Hummm! You ask the question and you make the claim.
georgephillip, et al,
I keep asking!
(QUESTION)
What are the two (or more) races involved in the Racism?
Why are you perplexed about racial tensions in the holy land?
------ ------ ------ ------- ------ ------ ------ ------- ------ ------ ------ -------
Obviously many of those you support in Israel are very clear on the difference between Jews and Damn Arabs.
(OBSERVATIONS)
- You clearly stated an argument based on Racism; a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
- Ethnocracy is where a government is controlled by a particular race or national group. Here you implied Israel is a "racist state."
(COMMENT)
You unceremoniously highlight the "difference between Jews and Damn Arabs." This is odd in that they are both "Semitic" cultures. So what difference are you speaking of in this context. Clearly, you go on to say, that it is on the basis of "racism" and "ethnocracy." And that clearly goes back to "race." Practicing Jews and Arab are both Semitic.
The rift and separation between the citizens of Israel and the Arab Palestinian is based on the establish pattern and history of criminal and adverse behaviors exhibited over an extended period of time. And it is this historical evidence that makes the "right of return" for most Arab-Palestinian (who would otherwise qualify) so difficult.
Already it is in conflict with the
HAMAS Covenant and the
PNA Charter.
In GA Resolution 194(III) the first key qualification is that the Arab-Palestinian "live at peace with their neighbors." Of course, this falls in line with the general Rule of Law (RoL) that is expressed in Resolution 2625 (The Principles).
A/RES/2625(XXV) PRINCIPLES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW FRIENDLY RELATIONS AND CO-OPERATION said:
(b) The principle that States shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered,
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
Every State has the duty to refrain from the threat or use of force to violate the existing international boundaries of another State or as a means of solving international
disputes, including territorial disputes and problems concerning frontiers of States.

But this first key qualification and the RoL come in conflict with Palestinian enacted beliefs and policy.
- Article 13 of Covenant: There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad.
- Article 14 of Covenant: Since this is the case, liberation of Palestine is then an individual duty for very Moslem wherever he may be.
- Article 15 of Covenant: The day that enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In face of the Jews' usurpation of Palestine, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised.
- Article 8 of Charter: On this basis the Palestinian masses, regardless of whether they are residing in the national homeland or in Diaspora (mahajir) constitute- both their organizations and the individuals- one national front working for the retrieval of Palestine and its liberation through armed struggle.
- Article 9 of Charter: Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.
- Article 10 of Charter: Commando (Feday'ee) action constitutes the nucleus of the Palestinian popular liberation war. This requires its escalation, comprehensiveness, and the mobilization of all the Palestinian popular and educational efforts and their organization and involvement in the armed Palestinian revolution.
By their own words, they deny themselves the "right of return" if we use your interpretation of UN mandate.
This position was reaffirmed by HAMAS within the last few months:
EXCERPT - Hamas Refugee Affairs Department head Dr 'Issam 'Adwan said:
"The Palestinian resistance requires the Palestinian people to remain united under the resistance banner, and it [the resistance] has the right to smite with an iron fist any hand that seeks to rip apart the people's unity and [cause it to] abandon its rights. It must also pursue the agents of the occupation wherever they may be, even outside Palestine, because leaving them in peace damages the Palestinian cause and places the Palestinian people, its leadership, and its resistance in grave danger.
SOURCE: SENIOR HAMAS OFFICIAL: THE RESISTANCE IS ENTITLED TO ATTACK ISRAEL'S EMBASSIES, INTERESTS, AND OFFICIALS WORLDWIDE -- AND THE INTERESTS OF ITS ALLIES, HEADED BY THE U.S.
The separation is NOT based on race, as you imply, but based on the fact that the Arab-Palestinian has declared a "Jihad" and "armed struggle" as the solution.
Not only is it disingenuous to suggest that there is a racial component as the catalyst for the separation, but is also cast doubt on the intent of the racism claim
(to be purposely inflammatory). One of the purposes of the separation is to maintain a distance between the belligerents; protecting the citizenry not party to the dispute or conflict.
The denial of the "right of return" (the separation) is wholly self-inflicted.
Most Respectfully,
R
