Never mind that the Arab states surrounding Israel mostly engage in political discourse and negotiations instead of violent aggression. Those countries have avoided any recent conflicts because they have stayed within their own borders, having learned from their past adventurism that attacking Israel achieves nothing but self-destruction, a diminution in their own borders, the loss of military capacity, and embarrassment on the world stage. Iran is still figuring that one out, as are the Houthis.

The Palestinians can try to re-fight the Israeli war for independence over and over again, obtaining the same results they did in 1948. You can cheer them on from the sidelines where it's safe, but encouraging them is to urge them to continue further aggravate their hopeless state of affairs.

Please suggest civilized ways currently available to the Palestinians to resist land grab and settlement expansion. I’ll wait.

Renounce terror to start with and go from there. Nothing will change as long as terror is the exclusive foreign policy pursued by the Palestinians. It matters not what alternatives they are offered, they consistently choose terror in the utterly absurd hope that such a path will result in the disappearance of Israel and its population and the return to the status quo ante of 1947, assuming they found the British Mandate a suitable form of governance and wouldn't complain just as much about that. The sheer imbecility of this course of action is astounding - no rational person could possibly conclude, after 75 years of failed efforts, that this is a viable path forward or that it forms the basis for a useful foreign policy and path to peaceful engagement with anyone.

The assertions here that terror is the only option available is equally idiotic - doing the same thing over and over and over, obtaining the same result over and over and over, and urging more of the same is irrational as well as ineffective. It's time for a change, and that change is not gong to be Israel packing up and dissolving itself, it has to be the Palestinians recognizing that trying to address their grievances through a corrupt government and terrorism is not only unproductive but affirmatively self-destructive. Trying a path without terrorism can only be an improvement, although that requires a rejection of sponsorship by Iran, which uses terror as an instrument of their own foreign policy. They do that through proxies like Hamas, to try to insulate themselves from direct retaliation but have no objections when their surrogates get hammered instead.

If the Palestinians reject terror, prospects for peace would increase exponentially. Continue to embrace terror, and the Palestinians will continue on a path towards obliteration, all while sympathizers decry the situation. The Palestinians can end the violence this moment by rejecting Hamas and all it stands for, and ensuring the release of the hostages. Or they can keep on keeping on. it's up to them - Hamas attacked on Oct. 7, not the IDF.

And when is Israel going to reject terror? What do you think the assault on Palestinians in the West Bank is, if not terror. There are over three-quarters of a million Israeli settlers illegally occupying the West Bank, the Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem. They stole Palestinian homes and land through terrorism, which is at least in part sponsored by the state of Israel. What do you think happened to the Palestinians who were attacked and evicted from their homes.

Are you genuinely blind to your own hypocrisy? Or do you actually think Palestinians have less value than Jews, so it's acceptable to erase them and to take what is theirs?

Israel is not going to reject their version of state sponsored terror and the Palestinians cannot defeat it militarily. They need to change the paradigm if they want to "win".

In other words, the Palestinians need to shut up and accept being slowly evicted or exterminated as their land and possessions are stolen and they are inexorably erased.

This kind of "might is right" thinking doesn't work when one no longer has the might, as Nazi Germany and Bashar al-Assad found out. There are good reasons for having an international rule of law.

No. But if they don't want that to happen then they need to change their strategy because what they've been doing hasn't been working.

Yet. Hitler and Assad eventually fell. The house of cards can collapse very quickly, and Israel's racist, colonial regime will fall apart as world opinion continues to turn against it. There'll come a tipping point when the current system of apartheid is unsustainable, just as happened in South Africa.

It won't and even if it did there's no one in Palestine capable of picking up the pieces. The world doesn't do anything because the Palestinians are as big a group of aholes as the Israelis. It's the same story every decade.

Palestinians have been doing the same thing forever. From the Munich Olympics to Black September to 10/7, the only thing Palestinians seem to know is terrorism. Which is why Palestinians have no support anywhere these days. It's a problem. Palestinians should maybe think about a different strategy.

From the King David Hotel bombing to the Deir Yassin and countless other village massacres; from the Bombing of the USS Liberty to 75+ years of non-stop brutal subjugation and apartheid conditions that have created hundreds of 10/7s for the Palestinian people, the only thing the Israelis seem to know is systemic terrorism.

It’s in their DNA.

(What’s not in their DNA, ironically, is evidence of indigeneity to the Middle East region)

Anyone involved with the King David hotel bombing in 1946 has been dead for decades.

Meanwhile, the entire world needs to deal with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and all the other Palestinian terrorists today.

It's a problem.

It's not a surprise that neighboring countries like Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia want nothing to do with Palestinians. I genuinely don't understand Palestinian strategy at all.

