No, and I have never argued that in all my years (decades) discussing this topic. I am arguing that international law MUST APPLY to Israel, as it does all other countries. Did you want to actually discuss the points I made?
Of course you are. You said "freedom of movement". I want to know what you mean by that. Is it that difficult of a question?
Wrong! Israel attacked first by maintaining an illegal and immoral blockade of Gaza for the last 16 years. They shoot at people fishing. They shoot at people farming . They executed an American citizen on board the Mavi Marmara
It does. You cannot hold onto land seized in a war. That is not a special law that applies to Israel alone. I have proven this a number of times. Israel has violated over 100 UN resolutions. That's just an indication of how fucked up your country is.
Oh! Add that to the list. Blockades are not illegal, except Israel.
What this is, is a little fucked up scenario in your head to excuse Israel for the atrocities they have committed. You are lying to yourself and to me with this bullshit mantra you keep spewing.
Great. Let's talk about how "Palestine" (actually Egypt and Jordan) "acquired" territory through force in 1948.
This one is. You are so cavalier about making Palestinian life a living hell. I would love to be there on judgement day when you have to explain to God why you treated these people so poorly.
This is simply not true. Citizens of Gaza can not enter Israel without Israeli permission, same as any other country in the world. But citizens of Gaza are free to exit Gaza without Israeli permission.
Don't change the subject. Palestinians have been living in that area for generations and they have rights. You just moved to that area at the turn of the last century and immediately started treating the Palestinian natives like garbage.
Great. We agree that blockades are not illegal. What are the parameters of an illegal blockade vs a legal blockade? Be factual and specific.
I told you to stop being obtuse. And stop editing my text. Now you are acting like a troll.
I'm not changing the subject. You continue to claim that the international law is that land can not be acquired by force. That is the RULE which needs to be applied equally to Israel and every other country. How did Palestine (Egypt, Jordan) acquire territory? Who did they acquire it from? When did they acquire it?
We entirely agree. They have a right to self-determination in sovereign territory alongside the Jewish people who also have a right to self-determination in sovereign territory. This isn't hard.
Shit happens.
I can't access the article. But there is a big difference between "Palestinians can't leave" and "Israel is preventing Palestinians from leaving".
