Oh shut-up!RoccoR is one of the most informative, civilized and gentle posters on this board.
Many of the pro-Israeli and Pro-Palestinian posters around here, at many times, were left dumbfounded when crossed with his well based, clean from incitements, sources.
You stating he's a nazi is rude and offending, and shows you have very little idea about who to pounce and who to listen to.
Don't make fun of yourself any longer and apologize to him while you're at it.
He try's to put lipstick on a pig by defending Israeli aggression and crimes against humanity.
It's like saying, "Hitler was a victim of bad PR!"
Rocco, you polite Nazi you,
As the aggressor, Israel has no right to self defence.
As the defender and resister, Gaza DOES.
Hamas may not be the nicest club in the world, but it is an ARMED RESISTANCE MOVEMENT, which comes out of the population, so of course has support within it.
Hamas did try to go the democratic route, but with an Israeli / US embargo on any dealings with them since they won the election, coupled by the Israeli sponsored attempted coup there by Fatah, they were forced onto a war footing, then a siege footing.
Hamas, may still be guilty of war crimes.
THAT MAKES NO GODDAMN DIFFERENCE TO ISRAEL COMMITTING WAR CRIMES.
This is not a situation where you can say "Well the other boys were being bad tooo",
Suck it up and face your crimes.
Over 200 rockets and mortars fired by hams into Israel in the months preceding the invasion on July 4th is hardly a defensive move by hamas. You cant claim that they were retaliations to Israeli attacks as many were many days after Israeli retaliations to the rockets. Look at the list dildo provided and you will see that Israel responded to hamas rockets within 12 hours, then no fire from hamas for 2 or 3 days. Don't forget the evidence of hamas using human shields that is a war crime, and any deaths of civilians in this situation is another war crime by hamas. Try reading the Geneva conventions and see just what war crimes hamas has committed, and how many times it has committed perjury in respect to civilian deaths. Just one example is the UN school allegedly targeted by the IDF that the UN now know is a hamas LIE. An enquiry will show that hamas has LIED repeatedly about the deaths and the majority are terrorists, militia, hamas leaders and human shields

Gaza has an international border with Egypt. The rest is just an armistice line.
Treaty of Peace between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Israel said:Article II
The permanent boundary between Egypt and Israel is the recognized international boundary between Egypt and the former mandated territory of Palestine, as shown on the map at Annex II, without prejudice to the issue of the status of the Gaza Strip. The Parties recognize this boundary as inviolable. Each will respect the territorial integrity of the other, including their territorial waters and airspace.

America is not controlled by AIPAC. Just because there is a strong support base for Israel in the US doesn't mean that AIPAC is the mechanism. There is an Italian-American Club, but that doesn't mean the IACV controls America.
There is no evidence that Israel has the "intent on expelling and terrifying killing and maiming civilians." This is a totally unfounded allegation.
With each passing day, new evidence emerges that cast a shadow on Palestinian allegations.

Maybe the UN will, and maybe it will not. I wish I had your crystal ball and was able to see into the future with such clarity.
I'm not sure that the Palestinians deserve any more recognition given the chaos of the State, the inability of it to stand on its own, and the incapability to forge a peace through friendly relations. Even its fellow Arab States, who are normally aligned against Israel, are beginning to question the wisdom of the Palestinians.

OK, let's take this apart.
"Gaza is not a state."
True, it is a part of Palestine.
"It has no Treaty with Egypt."
Also true, Palestine inherited its international border upon the demise of the Ottoman Empire and it was never at war with Egypt. It was not necessary to define an already existing, and undisputed, international border with a treaty. It remains the international border between Egypt and Palestine.
The "International Boundary" just happens to follow the same line as the discontinued "Armistice Line" between Egypt and Israel (without prejudice to the Palestinians).
I am not sure which piece of "border" you are talking about here. We should note, however, that there was no armistice line between Egypt and Israel. That line was between Egyptian forces and Israeli forces. If that line was between Egypt and Israel it would be a border not an armistice line.

