It’s callous but it has helped to get the US and and U.K. Governments and oppositions to be their advocates. As somebody who has run a big communications team in the past, advocacy is a big PR achievement.They need sacking their PR is terrible always has been it comes across as callous
It was never British land.Usual bollocks.
British land in 1946. Ottoman land pre-1916.
1947 was a plan rejected by all Arab countries.
1949-1967 green bits were Egyptian and Jordanian land.
Present is the only time Palestine had their own land.
It would be good if the Palestinians ended up with something like the 1949-67 map but that depends on Israel getting rid of Netanyahu and Hamas being fucked off by the Gazans.
That's the trouble isn't it? Facts on the ground rather than legal and moral justification.Nope.
History based on facts.
And who says I’m ignoring reality. You’re the one diverting the thread to try and delegitimise Israel as a whole rather than focusing on the current situation. Anyway I’ll leave you to your revisionist bollocks.
Course it is. But it is still a fact stripped of historical context and presented in isolation ..... bit like you chucking in the plight of 'white farmers' at the mere mention of Mandela. Like I say the colonial mindset.It’s just fact.
The Jews that lived there were the ones that called themselves Palestinians before 1948. The Jerusalem Post was the Palestine Post. They even set up the Palestine FA which was the precursor to the Israel FA. The Arab Palestinians saw themselves as Arabs living in Palestine as there was no such thing as a Palestinian nation until the PLO effectively created one in 1964 after responding to nationalist sentiment due to the local Arabs understandably not wanting to be ruled by outsiders any more. That doesn’t delegitimise their desire for self determination following centuries of Crusader, Mamluk, Ottoman, British, Egyptian, Jordanian and Israeli rule to name but a few.Another Israeli argument is that Palestine never existed. In as much as the Ottomans and then the British ran the place maybe technically it is correct. However there have been people living there for s millennium and they call themselves Palestinian. That's all that matters.
Fixed that somewhat ridiculous statement.The average Palestinians life is way shitter than the average Israelis by every measure. Most of this is the result of their leadership, which has consistently rejected peaceful co-existence for war and conflict.
Course it is. But it is still a fact stripped of historical context and presented in isolation ..... bit like you chucking in the plight of 'white farmers' at the mere mention of Mandela. Like I say the colonial mindset.

Netanyahu has not got it right and neither have you.Maybe I don't bother answering loaded questions but if you insist, Israel are taking military action against Islamist terrorists who shelter behind innocent civilians that they've themselves terrorised instead of protecting and are happy to encourage, and glorify in, their slaughter. They shelter in schools and hospitals, as well as the tunnels which have cost over $1bn to build. That's money that could have been used to better the lives of the people they're supposed to be governing.
The biggest favour Israel can do for the ordinary Gaza people is to wipe Hamas out. Every single, last one of them. I'm no fan of Netanyahu but he's got this one absolutely right.
Not once have you condemned the brutal October 7th attacks.
Not once have you called for the release of the hostages.
It's all one way with you.
Fuck off you terrorist supporting animal.
In the sense that the colonials treated the indigenous population badly yes.I popped it in there to see yours and others outrage at the genocide of white farmers in South Africa.
Oh wait……let me guess? You’re not arsed eh, they probably asked for it yes?
Fucking pesky colonialists, bit like the Jews in Israel.
