And if they can, why don't they do it? Or if they can't why not?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-53849668766801230432009-06-28T21:27:03.275+03:002009-06-28T21:27:03.275+03:00"why Palestinians were not thus allowed to mo..."why Palestinians were not thus allowed to move back across the green line and settle where they please?"<br /><br />On 29 November 1947, the UN moved to establish an Arab Palestine state. since that entailed a truncated Jewish state to be established as well, the Arabs continued their 30 year terror campaign and decided to wipe out that state-to-be. In my rule book, aggressors don't get rewarded. Between Dec. 47 and May 48, the war against Israel-to-be was carried on once again by maruading gangs supported by the local population, just like during 1936-39. over 1000 Jews were killed. this was an intra-communal conflict. the bad guys lost and they do not get rewarded.<br /><br />"If we're going to condone Jewish settlements, in all fairness, shouldn't Palestinians have just as much of a right to live in the same housing? "<br /><br />and in 1967, after 19 years of terror, infiltrations, the founding of Fatah in 1964, the PLO (which "Palestine" were they "liberating" if not Israel? Judea and Samaria were in Jordanian hands), once again a war broke out. defending itself against aggression, Israel has the best right to be in those territories and Jews have all the rights in the world to live there and develop it.<br /><br />"Again, I assume since Israel is democratic and treats its citizens equally, it should allow anyone who can pay for it, to live where they please." <br /><br />About 1,000,000 Arabs do live in Israel, many now coming to call themselves "Palestinians". So, you see, they do live where they want to and they can even tell Jews they can't come into their cities, like in Um El-Fahm. Ain't that democratic?YMedadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333122797414935958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-63317112317300615722009-06-28T19:21:19.622+03:002009-06-28T19:21:19.622+03:00I always wondered, maybe you could help me out her...I always wondered, maybe you could help me out here, why if Jews were allowed to settle in Judea and Samaria, why Palestinians were not thus allowed to move back across the green line and settle where they please? If we're going to condone Jewish settlements, in all fairness, shouldn't Palestinians have just as much of a right to live in the same housing? Talking purely equality of opportunity. Again, I assume since Israel is democratic and treats its citizens equally, it should allow anyone who can pay for it, to live where they please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-37201179574259521192009-06-28T09:49:04.735+03:002009-06-28T09:49:04.735+03:00Nope, they aren't.Nope, they aren't.YMedadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333122797414935958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-17033452470838458292009-06-28T08:45:52.685+03:002009-06-28T08:45:52.685+03:00This is all playing with words trying to cover a s...This is all playing with words trying to cover a simple straightforward fact: settlements are illegal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
