Israel violates truce with attack on The Gaza

Ok, when Europeans who gained thier "State" via terrorism and genocide, (i.e., The Stern Gang (Lehi) and Irgun bombing the Star of David Hotel and the illegal displacement of more than one million Indigenous Palestinians / not including ethnocide against the Aboriginal population) adhere to the United Nations 1948 Partition Plan that resides at the crux of this issue, perhaps, perhaps the violence will truly stop. 

The excuse of Israel's oft-repeated "Right to Exist" is not a valid reason for Israel's stated aim of eliminating any vestiges of Palestinian political statehood and psychological cultural integrity.  Aside form Hamas and Hezbollah, the Palestinian people have given more than enough of thier country, thier lives and thier dignity in the name of justice for European Jewry injured by European hands, not Arab.   

We can go back to the MacDonald White Paper of 1939 or even the Partition Plan by the UN General Assembly of 1947 to clearly show that the responsibility for everything that has happened in that area resides squarely in Israel's lap. 

Palestinians are fighting to survive, Israeli's primarily from Brooklyn, NY are fighting to dominate an already beaten people.  And while violence is reprehensible no matter who does it, many Palestinains have reasoned, not without justification, that they would rather be killers than victims. 

They are facing a theologically based political state that claims territory they have not held since 70 C.E.  Under what international law is Israel entitled to regain said territory?  By this standard, Aboriginals in North America have every moral , if not legal, right to repatriate all unceded territories as defined by treaty which under United States constitutional law still stand as legal agreements between sovereign entities.   Of course this would "displace" millions of non-Aboriginal  American citizens but hey, no one in the United States would accept such a development as "just."  But this is precisely what Palestinians are asked, no demanded to accept, as the only legitimate course of action they can undertake while they endure indignity after indignity. 

Have you ever waited six hours at a checkpoint while 18 year old conscripts stick guns and youthful indifference in your face?  How about being beaten and detained by Israeli Defense Forces because you, like thousands of other people, fit the description of a suspected suicide bomber?  People in Palestine watch their children die from preventable diseases through contaminated water and random bombings and bullets splitting the air on a daily basis.  There are more than two sides to this issue.  But Israel does not in any legal or ethical way embody the spirit of the democratic facade they vocifereously assert to the world while they assasinate liberation leaders and those unlucky enough to be in the vicinity when IDF hit squads go after thier marks.

This is absurd on a variety of levels.  But absurdity is the modus operandi of Israeli/United States policy in Western Asia.  Stop killing Arab people in the name of the European Holocaust and perhaps Arabs will not feel the need to protect themselves through armed resistance against an openly fascist state existing within their midst.

What
you have just posted is offensive on a variety of levels.  I find it personally offensive as an
Indigenous person living under United States occupation in North America.  Your callous comments offer no historical
analysis, no legal objectivity and clearly no fundamental knowledge or
comprehension of the issue at hand.

Like
many other neo-conservatives, you speak of Israeli “victims” without once
mentioning Israeli atrocities towards Palestine’s Indigenous
population.  The oft-repeated “Arabs must
recognise Israel’s right to exist,” is a play on semantics that has no basis
other than emotional pleas for the Palestinians to step aside quietly in
deference to European Jewry’s decision to occupy Palestine by force.  As I mentioned in my last post, data you
apparently chose to overlook, Palestinians were not involved in the “Final
Solution” nor did they enter Europe to usurp Jewish land,
people or material.  Yet, it is demanded
of them that they pay the penalty for what European fascism tried to do on the
subcontinent. 

How
is this fair?  By demanding that the Palestinian
people must without question or delay acknowledge the current configuration of
the territorial State of Israel while simultaneously denying for themselves the
same right of socio-political acknowledgement is not only legally inequitable, but
morally reprehensible.  Only someone
willingly ignorant, and blissfully so, of the historical facts could hold such
a situation aloft as “fair.”  This is of
course the upside perspective with ample allowances for a generally enlightened,
albeit presumed, objector to Palestinian autonomy.  However, most critics fall into another
category altogether, the unabashed yet deceitfully xenophobic bigotry many
Arabs, Palestinians in particular, face on a daily basis in Palestine and elsewhere. 

Only someone ignorant of the 1948 Partition Plan
could accept this situation as “violence” perpetuated on “innocent”
Israelis.  Only someone ignorant of the Cairo-Haifa
train bombings 1948 or the Jaffa Gate attack in Jerusalem or the infamous Deir
Yassin killings which instigated the aggressive Arab de-population of Palestine
and which directly lead to the Arab-Israeli War a mere three weeks later could possibly view Palestinians as aggressors.   Palestinians were not the aggressors, or so
said the United Nations who was still in the throes of trying to figure out a
way to pacify the Jewish refugees without coming across as anti-Semitic,
(another term that sufferers wide misuse when used in relation to this
issue). 

Don’t take my word for it, read the original United
Nations report here, dated 28 September 1948 by Ralph Bunche to then Secretary-General Trygve Halvdan Lie.  Lie was a strong supporter of an independent
Jewish State in accordance with decidedly historically inaccurate theological
tradition.   But even he could not ignore
the terrorist violence perpetuated by militant Zionist organizations.

But in the United States and Israel, discourse surrounding this issue is fraught with
emotional platitudes to the “right” of Israelis to live free of violence and
socio-political oppression.  Do not the
Palestinians have a similar “right” to peace and security?  Do not the Palestinians have a “right” to
political determination in their own historical territories?  Territories, I might add that have been
repeatedly invaded by European entities determined to maintain positive control
over the strategic and material resources of the region. 

Palestinians are trapped in a 21st century
Europocentric nation that claims historical jurisdiction over claimed lands not
occupied in large numbers by Jews since the sacking of Jerusalem by the Romans
at the end of the second Jewish-Roman War in 70 C.E.  No other Indigenous peoples aside from
American, Canadian and Australian Aboriginals have had so much taken from them
in their own lands and are then beseeched to accept, no, rejoice in their
genocidal obliteration by oppressive theologically based ethnocentric forces as
a morally superior outlook. 

In short, your “viewpoint” is little more than establishment
neo-conservative talking points that purposefully obscure the real issues
behind Palestine, Israel and United States moral, financial and material
support for Palestinian genocide in favour of an Europeanised Middle East,
(another misnomer since Palestine clearly resides in Western Asia) that will
not, or cannot, repel foreign corporate interest and investment. 

I can respect differences of opinion.  I cannot by any stretch of the imagination
respect someone else’s apathetic disdain for reasoned analysis when human lives
are at stake.  If you can present a
logical argument for why Palestinians should put their dignity as well as their
very lives on the back burner in deference to Israeli and American demands for their
perpetual refugee status, present it.  I’ll
read it.   If you are going to offer more
selective history, xenophobically anti-Arab and blatantly anti-Muslim
commentary, find another repository for your futility.
