Can you look at this map and say Israel does not systemically appropriate land?

Do you really believe one Jew's life is more important than the thousands of Palestinians killed by Jews? Really?

@cicerone imposter,

They were not Palestinian lands. There is no country called Palestine. Jews have lived in the area for centuries and have the right to build settlements there.

There was no country called Israel until 1947. Palestinians lived in the area that is now called Israel for centuries and were illegally evicted. They have the right to return to their previous lands and build settlements there.

Let's be honest.

Palestine refugees are defined as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.”

UN agencies have been notoriously anti-Semitic.

UN rights office voices concern over forced evictions of Palestinians in West Bank

27 August 2013 – The United Nations human rights office today expressed concern over the forced eviction of Palestinians in the West Bank as a result of recent demolitions carried out by Israeli authorities, and noted this could amount to a violation of international law.

The demolitions began on 19 August and have been carried out by Israeli authorities in at least six different locations, including East Jerusalem, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said.

In one incident, Israeli authorities demolished all of the structures in the Bedouin community of Tel al Adassa in East Jerusalem, rendering some 39 people homeless, citing a lack of building permits.

“The Israeli authorities ordered the community to evacuate the area permanently or risk high monetary fines and confiscation of livestock,” OHCHR spokesperson Cécile Pouilly told reporters in Geneva.

“No alternative locations or housing options were offered. Left with no choice, the community has split and moved to two different temporary locations, where they remain vulnerable to further demolitions and repeated displacement due to lack of legal security of tenure and inability to obtain building permits.”

Ms. Pouilly said the permanent removal of the families from Tel al Adassa may amount to a violation of the prohibition to forcibly transfer individuals or communities under article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The case also raises concerns regarding the prohibition of forced eviction under international human rights law, and the right to adequate housing and freedom from arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy, family and home.

OHCHR also expressed concern over reports of excessive use of force by Israeli security forces against Palestinian civilians in refugee camps in the West Bank. Since 18 August, at least four Palestinian civilians have been killed during search and arrest operations and at least 19 have been injured.

“While we do not yet have sufficient information to make an assessment of each of these specific cases, we have raised our concerns several times before, including in our reports, regarding the excessive use of force by Israeli security forces in law enforcement operations in the West Bank,” Ms. Pouilly said.

She added that the Israeli Government has the obligation to investigate all cases in an independent and impartial manner and hold accountable all those responsible for violations. OHCHR also urged Israeli authorities to publish its findings on the matter.

The interesting thing is that Israel immedicately accepted, and lived by, the UN partition

It did that despite hundreds of attacks by the Pals, and the Pal seizure of part of the "internationalized" Jerusalem. The Pals desecrated Jewish holy places in this would-be internationalized area. The last straw for Israel were the Pal and other Arab forces attacks during the '67 war. As you know, Israel then took the rest of Jerusalem.

Your statement is pure B-S! Yitzhak Shamir joined the Irgun Zvai Leumi, a Zionist paramilitary group that opposed British control of Palestine.When the Irgun split in 1940, Shamir joined the more militant faction Lehi, also known as the Stern Gang, headed by Avraham Stern. The Stern Gang hit the ground running, attacking Palestinians, chasing them out of their homes....many who're still alive still hold the keys to the homes the European Jews stole...and this began in 1948!

Lehi split from the Irgun militant group in 1940 in order to continue fighting the British during World War II. Lehi initially sought alliance with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, offering to fight alongside them against the British in return for the transfer of all Jews from Nazi-occupied Europe to Palestine. On the belief that Nazi Germany was a lesser enemy of the Jews than Britain, Lehi twice attempted to form an alliance with the Nazis.[

When the South African prime minister John Vorster made a state visit to Israel in April 1976, it began with a tour of Yad Vashem, Israel's major Holocaust memorial, where the late Yitzhak Rabin invited the onetime Nazi collaborator, unabashed racist and white supremacist to pay homage to Jews murdered in the Holocaust.

Compared, say, to routine outcries from organized Jewry over often even mild whiffs of Holocaust controversy, no less remarkable was the bland equanimity both Israeli and diaspora Jews also displayed toward the Vorster visit.

Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi recalls [The Israeli Connection, Random House: Toronto, 1987, p.x]:
"For most Israelis, the Vorster visit was just another state visit by a foreign leader. It did not draw much attention. Most Israelis did not even remember his name, and did not see anything unusual, much less surreal in the scene [an old Nazi diehard invited to 'mourn' the victims at a Holocaust memorial]: Vorster was just another visiting dignitary being treated to the usual routine."
The old Nazi collaborator was graciously welcomed by his hosts. The South African leader left Israel four days later -- after signing a number of friendship treaties between the Jewish state and South Africa's racist, apartheid regime. A denouement Leslie and Andrew Cockburn describe in Dangerous Liaison [Stoddart Publishing: Toronto, 1991, pp. 299 - 300]:
"The old Nazi sympathizer came away with bilateral agreements for commercial, military, and nuclear cooperation that would become the basis for future relations between the two countries."
Leaving unmentioned Vorster's wartime internment for supporting Germany, Israel's prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, hailed the South African premier as a force for freedom and made no mention of Vorster's past as he toured the Jerusalem memorial to the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis. At a state banquet, Rabin toasted "the ideals shared by Israel and South Africa: the hopes for justice and peaceful coexistence". Both countries, he said, faced "foreign-inspired instability and recklessness".

You mean like Jewish nazis?

Today, Israel is edging itself toward isolation by the European nations. Bibi Netanyahu did not attend Mandela's Memorial today among all the world's most distinguished Heads. He knows in Europe they are looking with scorn upon his underhanded administration.

In America, one doesn't read too much criticism regarding Israel in the media, but have no doubt, hostile feelings against the Jewish nation and its political power led by AIPAC is grinding on many people's nerves and Israel has its enemies.

The Boycott and Divestment Movement against Israel which involves various faith-based and campus-based divestment initiatives is very much alive and well, primed to go just like it was for Apartheid SA; it's just that our hands are still tied as the US government will not allow it.....but there will come a day!

Netanyahu is having conniptions because he wants the US to bomb Iran;

Israel keeps sending signals it will attack the Persian nation's nuclear facility but with over 77 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 17th-most-populous nation and if it responded to Israel's attack, the Zionist nation would need the US support.

American military are tired of dying for Israel;

the war in Iraq was done primarily for Israel with the oil as a bonus to Dick Cheney, payment for going in and getting rid of Saddam Hussein.

Zionist nazis might be better.
We learned the meaning of Untermenschen and Lebensraum from nazi propaganda in the 1930s, and here it is again: history repeating itself in the must unthinkable way.

The only Israeli PM I can remember who was authentically decent was the late Yitzhak Rabin

The Holocaust, in many ways, has been a successful industry for modern Israel.

UN agencies have been notoriously anti-Semitic.

Stop with the hackneyed phrase, "anti-Semitic," for once, Advocate.

Don't you ever tire of the same ole threadbare saying, Advocate?

Everyone is an anti-Semite who criticizes Israel.

Since you do not appear discerning enough to distinguish between constructive criticism and hateful comments,

perhaps you should stop using the word as overuse can sometime lose its impact making you look dull and uninformed.