It's not that Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia don't want anything to do with Palestinians. They know if they allow them in as refugees, it's over for those Palestinians, and they will never be able to return to their lands, which will be stolen by fascist Zionists.

This is an edifying but chilling documentary:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExkOxmMMwSM

It is about the Deir Yassin massacre, committed by Zionist terrorists from Irgun and Lehi with support from Hagganah. It's quite sickening listening to those horrible old men bragging about how well terrorism and violence worked for them in enabling them to steal land, and how proud they were to kill women and children.

I would love to hear some present-day Zionists condemn THOSE terrorists the same way they condemn Hamas. Should these Zionist terrorists not also be referred to as "human animals"? Should they not also have been demonized and denounced and denied food, water, and military care? Would the same people enthusing about Palestinian prisoners being raped in Israeli jails believe these Zionist terrorists deserve to be raped too? Or are they just too racist to consider the parallels?

I genuinely dont understand Israeli strategy at all. The West Bank was a demilitarized Palestinian government and they did nothing to legitimize it. They ask for terrorists.

Really? Their strategy seems pretty clear. Expand the territory they physically control and incentivize emigration. Any violent act in response then provides an excuse to increase those measures.

What I don't understand is why Palestinians fall into the same trap every time.

The Palestinians can try to re-fight the Israeli war for independence over and over again, obtaining the same results they did in 1948. You can cheer them on from the sidelines where it's safe, but encouraging them is to urge them to continue further aggravate their hopeless state of affairs.

Please suggest civilized ways currently available to the Palestinians to resist land grab and settlement expansion. I’ll wait.

Renounce terror to start with and go from there. Nothing will change as long as terror is the exclusive foreign policy pursued by the Palestinians. It matters not what alternatives they are offered, they consistently choose terror in the utterly absurd hope that such a path will result in the disappearance of Israel and its population and the return to the status quo ante of 1947, assuming they found the British Mandate a suitable form of governance and wouldn't complain just as much about that. The sheer imbecility of this course of action is astounding - no rational person could possibly conclude, after 75 years of failed efforts, that this is a viable path forward or that it forms the basis for a useful foreign policy and path to peaceful engagement with anyone.

The assertions here that terror is the only option available is equally idiotic - doing the same thing over and over and over, obtaining the same result over and over and over, and urging more of the same is irrational as well as ineffective. It's time for a change, and that change is not gong to be Israel packing up and dissolving itself, it has to be the Palestinians recognizing that trying to address their grievances through a corrupt government and terrorism is not only unproductive but affirmatively self-destructive. Trying a path without terrorism can only be an improvement, although that requires a rejection of sponsorship by Iran, which uses terror as an instrument of their own foreign policy. They do that through proxies like Hamas, to try to insulate themselves from direct retaliation but have no objections when their surrogates get hammered instead.

If the Palestinians reject terror, prospects for peace would increase exponentially. Continue to embrace terror, and the Palestinians will continue on a path towards obliteration, all while sympathizers decry the situation. The Palestinians can end the violence this moment by rejecting Hamas and all it stands for, and ensuring the release of the hostages. Or they can keep on keeping on. it's up to them - Hamas attacked on Oct. 7, not the IDF.

And when is Israel going to reject terror? What do you think the assault on Palestinians in the West Bank is, if not terror. There are over three-quarters of a million Israeli settlers illegally occupying the West Bank, the Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem. They stole Palestinian homes and land through terrorism, which is at least in part sponsored by the state of Israel. What do you think happened to the Palestinians who were attacked and evicted from their homes.

Are you genuinely blind to your own hypocrisy? Or do you actually think Palestinians have less value than Jews, so it's acceptable to erase them and to take what is theirs?

Israel is not going to reject their version of state sponsored terror and the Palestinians cannot defeat it militarily. They need to change the paradigm if they want to "win".

In other words, the Palestinians need to shut up and accept being slowly evicted or exterminated as their land and possessions are stolen and they are inexorably erased.

This kind of "might is right" thinking doesn't work when one no longer has the might, as Nazi Germany and Bashar al-Assad found out. There are good reasons for having an international rule of law.

No. But if they don't want that to happen then they need to change their strategy because what they've been doing hasn't been working.

Yet. Hitler and Assad eventually fell. The house of cards can collapse very quickly, and Israel's racist, colonial regime will fall apart as world opinion continues to turn against it. There'll come a tipping point when the current system of apartheid is unsustainable, just as happened in South Africa.

It won't and even if it did there's no one in Palestine capable of picking up the pieces. The world doesn't do anything because the Palestinians are as big a group of aholes as the Israelis. It's the same story every decade.

Palestinians have been doing the same thing forever. From the Munich Olympics to Black September to 10/7, the only thing Palestinians seem to know is terrorism. Which is why Palestinians have no support anywhere these days. It's a problem. Palestinians should maybe think about a different strategy.

