Middle East Conflict

[The blue phantom]

Do you recognise the right of Israel to exist?

Of course, I'm totally against the continuous theft of Palestinian land to which is then used by Israeli settlements. Also dare I say illegal under international law.

Ok on that we can agree.

Well if we really want to go back to the start of this to apportion blame then it’s all going to end up on British shoulders but not sure anyone wants to have that conversation again.

I'm not sure I asked you the question , however, I lived over there in the 70's my question relates to happenings around that time

I'm fairly certain your knowledge on the subject is more superior to mine, I guess it's how you see the state of Israels actions towards the Palestinians plight. Expanding settlements and an open air Prison for over 2 Million folk?

Well I’m sure ignoring everything before your personal experience int he 1970s is definitely the right way to go about this incredibly complex 1500 year old conflict.

My knowledge of late probably isn't. It's a shit show from both sides , which I've tried to distance myself from . However, it started because certain extreamisy Palestinian terror groups such as the PLO refuse to accept that Israel should remain and continually attacked , this resulted in pushing back and 'stealing' land .
I honestly can't see peace there for a very long time , if ever .
And what has happend now is going to get very messy

Israel land grabs began in 1967 , the belief that Isreal should not exist is a completely different matter

This thread is a microcosm of the enduring conflict.

Politics has weaponised language so much it's difficult to have a civil debate about the history and rights and wrongs of the conflict.

Eds wants the thread pulled. Does it every time. He doesn't recognise the existence of the Palestinians or land which is theirs.

Where the fuck have I said that. And you probably need a history lesson. Another one on ignore
