    Saying Israel should get the land because it was stolen from their ancient ancestors is like China coming along and saying Native Americans have the right to claim most of North America and move us all into camps if they want because our ancestors stole it from theirs. It's stupid.

    At the same time, plenty of people have either been born in Israel or immigrated there with no malicious intent. Even if they're living on land taken from people still living, can you really kick them out? Maybe an argument could be made that those responsible for driving the former inhabitants out should provide compensation, but they will say they only took the land in self defense, or they were only following orders or something.

    It's a giant can of worms, and it only exists because of Western powers meddling where they shouldn't. Maybe the best course of action for us is to STOP meddling and let it take its natural course. Private citizens can go over there and spend their own money trying to defuse the situation if they want, but stop forcing us ALL to pay to sustain a situation with such an inherent lack of justice.

    Now see you see everything from a logical perspective,a solution that would make sense.But I coming from the Balkans can see it from the emotional perspective and in that perspective there is only either complete victory or complete defeat.

    There is no middle ground because no side will ever compromise after so much blood being spilled.We in the Balkans have been fighting for the same reasons as the ME for longer that the USA has been a country.Too much blood has been spilled to just let it go and compromise.Even if there is a compromise by this generation,the next ones will for certainly start a war for what they see as theirs )

    The problem with Israel and the Arabs is that the perceived goals that each side has can only be achieved by total annihilation of the other.For Palestine to win all the land possessed by Palestinians to be returned which can only be done if all Israelis leave,for Israel to win it would mean that all their neighbors are pacified and that means their annihilation .

    How do you see his speculation on what might happen as his solution to this problem?

    In your original question on a "solution" you asked people who love Hamas (or words to that effect), and I choose not to answer because you loaded the question. I do not love or support Hamas, their "strategy" is stupid and they do some heinous things like executing their own people for various "transgressions."

    I do, however, support the Palestinians in their fight to get their land back and for those who can not, that they be compensated. They should also be compensated for over 60 years of suffering, if one could put a price on the lives taken and others destroyed.

    You worded the question that way intentionally in a less than brilliant attempt to "trap" someone and fling the "anti-semite" canard around. It's pretty weak hasbara.

    Not that I know, but like the Germans they were very polite, for authoritiarians, when they "asked" them (jews) to board the trains / (muslims) to assemble themselves on restricted routes.

    http://history1900s.about.com/od/hol.../auschwitz.htm
    The people who were sent to the left, which was the majority of those who arrived at Auschwitz, were never told that they had been chosen for death. The entire mass murder system depended on keeping this secret from its victims. If the victims had known they were headed to their death, they would most definitely have fought back.

    But they didn't know, so the victims latched onto the hope that the Nazis wanted them to believe. Having been told that they were going to be sent to work, the masses of victims believed it when they were told they first needed to be disinfected and have showers.
    It wasn't until they got to the other side that they encountered the nightmare.

    I don't think the question was a trap but he will only see one part of the answers.See he does not call the part about killing 200-300 million as genocide,a blood bath but he answers on the part about the Israelis leaving as a horrendous solution

    There were even parks around the camps with trees where they would let them relax while group after group went to the showers.That was in the start of the war when the Reich seemed to be wining,later on it all turned into a blood orgy with competitions which guard can kill more.

    In any case what I hate most about the Holocaust is how one part of the story is always on the front page and the other is hardly spoken.

    As much Slavs,Gypsies and other minorities from Eastern Europe were slaughtered in the camps but there is hardly a word written for them ever.

    Exactly, how the state was created was certainly messed up in the first place, but it was british land.

    One thing that must be noted, since the creation of Israel the arabs tried to destroy it and run the jews out of there.

    Also Palestinian leaders aided Germany in the war for the sole purpose of getting rid of jews. It's hard to think one side will use reason when they want to wipe the other from the face of the earth.

    Well alot of people condemn Israel here completely ignoring the fact that if Hamas has been also attacking Israel non stop, so it is not a loaded question at all.
    THose condemning Israel expect to just stand by while Gaza continues sending rockets over?

    As for the Palestinians they can thank the neighboring countries that in 1948 told them, leave your lands, we will destroy Israel and you can return once the war is over... didn't quite work out that way. I wouldn't call it 60 years of suffering when Israel barely had weapons to defend itself in the first war they faced...

    So you're saying Israel is creating work camps where they will systematically kill palestinians? Now is this palestinians in the West Bank also or only in Gaza?

    More than a horrendouse solution it's completely unrealistic.


