Palestine or Israel

Why?

Because I felt like using the emoji and I was reading your post when it hit me.

Palestine or Israel ?

You didn't, but my first reply to you clearly referred to them, and you called that an assumption; I didn't say anything about Palestinians more generally. For reference, here's our conversation (square brackets added retrospectively):













I didn't assume that. You probably misread my first reply, because I was clearly referring to the leadership, not Palestinians more generally (see conversation above).



That would be a step in the right direction.



You weren't in your reply to Foo (and I don't pretend that you were), but then I replied saying that their leadership would, and from then on the reasonable assumption was that you were referring to them when you said 'assumptions assumptions.'



You could, but generally speaking 'the leadership' means the party currently in power.



Never said you did.

You didn't give any specifics either,so as a precautionary lesson,it's best not to ever assume things, always ask for specifics in advance

Israel, no one gives a shite about Palestine. Saudi and Egypt can take the Palestinians as refugees, instead of doing nothing

As I said earlier in the thread, a two state solution is now impossible as there are 300,000 colonists in East Jerusalem and 300,000 more in West Bank settlements. These colonists are all armed and they built their homes like bunkers. They will not leave.

The only chance for Palestinians to "free" the West Bank from Jewish settlements would be to "exchange" it for East Jerusalem. Israeli have always wanted to have the whole of Jerusalem and most of the biggest colonies are located there. Moreover, Israel has officially annexed it since 1980; they will not reconsider this decision.

Then, the Israeli government could take action to remove the settlements in the West Bank.

Whilst it sounds rather sloppy and ill-planned, couldn't a border be drawn around Jewish settlements, effectively creating Jewish or Palestinian exclaves as part of the drawing up of the borders? That would prevent having to force people to resettle in other parts of the country. For example, West Berlin managed to survive despite being surrounded by East Germany. Azerbaijan has the Nakhchivan exclave and Russia has the Kaliningrad exclave.

Because it's not only Muslim Arabs who are suffering under Israel but also Christian Arabs too,wake up!

Why do you have to bring Christianity into everything? I chose to side with Palestine because of what I see is happening to the Palestinians,just because I'm a Christian should I be blind to the injustices of certain people who are living under occupation both Christian and Muslim Arabs! My religion shouldn't come into it. And actually just thinking about Syria and other Arab countries going to war with Israel in the past ,I will always be a supporter of Palestinian solidarity just like all our fellow country men and women. Deal with it

I'm a decorated student of International Relations and Strategic Studies, so yes, I know a thing or two about arguably the most noteworthy/divisive inter-civilisational conflict of the modern era

You need to re-read what I've written. Nothing in what I've said suggests that I am pro-Israeli. I expect a higher degree of intellectualism from you, homie this **** is basic

Quote me where I said that?

Also expect a higher degree of piety. Not impressed

I did give specifics. I said 'their leadership', instead of 'Palestinians.' Any assumptions I've made follow the normal rules of conversation. You said 'assumptions assumptions' in response to me saying 'their leadership would, yeah', so it follows from the normal rules of conversation that you were saying that 'their leadership would, yeah', is an assumption, not 'the Palestinians would' (which was never said).

You find it so hard to admit to mistakes, queen-bee.



Thanks, but I don't need any gods.

Khalas,the only mistake was that you weren't specific enough or maybe I wasn't
Apology accepted anyway

Israel, give me 1 good thing Palestine has contributed to humanity? (protip: you cant).

I didn't apologise.

But whatever.

Israel, no one gives a shite about Palestine. Saudi and Egypt can take the Palestinians as refugees, instead of doing nothing

Dates and olives (or at least they did until settlers destroyed and stole all their crops).
