Bad day for white Americans... they'll all have to **** off back to Europe ... The key date re the middle East is 1948 ... that's when the boundaries for modern Israel were set ... without the UN and, in particular Great Britain, there would be no modern Israel ... subsequent moves to occupy land outside those boundaries remain flagrant breaches of International Law ...
You say 48. Pinkie says 67. You are both desperate to pick the date that ****s the jews over the most. I agree with Archers, accept how everything is now with land and borders. Work towards a peaceful future or go back to day one, sit back and watch the Israelis take all of their land back.
1948 was when modern Israel came into being - WWII ended in 1945 and the Allies recognised the need to find a homeland for Jewish people post Holocaust - 1967 was the 6 day war which involved other Arab countries and Israel - both are historical events, not random dates plucked from the ether to suit an argument ...
Anyway mate, the Oslo accords. Was a peace process in which Israel recognised the need for a Palestinian self governance, the PLO recognised Israel's validity and that realised that Israeli military control over Palestinian people needed to end. Areas of the West Bank were to be sub divided into Palestinian and Israeli control Only Israel never withdrew forces, and extremists on both sides sought to scupper the plans, with the eventual assassination of Yitzak Rabin Well worth reading through all of the details, as it still could be a plan for a start to a peace process.
Why you only going from modern Israel? Again picking dates. Go way back and it’s all Israeli land. It’s there’s. Palestinians settled there.
And go back before that and it's all Canaanite land, where Israelites occupied Palestine, or go back before that and it's Mesopotamian land that 'belonged' to what is now modern Iraq and Iran So Israel belongs to Iran ? See how nonsensical it all becomes. The only thing you can say with any certainty is that from that melting pot of tribes that have lived there, they all have some ancestral claim to it being their homeland. Which is why there needs to be a settlement that includes both Israel and Palestine
Because only modern Israel is currently breaking International Law ... are you suggesting the lands in question be given back to the Ottoman Turks who were ruling them prior to WWII ... when the Allies defeated them thereby paving the way for modern Israel? ... Jewish people would not now be in 'Israel' without that ...
Guys, I don’t want you two thinking I think any less of you. I believe every person on this planet has their prejudices. It’s just daft that you are denying yours when it’s blatantly obvious. At least Spurlock says what you all mean. He don’t like Jews and he gets miserable about the fact that Israel still exists. Respect Be like Spurlock and own your anti-Jewish feelings.
Israel didn't exist until 1948, so you mean the Israelites. Which we've just covered above, who invaded and occupied the area of Palestine in the land of Canaan. ffs Saf you are on a wind up fella
Then as Ponky says - if that is to be the prevailing principle, you would have to undertake DNA tests to see who has / has not got Canaanite blood in their veins - Now I'm no geneticist - but I suspect you'd end up with a population in modern Israel consisting of more 'arabic' people than 'jewish' people ... ...but if such a concept is going to become the base rule for deciding who gets a particular disputed land or territory ... just imagine the celebrations in a united Ireland
