My turn for genocide

Ah okay, edited to include new information

3. political acceptance by a certain authority.
 
I think that's great that you are volunteering to host the next genocide sam, certainly there are few who could gainsay your appropriately provocative qualities.
 
Are Jews wilfully outbreeding Palestinians, with the intention to crowd them out of the immediate area? Is this genocide or just the same kind of demographic forces that proponents of the Palestinian side always brag about?
 
....one cannot do anything about the settler enterprise of Israel because it is a "fact" that cannot be undone. .......


perhaps an illustration of the settler enterprise.....

In the 42 years since Israel captured the land, its control has grown apace. There are 149 settlements, together with at least another 100 "outposts" — smaller settlements unauthorised even by the Israeli government. Nearly 500,000 Jewish settlers now live in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. In order to protect the settlements and, as Israel argues, to impose law and order, came a series of what the UN calls "multi-layered restrictions": checkpoints, trenches, earth mounds, road gates, roadblocks and a large restricted road network which Palestinians cannot use. Put together they seriously inhibit ordinary life for millions of Palestinians.

Then there is the West Bank barrier, begun at the height of the violence of the second intifada and today nearly 60% complete. When finished it will be 450 miles long, running inside the West Bank for 86% of its length.

It effectively attaches many of the major settlements to Israel and in doing so places nearly 10% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem on the "Israeli" side. When finished it will leave 35,000 Palestinians living in "closed areas" cut off from the rest of the West Bank and caught between the 1949 armistice line and the barrier.

Added to that are the large nature reserves and military closed areas, which Palestinians cannot enter and which are mainly in the Jordan Valley or near the Dead Sea. There are also 48 Israeli military bases. Beyond that, Israel has full control over Area C, which makes up nearly two-thirds of the West Bank. Planning restrictions are tight: 94% of building permit applications have been refused between 2000 and 2007, according to the UN. Today there are around 3,000 pending demolition orders across the West Bank.

Instead, the Palestinians are confined to their fragmented urban areas, often behind checkpoints and where talk of a future contiguous, viable Palestinian state seems ever more remote. The effect of this political geography is so striking that even George Bush, who was perhaps the US president most supportive of Israel, was moved early last year to say of a future Palestine: "Swiss cheese isn't going to work when it comes to the outline of a state."


and thats just the west bank

The first colonization wave hit the Jordan Valley in 1968 when Israel built three settlements: Mehola in the north, Argaman in the center and Kalia in the south. It reflected Alon’s Plan, which was developed in July 1967 by former Labor Party leader Yeg’al Alon to offer solutions to help Israel overcome the “demographic danger’ by building settlements in the West Bank, particularly in areas with little Palestinian presence. Mehola settlement was the first such effort in the Jordan Valley to support Alon’s Plan. It was built on lands confiscated in Bardala and Ein al-Beida for the purpose of military bases, state or absentee land.

Settlement activity accelerated in the early 1970s until the early 1980s, in which Israel built more and more settlements for agricultural, industrial, religious or military purposes. And since the 1990s, the number of settlements increased from 11 to a total of 36, accommodating more than 6,200 settlers. The area currently covers 1,200 dunums and is continuously expanding into Palestinian land.​

Revisited four years later, Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza offers several very important lessons. On the Palestinian side, they involve state-building. On the Israeli side, the lessons touch on demography, resettlement and, perhaps most important, Israel’s failure to come up with an efficient post-disengagement strategy for dealing with the Gaza Strip and Hamas.​
undone in the gaza
 
The support for a one-state solution is nothing new - Hamas has had this on its mind for some time new.
 
It goes further back to the King Crane commission report of 1919
 
When Arab Muslims colonized Persia during the Islamic Crusades - was that genocide?


If we do not acknowledge the evils of the past, how do we expect to change behavior in the present? I THINK some Americans are now coming around to the idea that Native Americans got shafted. Australians have a somewhat open dialog about Aboriginals. Some Japanese now think the Ainu culture is important enough to save, not snuff out. Chinese Taiwanese do a lot to preserve and promote the aboriginal cultures.

Some of this works, Some of this doesn't work.


In the case of Israel the only solution I can see is something akin to Singapore - where the Israelis play the part of Singaporeans and the Palestinians are absorbed into the neighboring countries. Done and Done.
 
No genocide occurred. However, religious reasons have often been used throughout history to justify genocide. Even God did it in the Bible.
 
The genocide is ongoing. It takes time to wipe a people off the map.

That map is a lie, as I have often pointed out. Jews in Palestine in 1946 were Palestinians, able to buy land just as readily as any Arab, and so the whole thing could be considered the territory of a multicultural society composed of Arabs, Jews, Christians, and a few other minorities.
 
Depends on how many were willing to sell out their nation to other Jews.

Betrayal is the same in any language.
