    Middle East Conflict

    I understand the Israeli concern for security. A peace deal (two-state solution or whatever) could not guarantee that every Palestinian (now with plenty of cause to hate Israel) would abide by such a deal - just as there was no guarantee that every Israeli would abide by such a deal (cue the...

    Middle East Conflict

    Is he listening? I guess a lot of people grew up sympathetic to Israel, not least because of the Holocaust. I had a friend who in her teens went to work in a kibbutz and came back enthusiastic, and we were sympathetic. I didn't know enough then to ask on whose land it was or where they got...

    Well, their last major policy statement in 2017 didn't repeat that objective from the earlier Charter. Indeed, #20 sounds a bit like a two-state solution, without giving up the claim to the whole land. https://archive.org/details/hamas-charter-2017/page/5/mode/1up Q: When did Netanyahu...

    Middle East Conflict

    What other people had someone else's land gifted to them? And law of conquest was ruled unlawful (in international law) just when international law was being used to gift that land to the Jewish people. And not other land in the region.

    Middle East Conflict

    Netanyahu doesn't want the establishment of a Palestinian state. And was willing to kill an Israeli leader to prevent it.

    Middle East Conflict

    But if we helped Israel to avoid too much Iranian damage, shouldn't we help Iran avoid too much Israeli damage? Or is Israeli escalation OK? I'm sure you get the point.

    Middle East Conflict

    If we're attempting to prevent further escalation, what will we do to stop Israel bombing Iran?

    Boris Johnson

    Quite an admission. Adopting the Bloviator's negotiating stance - the political will to walk away - failed, because the EU did have the political will, and the clout to make Johnson crumble.

    What was the currency of the Roman province of Judea? They're just trying to erase history.

    Middle East Conflict

    How about mosques? Monasteries? Villages destroyed in the Nakba? Al Kabri? (I'm guessing you don't know about that) In April 1948, the Haganah prepared an initial blueprint for an operation called "Ehud", which provided for attacks on al-Kabri, al Nahar, al-Bassa and al-Zib for "the destruction...

    For some reason they didn't believe that the Jews came in peace and would be grateful with the land allocated to them.

    Same question to you as to others: what are the boundaries of Israel?

    So Israeli sovereignty from the river to the sea? And 6m Palestinians do what?

    Middle East Conflict

    1. Is peace possible if (a) Israel keeps attacking civilians (since 1948) or (b) keeps doing illegal settlements? 2. That's why you negotiate peace deals.

    Middle East Conflict

    They had one, till Netanyahu used Hamas to oust the moderates in Gaza. He wanted Hamas as they were against a two-state solution, like him.

    Middle East Conflict

    Rather than seek peace and get the hostages back. Do they really think this will hasten the day when the Israelis who've been displaced in the north can feel safe enough to go home?
