I don't think you understand what an apartheid is.(Original post by DMcGovern)
Europe must understand the direction in which we are heading. We are racing towards a single Israeli-Palestinian state that will end up as the apartheid state of Israel. Such a joint state will not allow the Palestinians to exercise their full civil rights. Europe and the UK must speak up and recognise Palestine in order to save the two-state idea.
We need to say to Israel: “This land is not exclusively yours. It also belongs to another indigenous people that have been living there for centuries: the Palestinians. We recognise this people’s right to share this land and its right to an independent state
How many Muslims can marry a Jewish person in Palestine?
None.
In Isreal there are no problems.
I'm not using this as an attack on Palestine, more to debunk the word apartheid.

They recently banned a book from the high-school curriculum in Israel about a love story between an Israeli and Palestinian because it promoted intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews.

Although I must point out that while it is argued strongly that it is not currently an apartheid state, I originally stated that the country of Palestine is heading towards a single apartheid Israeli state. -

In terms of helping Palestinians, achieving peace in the region and creating a two-state solution this achieves absolutely nothing.
It does however have the potential to annoy our allies.
It does give implicit support to Hamas.
I will probably vote nay. -

So basically whenever Israel is attacked by Hamas (in like 90% of cases, they attack Israel first), Israel seizes more land (something i find acceptable since the war is provoked). Now the left have basically accepted that the Arabs should not have attacked Israel in 48 or 67 and hence don't object to Israel's gains in those wars but since then (mainly the left) seem to think that Israel eating Palestinian territory is wrong. -

I'm wary, as some have already said it might have already been done, but beyond that it's a practically meaningless gesture that achieves nothing, something I'm not a fan of.
Arguably it should also be a motion, it is for the foreign office to establish it's opposition, not the minor parties, and as such would request that the speaker take down this item as improper.

the government can be bound by Acts of Parliament which it doesn't support. There is no limitation on the power of Parliament to add to, withdraw from, or exercise powers of the government, they are not powers reserved for the government. -

What would recognising Palestine actually achieve? I'm curious as I'm rather undecided on this issue.
Whilst I accept that Palestinians face harsh circumstances, would recognising the state of Palestine not simply be seen as a hostile act by Israel, serving only to strengthen their resolve?
I feel that only a joint effort with the US to recognise Palestine would really have any effects, and I'm sceptical at best of them proposing such a thing. -

Aye, Israel's treatment of Palestinians is, by and large, sick and evil, and it's important that we do everything we can to show our disapproval.

Israel: The UK recognises the state of Palestine, we are so terrified now and will definitely stop our actions against Palestinian terror immediately and let these people form a state we recognise to attack us from!!!!
I don't this so. -

We can recognise Palestine (many states have already) but we cannot force Israel to do. I don't see how this would make a positive impact, even though I support Palestinian sovereignty.
(Not surprised who wrote this tbh.)

Also I'm sure there's been a repeal since then. -

The state of Israel was created in 1948. The land which had previously been under British rule was divided and handed to the Zionist Jews to create Israel.
They then killed thousands of Arabs and chased them off other parts of the land to secure it.
according to international law it is inadmissible to acquire territory by war
self-described Jewish state
From the UN resolution 181: "Independent Arab and Jewish States"
(and those within Israel are subjected to systematic discrimination)
There is also the issue that anyone who is Jewish - no matter their ethnicity or nationality, the could be a convert - can go and be given Israeli citizenship
and land...for free.
Few of them have had a legitimate trial
Physical abuse and torture are frequent. -

I agree with the naysayers above. They need to solve this conflict between themselves and this bill is very unlikely to have a positive outcome.

The land which had previously been under British rule was devided and handed to Jews and Arabs to create their national states.
Then Arabs attacked newly created Jewish state and were defeated.
The 1948 Arab-Israeli War killed hundreds of Arabs, Jews and British. Some 700,000 Palestinians caught up in the turmoil fled or were driven from their homes. On June 11, a truce was accepted by all parties. Israel used the lull to undertake a large-scale reinforcement of its army. In a series of military operations, during the war it conquered the whole of the Galilee region, both the Lydda and Ramle areas, and the Negev. It also managed to secure, in the Battles of Latrun, a road linking Jerusalem to Israel. In this phase, 350,000 more Arab Palestinians fled or were expelled from the conquered areas.
according to international law it is inadmissible to attack and destroy a newly created national state.
Just because Arab groups were involved in the war doesn't mean that the illegal capturing and occupation of foreign land could ever be justified.
Just your opinion
See, for example, Qumsiyeh, Palestinian Refugees Right to Return and Repatriation (http://ifamericansknew.org/history/ref-qumsiyeh.html)United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East,http://www.unrwa.org/
That's what Jewish homeland was created for.
Just your opinion.
See, for example, B’Tselem – The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, “Absolute Prohibition: The torture and Ill-Treatment of Palestinian Detainees,” May 2007, http://www.btselem.org/publications/...erly_forbidden
