Props to you for going back to dig this out....
Here are your questions with my answers:
so show me how the settlements enhance the prospects of that mate? I don't think they do
While you’re at it show me how the settlements enhance Israel’s security? I don't think they do
I can understand with the Golan heights but explain it to me with the West Bank settlements help a two state solution become a reality. I can't
unless you don’t want a two state solution. If so tell us your plan? Get rid of the terrorists in the area and all of the people who's only mission in life is to destroy Israel and all Jews, then a two state solution is simple. Proof is in the many hundreds of thousands of non-Jewish people living and thriving in Israel already. Its an inclusive democracy generally and people of all walks of life are welcome there.... all except the terrorists and the people who want to kill Jews
now on to why I feel i can comment on a complex situation, do you have a PHD in every subject you talk about? No I don't
tell me something, what are the things that Israel are doing wrong both historically and more recently? Primarily not caring what the rest of the world thinks about how they go about destroying the threat of terrorists...
Overall, I see you...I can see passive aggressiveness when I read it... I've answered your questions and I'll continue to post on here about my views based on my personal experience and my educated research of BOTH sides of this complex situation
I won't have someone try to intimidate me into not speaking up by implying I'm misinformed or not considering the bad things that the Israeli government have done
I have never said that they are perfect but their actions are built on a tapestry of centuries of antisemitism and violence against them
Firstly thanks for taking the time.
but on your last couple of paragraphs there is no passive aggressive stance from me at all.
And I’m not trying to shut you down for a second. It was you that said ‘if you haven’t got skin in the game’ then why are you commenting, why do you care… and accused people of antisemitism because they dared comment. That my friend is trying to shut people down.
you are projecting what you have done on to me, not cool.
Maybe instead of gaslighting you should try to ask people questions and find out their position on subjects
FYI if you asked you would have found out
I want Israel to exist in peace with its neighbours and the wider world. Not just for now but for a very long long time into the future.
I also want the Palestinians to have a viable homeland of their own and live good lives.
I support a two state solution where everyone can live in peace
I see the importance of Israel to Jewish people world wide.
And I also see the importance of Palestine to Palestinian people.
I’m not going to keep quiet, and I’m not going to pick a side.
I’m going to call out wrong when it happens on both sides, and try to find light and togetherness when that happens as well.
