U.S. Abstains as U.N. Security Council Votes to Condemn Israeli Settlements

Well it is what it is. I respect your opinion given the fact you're actually from Israel and you have forgotten more than most of us know about the history of the region. That being said I do think your government needs to take a softer approach.

The Israeli government is the best reason why the USA should remain a two-party system.

When you have twelve parties and the Likud has only 30 seats out of 120, they have to make deals with much further to the right parties including especially these settlements in order to form a government .
 
I am with anything that could bring some peace and joy to Palestinian hearts again

I read comments like yours and I wonder where your head is. seriously. It's not Israel's fault that those in the Palestine territory have chosen leaders of terrorist groups to govern them
All the rich Arab countries surrounding them, why aren't they putting out the money to build the area up? Why aren't they doing more to keep the radicals out? Could it be they are anti-Semitic too and want Israel to be made the problem?

Without help from the bordering Arab countries it allows the UN to use the Palestinians as their poster child. We pour millions into Palestine and Israel. Israel flourishes. Palestine takes the money and looks like every inner city we have in the U.S. Why is that?
 
I am not going to take you seriously using a source "Catholic Answers", while at the same time trying to convince me you're nonpartisan.

Just stop...

It is the Catholic position....Not left, or right....So, I really don't see what the problem is....
 
There are some Arabic countries trying to help Palestine but again I repeat the leaders there are corrupt not what they use to be like before 21st century

I recognize Palestine as the owner of that land.
I recognize Israel as an invader to that land.
Then you only recognize bs.


Lands are owned by people who lived there for decades and served that land and made it liveable,
Now you are just showing you do not know what you are talking about.

Your perspective has no validity.
 
You need to take off your partisan blinders as they were a response to Muslim aggression and conquest.


I pointed out with sourced material that the crusades were by and large a militarized invasion of Israel.

What you ended up pointing out is that the Crusades were a response, which is what you were told.

 
Then you only recognize bs.


Now you are just showing you do not know what you are talking about.

Your perspective has no validity.
Then can you enrich us with your perspective " which has validity"

Actually the Israelis use to live there, and now too.
What amazes me is how are the majority reacting emotionally (if not being somehow racist) when it comes to Israel and just start throwing arguments about historical claim and whatsoever.
People understand this, everyone who lives in Israel today is from another country with already a home and a previous land but the people living in Palestine they don't have alternate home because they are already in their home.

No but look at the Palestinian population and the Israeli population, does it have to be an Israeli rise and a Palestinian fall ?
Why not respect the borders that UN chose years ago ?

Well, if you recall, the UN General Assembly voted to partition Palestine by creating the modern state of Israel and a separate Arab state. The Arabs refused to accept the partition and went to war. Why should a resolution of the UN Security Council today concerning the status of Israeli settlements carry more weight today than the General Assembly's Partition Plan did in 1947? How can the Arabs invoke the rule of law when they clearly favored the use of force? What changed, other than the fact that every time the Arabs went to war with Israel they had their teeth handed to them?
 
You say it's their land ? How is that possible ? Before 1947 who were living there ?
Who gave UK the right to donate Palestinian land to jews ?

Die hard Israel supporters use the "But the jews once lived there a long long long long long long time ago" argument.Funny how those same people would tell the native Americans to piss off if native Americans said they wanted their land back or tell blacks to piss off if blacks said they want reparations for slavery.

No.
The emotional reactions and arguments have been from Palestinian supporters.

1. You seem to be forgetting the Israelis who have been born there.
2. Those people who have immigrated to Israel are in their homes of their Country known as Israel.
 
People born there have the right yes, but where were their parents living ? If in Palestine the they are Palestinian Jews because the expression "State of Israel" didn't exist before it is just a name for the Jewish Zionist invaders

1. There you go making a nonfactual emotional argument.
The State of Israel was legally established. It wasn't an invasion.

2. Many of their parents were born there also, not that it matters one bit because they do not have to be born there to be a citizen.
 

The native Americans would have to take the land to make it the same situation.
 
Established ?! It's a word to give a more appropriate name to the invasion.
And if their parents lived there before what made them call for "establishing" a country for Jews, well obviously there war no crimes towards them in Palestine.

Yeah they can't because they cannot declare war on USA without weapons and army, right ?
Well that shows your inclination toward the violence and use of force (not the point we are trying to make in here -peace- )

There you go again with the emotional argument. There was no invasion.
Israel was legally established.

This is just nonsense as a reply to what was said and is indicative of a lack of knowledge concerning the establishment of Israel.

I doubt anyone is interested in seeing what type of phone you have being repeated over and over again.
You can always go into tapatalk's settings and turn that notification off.
 
Firstly, let me tell you my friend I'm new to Tapatlk and I didn't pay attention to that issue because I'm more focused on the subject but thanks I will disable it.
Secondly, can you please tell me how is Israel legally established ? I mean what are the things we need to look for to say a state is established ?
Thanks

war spoils have not changed at any point in history, you are just trying to justify a double standard.

Not true. International law post WW2 made it illegal to acquire land through military conquest or invasion. Israel has no legal right to the occupied territories, nor to build settlements on occupied land.
