Annexing West Bank

I have Asked Tinmore for his solution like 10x and he always dodges. And he will again. He just likes to complain.

Okay, so you "believe" in this. I get it. The problem is that it doesn't give any specifics about what should be done practically.

Principles of equal rights, respect for rule of law and observance of human rights are not the principles of Islamist sharia.

Bingo!

Well, I KNOW what Tinmore wants to happen, practically. He wants the "right" of return to be granted to (only) Arab Palestinians and all their descendants and to flood Israel with said return. He then wants elections to be held with that new population. He expects it would result in an Arab majority and thus another Arab nation.

Thus when he claims to believe in the UN Declaration on Granting Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples including this statement:

2. All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.

he means all peoples except the Jewish peoples.

Thank you. So he wants something that will never happen.
 
I will add that every majority Muslim nation is a humanitarian nightmare. We don’t want anymore. Although UK and France seem to be moving that way.

Although a lower Court Ruled that HAMAS was erroneously placed on the Europen Union List as a Terrorist Organisation, earlier last month the JUDGMENT OF THE GENERAL COURT (First Chamber, Extended Composition) 6 March 2019, In Case T‑289/15, dismissed the HAMAS complaint the the EU placed them on the Terrorist List.

Hamas is part of the problem.
(COMMENT)

HAMAS (Islamic Resistance Movement) is certainly part of the problem, but also damn near every organization involved, and some not involved, had its part to play.

Would they if diplomatic opportunities and economic support were instead used to improve the local economies? The embargo ended?

What “large numbers” want to leave?

What people don’t seem capable of understanding is that just because a country is Islamic it is culturally similar.

America and Russia are Christian majority, as is Germany and Greece. I guess they are all the same huh?
Percentage of those wishing to emigrate stands at 41% in the Gaza Strip and 24% in the West Bank.

Gaza is being destroyed between Israel’s embargo and Hamas’ malfeasance, the economy is a wreck. I think they would not want to leAve if they had a better future.
Israel has offered to lift the blockade if Hamas disarms, so the Palestinians have created their own problems.

Hamas the internationally recognized terror group, whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel and all Jews? That Hamas? LOL

Yeah they are real solid citizens.
Who says they are? Hamas is part of the problem.
Saying Hamas is the problem is the same as saying the Palestinians are the problem. Consistently, Hamas has the support of about 50% of the Palestinians.

They aren't the darlings of all liberals, at least those still capable of critical thinking. But they became a 'protected class' of much/most of the liberal progressive movement for no other reason than they oppose Israel, as do most progressives, and modern American conservatives oppose much of what Islam preaches and practices and thinks we should protect ourselves against the intentions of Islamic radicals and terrorists. And apparently whatever conservatives believe must by default be opposed by the liberal progressive movement.

Maybe, becsuse like Jews and Christians they arent all the same. Why does the right feel it is so importent to demonize them?

Let me point out fundamentalist sects, Christian, Muslim, Hindu and even Jews, suck for women and rights.

Do you honestly believe that? How many of us even on this forum do that? I don't lump you in with the batshit crazy, looney tune component of progressivism. Why would I lump all of Islam in with the terrorist, subversive element of it? Why would anybody?

Whenever we go to automatic guilt by association, we become part of the problem and join the ranks of the intolerant and unjust that are the problem.

There are two reasons. First, liberals are people who just can't bear to hear stories that don't have happy endings. Two states for two peoples living side by side in peace is a happy ending, so liberal will cherry pick facts to try to give the story that happy ending. Second, liberals are essentially racists. They don't believe Arabs can be held to the same standards of conduct westerners are held to.

Or the vast majority of Christians for that matter. And I don't recall any Hindu group EVER referring to the USA as the 'great satan' and plotting to destroy as many of us as possible, all of us if they could. And just as Christian and Jews profess their faith voluntarily and observe it voluntarily however unorthodox or traditional as they be, so do Hindus. Coincidentally, Hindu 'scriptures' pronounce men and women to be equals.

All the primary religions are nowhere near as restrictive and violent/punishing as is much of Islam. And none of them require anything remotely close to Sharia Law.

To say that all or even most Muslims are violent, hateful, terrorist, or dangerous is foolish. But to deny that more than a few of them are all of that and worse is much more foolish.

I don’t think you know much about Hinduism if you think they are no where near as restrictive, violent or punishing as Islam. For Christianity it is mostly historic, but it was there. In Islam, like Christianity conversion is not supposed to be by force and like Christianity it often was. I also question what you think Sharia is? For most Muslims it is Halal, prayer, charity, not the criminal code. How Sharia is observed differs widely across cultures. Hindu women are certainly not equal, in many parts of India they must still cover their heads. Child marriages are endemic (iIndia and Nepal have amongst the highest rates) and widows are treated abysmally. The British banned the barbaric practice of Suti thigh it still occasionally occurs, where the widow is burned on the funeral pyre of her husband. Of course if the wife dies first there was no expectation that the man would join her. Woman have been disfigured by acid for inappropriate relations, ruining the families honor, not producing a boy child, but no one seems to notice. The caste system is alive and well keeping millions of people stuck in perpetual poverty at the mercy of higher caste cruelties. High caste men feel it is their right to rape low caste women who are then “ruined” for marriage. That is Hinduism along with the pageantry and exotic gods.

Hinduism states men and women are equal? Oddly, so does Islam.

Equality of Men and Women in Submission (Islam)

So why the hell is it that with these religions and Christianity and Judaism in their conservative sects, women are most decidedly not equal?
