The founding documents of Likud and Hamas both claim exclusive rights from the river to the sea (both parties have since moderated their language, but the intent is clear). Zionism also has a worrying history of aspiring to "Greater Israel". By some accounts, that stretches from the Euphrates to the Nile.

It seemed to me that we were discussing from different perspectives. Some of us were learning. Others, evidently not.For the record, I don't believe that there's a viable a two-state solution. It's pretty clear that the Zionists are intent on being the master race in the region. While Israel exists, the chances of peace are slim to none.

@RaymondPierreL3 "Palestine was created by the British"
The concept of Palestine has existed for more than a millennium. If it was "created", then that could be said to have been done by the Emperor Constantine in the fourth century CE (though he was building on history)."...carved out by the jewish tribes through conquests as the Egyptian 'let them go'..."
There's no evidence of substantial numbers of Hebrew slaves in Egypt. Ever. No Passover. No Exodus (at least, not on the scale of the mythology). Probably no Moses.@smitjo
"my recollection is that Israel has never accepted the proposed borders"
One of the conditions imposed by the UN was that Israel would declare it borders. That has never happened. (They probably intend to take total control from the river to the sea, then move on to "Greater Israel".) If we're going to obsess over borders, then Israel doesn't formally exist.

There is no universally-agreed definition of "state" in this context. One of the few points on which all seem to agree is recognition.
🤔
A state is a state because it's recognised as such by other states. Recursive, but there you have it.

There are indeed non-Zionist Israelis @RaymondPierreL3
There are even anti-Zionist Israelis. But the State of Israel is Zionist. The society of Israel is Zionist.The Zionist invasion of Palestine began in the 19th century. Some of the documentation from the 1919 Paris conference is quite revealing. It seems they were pretty obnoxious from the beginning.
This is a long read, but worth persevering:

"what territorial boundaries" @RaymondPierreL3
I wondered about that. It turns out to be irrelevant. A "state" is an organised political community. Territory is usual, but not necessary under all definitions.Recognising a state formalises its existence. We can haggle over territory later.

Australian Senator quits Labor after voting for Palestinian state
Senator Fatima Payman has resigned from the Australian Labor Party days after she split from other Labor representatives to vote in support of recognising a Palestinian state.
“My family did not flee from a war-torn country to come here as refugees for me to remain silent when I see atrocities inflicted on innocent people,” she told reporters on Thursday.

"recognising a Palestinian state which does not exists" (sic) @RaymondPierreL3
"As of June 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 145 of the 193 member states of the United Nations."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_the_State_of_Palestine
You must be missing something.And your 'whatboutism' serves only to emphasise the point.
To me, the question is whether the Zionist state should exist. It's been nothing but trouble.

Fatima Payman quits Labor 'with a heavy heart but a clear conscience'
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-04/fatima-payman-quits-labor-after-palestinian-vote-furore/104056278"My conscience leaves me no choice," said Senator Fatima Payman.
There's a bunch the ALP could learn from this debacle:
- The ALP should allow more "conscience votes" rather than enforcing the rule that you have to vote along party lines on every Senate vote.
- Senator Payman was right to take a stand for the sake of recognising of Palestinian statehood.
- Senator Payman will now sit on the crossbench, meaning the government is down one Senator, and they might need to learn to negotiate with Senator Payman if they want to pass legislation.
- The ALP's heavy-handed use of rules has pushed-out a rising star.
- Rather than celebrating diversity, the ALP has created division. The ALP has hurt itself in a particularly messy fashion that harms their reputation.
- Albo's ultimatum was childish, and I hope this haunts him.#AusPol #Palestine #FatimaPayman #SenatorPayman #Albo #AnthonyAlbanese

My 7 pence worth: The ABC is no longer an unbiased source of news (tho’ relative to others sources, better than none) - but it seems they are now working for the ALP dirt unit.Headline says *caucus* colleagues express concern over reference to god. This pretty much tells us where the beat up is coming from, and what motivates it. If this were actually a referendum on religious belief, we should poll members of labor caucus. If God is suddenly an emotional issue in aus politics is it only because Sen Payman is Muslim? How many alp folk would openly declare their beliefs? Why do we still say the lord’s prayer (insincerely for the most part) in parlt? Why was there little said when tony abbott subsidised some catholic seminary course in WA (don’t ask me for the source, i’m not a journalist)
as an atheist, i’m wary of religious dictatorship, but i don’t have a problem with faith per se. muslims don’t scare me any more than christians tbh, and in australia, even less. i’ve taken some real crap from christians over the years - not only nuns - and christianity has not stopped this country from being legally and culturally classist, sexist, racist and 100 types of phobic.
If someone says something is in god’s hands the meaning could range from purely metaphorical to an expression of religious determinism. generally, my first instinct is to think of other people’s mention of god as an indication of conscience. wrt palestine, sen payman’s conscience is ok. when she let’s us know that pauline hanson is actually right to be afraid, she will be outvoted.
this story is f* low. just low key dog whistling.

@TruthSandwich is a well-known troll. Anybody reading this would be wise to block that account.
At the end of that article is this line about the author:
"Sarah Schwartz is a lawyer, lecturer and executive officer of the Jewish Council of Australia."Jewish communities increasingly recognise that the Zionist state endangers them. The world in general, and Jews in particular, will be safer when Israel no longer exists.
A reading of their founding documents reveals little difference between Hamas and Likud. I support neither.
Most of the death, destruction and terror has been inflicted by Israel. Why would anybody support that?
