In reality, Hamas and Fatah are all about the NO-state solution. As long as they can keep the great unwashed masses angry and impoverished by blaming Israel, they will continue to be in power. And that is what they want. Do you think that thugs like Haniyeh are actually able to govern?

Easing their economic plight would go a long way towards diminishing the legitimacy of groups like Hamas.

How is that going to diminish the legitimacy of Hamas? They're the organization in control of Gaza's internal affairs. All that's going to happen is that they're going to get an influx of money and business from those willing and able to deal with a known terrorist organization.

Yes. Israel imposes sanctions because Hamas and Fatah use aid money to line their own pockets and to encourage terrorism by offering poor families money if they get a family member to become a "martyr", i.e., blow up innocent women and children on public buses. If the Palestinian leaders used the aid money as intended by the EU - on infrastructure, health care and education - there would be no need for sanctions.

Saudi Arabia has no excuse for not sending the Palestinians money. They have billions upon billions. Unless, of course, they are well aware that sending them money will just make the Haniyehs of the world rich, like Arafat.

See, people like you enjoy putting all of the blame on Israel because it gives you the chance to hate Jews while clothing your hatred in politics.

If the Palestinian leaders used the aid money as intended by the EU - on infrastructure, health care and education - there would be no need for sanctions.

Bullshit. You're conflating giving money to Hamas with providing basic services to the population directly. If Hamas can't be trusted with the money - and it's pretty clear that they can't - then the EU (and Israel) are more than capable of building infrastructure and providing health care and education directly without getting Hamas involved as a middleman.

Moreover, restricting the shipment of goods or the free travel of Palestinians has nothing to do with money and further reveals the lie that it's just about reacting to Hamas.

Saudi Arabia has no excuse for not sending the Palestinians money. They have billions upon billions. Unless, of course, they are well aware that sending them money will just make the Haniyehs of the world rich, like Arafat.

Saudi Arabia is under no obligation to donate money to Palestine. Israel, on the other hand, does have an obligation to not oppress or impoverish Palestine. You're comparing apples to oranges.

See, people like you enjoy putting all of the blame on Israel because it gives you the chance to hate Jews while clothing your hatred in politics.

And here we go again with the bullshit assumptions about what you think I believe. And this one is a double header— you claim (1) that I put all of the blame on Israel and (2) that I hate Jews. That's two straw men flagrantly mutilated just so you could pretend you have a sound argument.

Depends on how committed you are to Palestine being a separate country.

One approach would be to start building infrastructure (directly, not by giving money to Hamas and hoping they'll do it) and stop with the blockading and controlling. Alleviate the most pressing concerns of poverty combined with ending oppression mixed with a clear message that Israel will, in fact, let them have their independence if they knock it off with the thuggery. It might not work (after all, the region is pretty much defined by pointless animosity) but it's absurd to expect someone to be your "peace partner" while you are slowly starving them to death.

Another approach would be to simply annex the territories, grant full Israeli citizenship to their residents, tell Hamas to take a hike, and then start building infrastructure and offering social programs because that's what governments do for their territories. Once conditions are less dire, then hold a vote on whether they want to remain part of Israel or become independent (and respect their independence if they vote for the latter).

Either way, cutting it out with the whole "Jewish state" nonsense would also help; animosities in part influenced by religion will be aggravated by religiosity, the adherence to religion has never made anything better, and frankly, it's the 21st century, not the 12th— tying your identity to a religion is embarrassing.

By repeatedly asking him to define his terms, I drive home the point that he doesn't really understand what the words mean, he has no consistent definitions for them, and his use of them is therefore semantically invalid.

I wouldn't say I'm 180 degrees from Olog— we both have access to the same facts and the same evidence, but he got his head stuck in a bucket of doolally while trying to evaluate said facts.

It is true that some aspects of Israeli policy vis a vis the Palestinians are problematic, but you continue to ignore the fact that Palestinian policy vis a vis Israel is unacceptable if a peace agreement is ever to be reached.


Why?


Because at present, Israel is the ONLY Jewish state in the world, and it is important that Jews, like other religions, have a place where their religion makes up the majority, their holidays are national holidays, their culture is the national culture, their language is the national language, and where they can flee to if they find themselves persecuted somewhere else.

Your ignorance is astounding. There is no way to bypass Hamas in the Gaza Strip, so that approach is a non-starter. I've already explained why annexing the West Bank outright didn't happen immediately after 1967 and wouldn't be a good idea now. Oslo was supposed to get us to a situation similar to the one you described in your second approach, but we aren't there for a whole host of reasons.

I suggest you cut out your insistence that Israel not be a Jewish state, Israel was created to be a Jewish state. You show your true colors when you write "the adherence to religion has never made anything better, and frankly, it's the 21st century, not the 12th— tying your identity to a religion is embarrassing."

Let's see, in 1967, as in 1948 and in 1973, Israel's neighbors attacked the country in an attempt to wipe it off the map. The various Arab states that fought Israel lost the war and lost territory during the fighting. Israel would have no problem giving back the land if it weren't for the fact the borders prior to the 1967 war were not defensible, as proven by the fact the Arabs were able to start said war. The 1967 war also gave Israel control of the Old City of Jerusalem, home to the holiest sides in Judaism. Although the Jordanians were required by the armistice agreement ending the War of Independence in 1948 to grant access to the Old City for adherents of all faiths, they did not do so. Today, Jerusalem is open to visitors of all faiths who wish to visit their religious holy sites. However, in the immediate aftermath of the 1967 war, Israel did NOT annex the West Bank, hoping to reach a peace agreement with the Arabs. Israel also immediately turned over the Temple Mount to the waqf, which isn't exactly a sign that Israel planned for this to be drawn out over 40+ years.

Although the Arabs have lost each war they have started with Israel, they seem intent upon reclaiming the land they lost each time. A better solution would have been to not declare war and to accept Israel's existence. More recently, they have resorted to terrorism in various forms and many innocent Israelis have been killed as a result of such attacks. These terrorist operations have been authorized and supported by the PLO and PA on many occasions.

You are highly encouraged to read more about this yourself. I shouldn't have to answer such questions, especially because many of us understand exactly what you are saying vis a vis Israel, even if you yourself do not.

Israel did in fact disengage from Gaza. If you expect Israel to not protect its border, you're a moron.

Israel has not signed the non-proliferation treaty and has made no official claims either way about whether or not it is a nuclear state.

The fact that you consider Obama and Clinton to be right of center says all I need to know about your definitions of liberal and conservative.

I wasn't aware that Gaza is a member of the EU.
