O dear David no brains, everyone who disagrees with the Murderous Settlers & IDF,the theft of land & water & demolishing of Palestinian homes,the imposition of Apartheid & the creation of a huge Concentration camp called Gaza,they are all Jew haters.
Well if that's the case we should say the the present Israeli Govt are following in the footsteps of the people who created the Warsaw ghetto.
Your your own worst enemy Dave,you know it & the propaganda Dept you work for knows it,enjoy the result,its all your own work

"The Jews are a peculiar people: Things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.

Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people, and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it. Poland and Czechoslovakia did it.Turkey threw out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchmen. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese--and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel, the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab.

Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis. Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world."

Dear David Singer,

A quick lawyerly dive into semantics is rather unbecoming but not unexpected.

How about addressing my substantive argument;

“What you are demanding is that we in the West, including the US president and Secretary of State, see the former as far more heinous than the latter.”

What kind of monsters do you wish us to become?

Between 1948-1967 there were no "Murderous Settlers & IDF,the theft of land & water & demolishing of Palestinian homes,the imposition of Apartheid & the creation of a huge Concentration camp called Gaza" as claimed by you.

No Jews lived in Gaza or the West Bank. They had all been kicked out in 1948 and not allowed to return. Jordan and Egypt were in occupation.

Why was there no peace during those 19 years? Why wasn't a Palestinian State declared in what they now say they will accept 66 years later provided all the Jews are kicked out again and Arab refugees are allowed to emigrate to Israel?

I am afraid the Palestinian Arabs have well and truly missed the boat in trying to create a second Arab State - in addition to Jordan - in former Mandatory Palestine - when that could have happened with the stroke of an Arab League pen at any time between 1948-1967.

Twenty years in fruitlesss negotiations since 1993 prove once again that the Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

The invasion of Palestine by six Arab armies in 1948 was merely the continuation of the racial animosity displayed towards the Jews since 1920 - attempting yet again to reap havoc and destruction on Jews.

There need not have been that invasion. The Arabs should have accepted the UN decision to divide western Mandatory Palestine into one Arab State and one Jewish State.

As in 1922 and 1937 they rejected similar opportunities because they wanted it all - and still want it all.

Their avarice knows no bounds. That was their decision to make but they must accept the consequences.

They do not know and have never known how to compromise. 21 Arab States and another 36 Islamic States in this world are not enough.

Now a Caliphate has been declared with yet another Islamic State- bringing with it the death and destruction and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Moslems and Christians - with lots more in prospect

You have made your bed. Enjoy lying in it.

Dear David,

Tragic indeed.

So much for those stupid Arabs, but why should Israel punish ITSELF as a result? Nothing could be more toxic and corrosive to Israeli society than this ongoing holding onto the West Bank (and especially Eastern Jerusalem and that idol-wall within it).

With the military might it now has, Israel no longer needs those territories for its security - in fact, the resources used up there hold up the IDF from better training and equipping.

Can't there be a different punishment for the Palestinians for their stupidity which does not cripple Israel itself? Perhaps forcing them, kicking and screaming, into having their own independent state will be their worse punishment!
