Let me run down this one for you one more time Wow.
There is only a war in your crazy mind. The IDF has the Palestine s all but shackled in a cell. They are subject to apartheid conditions. The only torment is in your head.
East Jerusalem refers to the parts of Jerusalem captured by Jordan in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and then taken by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. It includes Jerusalem's Old City and some of the holiest sites of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, such as the Temple Mount, Western Wall, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The term "East Jerusalem" may refer to either the area under Jordanian rule between 1949 and 1967 which was incorporated into the municipality of Jerusalem after 1967, covering some 70 km2 (27 sq mi), or the territory of the pre-1967 Jordanian municipality, covering 6.4 km2 (2.5 sq mi). East Jerusalem is the proclaimed capital of the Palestinian National Authority although Ramallah serves as the administrative capital.Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Jerusalem was divided into two parts—the western portion, populated primarily by Jews, came under Israeli rule, while the eastern portion, populated mainly by Arabs, came under Jordanian rule. Arabs living in such western Jerusalem neighbourhoods as Katamon or Malha were forced to leave; the same fate befell Jews in the eastern areas, including the Old City and Silwan. The only eastern area of the city that remained in Israeli hands throughout the 19 years of Jordanian rule was Mt. Scopus, where the Hebrew University is located, which formed an enclave during that period and therefore is not considered part of East Jerusalem.Following the 1967 Six-Day War, the eastern part of Jerusalem came under Israeli rule and was annexed to Jerusalem, together with several neighbouring West Bank villages. In November 1967, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 242 was passed, calling for Israel to withdraw "from territories occupied in the recent conflict". In 1980, the Knesset passed the Jerusalem Law, which declared that "Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel", however, without specifying boundaries. This declaration was declared "null and void" by United Nations Security Council Resolution 478.
What part of Null and Void don't you understand Toe.
The Jerusalem Law (Hebrew: ??? ????: ??????? ???? ??????, Arabic: ????? ??????) is a common name of Basic Law: Jerusalem, Capital of Israel passed by the Knesset on July 30, 1980 (17th Av, 5740).
It began as a private member's bill proposed by Geula Cohen, whose original text stated that "the integrity and unity of greater Jerusalem (Yerushalayim rabati) in its boundaries after the Six-Day War shall not be violated." However, this clause was dropped after the first reading in the Knesset. As the Knesset thus declined to specify boundaries and did not use the words "annexation" or "sovereignty", Ian Lustick writes that "The consensus of legal scholars is that this action added nothing to the legal or administrative circumstance of the city, although, especially at the time, its passage was considered to have political importance and sparked a vigorous protest reaction from the world community." For example, UN Security Council Resolution 478, adopted by 14 votes to none, with 1 abstention (United States of America), declared soon after that the law was "null and void" and "must be rescinded". This resolution called upon member states to withdraw their diplomatic missions from the city.
Wow, What We Will really risk here is being accused of personal attacks. I have no hatred. Just compassion for what I see as gross injustice.
Its not you Wow. Nor ttom, perhaps Conrad and Toe, but essentially this is very much a platonic debate. What is or isn't accomplished here will never have any bearing on any final solution to this mess. It's all about lip-service. And propaganda. You say there's nothing wrong with killing 1400 people, I thing you've lost your freaking mind. That simple.
1,400 killed on one side. 18 on the other. One side has every single state of the art weapon. The other side simple side arms.
I will never, ever, ever adopt your megalomania. You are sick. In your head you can't see the gross, disproportionate maniacal murder your people are committing. You see nothing wrong with , first you steal another mans land andbegin building your own homes on that land and secondly corralling these same people in camps where they are forced to live without common human needs and you FAIL to see this as collective punishment. And third, when these same people mount a resistance to this injustice you mount a massacre to stifle them down, killing ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN using weapons seen as illegal by the international community thus committing war crimes. And after all this you say their army is a moral army. When your one and only ally Turkey publishes articles condemning your methods and practices yet you have the arrogance to call other people "dumb"?
Thats why in Cast Lead there were 1400 Palestinian fatalities and 11 Israeli. Of the Israeli killed 3 were from "friendly fire".
And the 1,400 slaughtered in Cast Lead was in retaliation for rocketry fire to disperse the land thieves. Ineffectual for the most part ( 18 killed in a 10 year span by rocket fire) the IDF slaughtered 450 non-combatants and 350 children in just 10 days of horror. So Wow you must not have read the same casualty figures that the REST OF THE WORLD DID.
High Morals Jenin, where they wouldn't allow journalist to record and document the carnage! Cast Lead where they slaughtered 350 children. Not human shields Wow, kids huddled in basements and closets. Terrorized. BS
BS my Dear. Pure and utter BS. There is documented case after case after case of IDF barbarity. Hundreds you fool. Lay off the poor Israel BS and open your eyes fool.
