Rather, since long before Hamas even existed, Israel has constantly refused to talk "peace" unless Palestinians forfeited much of their rights under international law, ignoring the fact that there can't rightly be peace without justice. Put simply, under international law:
While the Palestinian Authority, Arab League, and the vast majority of the nations in the UN have all suggested that peace can and should be achieved on such basis, Israel has never shown any interest in anything of the sort, and US veto power over the UNSC backs them on that. Blaming Hamas for a policy which has existed since long before they did is simply a canard. __________________
revisionist history much? arabs and muslims have rejected peace talks over and over and over again. israel wanted peace in 1948, arabs said no. israel agreed to a negotiated peace in 67, arabs said no.
wasn't until israel humiliated the arabs in 5 consecutive wars did they finally make peace, but only on the condition that they continue to use the palestinians as pawns.
- Gaza and the West Bank are Palestinian territory, every last bit of East Jerusalem included.
- Palestinian refugees of what is now Israel have the right to return, so Israel must either allow them to return or offer reasonable compensation in exchange for them relinquishing that right.
A) Gaza/WB/Jerusalem are all subject to negotiation which is the fundamental parameter of every peace deal rejected by the Arabs.
B) Palestinian "refugees" have zero right to displace Israeli citizens.
Palestinians are unique because they are the only refugees whose decedents are considered refugees, and only refugees whose mandate is not resettlement.
oh, and only refugees who are refuge of a state they were never citizens of.
the "right of return" is neither sanctioned by international law or any UNSC resolution.
israel did agree to set up a some sort of fund that would allow palestinians to receive monetary compensation, and reparate palestinians who were separated from their families in 1948 though most have no passed on or already gained citizenship during post-1948+ gestures.
the way the Arabs make demands you'd think they won 5 consecutive wars. this zero-sum mentality is the reason why the palestinians are still dispossed. they refuse to compromise, they negotiate to negotiate, and the so-called "moderates" can do shit when hamas is being empowered by the EU and UN.
fatah continues to say there is no humanitarian crisis in gaza, and allowing those sorts of buzzwords to come out only encourages belligerence and allows hamas to continue its false rule.
you've been proven wrong and wrong again, owned many times by courtesy and I...yet you refused to accept defeat.
