    Yes you would make the left very happy, until they had to live amongst them. They would move from hating trump to loving him in short order.

    The Zionists have limited Palestine's water supply.

    By growing food to eat from water that has always been there.

    You are arguing against your own ideas.

    Ethnic cleansing includes forcible deportations. Israel would be committing a crime against humanity if they did it. I guess they learned something from the Nazis.

    Happening now all over the middle east and no one seems to mind except the POTUS and his people.

    Yes, the people living in Current Palestine will have to go. Call them refugees and send them to Hawaii and Washington. Everybody's happy.

    I'm saying that you are wrong about Palestinians not using the land to grow food. They do. And they used to be more successful at it, before Israel created the blockade.

    International law says they have the right of return as they left due to the danger of conflict.

    Yet, Israel is still preventing many non-Jews who returned from living in the homes they fled - even when they are Israeli citizens living in Israel.

    The charge of apartheid is blatantly obvious, not just as a result of this one fact.

    People do seem to mind, that's why there's a massive international effort to stop ISIS.

    By the POTUS and his people.

    I'm not surprised to see such closet bigotry from the Left. It's being exposed everywhere.

    Israel is preventing Palestine from drilling its off-shore oil resources.

    For a long time now, Israel has been stealing Palestinian oil. In fact, one of the reasons Israel is denying them fishing rights in Palestinian waters is that there are wells there.

    The theft of land and ethnic cleansing of West Bank are NOT the only crimes being perpetrated by Israel continuously over the last few DECADES.

    They can't drink oil, and oil won't grow their food. Maybe they will learn how to drill water wells in Hawaii.

    And the previous POTUS and his people, and about 40 other nations.

    But I can see why your worldview doesn't allow to acknowledge anyone's existence except Trump's.

    Hawaii and Washington have indicated they are willing to accept refugees with open arms. We will acquiesce to their wishes and solve a problem that eluded Obama and his diplomats.

    Now turn off the bigot spigot.

    First of all, BULL. It's their land, not Israel's. Israel is guilty of decades of humanitarian crime.

    Second of all, Palestine's water problem includes the fact that Israel is denying Palestinians access to the Jordon River.

    Third of all, Palestine needs its oil/gas revenue in order to develop its water, its agriculture, its national security - and Israel is stealing those resources.

    There's nothing wrong with Palestine that some freedom, an end to ethnic cleansing and prosecution of Israel for their theft of property and natural resources wouldn't solve.

    Every natural resource was there long before Israel or Palestine in their current incarnations. Palestine even had a 20 year head start.

    Why don't you want them to come to the US and enjoy it's plenty? Are you a bigot, too?

    These quotes shows a lack in understanding of history and a blatant disregard for the suffering of human beings.
    The religious politicisation of the region and the billions of dollars pumped in since 1947 by the vested interests in USA, South Africa, Switzerland et al. Creating a discounted weapons showroom.
    Put yourself in the position of the 1947 Palistinian population upon whom the British plonked a whole new population with a vastly different culture and ethos. These new Israelis hardened by years of maimings and murder in Europe, landed with an intensified ruthless passion, to develop a nation that they believed they had not only earned through their own bloodshed, but were divinely entitled to.
    Picture if you will Americans being displaced by returning Native Americans sponsored by the rest of the world, in a similar scenario. How would you feel about that?

    Tell me how you justify Israel denying the right of Palestine to EXPORT products it grows or manufactures.

    Tell me the legal basis for Israelis to steal the personal property and water rights of Palestinians living on the EASTERN BORDER of Palestine - the opposite side of Palestine from Israel.

    Tell me the legal justification for stealing Palestine's off shore petroleum resources.

    Tell me the legal justification for Israel to deny building permits to Israeli citizens to build homes on their own property according to local building codes - based on their ethnicity.

    The League of Nations...led by those same British... "plonked" Palestine into the region 20 years earlier.

    I just told you. Palestinians had a 20 year head start over the Israelis. It's not my fault they couldn't make anything of it.

    Avoiding an answer to your bigotry, I see.

    So your idea is to stand idly by while millions of people are ethnically cleansed?

    I live in Seattle. Yes, they can come here if they want - I'm here to welcome them.

    BUT, that is NOT a justification for allowing Israel to steal their possessions. It's NOT a justification for driving them from their homes, from their communities, from the land they love. It's NOT a justification for disenfranchising them, ruling them under the military law of a foreign power.

    We in America feel strongly about our ownership of our land. We CARE if some other nation decides to start driving Americans off of American soil. We created the UN with its laws stating that even if a region becomes part of some other country, the people living here STILL HAVE RIGHTS to their property and that they have rights of citizenship in their new country.

    You, on the other hand, are promoting humanitarian crime of major proportions, denying the principles for which we Americans stand - even the principle of the rule of law.

    I'm not dogmatic on the idea. We could always import millions of Jews. Hawaii and, as you say, Washington, have open door policies. We could make them Sanctuary States and smuggle them in by the boatload.
