Krankhead:No wahala, a people get the leadership they deserve afterall. |
nerde:This has become painfully obvious. |
tctrills:You should credit the source of this article. Where did you cull it from? |
tctrills:If you read carefully, you will see that I am not wrong, but no matter: the division caused a war (naturally) and we have had eight decades of conflict as a consequence. Where does any of this justify the apartheid being practiced by the Jews? None of the previous rulers of that space practiced that on them. |
All these are distractions. The fundamental question remains if it is right for the Jews to perpetuate apartheid and genocide and enslavement in today's world. Thats the question. Especially against a population indigenous to the land for a thousand years. |
tctrills:Independence was the not the question. The existence of a state was the question. And that state had existed under various rulers and divisions and forms from the time of the Romans through to the time of the Crusades, through to the Ottomans, through to the British. |
tctrills:Inconsequential: this is whataboutism. It appears the point was lost on you when I said whataboutism does not affect legal matters. Let me break it down to your kindergarten level. If you are accused of stealing and taken to court, the fact that you say -"whatabout Deepsight who also stole" will not make you innocent. If there is evidence that you stole, you will be found guilty even if Deepsight uses his political connections to avoid being prosecuted. Your "whataboutist" query can only go to the fairness in the system, and never the legality of your own conviction. This also shows up how you fail to understand the distinction between law and morals and repeatedly conflate them. |
tctrills:There was already a state. It was called Palestine. Why did the Palestinians never fight for a state in Gaza and the West Bank between 1948 and 1967? Stop asking questions your side can't answer.The fight continues till this day. 2. The 30% agreed to land sharing but your 70% went to war to take everything. They lost and wars have consequences. Without the 1948 war, these would have been two peaceful neighboring nationsYou know very well it was an amalgam of the surrounding Arab countries that went to war. Yes, they lost and wars have consequences, but you act as though that was the end of the matter. Several conflicts and rapproachments have happened since in the period from then till now, several agreements and disruptive events: at all events the international community agrees that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal and even Israel's uncle, the USA agrees. |
tctrills:Not my point. Your confusion. |
DeepSight:Let me add that even that 30 per cent represented returnees gradually over the preceding centuring. Moslems had been the vast majority there for several vcenturies already. As of circa 1700 the Jewish per cent would have been single digit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Palestine_%28region%29 |
tctrills:1. Why did 30 per cent not establish a state, why did it take the returnees from Europe to do so? 2. How do 30 per cent establish ownership over 70 per cent? |
tctrills:A negligible remnant is not decisive in these matters, be serious. Or I know you will be so extreme as to claim that even if there were two Jews left there, then it was the presence of a nation. Be serious for once. They left as a nation and thats why the people who came back to establish the state of Israel came from Europe, and were not the remnant there. |
tctrills:I didnt say this. Generally, they apply to signatories. But jurisprudentially, laws on crimes against humanity apply to everyone, signatories or not. My point was regarding your reference: the U.N is not in the same unique position regarding the borders of China or Turkey as it did not establish those borders. Please stop reading X and seeing Y. |
tctrills:They never left. |
tctrills:Israel's matter with the U.N is actually unique because neither Turkey nor China was founded by the U.N. And before you start repeating the same tired line as to whether that means Israel must be a slave to the U.N, no, it means the U.N is simply in an eminently suitable position to discuss the matter of its borders and give historical pointers thereto. I mentioned the ICJ, is Israel not bound by that, despite being a party? |
tctrills:By dint of remaining in Europe for 2000 years, not for any other reason. Returning two millenia after to claim exclusivity is a problem. And mind you, I didnt say I have a problem with returning. So long as it is done with consideration of those who have then become indigenous in the intervening time, without practicing apartheid on them and oppresing them. |
tctrills:You havent even properly read what you are responing to here. I will help you by emboldening one word therein. Go back to it. |
tctrills:This is "whataboutism" and it never speaks to questions of legality. That teh UN has been inactive in other crimes against humanity does not answer the fundamental legal questions at play with Israel's international crimes, its apartheid and its crimes against humanity. It also does nothing to address the indigeneity of Arabs in Palestine which is the fundamental question of this thread. |
tctrills:I never commented on the morality of displacement of populations prior to the present international order. I commented on the legality as accepted. Let this sink in. |
tctrills:If this is what you got from my explanation you are truly hopeless. Suffce to say this is not what I was communicating to you. |
