No understanding of the Israel-Palestine conflict is possible without a comprehension of its root cause.

The conflict is not primarily a Jewish-Arab one, but a Jewish-European one.

Jewish cultural roots are Semitic in origin and, as such, have everything in common with all semitic-Arab cultures, including Islamic cultures.

Even the pre-Pauline Jerusalem Community, the foundation of what became Christian culture, is Semitic in its cultural roots and was a direct product of the Semitic Jewish cultures of its day. Its ethos even heavily influenced Islamic theology.

Christian European cultures, on the other hand, stood in direct conflict with Semitic Jewish cultures so vehemently, and very soon after their establishment in the Roman Middle East and Europe, that even the term 'antisemitic' became a misnomer for anti-Jewish that has survived, mostly as a badge of honour, for 2000 years.

It's why no Israeli leader's defence of Israeli actions against its cultural brothers - the Palestinians and Arabs - is complete without a smattering of Holocaust and European pogrom references.

Europeans are the cause of the conflict, not Arab peoples.

The Holocaust is a culmination of European Jew-hate, not an aberration.

Unique to the Israeli state is the notion of its 'right to exist' and that Jewish people have a right to a homeland.

This right is expressed only in the Israeli context and is not extended to the likes of, say, the Basque people, nor, for that matter, to the Catalans.

That's because there is no Palestinian state...

Oh, well - Benny wil soon put Hamas to bed and then what will all the luvvies do?  Whine about mythical stories of Israel rounding up civilians and starving kids etc?

All the news footage of families leaving Gaza City before the final offensive show well-fed people.... fat kids... fat mothers.. padded fathers....

It's all a pack of lies and posturing by some stupid 'woke' countries by dropping supplies that are not even needed - but they sure feed Hamas.

Israel is doing the whole world, including the Muslim world - a huge favour by destroying radical Islamist groups.  the defeated Hamas remnants won't be getting away int Egypt, will they?  The Egyptians will gun them down...

You're next..... if Israel falsl ... as you and your kind are trying to make happen.

Miester I think you may have IDS, Israeli derangement syndrome.

So why hasn't the UN ratified such a state by a vote of majority of nations?

So what if the Arabs do?

Western nations have not even said where it is and what are its boundaries and so forth - they just do an Albo and give the nod to some mythical state that might exist some day - but nobody knows where yet.  Your back yard sound good?

Non-western nations?  Same deal...

Now which of those nations supporting a Palestine state are we going to sign up for being the site of that 'state'?

Let me give you a hint - NO Arab state ..... NO Western state .... NO non-Western state ... NO UN member state .... so where is it going to be IF it is ever RATIFIED as a nation?  So far there is no nation to recognise - Gaza is a locality not a state and certainly not Palestine.

that help you out of your general confusion?

Just on that, a few days ago, you were posting atrocity porn and fantasising about what you'd do to me if I mutilated your daughter before raping her...

Hysteria, much?

Nearly all Zionist groups approved of Resolution 181... with notable exceptions, such as Menachem Begin and his Revisionists and Yitzshak Shamir and his Lehi (Stern Gang) - who saw it as too little, too weak - but all saw it as merely a stepping stone towards the creation of Greater Israel, likely through armed struggle, involving genocidal actions if and when all else failed.
