>For 20 years, we didn't hear a word about 'self-determination'. In fact what we did hear, those of us living in the Middle East, was about "driving the Jews into the sea". Now after their defeat in 1967, the hardline strategy of the PLO switched to adopting into a 'moderate', dressed-up slogan, about first a secular democratic state, and then self-determination.
>No, I don't agree that they have a right to a state... The Palestinians themselves, in the Palestinian National Covenant, in the very first article, say they are quote "part of the Arab nation." Well, let's look at the Arab Nation. It has 21 states, an area roughly as large as the U.S., and one sixth of entire the world's wealth. Now add to that, there already exists a Palestinian state, and that is Jordan, sixty percent of whom's population already is Palestinian. I think it's quite interesting that Yusuf Arafat and King Hussein, who are bitter enemies, agree on one thing: that Jordan is a Palestinian state. So what we're talking about here, is a demand for a twenty-second Arab state, and a second Palestinian state.
>I think that the Palestinians in the West Bank are going to be offered the full civil rights, and full human rights, that they're not offered anywhere else in the Middle East. Nowhere in the Middle East do they have the right to vote for their own government- those Arabs who live in Israel, in the pre-67 boundaries, are the only ones who are offered that right, and I'm all in favor of them, and in favor of all the Arabs living in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip being offered the same rights. I'm 28 years old and I've defended my country in two wars and many battles. No one wants peace more than me.

He's right you know. Aside from those who fell for Commie propaganda why do Ar*b sympathizers exist?
WTF I love Netanyahu now
In theory I support an Israeli 1 state solution but in practice they exert so much influence over US foreign policy that I'm forced to be Anti-Israel.
>why do Ar*b sympathizers exist?
I call it "star wars" syndrome
the belief that anyone fighting a governing body as a "rebel" is autmatically a benevolent soul: it's just good old fashioned acting-on-not-thinking, because most of those arab sympathizers have never actually met and arab, they just don't like the big bad government
all that being said, israel DOES deploy some pretty egregious methods to deal with said rebellion, but the idea that palestinians are "moderate" is a fucking joke
Only rural and suburban retards oppose Israel.
Fuck OFF, death to all imperialists and killers of children
Israel will go the way of the British Empire and Nazi Germany
This. Same thing happened with the North Vietnamese for example. Tons of publicity about US war crimes, very little publicity when the Commies started genociding people after the war and imprisoning or driving out a tenth of the country's population.
What is Israel going to do if Netanyahu is convicted of corruption?
>Americans care more about American crimes than about foreign crimes
Gee, what kind of civilized, self-conscious people would so such a thing?
>give votes to Arabs
>remain Jewish controlled
Pick one.
I've studied the israeli palestinian conflict from every perspective imaginable, and my conclusion is that neither side is worthy of our support.
