Shadowminister,

That is a question that only the Israelis can answer.
However it is clear that you can't keep on abusing
people and then blame them for fighting back.

Israel's occupation and its discrimination against
Palestinians are the main causes of the endless cycles
of violence in Israel and Israeli occupied territory.
United Nations have concluded.

A high level team of investigators appointed last year
by the United Nations Human Rights Council to probe
"all underlying root causes" in the decades long
conflict pointed the finger squarely at Israel.

"Ending the occupation of land by Israel remains
essential in ending the persistent cycles of violence.,"
they said in the report, adding that there was ample
evidence that Israel has "no intention of doing so."

Foxy,

Prior to the British occupation, the Jews were frequently targeted for violence by the "Palestinians" so by your logic they were perfectly entitled to fight back. It is just that they fought back too successfully that you don't like.

The armistice in 1949 settled with the Jordanians occupying East Jerusalem which was previously the Jewish quarter. The Jews were expelled their synagogues vandalised and access to the wailing wall was made extremely difficult.

This area was recaptured in 1967 and the Israelis have been allowed full access to their mosque even when they use this freedom to shoot at Jewish worshiping at the wailing wall.

shadowminister,

I gather that you don't accept what a high level team of
investigators appointed by the UN Human Rights Council to
probe "all underlying root causes" in the decades long conflict
and which pointed the finger squarely at Israel - is not
acceptable to you.

The report in the link I gave cited that "ending the occupation
of land by Israel remains essential in ending the persistent
cycles of violence." They said in the report, adding that
there was ample evidence that Israel has "no intention of
doing so."

I never believed that Jews could treat others in this way, but
sadly the abused have become the abusers. We can argue this
until the cows come home. The facts remain the same - whether
you like them or not.

See you on another discussion.

Cheers.

Foxy,

The UNHCR is riddled with puppets from countries with dictators and human rights violators and is more political than functional. So that its reports are riddled with politics and inconsistencies is no surprise.

shadowminister,
The situation appears to be in line with your assertion ! At least for those who think !

shadowminister,

The link I cited according to Media Bias/ Fact Check
has High Credibility and a factual reporting ranking.
As does it highly respected political editor - David
Hearst. The facts are - that no matter how hard you
argue pro-Israel. International agencies, political
journalists of repute and the whole world points
the finger at Israel in this ongoing conflict.

You can continue to try to do your usual Houdini act.
The fact that Israel is the abuser - remains!
