Israel isn’t a real country. It’s too tiny. It’s also right next to the Gaza strip. Nuking Gaza would make Gaza a part of no country and would irradiate most of Israel.
Legal definitions in the end are trying to turn a hammer into a scalpel.
They don’t fucking matter for moral judgments.
Israel is committing a genocide to anyone with even a highschool level knowledge of history. Want a simple definition that is very effective?
Any government that intentionally withholds food, medicine, and potable water from a population it considers undesirable is intentionally committing genocide.
Starvation is historically the most effective method and most used method of committing genocide. Everyone knows what the outcome is. Anyone trying to use legal definitions at this point is an asshole genocide denier trying to pretend they’re not.
The trick here, that was even covered in that paper, is the difference between what Palestinians think a one state solution is and what Israelis think a one state solution is.
In that study they found the Palestinians viewed a single country with equal rights for all as a one state solution. The Israelis thought it meant a state with all of the territory but without the Palestinians.
Frankly, the liberal Israelis wouldn’t be for a one state solution if it also meant giving up the land and property stolen from the Palestinians through terrorism.
“Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds”
Watch how fast they’d turn right wing if property in west Jerusalem or east Jerusalem had to be given up.
Also, this comparison is very apt. Israelis explicitly want to get to the point where they have the land and can just give land acknowledgments. This view though is dependent on "Never Again’’ meaning nothing.
My description is definitely hyperbole, but it’s still stretching the truth less then your ‘leftist Jewish people really do want as a majority this thing that the study shows as single digit, or just barely double digit at 10%.’ thing.
also, leftists don’t want things stolen through terror.
This really reads as a cope study for American Jewish people that don’t want to deal with the cognitive dissonance that the internal contradictions of leftism and Zionism automatically produces.
There is no ethical way to create a new homeland for a people that underwent a diaspora that is ethical when the land they want is already occupied.
Edit: plus it won’t matter as long as the state of Israel has a law requiring Jewish Israelis maintain the majority population. Oh yeah, that’s a thing.
Edit: this is done on a phone and I’m correcting autocorrect mistakes that don’t change the point.
Do they have the same contempt for Israeli IDF that intentionally kill civilians in Gaza or give cover to the hilltop youth committing ethnic cleansing in the west bank and demand the 15000 Palestinian hostages from the west bank be released? If not, they’re hypocrites at best.
I have Israeli-American friends that are organizing their cities JVP chapter.
Israel is not an ethical creation, and my father is older than this so called country.
Israel was formed through terrorism and maintains its power through terrorism, as all colonial states do. That word, colonial? That was the word Israel used to describe itself in the 50’s to Europe when trying to convince other Jewish people to move there and take land from the people living there.
Israel was formed by the Zionists who formed it through terrorism and ethnic cleansing. Truman, dumb fuck that he was, just formalized what existed through the targeted violence lead by the Zionists living there at the time.
Do you just post links hoping people won’t read them and they’ll be like ‘oh shit, this person is posting sources!’
A thesis for a masters degree in history in 1980(EDIT: 1990, not 1980) at Old Dominion university a source is not.
Especially for something as ahistorical as your point of view. Especially for trying to absolve the Zionists of any agency or responsibility for their actions. Truman and the international community voted and approved the partition plan. David Ben Gurion and other Jewish leaders in Zionist terrorist organizations like the Irgun and Lehi under the Haganah used it as a stepping stone to enlarge their territory through forced ethnic cleansing and murder sprees.
The Jewish settlers did not have the means to do what was done, having just been displaced from Germany and Poland.
I don’t know how to even respond to this it’s so nonsensical. All I can imagine is it’s an attempt to link in the Holocaust with the formation of Israel. As if the influx of Zionists to Mandatory Palestine started in 1945. If that was the case, Zionists should have just been given Austria or something.
It’s clear at this point you’re either arguing in bad faith or just so delusional as to be living in an alternate universe.
I will actually give you the benefit of the doubt here in the bad faith bit here though. You don’t seem malicious, you seem like you believe your own nonsense.
The Zionist terrorist organizations that ethnically cleansed portions of Mandatory Palestine through murder sprees of civilians are responsible
Stop posting the thesis of a dude going for his masters degree in history at ‘Old Dominion’ university written in 1980 as a source when this was recent enough that we literally have primary sources for what happened.
Do you actually read those? Those are graphs for what people want if a two state solution is available in the set of options in the study.
That twenty percent figure comes from if you remove all other possible options.
This its an example of ‘lies, damned lies, and statistics’ except as usual, it’s not the statistics doing the lying but the person misinterpreting them.
Edit: while I don’t think the author of this it’s biased, I think the methodology of the study is shitty. Not maliciously so, just it’s really hard to build studies that get to peoples underlying views.
No, he didn’t. The saturation bombing of Beirut was a step too far, especially as it was fucking with the US’s attempts to broker peace in Lebanon. It also actually pissed Reagan off who described it in the phone call as ‘a holocaust’
You have the weirdest, most demented, view of American history as it relates to Israel I think I’ve ever seen.

All of the comments like these don’t understand the word emergency.
There are numerous plausible reasons cell phone towers, computers, and TV will be out in a true emergency.
I mean, hell, cell phone were unusable on 9/11 due to congestion, and even though it was a horrible event, it want an emergency the like of which are possible.
AM is dead fucking simple. Seriously. If you know what you’re doing, you can make a receiver with a wire, a resistor, and a speaker. You don’t even need power to run it.
