Gaza after Israel orders Rafah evacuation ahead of attack
According to this article it is just half a dozen clueless protestors. While they all claim they are not anti-Semitic, just anti-Israel, they protest at a ceremony commemorating the mass murder of 6 million Jews which occurred during a time that Israel didn't exist.Reminder that a big chunk of the pro-Palestinian protesters are absolute dirt-bag anti-Semites.
Now they are protesting at Auschwitz? For real?

UK and much of Europe has changed beyond recognition. Very soon you will see no-go zones in UK and Europe with Sharia enforced.. America should learn from Europe, but I doubt they will.I have loads of German relatives and have visited the country several times. Was shocked the last time I went to Frankfurt for a train connection, thought I stopped in Riyadh.

If and when I see Muslim leaders around the world condemn the genocide of Christians in Armenia and decimation of Hindu populations in Pakistan & Bangladesh, where Muslims are the perpetrators, only then they earn the moral right to demand support for Palestine cause.
The often used qualification for Gaza as an 'Open air prison' is quite strange. Quite a prison it is, where the Gazans had hospitals, schools, luxury car showrooms, beach hotels, high end restaurants, and built tens of kms of tunnels, where they were able to smuggle and build thousands of rockets and crude bombs. And don't forget millions of dollars of aid that poured in.
Oct 7th requires a firm and strong response that the Gazans should never again think of another attack. If the world wants lasting peace, then they should force the Palestinians to throw Hamas out completely, return the hostages, pledge to remove hatred of Jews from their psyche and adopt the attitude of live & let-live. Only that will bring peace.
On Hamas leadership, the less said the better. This sarcastic video drives home that point.
Mainstream Christians and Jews will openly criticize and police their extremist versions, which remain relatively rare and comparatively harmless. Mainstream Muslims refuse to police their extremist versions, which are active and very harmful. Few Muslims or former Muslims will speak out forcefully against the extremists — Ayaan Hursi Ali and Maajid Nawaz do. If there were more of them, the world would be a much better place as more Muslims might moderate their inclination to behead infidels.That doesn't make all Muslims extremists nor terrorists. Most are just trying to live their lives like everyone else in the world.
Agreed. The Saudis are a dictatorship that spreads radical and terrorist Islam and pollutes the world.Since Saudi doesn’t have to have elections and can imprison who it feels like....that is a disingenuous comparison
Hamas did not blink. They lied to their people and got them to dance in the streets, to cynically keep keep civilian human shields in Rafah as Israel moves in, and to cynically convince the brain dead antisemites that Israel is the aggressor here.Who knows what's true, but if this is, it means Hamas blinked first.

It's not stalling. They launched rockets and murdered Jews as they made the announcement. See above. Now both land crossings are shut, even as well fed Palestinians cheer and celebrate in the streets. Useful idiots. Human shields by choice. It's a tragedy.Just more stalling. Hamas has not run anything through Israel - so no clue what the conditions are.