tctrills:I have told you what international law is, I have neither asserted that conflicts do not happen, nor that genocides and illegal occupations do not happen, or that international crimes and crimes against humanity are not committed. For heavens sake we had South African Apartheid until the 1990s. You really suffer from a serious problem with common sense and basic understanding such that it is strenous trying to communicate basics to you. This is why I joke with you so much, because serious discussions with you are almost impossible and are always very painful on account that you are near retarded. Your assumption that one has ever claimed the UN to be some school prefect or global policeman with any powers of enforcement of its own is so misfooted one does not know where to start. And that arose and stuck in your mind simply because I informed you that on the subject of its borders, the UN is instrumental to Israel on account of the role it played in its establishment. You keep shouting that Israel is not bound by this, and not bound by that. Yes it is not bound by the ICC as it is not a party to that treaty, but it is certainly bound by the ICJ as it is a party to that. And yet it ignores the rulings of that. It has always ignored all rulings and violated all international law with impunity. And that is simply because it is assured of US backing. The day that goes, perhaps they will behave. So you are saying that any land taking before the UN came on board should not be given back right?And if this is all you derived from my explanation, then you are truly hopeless. |
tctrills:I have since stopped being befuddled by your sheer irrationality. It used to really shock me but not any more. Now listen up. After the second world war, an international order was established. It was the first time you had the concept of international law actually existing. That international order had the United Nations as its centre and citadel. That organization created the legal framwork for the establishment of Israel through the British Mandate for Palestine. Prior to this time, and throughout history, might was right. Anyone who could conquer another did so, and "rightfully" seized his land/ colonized him/ enslaved him and expropriated his resources. That was the law of the jungle under which mankind lived. It took the horrors of the world wars for humanity to say no to this, and set up the international community and the international legal order. From that time, it became, by consensus, legally unnaceptable for one state to seize the land of another state by force. This became an international crime. This is why the Russian attack on Ukraine is legally unnacptable. This is why Saddam Hussein's attack on Kuwait was also unnaceptable. Other instances can be cited, but even you should catch the drift. That which formerlly obtained as the law of the jungle had been displaced. And legally so, for law is made by people and groups of people in concurrence. As such, the wars which involved Israel and the Arabs, despite being fought, did not truncate that new international order. Nor did those wars banish the Arab population of Palestine - indeed not even Israel claimed so, so please school yourself properly. Israel claimed land, yes, and in some areas it returned lands it had claimed - for example, to Egypt. In no case was a banishment of the Arab population the result, so what are you saying? That simply never happened. Therefore your qustion falls flat on its face. It also is a non starter in light of what I have explained to you in terms of the law of the jungle (which operated at both at the sack of Jerusalem in 70 A.D and the time of the crusades which involved Saladdin - who, by the way, did not kick Jews out of Jerusalem) being replaced by the international order of the latter 20th century. This answers your question in exact terms, and I neednt have had to explain it but for your painful ignorance and irrationality. I also have no doubt that the explanation will still be lost on you on account of your irredeemable fanaticism. So I only render it here for posterity and the the causal reader of my posts - and certainly not for you, for I know that would be a waste of time and energey. |
tctrills:You cant seem to read. The key question in the OP was this - DeepSight: |
tctrills:Obviously you dont know the difference between a state with uncontested borders and a state in a state of war, over internationally created borders. Furthermore you dont understand the difference between the roles of the UN as a multilateral global body and that of a singular colonial authority. I have long since known you are dense, I will not worry myself. You are unteachable, which is the worst thing a teenage discussant such as yoruself can be. Please make sure you take the meds and report to the psych ward by six a.m. Otherwise we may have to deploy force to evacuate you from the streets. |
tctrills:I said have you taken the meds? ? ? ? Answer me! A group of military nurses has been dispatched to contain you. Cooperate. |
tctrills:Have you taken the meds? The shrink is really disturbed by your condition. |
Ananias and Sapphira Acts 5 vs 1- 11 5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” 5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” 9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” 10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events |
Meteng:This reminds me of the treatment provided by Peter the Apostle to Ananias and Sapphira - 9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? "Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” |
tctrills:I have addressed this question in detail in posts you said you were not minded to read. And my position has been simple, being away for 2000 years it is absurd for them to return and claim exclusivity over a land others have occupied for 1000 years. However in light of the wars which have transpired since 1948, both sets of people ought to reach reasonable compromises which recognize one another's human and national rights devoid of the apartheid, segregation and colonialism which currently obtains. PS: I hope you have taken your medication this morning and afternoon. We are very concerned because the psychiatrist has been looking for you. |
GUNITGuy:Five? In your thirties? This is alarming. Apostle, Imam, Village Head and Mafia Boss must all hear this. We need to launch a recus mission to save your sexual life. We will hire an entire strip club if necessary. |
ValCon888:Men and women knack, period. |
Saladdin:May you be blessed for this post. |
