Trump's embassy move to Jerusalem 'self-destructive'

Ashraf al-Qidra, the spokesman for Gaza's health ministry, said in a statement on Saturday that the Israeli army has been using snipers armed with explosive bullets

So in exchange for helping the British beat the Ottoman government, the Arabs were promised independence. And then they were screwed over. And today, those who are hopelessly immersed in their bias refuse to acknowledge this betrayal. They also refuse to accept the fact that the reason the Arabs were betrayed is because the Zionists offered to use their influence to bring the U.S. into the war in exchange for what the Arabs were promised.

And the reason they turn a blind eye to these facts is because to acknowledge them would interfere with their imagined right to see those who were betrayed as vermin who should die.

These are the facts.

And those who attempt to put lipstick on this ugliness expose themselves as deficient in character.

the Arabs had no business being in Israel to begin with.

Yes, they did have business there.

They have been living there for over a thousand years.

And as I have said, Israel's claim to Palestine is based on their belief in the legitimacy of a bribe which they instigated.

Your statement is incorrect.

No. It is true that Zionists bribed the British in order to acquire Palestine as a homeland. And their bribe consisted of their effort to influence the U.S. to enter the war.

As to the rest of your post, you are living in the distant past.

It has been suggested to you that, based on your reckoning, the Indians can reclaim their territory within the U.S.

The fact that that is true does not change the reality that your statement was incorrect regarding the basis of the Jewish claim. The Jewish claim to Palestine is based on the historical reality that they are indigenous to the West Bank area.

So? What's wrong with acknowledging history?

I have always said that I support having our courts enforce all the treaties that the US government made with the Native Americans.

It's been over 1000 years! Things have changed.

There is no harm in acknowledging history. But you are not just acknowledging history. You are choosing to recreate history and live there.

How is that not obsession?

So you're in favor of giving back the land that the indians were removed from?

The possession of stolen property for more than 1000 years does not invalidate the rights of the rightful owners.

Well, the Jews chose to restore their homeland.

But what is wrong with displaced people yearning to return to their homeland?

I submit that you are having trouble processing the knowledge that nothing was stolen from your favorite race of people.

The fact is that they were conquered over a thousand years ago.

History shows quite clearly that the Jews were forced from their homeland against their will.

Yeah, it's called being conquered.

Did Moses conquer the Midianites? Did he take anything from them?

That hardly legitimizes stealing their land.
