There are 12,000 people alive today who were displaced in 1948 who live outside Israel. Israel would let them immigrate to Israel in a heartbeat. The issue is with the millions of Palestinians in the diaspora who consider themselves refugees despite having citizenship elsewhere and the Palestinians living in the Middle East who are stateless because they have deliberately been kept as refugees for political purposes for multiple generations. Israel isn’t large enough to accommodate them and the neither is the Palestinian Authority in West Bank (they have the right of return to the later). Many countries limit citizenship for great-grandchildren (e.g., Ireland, Italy, Germany, etc.). A comprehensive peace plan will need to accommodate property compensation for both displaced Arabs and Jews in Middle East, but there is not going to be a peace plan built around Israel absorbing millions of great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren of displaced Palestinians, especially after the Black Saturday massacres. |
The British and French are to blame for this generational conflict, which is a result of their pure teachery in promising the same land to two groups of people for their own purposes. A familiar tale that they repeated around the world but this one has had lasting and disastrous impacts on two peoples who never asked for this or deserved it. |
Likewise, I'd hope that Israel's right of return to all Jews will be terminated. It is equally detrimental to the peace process. |
Funny you say video game as Israel has produced video games about IDF soldiers where one can kill Palestinians for fun. One is called Bomb Gaza, another was called Code Red:Gaza Assault, and another is called Iron Dome Missile Defense. |
That would defeat the purpose of a Jewish state. |
Okay. And in Palestine, kindergarten graduations involve putting on skits about kidnapping and murdering Jews. |
What about a Palestinian state? A Kurdish state? A Uyghur state? When does it end? |
It's absolutely heartbreaking, the loss of innocent life on both side. Is there any planet on which the Palestinians in Gaza would turn on Hamas and help move this along? How can they be OK with what they have done (to everyone). |
You consider a missile defense system killing Palestinians for fun? How's that? |
Wait. Which is it? You said before the only reason Egypt won’t open its borders is because when they do IDF will bomb the crossing. That’s obviously stupid and wrong, but OK, that was your theory. Now your story is “the Palestinians aren’t going anywhere” because they aren’t guaranteed a right to return? Yeah right. There are tens of thousands if not more BEGGING to leave. None of the other Islamofascist states give a sh$t. They don’t want these people in their country. They’re more than happy to watch Palestinians die as gruesomely and as publicly as possible for the PR. |
Cool. You all are terrible people, on both sides. Maybe we should let yall just work it out as you see fit. And not foot the bill. |
The entire region is overpopulated and shouldn’t have that many people living there in the first place . The land is very small. Water resources are very scant. There’s like 9 million Israelis and counting and Palestinians reproduce like crazy. Even if it were all one state, it would be like 15 million + people and maybe 25 Million-30 million if we include right of return for Palestinians. That’s an insane amount Of people in a place the size of New Jersey or Pennsylvania |
I'm pro-Israel and I don't blame them for not turning on Hamas. It's like asking people to defy drug cartels. Terrorists terrorize people. |
The Islamophobia and anti-Arab sentiment are so intense on the pro-Israel side. It's really mind-blowing how much hate and racism they get away with while simultaneously accusing all of their detractors of "antisemitism". In a few hundred years, I'm sure the history books will have named this psychosis/era - whatever you call it - but to live it is something else. |
Ok. Tomato tomahto. Leave our taxpayers out of their drama. |
