Israel's occupation is morally indefensible : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 17/12/2015

There are four ethical theories - Kantian, utilitarian, virtue-based, and religious - that demonstrate the lack of moral foundation in the continuing occupation.

Good luck getting the morally bankrupt to find the moral imperative in the long abandoned two state solution and living in peace and harmony, with their genetic cousins!

As they say in the classics don't give up your day job, or indeed hold your breath!

Thank you Alon, thank you, thank you!

All so true, oh Cry, the Beloved Country.

What a load of nonsense !
The Koran claims any land previously occupied by moslems, even if
ejected by the locals, remains moslem land forever.

This is why the Arabs claim Israel is an occupier in Palestine.
It is a nonsense of course, the Jews lived in that land some
thousands of years before the invading Arabs arrived.

Just because the Romans drove them out & then they came back later
and the area was occupied by Jews and Christians until the Arabs
invaded and killed most of the jews and Christians, a project that
is still in progress.
To eject the Arabs was the object of the Crusades.

The moslems occupied all of Sicily, part of Italy & all of
Spain and occupied Southern France.
They also penetrated up to Czechoslovakia.
Of course in more recent times they were defeated at the gates of
Vienna by Austrian and Polish Armies.
Expect them now to try and apply the same principle to those ares of Europe.

Alon

Your argument applies equally to all occupations of all lands by all states.

And of course no mention of the rejection of the 2 state solutions in the past by the Arabs. Alan knows that most muslims don't believe that Israel has a right to exist. They reinvent history and use the sleazy lefist media and kids as shields in attempt to win the sympathy of the gullible.

You forgot the Aristotelian theory of morality, Alon ben Meir, as well as the LEGO theory of morality.

Aristotle said that the highest morality is the safety of your own people. On that score Israel is about as moral as you can get. The Jews are fed up of being persecuted by everybody else, they have returned to their own country, and they are calling the shots in their own country now. Every Jew in the world knows where they can flee to when they are being persecuted again. That will soon apply to the Jews in Europe fleeing Muslim persecution in Europe.

Hopefully, the Jews may even provide a refuge for the stupid Christian Eurotrash fleeing Europe, when the Muzzies finally take over Europe.

Then there is the LEGO theory of morality. That is, the damned Muslims have ethnically cleansed everybody else in the Middle East, so it is about time that somebody else returned the compliment.

Anyhoo, I don't like Palestinians because they hijacked our aircraft and made us there enemies. What the Israelis do to Palestinians, I could not care less.

Go Israel and the IDF.
