Israeli forces shoot unarmed protesters from across Gaza security fence, killing at least 15

I actually like this exchange.
The Palestinians lost a war in 1948?
The Arab Palestinians started (and lost) a civil war against the Jewish Palestinians. Not just once in 1948, but continuously since. And yet they keep trying to make war against the Jewish Palestinians (now called Israelis).
And since they've finally realized that standard warfare is likely to continue to have the same result for the foreseeable future and since key Arab neighbors have made peace with Israel, the Arab Palestinians are stuck with a propaganda war where they ride a delicate balance of committing violence and demonizing Israel as being responsible for that violence.
Thus they waste $15 million and a couple dozen lives on a propaganda "March" that gets them exactly nowhere. And, in fact, only exposes them.
No link, huh?
(COMMENT)
Technically, the Arab Palestine did not exist in the sense of a competent government. Therefore, technically, they cannot be considered defeated.
Hmmm.
I guess that since Arab Palestinian did not risk anything, they did not "lose" anything,
Hmmm
Clearly, Israel has effective control. Clearly, the Arab Palestinians did not lose anything. So, why are the Arab Palestinians trying to cross into Israel? Surely it is NOT to reclaim something they did not lose in the first place...

Clearly, Israel has effective control.
Effective control is a term used to define an occupation.
(COMMENT)
Well, effective control is an element of occupation, but it is also something that is necessary to establish sovereignty. IF a country "A" cannot establish effective control (ie country "B" has control) THEN country "A" cannot be a sovereign; the "supreme power or authority" over that territory.
Clearly, the Arab Palestinians did not lose anything.
750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes and their land stolen did not lose anything?
(COMMENT)
You cannot have it both ways.
You cannot challenge the statement that the Arab Palestinians lost territory; then turn around and say their homes and land were stolen
(ie the Israelis established effective control over the territory).
So, why are the Arab Palestinians trying to cross into Israel?
There is no "into Israel." Israel has no borders. Where would into Israel be?
Rocco, you are a hoot.
