(If you aim a missile at a mosque full of civilians, you have intentionally killed them, and saying you only "meant" to kill one guy does not change this fact.)

What do you want Israel to do differently in light of the fact that it takes many measures to avoid collateral damage to civilians and that Hamas operates from within civilian infrastructure, including mosques and hospitals?

Occupation and annexation of Palestinian territories.

I've already explained why this is a false charge and how Israel isn't occupying anything (you can call them disputed if you would wish but occupation isn't accurate).


Enforcing an apartheid system via wall in the West Bank.

Sorry, but Israel is not an apartheid state at the present time. The security fence was built in response to terror attacks against Israeli civilians (where is your sympathy for them?) and such attacks dropped to nearly zero after the security fence was completed. It could have been built without cutting off farmers from their land in some cases, but it was necessary in order to maintain the safety of Israeli civilians.

Israel might be a racist state (vis a vis the Arabs and even some Jews), but it is not an apartheid state.


Blockade of Gaza.

That blocks weaponry from reaching Gaza where it will be fired right back at Israel. I wasn't aware access to rocket building supplies is a human right.

If you sincerely believe all of those aspects of Israeli policy are not justified, you truly do not support Israel's right to defend itself.

For starters, Israel and Iran are fighting a proxy war of sorts right now. Things are "quiet" right now but don't think that if Israel adopts your ideas that somehow the war will just end.

You have yet to acknowledge that Israel uses missiles which are not known for their precise targeting or killing capabilities.


I don't acknowledge things that aren't true.

North Korea and Israel have little to do with each other. Syrian and Jordanian policies vis a vis Israel are actually pretty significant parts of the discussion in light of how they treat Palestinian refugees and have done little to promote the creation of a Palestinian state.

A ground invasion? Cutting off the supply chain until the people are so upset they overthrow Hamas? Considering the accuracy of Israeli missiles, I think the current strategy puts the fewest Gaza residents AND Israeli soldiers at risk.

Israel threatened to deny him the ability to return to Ramallah if he left Israel for travel. Furthermore, denying Arafat the right to travel to the West Bank is far more complicated to handle politically than blacklisting a few extremist right wing Jews.

The only thing the terrorists respect is force. And by force, that means force enough to destroy them.

We shall never stop until we can go back home and Israel is destroyed… The goal of our struggle is the end of Israel, and there can be no compromises or mediations… the goal of this violence is the elimination of Zionism from Palestine in all its political, economic and military aspects… We don’t want peace; we want victory. Peace for us means Israel’s destruction and nothing else.

Yasser Arafat as quoted by the Washington Post, 03/29/1970
And for those that still don't know the definition of Zionism, it means to even have a Jewish state of Israel in any form.

What do you want Israel to do differently...

Not intentionally targeting civilians would be a start.

I've already explained why this is a false charge and how Israel isn't occupying anything (you can call them disputed if you would wish but occupation isn't accurate).

Calling the territories "disputed" does not change the physical facts of the occupation. Israel built a wall in the West Bank which cut off a chunk of Palestinian territory, thus effectively annexing it for Israel. Settlements go up on Palestinian territory. No matter what you call it, Israel is occupying it.

Sorry, but Israel is not an apartheid state at the present time.

It could have been built without cutting off farmers from their land in some cases, but it was necessary in order to maintain the safety of Israeli civilians.


You do realise that apartheid means "aparthood," right? Normally that means plain old segregation. Israel went for the gusto and built a giant wall.

However...

Israel might be a racist state (vis a vis the Arabs and even some Jews), but it is not an apartheid state.

Since you admit that Israel is racist, you've already conceded the point and quibbling over the semantic details is unnecessary.

I wasn't aware access to rocket building supplies is a human right.

No, but access to house building supplies is. Telling an entire population that they must be kept in poverty because otherwise they might be able to afford weapons is disgusting and it's a violation of human rights and international law.

If you sincerely believe all of those aspects of Israeli policy are not justified, you truly do not support Israel's right to defend itself.

Oh god, you're just as annoying as the American nationalists who declare that opposing America's policy of killing Pakistani children with drones or imprisoning and torturing innocent people without oversight is tantamount to opposing America's right to defend itself.

Not intentionally targeting civilians would be a start.


That's already being done. What is next on the list?

Calling the territories "disputed" does not change the physical facts of the occupation. Israel built a wall in the West Bank which cut off a chunk of Palestinian territory, thus effectively annexing it for Israel. Settlements go up on Palestinian territory. No matter what you call it, Israel is occupying it.



Israel is "occupying" land that no other country has ever maintained sovereignty over, and therefore, the "occupation" is not illegal under international law. Palestine has never existed as a nation, therefore, Israel cannot occupy it.


You do realise that apartheid means "aparthood," right? Normally that means plain old segregation. Israel went for the gusto and built a giant wall.

Your claims about the purpose of the "wall" are also false. The security fence was not built so that Israel could annex land in the West Bank.


Since you admit that Israel is racist, you've already conceded the point and quibbling over the semantic details is unnecessary.


Racism is not the same as segregation. Israel can be a racist state while not being an apartheid state.


No, but access to house building supplies is. Telling an entire population that they must be kept in poverty because otherwise they might be able to afford weapons is disgusting and it's a violation of human rights and international law.


No country would accept the status quo that Israel faces where it gives supplies meant for housing to a terrorist entity that then turns them into weaponry.

Oh god, you're just as annoying as the American nationalists who declare that opposing America's policy of killing Pakistani children with drones or imprisoning and torturing innocent people without oversight is tantamount to opposing America's right to defend itself.

You have demonstrated for weeks now that you don't give a shit about the nuances of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, but rather, you've already made up your mind about who is responsible, who is at fault, and could care less about the facts on the ground.
