'Undoubtedly the occupation is onerus,...'

Well well the perfect example of weasel words.

Your argument that because Palestinians had to fight in Israeli courts to be paid for their labour in building Israeli controlled compounds on stolen Palestinian land some how assigns responsibility to Palestinians for the illegal activity is fairly typical of you propagandists and your weasel word type arguments.

Thanks for allowing me to ridicule your position.

You Israeli propagandists are always this easy. You tie yourselves up in stupid little arguments that undermine your Government's disgraceful policy of land theft.

I almost forgot.

I was right when I said:

"Perhaps you'd like fo comment on this statement

'Jews in fact lived in the West Bank prior to 1948 pursuant to such vested legal rights before being driven out and dispossessed by the invading Jordanian army.'

and it's accompanying imputation that it justifies land stealing by Israel and the resettlement of Jews in the occupied territories.

Surely you'll duck for cover or mouth off the usual Israeli propaganda ... as you do."

You ask Danielle:

"Perhaps you'd like to comment on this statement

'Jews in fact lived in the West Bank prior to 1948 pursuant to such vested legal rights before being driven out and dispossessed by the invading Jordanian army.'

and it's accompanying imputation that it justifies land stealing by Israel and the resettlement of Jews in the occupied territories."

Why ask Danielle - and not me - to comment on what I wrote? Why put imputations into my words that are not there?

My point was that Jews were living in the West Bank prior to 1948 pursuant to the rights granted to them in accordance with the provisions of the Mandate and article 80 of the UN Charter - a fact that is never mentioned when considering the competing claims for sovereignty that are made by both Israel and the Palestinian Authority in relation to the West Bank.

Arab propaganda would have you believe that the Jews only arrived to live in the West Bank after 1967. That is wrong. They lived there before being driven out in 1948 by the Jordanian Army.

Do you agree?

Tell me David do you think any Israeli's driven out of the West Bank by the Jordanians constitute a reasonable defence for building illegal settlements?

Don't give me any spiels just an hoinest answer.

I'd bet a church aganist a pile of money you don't answer without propagandising.

David has provided evidence that settlements on the West Bank are legal (see above) - you really need to retain facts. There was never the expectation nor condition that this area be Judenfrei.

Provide evidence that a) this area was intended to be Judenfrei, also evidence b) of settlements built on private Palestinian lands.

The Arab world is effectively Judenfrei - Jews having been violently expelled. Now you wish the West Bank also to be Judenfrei. This puts you on a dangerous collision ...

Whilst you a free with the name-calling, those of reasonable mind notice that you never provide evidence for any claims you make. This is not debate. As stated previously, you waste everyone's time, including your own. Unless you are prepared to provide evidence, not propogandist slogans, then it is absolutely pointless responding to you. Others may wish to, but I won't.

You might think in terms of Jewish and Arab, which is disgracefully discriminatory. I think in terms of Israeli and Palestinian.

You need to take a long hard look at the racial overtones contained in your language and arguments. Currently you are racist.

I won't address your racial arguments but let them simply define you.

David

'do you think any Israeli's driven out of the West Bank by the Jordanians constitute a reasonable defence for building illegal settlements?'

Do you wish to align yourself to Danielle's racist views?

Why don't you answer my direct questions?
