    >> I think we can both agree that what #India has now is much better than the #British #Raj. The separation of states, good or bad in itself, was managed disastrously, though.

    Sure. This gets to the crux of the matter — The difference between an #idea and its #implementation.

    Idea of a #TwoStateSolution was better for #India - #Pakistan. It was better for #Israel - #Palestine too — had the latter not recklessly rejected it in 1947 in pursuit of #PanArabism #Arabism.

    >> …#Jews… left #Palestine a thousand years ago. They never ruled it…

    Not "left." Driven out.

    >> #Palestinians never put their land up for sale.

    It wasn't "their" land to begin with. They came from #Crete in #Greece.

    Palestinians have not "ruled" that land for 500+ years being under the #TurkishYoke since 1517.

    >> This is just another #Crusade but this time control over #oil is involved.

    The disputed land is SO RICH in OIL 🙄

    >> If #Israel had followed any form of legal process, not funded Hamas to undermine any peace process maybe things would have been different

    Skipping a lot of #history? My timeline is FULL of that. Look for #TurkishYoke, #ThievesBanquet, #DamascusProtocol, #Arabism, #ArabNationalism, #permanentStateOfWar, #inTheirName

    Before Israel funded Hamas, #Palestinians kicked offer for free state in 1947 & joined Arabs in war. If they hadn’t done that, Israel wouldn’t need to fund Hamas

    >> “At some point — whatever the justification — you’re either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you’re not.”

    There is no nuance in this statement.

    The world is not binary. It’s not black and white.

    The justification could be self-preservation — one’s own survival and the survival of one’s nation and entire race (including children of that race).

    The same dynamic repeated itself 20 years later.

    The weeks leading up to the 1967 war were, in the #Arab world, likewise a time of public displays of #ecstasy. The hour of “#revenge” was nigh, and the excitement was expressed in both mass public spectacles and elite opinion.

    The #Egyptian president Gamal Abdel #Nasser promised an elated crowd the week before the war broke out that “our basic objective will be to destroy #Israel.

    This pattern was set in motion by the first of the wars. The vote by the #UN General Assembly in 1947 to partition #BritishPalestine into two states, one #Jewish and one #Arab, set off an explosion of violence against local Jewish communities almost immediately in #Palestine itself.

    If there were doubts about the justice of the cause being fought for—preventing the establishment of a Jewish state—there is little record for that.

    >> What happened thousands of years ago is literally ancient history. It doesn't matter who owned what land back then. It doesn't matter today, except that it provides a mythology that leads to delusions of nationalism.

    Good luck getting #Hamas to shed the delusions of #ArabNationalism

    The present #MiddleEast quagmire is only about ~100 years old, not thousands.

    It is rooted in #Arabism that would not tolerate #Jews. But losers can't chose.

    I'm sorry to disappoint you, if you came here looking for #Islamophobia.

    My toot was about #comfortingLies & #unpleasantTruths involving

    1. Militant Terrorism — #AxisOfResistance

    2. Geopolitical Calculations — #Arabism

    3. History of #Palestine before #FirstAliyah — which predates #Zionism

    I DO try different angles to make things exciting. Which of the 3 angles did you find new, exciting, or racist, & why?

    Sorry to hear of your personal experience from 1940s. I have never faced such a situation myself, but I stand with #Israel because of the clarity I now have that I did not have during the #SecondIntifada.

    The more I look closely at #Hamas tactics, the more I am convinced that, #Netanyahu or no Netanyahu, there is no peace possible because the problem is singularly one of #Arabism They don’t want JUST independence.

    #Zionism is just an excuse to keep this #permanentStateOfWar alive
