RE: Palestine Today
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
You cannot believe it. I understand. But the law is totally opposed to your concept of "right and wrong (AKA: The Rule of Law).
Remember, "stone-throwing" is against International Humanitarian Law.
Bullshit! It is a time honored means of resisting oppression.

I have copied
Article 68 of the Fourth Geneva Convention more than two-dozen times for you. It does not matter how you wrap it, or paint it, the fact is that YOU are wrong in two ways:
◈ By furthering the notion that such actions as "stone-throwing" are legal
("time-honored") is a form of encouragement of those that prone to such actions.
◈ By furthering the notion that "stone-throwing"
(solely intended to harm the Occupying Power) is not illegal, you are abandoning Customary and International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in favor of an afront to
Article 43 Hague Regulation on matters of public order and safety.
Your encouragement of such harmful acts of defiance is understood, given the irrational, emotional and lack of intellectual development of the Arab Palestinian community. But that does not mean that it is any less improper or illegal to conduct intentional offenses which can cause serious injury or death.
You are attempting to use a "layman's term" (invade) and apply it to a complex question.
Foreigners went to Palestine, drove the people out at the point of a gun and stole their land.
What is complex?
(COMMENT)
Because your perspective is missing bits of key information.
◈ "Foreigners went to Palestine" → the bits missing are:
✦ Foreign Forces went to Palestine as a part of the greater effort to defeat the Ottoman Empire in the course of combating the Axis Powers in the Great War (World War One - WWI).
◈ "drove the people out at the point of a gun" → the bits missing are:
✦ It is generally the case that major conflicts throughout history have an unintended consequence of creating genuine refugees and displaced persons.
◈ "stole their land" → the bits missing are:
✦ The Ottoman Empire/Turkish Republic renounces all rights to the territories situated outside the frontier of Turkey.
✦ The territories and islands released by Treaty to the Allied Powers.
✦ The future of the renounced territories and islands to be settled by the parties concerned.
Your attempt to simplify the issues on the "Question of Palestine" does not come even remotely close to the key issues in hand.
REMEMBER: The 1967 Six-Day War started when the Arab League Forces renounced the Armistice Agreement and evicted the UN Emergency Force (Sinai Desert) between Egypt and Israel. The 1967 Six-Day War was not a separate war of its own, but the renewed engagement of enemy forces precipitated by the 1948 Israeli War of Independence. The 1967 Six-Day War was concluded in stages, with the first in 1979 with the Treaty of Peace between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Israel. The second stage was marked by the Jordan-Israel Peace Treaty was signed in October 1994.

How has the Hostile Arab Palestinian worked for them, and helped them accomplish their goal?
