Why would I be in trouble? I am not attributing that view to what I think of Israel, I am highlighting it as a view Netty had about Palestine.

View attachment 20826

I am clearly answering your point by saying what I would not do, to your point about how far you can be pushed, as an example of what HE did do in claiming the holocaust came from a meeting with a Palestinian cleric. Hence my point about saying it to heighten tensions further.

I can stand by what I have said because I am not saying what you are claiming I have said.
I understand, of course, that's not doing what I thought it was.

I'd say the difference between being one of the architects of something like the holocaust and being a strong supporter of it who meets with with and encourages those carrying it out is a fairly small one.

I'm fairly sure Netanyahu himself clarified that some time ago.
 
Till before Hamas existed? As in the point I was making.
Before Hamas existed there was instead the PLO. Guess what the PLO's stated aim was?... To establish an Arab state over the entire territory of the former Mandatory Palestine, advocating the elimination of Israel. Over time the PLO softened their stance and started to at least indicate they would agree a two state solution.

Hamas then defeated the PLO in Gaza on a mandate of there only being a single Islamic state on that land. The people in Gaza elected them on that basis.

As a Jew I am not stupid enough to use that comparison

Well that was not the context of the original speech made, that is clear as day and it took Jewish Scholars and leaders to come out and rebuttal the claims and given the timelines it was not even a fit of what he claimed.

If he was trying to claim what you say, he could have said it as you say it, he never did
 
I am talking on a human every day level

Although I agree with the principal of your comments, there are plenty of things at that level which could make a difference on both sides. One would be Netanyahu not being in the picture anymore. When you you have someone that dangerous making up lies with intention of stoking up even more division, then you have problems. So he needs to take one between the eyes and the whole scenario would be much better also.
I'm not convinced much would change for the better unless the people and those in power in the countries surrounding Israel actually accept the ongoing existence of Israel

I think there is a need for that on both sides of the fence. Which is my overall point. Just because Israel government do what they do with a little more swagger and diplomacy, doesn't mean they don't look and view Palestine with the same level of distain as the other way. I think its pretty clear from the verbiage that comes
 
Hamas took over Gaza in 2007. You must know this
Took over from the PLO who were formed in 1964 with the goal of eliminating Israel through armed struggle.

Hamas overthrew the PLO on the mandate of continuing that same agenda after the PLO indicated a willingness to negotiate a two state solution. The people of Gaza elected Hamas knowing this.

Israel have been prepared to sit down and negotiate two state solutions and made offers (at least two of which on the face of them were pretty damn good offers). The states immediately surrounding Israel are ruled by people who only want a one state solution. The last party to sit down and negotiate a two state solution with Israel was overthrown by Hamas, with the support of the people in Gaza (and Iran of course).

Yet around 75% of the country want a single state solution.

Anyway, I will leave you and others to try and find a solution, I am happy to have empathy for both sides of the fence on a human level and believe politically they both have cnuts servicing them.

PEACE OUT
 
One is a terrorist state one is a democracy. Even though the current elected chap is not amazing …. I know which country I’d rather live in. It’s like when Blair was in charge, get elected but was morally corrupt.

At the end of the day Israel has the right to exist, Jews have the right to a homeland. Islamists have no right to participate in the modern world. They have plenty of countries to choose to prescribe their indoctrination. However the progressive Muslim majority countries like the UAE Saudi etc wouldn’t tolerate anything to that tune.
