JUDENFREI...
Thursday, September 4, 2008 at 04:18PM I see that a group of prominent Palestinian figures has proposed a radical change in strategy to demand a single, bi-national state if the current round of Middle East peace talks fails.The Palestinian Strategy Study Group, an EU-funded project (Natch!) written by 27 leading Palestinian figures from across the political spectrum, argued that the current two-state framework for peace talks is failing to bring the promised independent state. Instead, it suggested ending the negotiation process that has gone on now for nearly 20 years, reconstituting the Palestinian Authority into what might become a "Palestinian Resistance Authority", and developing a form of "smart" resistance. "The central aim will be to maximise the cost of continuing occupation for Israel, and to make the whole prospect of unilateral separation unworkable," it said. The final, and most striking proposal, is to shift to a "single state outcome" as the Palestinians' preferred goal. This, it said, would regain the strategic initiative for the Palestinians. Sure. The Palis want one State - they want Israel free of Jews. Judenfrei. Their loathsome anti-semitism is always there - never far beneath the surface. Truly Israel is cursed having these barbarians on its borders.

David your ignorance of the history of the situation is frankly embarrassing.
RS,
No. Your ignorance of reality is what makes me blush.
David
I know you're in favour of the ongoing occupation of the West Bank - you've said so numerous times (I believe you think its justified by Biblical history but am open to correction).
DO you therefore propose that Palestinians living in West Bank get a vote/ representation in the Knesset?
eg like your general Israeli Arabs?
If not why not?
thanks.
As to the single state solution - i cant see your practical problem with it. If you dont believe in a two state solution then surely one-state is the only alternative? - bar ethnic cleansing which I would imagine you do not agree with it.
'Sure. The Palis want one State - they want Israel free of Jews.'
So its fine and dandy for the zionists to steal land and then attempt to de-arabize the galilee, ethnically cleanse vast tracts of historical Palestine from its native inhabitants in the effort to create a pure Jewish state. You seem to be fine with that David.
'Their loathsome anti-semitism is always there..'
Eh David if a bunch of Jewish zionists murdered your kin and forced you off your land in an effort to establish a Jewish state would you not feel slightly aggrevied? You seem to think that the anti-semitism that exisits among palestinians appeared out of nowhere, ofcourse, 'anti-zionism' would be more accurate.
'Truly Israel is cursed having these barbarians on its borders.'
People resisting terrorism and land theft are barbarians are they? Truly unionism and zionism are great bedfellows eh? If Israel is unlucky to have Palestinians on its borders it was pretty stupid to steal their land then if they didn't want any PALESTINIANS near them eh?
Like I said David....embarrassing !
Israel believes that Judea and Samaria should be part of Israel. This "Palestinian Strategy Study Group" seems to have come to the same conclusion.
Basis for an agreement?
The one state solution is the only viable option left to the Palestinians and they could gain international support by moving towards a completely democratic block and demands for total inclusion from within a single state. If they can hold out for long enough they could present themselves completely legitimately in the condition they already exist in, ie a large and growing marginalised second class minority with virtually no rights within the state.
The massive obstacles in they way are hamas, whose current strategy serves Israel more than the Palestinians and an entrenched siege mentality that probably seems completely insurmountable. Its pretty much the Palestinians last hand in the game. If events take a turn for the worse globally they will be the first to suffer, so time is hardly on their side.
"So its fine and dandy for the zionists to steal land "
Buy land. The word is 'buy'.
"and then attempt to de-arabize the galilee, ethnically cleanse vast tracts of historical Palestine from its native inhabitants in the effort to create a pure Jewish state."
Vast tracts, lol that's a good one. You insult the memory of millions of dead Jews, gypsies, Bosnians, Sudanese, Tibetans when you bandy the term 'ethnically cleanse' about like this. The Arabs RAN AWAY from those 'native lands' when they failed to finish what Hitler started in 1948. And in 1967. Why? Because the swine couldn't comprehend that the Jews wouldn't (and DIDN'T) treat them the same way they were fully intending to treat the Jews if they had won - with complete extermination.
Arab Jew-hatred existed long before Israel - there was this chap called the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, for example. Good pal of Hitler's, you might have heard of him.
Calling *Israel's* actions 'terrorism' is a perfect example of the morally inverted universe you inhabit.
DSD you trot out the same old tired zionist rhetoric.Lies compounded by more lies. Ben-Gurion himeself admitted they were taking land not theirs. Plan Dalet you seem ignorant of. If the founding fathers of Israel admitted they were stealing land and ethnically cleansing villages and towns of their palestinian population, how can you with a straight face claim they were not???????
Put down the Joan Peters and pick up the Finkelstein you sheep !