From the King David Hotel bombing to the Deir Yassin and countless other village massacres; from the Bombing of the USS Liberty to 75+ years of non-stop brutal subjugation and apartheid conditions that have created hundreds of 10/7s for the Palestinian people, the only thing the Israelis seem to know is systemic terrorism.

It’s in their DNA.

(What’s not in their DNA, ironically, is evidence of indigeneity to the Middle East region)

Anyone involved with the King David hotel bombing in 1946 has been dead for decades.

Meanwhile, the entire world needs to deal with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and all the other Palestinian terrorists today.

It's a problem.

It's not a surprise that neighboring countries like Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia want nothing to do with Palestinians. I genuinely don't understand Palestinian strategy at all.

I genuinely dont understand Israeli strategy at all. The West Bank was a demilitarized Palestinian government and they did nothing to legitimize it. They ask for terrorists.

Really? Their strategy seems pretty clear. Expand the territory they physically control and incentivize emigration. Any violent act in response then provides an excuse to increase those measures.

What I don't understand is why Palestinians fall into the same trap every time.

You’re 100% on the money, of course.

And yet, there are people walking around, posting here and propagating hasbara 24/7, and they literally expect others to believe them when they argue that Israel is and has always been committed to living peacefully amongst the its neighbors.

The suspension of disbelief necessary to even consider what these individuals have to say is astonishing …

That is all true but only half the story. The other side of the coin requires just as much suspension of disbelief with the same tedious regurgitated pablum of performative victimhood.

Does noone have any agency in this entire godforsaken ritualistic pantomime?

It's not a surprise that neighboring countries like Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia want nothing to do with Palestinians. I genuinely don't understand Palestinian strategy at all.

I genuinely dont understand Israeli strategy at all. The West Bank was a demilitarized Palestinian government and they did nothing to legitimize it. They ask for terrorists.

Really? Their strategy seems pretty clear. Expand the territory they physically control and incentivize emigration. Any violent act in response then provides an excuse to increase those measures.

What I don't understand is why Palestinians fall into the same trap every time.

You’re 100% on the money, of course.

And yet, there are people walking around, posting here and propagating hasbara 24/7, and they literally expect others to believe them when they argue that Israel is and has always been committed to living peacefully amongst the its neighbors.

The suspension of disbelief necessary to even consider what these individuals have to say is astonishing …

That is all true but only half the story. The other side of the coin requires just as much suspension of disbelief with the same tedious regurgitated pablum of performative victimhood.

Does noone have any agency in this entire godforsaken ritualistic pantomime?

There are no two sides. Israel stole the land and ethically cleansed the area.

Whose land was it 2000 years ago?

Holy shit - please tell us you’re joking!

Anyone with a scintilla of civilized blood in their veins would reject that puerile, simplistic proposition.

If you adhere to that idea, you've no basis for crying when the terrorists and their supporters are suppressed. So stop whining and accept that the current condition of the Gazans is self-inflicted even as you think their actions have some kind of utility in advancing their causes and redressing their grievances.

Never mind that the Arab states surrounding Israel mostly engage in political discourse and negotiations instead of violent aggression. Those countries have avoided any recent conflicts because they have stayed within their own borders, having learned from their past adventurism that attacking Israel achieves nothing but self-destruction, a diminution in their own borders, the loss of military capacity, and embarrassment on the world stage. Iran is still figuring that one out, as are the Houthis.

The Palestinians can try to re-fight the Israeli war for independence over and over again, obtaining the same results they did in 1948. You can cheer them on from the sidelines where it's safe, but encouraging them is to urge them to continue further aggravate their hopeless state of affairs.

Please suggest civilized ways currently available to the Palestinians to resist land grab and settlement expansion. I’ll wait.

Renounce terror to start with and go from there. Nothing will change as long as terror is the exclusive foreign policy pursued by the Palestinians. It matters not what alternatives they are offered, they consistently choose terror in the utterly absurd hope that such a path will result in the disappearance of Israel and its population and the return to the status quo ante of 1947, assuming they found the British Mandate a suitable form of governance and wouldn't complain just as much about that. The sheer imbecility of this course of action is astounding - no rational person could possibly conclude, after 75 years of failed efforts, that this is a viable path forward or that it forms the basis for a useful foreign policy and path to peaceful engagement with anyone.

The assertions here that terror is the only option available is equally idiotic - doing the same thing over and over and over, obtaining the same result over and over and over, and urging more of the same is irrational as well as ineffective. It's time for a change, and that change is not gong to be Israel packing up and dissolving itself, it has to be the Palestinians recognizing that trying to address their grievances through a corrupt government and terrorism is not only unproductive but affirmatively self-destructive. Trying a path without terrorism can only be an improvement, although that requires a rejection of sponsorship by Iran, which uses terror as an instrument of their own foreign policy. They do that through proxies like Hamas, to try to insulate themselves from direct retaliation but have no objections when their surrogates get hammered instead.

