RE: The NEWER Official Discussion Thread for the creation of Israel, the UN and the British Mandate

BLUF: This is just another example of just how blind the Arab Palestinians are when they look in the mirror.
given that the HoAP will not provide any reparations and restitution for violations to Article 68 of the IV Geneva Convention, and criminal acts taken against the people and the State of Israel since the inception
(COMMENT)
Forgetting the Ilan Pappe types - those are people - still hung-up on what happened in the distant past, that want to force unpopular political sets of solutions onto the problem. For people like Ilan Pappe there is ground truth hidden behind the fog of prpaganda. There are solutions that if forced onto the situation, will be far more damaging and destructive to the Arab Palestinian cause then anything they considered. They are not worried about people or cultures. Over 90% of the Arab Palestinians have never lived in Israel and have little or no ties with Israel. Most of the Arab Palestinians have burned the bridges in front of them that might have crossed into a new and better way of life.
As far as far as Reparations and Restitution goes:
Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts said:
A State responsible for an internationally wrongful act is under an obligation to make restitution, that is, to re-establish the situation which existed before the wrongful act was committed, provided and to the extent that restitution: (a) is not materially impossible; (b) does not involve a burden out of all proportion to the benefit deriving from restitution instead of compensation.
If it does turnout that the territories under dispute are ruled (say by the ICC) to be a "state," that could cause the Arab Palestinians more difficulty then they have ever imagined.
reparation ‘It is a principle of international law that the breach of an engagement involves
an obligation to make reparation in an adequate form. Reparation therefore is the indispensable
complement of a failure to apply a convention and there is no necessity for this to
be stated in the convention itself.
restitution The fundamental principle governing the duty to make reparation for an
internationally wrongful act was expressed by the P.C.I.J. in the Chorzów Factory
(Indemnity) (Merits) Case (1927) P.C.I.J., Ser. A, No. 17 at 47: ‘reparation must, as far as
possible, wipe out all the consequences of the illegal act and reestablish the situation which
would, in all probability, have existed if that act had not been committed’. Thus, it appears
that restitutio in integrum is the primary form of reparation, pecuniary reparation only
applying where restitution in not possible.
It is unlikely that Israel will reward the Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) (Jihadist, Fedayeen Activist, Hostile Insurgents, Radicalized Islamic Followers, and Asymmetric Fighters) criminals all,
Oh geese, another name calling thread.
(COMMENT)
Each terrorist act, in and by itself is a crime.
"Name calling" is only "name calling" if the accusation is unfounded. Otherwise, it is a descriptive noun.
This may have been overtaken by WWII and the subsequent 19(+) Counterterrorism Conventions, the definition still rings true. And it fits the Arab Palestinians perfectly.
Most Respectfully,
