That's not the point. The point is you cannot acquire land by force. That has been outlawed ever since the end of WWII.That's the point, it wasnt Palestinian land.
And "that land" you are referring to, was never part of the mandate given to the Zionists.
You and I are going to have to agree to disagree on that point.Actually there was no land given to the Zionists.

I think your disagreement revolves around the proper way to view The UN Partition Plan, yes there was a vote on it in the UN but it was not fully implemented. Do we view it as setting land borders for 2 states or not? If we look at developments in international law, ie the 2004 ICJ Opinion, we see the highest international court effectively recognizing that there is an Israeli State and there is land they occupy which Palestinians have sovereignty rights in. So, the inference is lands were given to the Zionists. I know it was not all done lawfully, but I do not know how we undo what has been done.
The full range of your so-called 'inalienable rights', as you interpret them, never existed.RoccoR said:It is a state that refuses to participate in good faith negotiations for peace...
Since when are a people required to negotiate their inalienable rights?

You were never a State... you never had the coherence nor strength nor competency to govern yourselves.
Others made decisions for you, like a parent making decisions for a legally incompetent child.
It might not be entirely legal, strictly speaking.
It might not be entirely fair.
But none of that matters in Real Life, on the macro level, in matters such as this.
The rest of the world (the part that counts, anyway) ratified or came to accept those decisions that were made for you over the course of time.
Your childish, petulant insistence upon a range of rights and ownership that never existed for you in the past, with no accommodation for the others now in your midst for the better part of a century, has cost the world - and especially the Ummah - far more blood and treasure and angst than your value to the rest of the world.
In short, you're just not worth the effort, and never have been.
It simply took the Arab world a few decades to figure that out, but they've pretty much had it with you by now, and much of the rest of the world has been in that metaphorical 'zone' for a long time now.
In the Real World, dealing with Grown Ups, when one is in an inferior position (with respect to strength, influence, political power, etc.), one speaks softly, and negotiates the best possible outcome that one can, given the weak poker hand in front of them, then shuts the fuck up, and gets on with life, and hopes to broaden and expand and improve upon their position over the course of time, through dialogue and partnership.
In the sick, twisted, politically immature (downright childish) universe of the Palestinian Mentality, it's all 'me, me, me' - crippled by an inability to recognize, abide-by and operate from within the constraints of the Reality which God or the Fates or Pure Chance have thrust upon them, in order to extract the best possible yield from their circumstances.
This childish petulance and intransigence have cost the domain of Islam very heavily over the past several decades, and even the Ummah can slowly come to rhe realization that they're dealing with mad dogs who are simply not worth the pain and treasure and effort.
You have missed sooooo many chances over the years to cut a half-way decent deal.
Thirty or forty or fifty percent of your original demands is a damned-sight better than zero.
But that is what you are probably going to end-up with.
Zero.
You'll have nobody to blame but yourselves, for your stupidity.
Then again, it's not as if you'll be missed, by most of the rest of the world.
I read a baby just died from inhalation of gases in a shelling in Rafah in Israel's ground operations.
Many reports of gases being used on civilians.
And who is reporting this lie?
The people being gased report it, noone would know better then them.
(COMMENT)RoccoR said:The Arab Palestinian does not have an "inalienable right" to Israel or the sovereignty thereof; they have a territorial dispute.
Israel sits on Palestine land inside Palestine's international borders.
Where is the dispute?
(OBSERVATION)...refrain from the threat or use of force to violate the existing international boundaries of another State...
Have the Palestinians ever crossed an Israeli international boundary?
Treaty of Peace between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Israel said:Article II
The permanent boundary between Egypt and Israel is the recognized international boundary between Egypt and the former mandated territory of Palestine, as shown on the map at Annex II, without prejudice to the issue of the status of the Gaza Strip. The Parties recognize this boundary as inviolable. Each will respect the territorial integrity of the other, including their territorial waters and airspace.

As we watch the horrifying slaughter unfold in Gaza, bear in mind the Israeli psychosis that fuels and justifies it. Here are comments from three rightwing Israelis two leading politicians and a professor who very much reflect a strain of mainstream thinking in Israel, one that the international media largely avoids noting.
Each, in their different ways, is advocating a genocide of the Palestinians.
Ayelet Shaked, of economics minister Naftali Bennetts Jewish Home party, calls on her Facebook page for murdering the mothers of what she terms Palestinian terrorists (a very broad concept indeed in current Israeli thinking) so that they cannot give birth to more little snakes:
They have to die and their houses should be demolished so that they cannot bear any more terrorists. They are all our enemies and their blood should be on our hands. This also applies to the mothers of the dead terrorists.
[The terrorists] are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/they-a...inian-women-enters-israeli-mainstream/5392634finally we have Moshe Feiglin, a deputy speaker of the Israeli parliament and a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, urging the Israeli army to kill Palestinians in Gaza indiscriminately and use every means possible to get them to leave:
[Netanyahu] announces that Israel is about to attack military targets in their area and urges those who are not involved and do not wish to be harmed to leave immediately. Sinai is not far from Gaza and they can leave. This will be the limit of Israel’s humanitarian efforts. … All the military and infrastructural targets will be attacked with no consideration for ‘human shields’ or ‘environmental damage’. …
The IDF will conquer the entire Gaza, using all the means necessary to minimize any harm to our soldiers, with no other considerations. … The enemy population that is innocent of wrong-doing and separated itself from the armed terrorists will be treated in accordance with international law and will be allowed to leave. Israel will generously aid those who wish to leave.
This psychosis is not going to get better on its own. In fact, it’s going to get much worse. How much worse will depend entirely on the continuing inaction of western leaders.