    Israel by far is the most civilized country int he region and you can at least see a semblance of individual rights. Compared to their neighbors they have quite a free economy and have a quasi-capitalist system. Just today it was reported that Tel Aviv is top 3 in the world when it comes to internet start ups http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/20/sta...-lead-the-way/

    Compared to it's neighbors ruled by anti-science, anti-individual rights, dictators.(the arab spring just replaced dictators with other religious zealots)

    Just answer this in regards to Israel and it's neighbors:
    1. Where are gay people more accepted, Israel or arab countries?
    2. Why are women treated so poorly in neighboring countries?
    3. Who is more accepting of other religions and atheist/agnostics?

    Heck you have a sizable arab and muslim population in Israel, something you don't see in Arab countries when it comes to Jews.

    Israel would have no embargo or have no problem with Palestinian controlled territories if it weren't for the risk of suicide bomber and rockets. Palestinian leaders what nothing more than the complete annihilation of Israel and that is what prevent any meaningful change to happen. I am not saying Israel has no fault in this but it's hard to side with a theological militant group hell bent on making another Iran like state. At least Israel is a secular state for the most part...

    You know, when I was in Amman with my husband and his family, I somehow missed all this, tsetsefly. Maybe if I could have actually gone into Israel I would have developed a different opinion? I couldn't. They wouldn't let my husband in. His parents left in '48, and they couldn't go back even to see the place. I had to go the mountaintop, Nebo, to see what could be seen from there. Kinda felt like Moses. Couldn't cross the Jordan. I really enjoyed my time in Jordan, though. I'm not really sure what horrible conditions you think I should have experienced there.

    There have been longer times of peace in Europe than the current 11 years old peace.Also the peace will last as long as the social programs last and as Europe is going more broke every year soon enough we will see the old ways coming back.

    Even today there are a dozen MAJOR separatist movements and almost every country has a region that wants to secede and most have 2 or more.
    Some countries are over ran with immigrants that are treated as second class citizens and are a land mine waiting to explode.

    Israelis can't enter arab countries, just to play in Dubai 3 Israeli tennis players where finally allowed to play after the ATP threatened to move the tournament out of there if they were discriminated.

    I can understand the Israeli blockade. THe fact is if the blockaed is lifted and Hamas is truly given free reign over Gaza what do you think is going to happen?

    They will open markets and form a with quasi-individual rights? no, more likely they will they install a theological Iran like regime, continue to terrorize their own citizens and build up a military to attack Israel.

    Or what is your solution to the problem? Have the US intervene and attack Israel or even better the UN?

    You made the comment that
    Israel by far is the most civilized country int he region...
    and so on. I guess I can't compare degrees of civility since I wasn't afforded that opportunity, but I most definitely did not find Jordan uncivilized. You say Israel is more civilized. I guess I'll have to take your word for that, but what I cannot accept is the insinuations that the Palestinian people are somehow inferior to the rest of humanity, that they cannot be mentioned without the mention of suicide bombers and rockets. I just didn't happen to see any of that. I saw a community built upon the family unit, and they were very strong, caring families. I do try not to be collectivist as much as possible. I saw a group of individuals, many, but nonetheless, I didn't meet each and every Palestinian who has ever lived. I'm sure there are some whose company I would not have enjoyed as much. But hey, I know some less than stellar folks here in the US of A, too. I would hope the world would not judge the entire nation based on the actions of a few. I try very hard to reciprocate.

    I have nothing whatsoever against Israelis, but I'm growing really tired of the seemingly endless claims that they are a people somehow superior to Palestinians.
    In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

    Jordan is far more progressive than it's neighbours ironically they where among the first if no the first to sign a peace agreement with ISrael, and has there been any conflict between them?
    As for Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, the PA and Hamas etc. they are far from tolerant nations.

    As for superiority, no one is making the claim that Israelis are superior to palestinians, I'm certainly not. I don't know how you're reading that from the whole situation/debate in general.

    THe debate is basically, do you think Israel has a right to exist? I believe they do, a Hamas controlled gaza believes the opposite. There can be no peace until they come to grips with the fact that Israel is here to stay. If they have a gripe with that, they should be bombing the brits and any nation that voted for Israel in the UN resolution...

    That is why I asked, what is the solution? I believe most people who are against Israel here think it does not have a right to exist and the solution is to:

    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos

    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

    Right to exist? Tell that to the generations of dead innocent men , women and children...Peace will happen when the US stops funding and blindly backing Israel. Strict non intervention.

    This video is being scrubbed from the internet. Watch it before it no longer exists.


    I watched a mirror of this earlier today which had close to 10,000 views. I was planning on posting it. Youtube removed it. Here is the link:

    No one is disputing that.

    I asked what do you think the solution is?
    and if you think Israel has the right to exist?
