Oh, so we're back to poisoned wells and blood libel now?

It was certainly an experience watching people attempt to redefine the meaning of genocide so that they could apply it to Gaza.

It's public knowledge and on Wikipedia my guy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cast_Thy_Bread

Part of the 1948 genocide and invasion of Palestine.

oh images. any crazy guesses what it will look like in 10 years time? ethnic cleansing anyone?

It is being widely reported that Israel is moving closer towards annexing the West Bank. Basically they are formalizing the annexation (bit by bit) its not "news" but its in "the news".

Lol Israel accepted the UN partition plan... Palestine rejected it, refused to sit in the same room as any jews during negotiations, and gathered their allies to attack Israel as soon as the UN and Britain left after the failed negotiations.

That was one instance in 1948. By that point, Jews had already been accused of poisoning the wells for centuries throughout all of Europe and the Middle East, so don't pretend like this antisemitic trope only emerged as a rational, fact-based response to an Israeli war crime. The blood libel part is of course even worse bogus.





Column 4: I think virtually all of the pro-Israel voices in the West agree that the ongoing landgrabs in the West Bank are a crime and need to stop. I, for my part, certainly do.
Column 2 and 3: The change between these two maps reflects the territory the Arab side lost as a result of losing the Six-Day War. It's perfectly normal for territory to change hands from the losers to the winners of a war.
Column 1-4: these maps exaggerate the extent of the Palestinian territory loss by assigning the vast swaths of uninhabitated desert to the Palestinians in the first column and then to Israel on all subsequent ones.

Do you even listen to yourself? is it, or is it not now, Israeli land? Look at the Pro Israeli's in this thread - THE IS NO AND WAS NO PALESTINE EVER. ITS OUR LAND. On the one hand your saying "its a crime to land grab" and on the other hand your saying its perfectly normal for territory to change hands. By your logic, Israel won the war so they are justifiably taking land. by right of conquest. All the pro Israel voices in the West agree its a crime? and needs to stop? really? Have you spoken to them all, because last i checked the west has supported Israel in what it has done, does, and, will do, tomorrow. Dont listen to what they say, see what they do. That should show everyone exactly what the West(ern leaders) thinks of Israel.

I deliberately wrote "pro-Israel voices in the West", rather than "all pro-Israel voices". The radicalism of the Israelis in this thread isn't lost on me.


Political control over infertile, uninhabitated swaths of desert doesn't matter much, but greatly influences the visual appearance on the maps you posted.


It's a crime to grab land in (nominal...) peace times while the rule of law applies. During wars, legality and all that kind of stuff is out of the window. If you wage a war of aggression on your neighbor, particularly when its fought with genocidal intent, but then get your shit kicked in, it's only fair to lose territory. That's how it has always been handled throughout human history. And it's what happened to the Palestinians and their Arab allies in both 1948 and 1967.

If you had land, that was barren, and the next day that land belonged to someone else, would you care? I see your argument of right of conquest, but the West Bank was not involved re: Oct 7th. so let me get a cup of hot chocolate sothat I can read your spin on this one. Also, can I just ask, what is your overarching rationale here. Why are you trying to explain this? Is it your view that its the Palestinians fault? What is your core belief in supporting all this?

For my part, the Jewish religion was shafted by The West and by the Germans in WW2, they were shipped off to Palestine, Israel if you will, they made a home, kicked the people that had welcomed them to the curb, commited various acts of ethnic cleansing and continue to do that to this day. What am I missing? Yes the indigenous population carried out terrorist attacks, nothing new to history, nothing special there. What makes it that you have to explain away things like ethnic cleansing, theft, murder and collective punishment?

I can readily admit the religion has got a raw deal from everyone, this is not hard. likewise I can agree with bombing Gaza after Oct 7th. but for 2 years? and a stated kill ration of 50:1? i can agree with bombing Iran, again no problem, FAFO, but bombing Qatar? during negotiations? Israel has done so many things that are simply not helpful - for Israel.

I will say it again if you want to punish someone, do it. be done with it, but dont torture them for 70 years.