EGYPTIAN-ISRAELI GENERAL ARMISTICE AGREEMENT
PREAMBLE
The Parties to the present agreement, responding to the Security Council resolution of 16 November 1948 calling upon them, as a further provisional measure under Article 40 of the Charter of the United Nations and in order to facilitate the transition from the present truce to permanent peace in Palestine, to negotiate an Armistice; having decided to enter into negotiations under United Nations Chairmanship concerning the implementation of the Security Council resolutions of 4 and 16 November 1948; and having appointed representatives empowered to negotiate and conclude an Armistice Agreement;

P F Tinmore, Phoenall, et al,
You have to understand that our friend "P F Tinmore" is arguing from the position that ALL of the territory formerly under the Mandate for Palestine in 1948, is Palestine (including Israel). Palestine, in his view, is the greater claim that encompasses all. Israel is an intrusion on to Palestinian Sovereignty (All of the former Mandate Territory).
It is the position of HAMAS as replicated in the Covenant, and it is the position of the Palestinian Authority as replicated in the Charter.
(COMMENT)In a nutshell you are saying that there is no actual border between Israel and gaza and Egypt and gaza. All that exists is the border between Israel and Egypt that was negotiated and is now customary international law.

P F Tinmore's position is, that from the frontier of Egypt, to the frontier of Lebanon is all Palestine; with no borders in between. And in some respects, this is true. There are no documented borders. This is not to say that in reality, the international community doesn't recognized that Israel has "jurisdiction" and "effective control."
However, my argument is based on the fact that the "Tinmore Claim" is merely a claim unrealized. At no time has the Arab Palestinian demonstrated clear and unambiguous sovereignty, control, or leadership over any of the territory since before the fall of the Ottoman Empire. That the claim itself if fallacious and un-demonstrable in any real and concrete sense. Even today, the chaotic government called the "State of Palestine" is a loosely connected (so called) "Unity Government" consisting of HAMAS, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Fatah; as demonstrated in Cairo this past week in the negotiation over a ceasefire. This is not a real demonstration of "jurisdiction" and "effective control."
Let me say this again, not since before the Ottoman Empire has the Arab Palestinian demonstrated any "jurisdiction" and "effective control" of any territory from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the frontier of Lebanon to the frontier of Egypt; not for a thousand years and not today.
It is illusionary.

'Help Israel avoid war crimes charges,' Netanyahu urges US lawmakers | JPost | Israel NewsPrime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu appealed to American legislators to help Israel stave off what is likely to be a concerted global push to haul the countrys military and political leaders to international courts for alleged war crimes committed in Gaza, The New York Post reported on Thursday.
According to the Post, during a meeting on Wednesday with members of Congress who are visiting Israel as guests of AIPAC, Netanyahu urged the American representatives to summon their powers in assisting Israeli officials who wish to avoid trial by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

You need to stop reading ISLAMONAZI lies and try reading the truth. The land passed from Ottoman ownership into LoN ownership. In the process the LoN defined borders to facilitate the creation of trans Kordan and Syria, once these two areas came into existence under the LoN mandate Palestine ceased to exist. At no time did a nation of Palestine exist until the PLO declared so in 1988, and according to the UN and customary international law Palestine does not exist as a nation because it refuses to take responsibility for its own destiny and determination. It has failed to act in a manner of peaceful co-existence with its neighbours as laid down in the UN charter it has recently signed. Until the UN accepts Palestine as a full blown member it's nationhood will be is dispute.
So produce the evidence that the Palestinian leaders signed a treaty giving the nation of Palestine borders that include Israel, Syria and trans Jordan. As they are the borders you keep plugging on here.

So, the Palestinians lost their rights to the land when the West defeated the Ottomans?
Keep dancing for Zion Rocco, screw indigenous rights no matter who controls the land. A sure Recipe for War!
