    That's ok lil Mike, you've chosen your side and nobody else will ever change that no matter what. You have no interest in Israel whatsoever, all you care about is America so it's best we talk no further about worldly affairs

    You've chosen Israel, even though you have no clue what Israel stands for other than a cash cow for the [terrorist] military industrial complex that USA is dependent on.

    Prove me wrong.

    What in Bloody Rafah HELL is the matter with YOU people ?!?
    YOU take Willful Ignorance to an utterly Ridiculous degree
    Have YOU any idea of how VOID these sorts of DENIALS
    ............................................................................. make YOU look ?

    I gave U the admitted Facts of Israel's clearly stated Intentions
    And the resulting ghastly Facts of Live on the ground Updates, that they followed through
    with those clearly stated intentions. Now YOU do not need a functioning Moral Compass,
    But YOU do need a functioning Mind & Brain to realize, that when you attack a refugee camp
    crowded with
    "starving refugees", that you can hardly claim that you did not purposefully
    ...................................................................................... intend to target and Inflict the resulting casualties

    Palestinians Killed After Israel Hits Tent Camp In Rafah

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024...s-killed-after-israel-hits-tent-camp-in-rafah

    From the Article:
    “A tent filled with displaced evacuees in the area, including an entire family, has
    been directly hit by a drone strike,”

    &
    In December, displaced people were instructed by the Israelis to move to the
    Tal as-Sultan area to avoid being bombed, our correspondent said, adding that
    “the narrative that Rafah is a safe zone has once again been proven false”.

    the hospital that received the remains.

    There is no such thing as a military industrial complex in the modern U.S. If there were major military contractors would never have to close down yet they do all the time.

    Of course . YOU don't need to prove anything, at all, to ANYBODY
    YOU
    don't even need to prove anything, at all, to even YOURSELF

    And for sure, as YOU have shown here, that Facts do not matter
    one iota to YOU. .. And that NOBODY at all, can prove anything, .
    at all, to YOU. .. Anything at all, that might contradict or disturb
    ... a set of preconceived Ideas and a carved in stone, Ideology

    This just doesn't work.

    First, the genocide wrecked on Gaza is not justified by an act of terrorism.

    As the ICJ stated, it is Israel that has responsibility for for those it has bottled up inside Gaza and has denied food, water, medical supplies, energy, sanitation and other needs.

    Nobody but Israel can provide the access and security for aid delivery.

    ICJ has required that Israel report back within a month of their ruling to demonstrate the improvement they have made in safety and aid for civilians.

    As for targeting, Israel is dropping bombs on the dense population in Rafah - the place that Israel told them to got to be safe, one of the places where there are huge numbers of starving refugees.

    It's not just the BBC that is pointing out that aid delivery is costing lives, and that is Israel's responsibility, obviously.

    I'm really tired of the "prove this story, now prove that story" style of argument. Israel is committing genocide. The people of Gaza are starving.

    Do you find it unreasonable to ask for definitions of terms used by another poster?

    Regarding Palestinians, the term was used for all citizens of Mandatory Palestine, including Jews. The definition of "Palestinian" changed greatly in the last decades, or rather was changed in such a way as to completely exclude Jews.

    Arabs can't even pronounce the word Palestinian. The Arab alphabet lacks the letter P.

    You're making my point. Spaniards with the surname "Smith" are obviously descended from immigrants, not from the indigenous population. As are almost all Americans and Australians, by the way.

    The Arab society is nothing like the Western nations you described. It's still tribal and clanish.

    You don't understand my arguments because you don't know anything about the region. How could you understand, if you don't even know what Palestinian means?

    Do not assume I don't know what 'Palestinian' means because I don't define the term upon request. Assume instead I don't want to define the term. Its not my profession of choice as I said earlier, and I don't especially want to dig into symantic games. Most words that I use each day, I have never actually defined. Most I have never researched via a series of dictionary definitions either. Yet I communicate, and can understand communication via common usage. Granted that will not work if diplomats try to write up a definition for the purposes of negociating a two state solution or prior conditional agreements. . They can handle it because it has been done many times before, and it will be done again

    You used the word 'indigenous'. I have not. Now that is even harder to define than using geography or nationality but that is equally true of any labels of indigenous populations including one you used in the above post.

    I am not interested comparing Arab society with Western. I am interested in an Arab or muslim dominated independent state or country because that is what we would be creating in a two state solution. And fundamentally those are like Western states . Egypt and Brazil have borders. Saudia Arabia and Kenya have governments. Oman and South Korea have laws .Kuwait and Australia have a military, and Syria and Luxembourg both have a diplomatic corps. They may or may not have their own currency. They may or may not have an formalized official language or religion but the foundations of an independent state remain the same across the globe.

    The pro Hamas/anti Israel etc side keeps claiming that the Israelis want to commit genocide but never explain why they are doing such a piss poor job of accomplishing that and actually engaging in actions that are contrary to actually achieving genocide. LIKE NOT USING their most potent aerial bombardments. Or warning non combatants to leave. seems to me if the IDF wanted to wipe out Gaza it would be rather easy to do given they have complete air superiority

    This post, like your other posts concerning Israel and Palestine, is so full of logical fallacies that it can't be answered.

    Unproven premises, gaslighting, leading questions, loaded language - all crammed in a few lines.

    Four major factors led to the disaster pompously called "two-state solution":

    1. Pan-Arab nationalism following the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Arab leaders dreamed of a big happy Arab Muslim state in all of MENA. An independent Jewish state was a thorn in the backside of that dream.

    2. Soviet-fueled anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda in the Arab world and at the UN, to boost Soviet Russia's standing and influence in the Middle East and North Africa

    3. The oil embargoes of the 70s, whose effects on some European countries were so severe that those countries are still funding anti-Zionist NGOs today

    4. International terrorism, initially the brainchild of our old acquaintance the Soviet Union. We know today that France and Switzerland made deals with terrorists, and the US even took a terrorist to Disneyland.

    Yes, I can prove all of the above. No, I don't think it's worth my time to do it now unless you show some interest.