If the Palestinians reject terror, prospects for peace would increase exponentially. Continue to embrace terror, and the Palestinians will continue on a path towards obliteration, all while sympathizers decry the situation. The Palestinians can end the violence this moment by rejecting Hamas and all it stands for, and ensuring the release of the hostages. Or they can keep on keeping on. it's up to them - Hamas attacked on Oct. 7, not the IDF.

And when is Israel going to reject terror? What do you think the assault on Palestinians in the West Bank is, if not terror. There are over three-quarters of a million Israeli settlers illegally occupying the West Bank, the Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem. They stole Palestinian homes and land through terrorism, which is at least in part sponsored by the state of Israel. What do you think happened to the Palestinians who were attacked and evicted from their homes.

Are you genuinely blind to your own hypocrisy? Or do you actually think Palestinians have less value than Jews, so it's acceptable to erase them and to take what is theirs?

Israel is not going to reject their version of state sponsored terror and the Palestinians cannot defeat it militarily. They need to change the paradigm if they want to "win".

In other words, the Palestinians need to shut up and accept being slowly evicted or exterminated as their land and possessions are stolen and they are inexorably erased.

This kind of "might is right" thinking doesn't work when one no longer has the might, as Nazi Germany and Bashar al-Assad found out. There are good reasons for having an international rule of law.

No. But if they don't want that to happen then they need to change their strategy because what they've been doing hasn't been working.

Yet. Hitler and Assad eventually fell. The house of cards can collapse very quickly, and Israel's racist, colonial regime will fall apart as world opinion continues to turn against it. There'll come a tipping point when the current system of apartheid is unsustainable, just as happened in South Africa.

It won't and even if it did there's no one in Palestine capable of picking up the pieces. The world doesn't do anything because the Palestinians are as big a group of aholes as the Israelis. It's the same story every decade.

Palestinians have been doing the same thing forever. From the Munich Olympics to Black September to 10/7, the only thing Palestinians seem to know is terrorism. Which is why Palestinians have no support anywhere these days. It's a problem. Palestinians should maybe think about a different strategy.

From the King David Hotel bombing to the Deir Yassin and countless other village massacres; from the Bombing of the USS Liberty to 75+ years of non-stop brutal subjugation and apartheid conditions that have created hundreds of 10/7s for the Palestinian people, the only thing the Israelis seem to know is systemic terrorism.

It’s in their DNA.

(What’s not in their DNA, ironically, is evidence of indigeneity to the Middle East region)

Anyone involved with the King David hotel bombing in 1946 has been dead for decades.

Meanwhile, the entire world needs to deal with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and all the other Palestinian terrorists today.

Whose land was it 2000 years ago?

Several groups lived there. Some were Jewish, some worshipped Baal, some were early Christians (many of those converted from Judaism), some worshipped Roman deities, and who knows what other God(s) they worshipped. It really doesn't matter what the exact mix was. Today's Palestinians mostly descend from people who lived there 2,000 years ago. DNA studies indicate that. Many of them had Jewish and/or Christian ancestors. Some of the Jewish people left and intermingled with Europeans and others (before they came back). DNA studies indicate that, too. Again, that really isn't important.

What is important is that Palestinians, who were predominantly Muslim but also Christian, Druze, and Jewish, had lived there for generations when they were turfed out during the Nakba by the invaders, and almost everything they had was stolen from them. What could possibly go wrong after that?

And if we're owed land in areas where some of our ancestors may have lived 2,000 years ago, well, what a lovely advantage! I should get part of Ireland. Understand that it's my birthright to return to my ancestral home. Yeah, I'll show up there with some armed buddies, pick out some nice real estate, massacre some of the inhabitants and torture/mutilate a few others to scare the locals away, go through their possessions as they leave and pick out some nice watches, cash, and jewelry for myself, and move in. I really love the new dining room table that comes with the place I plan to commandeer. Walnut with mother-of-pearl marquetry. Burn the living room furniture, would you? It will have to be replaced.

And if some of the original inhabitants make too much fuss and try to fight me, I'll accuse them of terrorism. That would give me the right to kill them or lock them up without trial. I'll have my snipers execute some of the younger children. Killing kids always helps to intimidate the adults and keep them in line. Burning them alive has great shock value. Starving them works pretty well too; really cost-effective. And if they start drumming up international support through their writing, I'll just have their journalists assassinated or lock them up indefinitely without trial.

Understand I'm very special, so I am owed these things. If you disagree, you're just a bigot and you obviously hate me and people like me.
