Palestine fired large rockets from Gaza which have landed inside southern Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu had to be rushed off the stage by security while speaking at a campaign event for himself.

Just hours ago, Netanyahu announced that if he's re-elected that Israel will coordinate with Trump on plans to annex the West Bank, part of the Jordan Valley.
 
There goes the “two state solution!”
 
In before the move.
 
Gobble, gobble. Israel gets a little bigger while Palestine evaporates, which was always the goal. Caged people are going to act like animals, and anybody claiming they wouldn't get violent if a foreign country treated their country like that is a liar.
 
Moderator's Warning:
Moved to Israel/Palestine. All posts will be subject to Martial Law.
 

This is becoming downright ****ing scary. Netanyahu better lose his election or there's going to be WW3. For the first time in Israel's history, Netanyahu goes into this election while under criminal investigation for briber and corruption. Who would vote for a man like that?? Oh...the U.S. would, never mind.
 

Palestinians were given Gaza to do with as the wish. They immediately turned it into a base for terror attacks.

Israel can be forgiven for not making the same mistake with the West Bank.
 

There never has been a peace process, but rather an annexation process that used the “peace process” as a facade

It has all but gone for decades now

Maybe the One State / bi national stste is the only viable game in town. I keep saying that those who back the hardline over my dead body Palestinian state are the true enemies of the state of Israel , they just can't/refuse to see it

If a foreign country treated you and your countrymen like Israel treats Palestine, you would not hesitate to become violent.

This is the what? Millionth time you repeat such nonsense?
And it is based on what exactly? The overwhelming majority of Palestinians aren't violent.
It looks like just the same amount of every other Islamist country in conflict out there - Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.

You're jumping through hoops to promote murderous violence against completely innocent people.
 

Pardon me if I don't waste time arguing with an extremist that doesn't recognize Palestine's right to exist and thinks that literally every criticism of Israeli government policy is anti-semitism. Hard pass.

I recognize Palestinians right to exist and I wish them to have a state of their own and I wish that state to be a functional one unlike the other Arab neighbors around.
I'm also realistic and I don't expect it to happen due to their extreme positions.

I'm hardly an extremist, but I can see why someone as radical in his pro-violence positions as you would think so.
All you seem to argue about is on how we should all allow violence to happen when it is directed against innocents, especially Western ones, and especially Jewish ones.
Sad. See how you're unable to cope with the fact that most Palestinians do not choose violence? Just sad.

Why would Israel duplicate that mistake?

News flash, the Palestinians were forced from their lands and homes into "occupied territory".

In your narrative, American Indians were "given" reservations.

News flash...

Some were forced. Others fled.

All because the Palestinians could not stand the thought of a Jewish state and went to war.... And lost.

Palestinians (which is a misnomer) do exist, Gaza.

a difference without distinction, they are refugees from their original land concentrated into territory they do not control. It was not "given" in any sense of the word.

Uh, it was a Palestinian state, overrun by illegal immigration. The Israelis then and now are not willing to allow either a shared or two state solution....hence further land grabs by Israel.

Sort of like Germany giving the ghetto to the jews...
 

It was?

When?

Look in the back of your Bible, at the maps of Palestine.

The area owned by the Greeks called Pelestia?

Or the area called Syria Palestina by the Romans after their conquest?

Note the word 'area'.

And after the Greeks and the Romans there came a plethora of invaders and settlers....

The area maintained the name....
