The "Two State Solution" is dead.
by another_liberal
+1 Reply

The Chief Palestinian negotiator has said the long expected "Two State" solution of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is dead. His reason is the position taken by the Israeli leadership as its pre-condition for negotiations:

"Netanyahu, Erekat said, had told the Palestinian president 'that Jerusalem will be the eternal and united capital of Israel, that refugees won't be discussed, that our state will be demilitarised, that we have to recognise the Jewish state, that it's not going to be the 1967 borders, that the skies will be under his control. This is dictation and not negotiations.'"

Netanyahu is in the saddle, and he intends to ride.

The reality is that Hamas, the elected representatives of all of Palestine, have been willing to recognise the Apartheid State within the legal 1967 borders for at least 10 years. Unfortunately the Jews have never shown the slightest interest in peace, merely more genocide and land grabbing.

Enough with the boldface!

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE YELLING OR SOMETHING.

Please note that "the government of Israel" is not equivalent to "the Jews".

I disagree, if there were enough "decent" jews around there wouldn't be any Zionism or even an Apartheid State. The Government of Israel are Jews, of the worst kind.

Israel is a democracy, its govt. reflects its citizens views, whomever they may be, just like ours does.

By similar logic, we can hold white people in general responsible for Guantanomo Bay and Abu Ghraib.

Israel is a representative democracy, not a direct democracy like Athens in the time of Pericles. The Jews are not the same thing as the Israelis and the Israelis are not the same as the government of Israel. If you want to place some amount of blame on Israelis who have voted for governments which support any of the actions the Israeli government has taken which you disagree with, that's one thing; it's quite another to lay the Israeli government's actions at the feet of the Jews. Sarah Silverman may be responsible for a lot of terrible comedy, but she is not responsible for civilian deaths in Israeli rocket attacks.

I can't say I've heard of a democracy where land/house sales are limited to one section of the community or where the amount of education investment varies depending on the recipient's religion or where citizens are routinely evicted from their houses and the land/house turned over to terrorists..

Israel is a racist apartheid state and can only loosely be described as a democracy if you are a Jew.

Look, chappie, you're yelling. Putting your nonsense in bold doesn't make it not nonsense.
Re: I'm rolling my eyes.

Jews are collectively responsible and frankly bearing in mind their indiscriminate genocide against Gazan women and children in Dec/Jan I don't think they have any right to complain about that

If you don't like it either piss off or turn your monitor brightness down.

Making text bold affects the width of the strokes in the glyphs, not the darkness of the text. I'm afraid your suggested solution wouldn't help matters. And I have no desire to piss off. You're the racist twit, not me: you piss off.

Putting every single post you make in bold is inconsiderate, and the equivalent of yelling–which makes you not just a racist twit but an uncivilized racist twit.
Sarah Silverman committed genocide in Gaza? [eom]
