Time to erase Israel's Green Line : Comments

By Neve Gordon, published 19/6/2015

If once the Green Line was conceived as a border that could provide a just solution between Israelis and Palestinians, currently the Green Line serves as a very effective mechanism of colonial control.

It seems to me that Israel can do what it wants. It has the support of many western countries particularly America. If said countries were to impose imbargos like they are doing with say Russia then Israel would be forced to stop all these activities and pull down that wall, stop forceable taking land from Palestinians and recognise the rights of Palestinians.
These backers of Israel are too afraid of the political consequences to do what must be done.

The Green Line is Israel's border, to which it must return as the only way to save itself from its own bad spirit of 1967. Anyone who speaks against it, is either a Jewish supremacist who wants to have the land beyond; or an Israel-hater who wants Israel to rot away from that 1967 infection. As opposed to both types of extremism, moderates, both Jews and Arabs, should continue to mark that line and pray for the day when Israel returns to its borders.

How Israel treats, or mistreats Arabs within its borders and outside, is a serious but completely separate issue.

The people of Abu Ghosh are good Israeli citizens and an integral part of Israeli society. They are extremely well treated and so should every Arab who respects Israel's right to exist (within its own borders). The attempts of Ayman Odeh to incite and alienate those Israelis is despicable. Next time you visit Israel, it's recommended to go there and have the best Hummus in the world, as well as to attend the Abu Ghosh music festival.

The heading of this post should read: Time To Erase Israel!

It long ago forfeited any right to impose its will upon the Middle East. It has proved many times via its brutality and cruelty and fanatical, obsessive mindset it doesn't deserve to exist at all.

It wouldn't exist at all if it wasn't propped up by the imperial U.S., another hegemon which will eventually cause a nuclear war and human extinction.

What a nasty piece of work you are. You disgust me. There are many different opinions about Israel. But I don't recall anything as obnoxious and offensive to decent people. You should be ashamed of yourself.

TTBN:

I guess 'decent people' don't steal land belonging to others to build illegal settlements on. Decent people don't torture and use white phosphorous munitions and carpet bomb a people who cannot defend themselves.

Decent people do not use snipers to kill Palestinian children or use bulldozers to demolish Palestinian houses or run over protestors and neither do they starve women and children (mass punishment) or impede them at endless checkpoints or deprive them of medicines.

Decent people don't invade Palestinian homes in the middle of the night and take children away to be interrogated.

These are the kind of people who disgust me along with immoral, brain-dead people like you!

You are letting your hatred rule your life, David G. You must be a real loser. I'm glad I don't have to carry all that festering poison around like you do. I've heard that the sort of hate you have burdened yourself with is like (you) drinking poison and waiting and for the object of your hatred to die. Just think of all those Israelis getting on with their lives, and not even knowing you exist.
