Is Israel not imperialistic when it does not define its borders though, and continues to "win" more land for itself ? We dont see Palestinians winning land. This speaks to Israeli's might, and it could be argued, their imperialism.
When you say "the only thing that stood in front of peace" is this not ignoring the decades of conflict and Israeli government policies, as well as the culture of dehumanizing a minority and disproportionately responding to terrorist attacks, which have not occurred in a vacuum? When you remove a people from an area, ethnic cleansing, does this not make you question your statement?
When you speak of Jihad, is it not true that from the River to the Sea was an Israeli quote, or that Israel has the ability, and is doing, just that ? Wiping them off the map, block by block, with 2000lbs bombs, and removing them from the West Bank, family by family ?
Israel is Israel, it was terrible what happened to jewish people in WW2 but to treat a people like vermin, like less then human, to displace them, round them up, to group them all together and then to kill them with 2000lbs bombs, I dont know what to call this. It looks like Israel wants to terrify the Palestinians, then open their borders and say "go to the four corners of the world and never come back".
No it’s not ignoring anything.
I’ll say it again, the only thing that stand before peace is the Palestinians failure to accept the Jewish state. All the rest is a direct result of that and will not be solved until they do.
You can criticize Israeli policy. Fine. But the truth will always be that the Palestinians refusal is the only thing that prevent peace in this region.
