You state:
"I see that you refuse to recognise Israel as an independent country that stands on its own and acts solely on the will of its citizens, who owe nothing to any other bodies - Jewish or international, either current or historical."
I disagree:
1. Israel is the Jewish National Home reconstituted after 3000 years pursuant to the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine - whose population is 80% Jewish.
2. The "accursed West Bank" (a term you frequently use) is part of the area in which this Jewish National Home was to be reconstituted under article 6 of the Mandate for Palestine and article 80 of the UN Charter.
You are free to disagree with these statements of fact- but there is little point in your posting any further comments to my articles unless you accept these basic propositions.
You further state:
"I never claimed that the historical facts that you cite for the umpteenth time are incorrect - only that you ought to shove your irrelevant history where it belongs, and don't forget to flush the toilet afterwards."
These historical facts are fundamental to an understanding of the 100 years old Jewish-Arab conflict that needs to be resolved if there is to be any semblance of peace in the Middle East between Jews and Arabs.
There have been some significant gains in resolving the conflict - peace treaties between Israel with Egypt and Jordan and the Abraham Accords - but Jew-hatred and the wish to wipe the one and only Jewish State in the world off the map still exists among many of the 57 nation states of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and a myriad of terrorist groups who are non-members.
You also need to moderate your language. Your crude remarks only serve to illustrate the paucity of your arguments.
