@Parsifal; re your post which included "...
If you cannot acknowledge history as a factual matter and not see that feeding any sort of intolerance usually has long tail consequences ... and...
Tolerance that puts aside intellect is a dangerous thing. "
Dear oh dear, you're still talking of tolerance only to indulge in what you regard as the unfitness of Palestinians to exist anywhere in proximity to the state of Israel. That's called 'apartheid' and it's what's being pursued at the ICJ against Netanyahu's genocidal regime.
Now 4WIW, I strongly support the existence of a democratic and law abiding '
State of Israel'. I accept that following WW2 Palestinian territories were confiscated by the victorious allied forces and provided to enable Israel to exist.
What I do NOT accept is the intolerance and racist hatred being directed at Palestinian civilians by Netanyahu's genocidal regime and as resourced by the USA.
To assist you to reflect on other than what Netanyahu's back-slappers expect your regurgitate:
Historical Fact A: Prior to the end of WW2 Palestine existed as a separate state with only a small percentage of Jews in its population mix.
Historical Fact B: Countries including the USA and the UK created the state of Israel by doing to Palestine what Russia is doing to Ukraine.
Historical Fact C: Wealthy Americans and wealthy Australians now demand the ethnic-cleansing of what remains of Palestinian territories so they can own 'settler' properties in what they regard as their right to '
The Promised Land' - their '
Holy Land'.
Historical Fact D: Since the end of WW2 the US has inflamed, exploited and exacerbated the conflicts which existed between Israelis and Palestinians. The USA has become Netanyahu's military force throughput the Middle East.
Historical Fact E: Under Netanyahu's Regime Palestinians have been treated as being sub-human.
Historical Fact F: Netanyahu's regime breathed life into Hamas - pouring $Millions into their coffers.
Historical Fact G: On October 7th, 2023 Hamas exploited the incompetence of Netanyahu's Regime and committed alleged atrocities against Israelis.
Historical Fact H: With the full support fo the USA, Netanyahu's Regime declared war and set about killing Palestinians on the ratio of 40 civilians to each alleged Hamas operative as '
acceptable collateral damage' [50,000 Hamas operatives x 40 civlians = 2,000,000 dead Palestinian civilians - that's ethnic cleansing].
Historical Fact I: Netanyahu's regime rejected ceasefires and thought the USA publicly demanded that civliaisn be protected, behind the scenes the USA continued to pour military resources and financial support into the hands of Netanyahu's genocdial regime.
All of this is NOT about me and it's NOT about you either. It's about what's being done to Palestinian civilians and their very right to exist. Your denial of such with a limp comment about they cannot be trusted could have been alleged of those who were gifted Palestinian Lands after WW2.
