Preparations for implementing the government’s Disengagement Plan, which was endorsed by the Knesset (Israel's Parliament) in October 2004, received a welcome boost at the Sharm e-Sheikh Summit in February 2005. At the summit, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and PA Chairman Abbas both declared an end to the violence and formally renewed the dialogue for peace. The Disengagement Plan does not replace negotiations, but could make an important contribution to the renewal of peace talks as envisaged by the Roadmap sponsored by the United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations - provided, of course, that the PA eliminates the infrastructure of terrorism. It is Israel’s view that the direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians on the final status will result in the establishment of full peaceful relations between Israel and a Palestinian state.
we left them gaza didnt we? and now they are firing 20 km into israeli proper.
how wrong could we be.
Gaza was occupied, it was always for the Palestinians. You can hardly give someone something that already belongs to them.
if it was occupied, it didnt belong to them did it and we had 10,000 settlers there. which we removed, and we left them gaza after we left.
now after what remind from the jewish presence there was destroyed, and after the palestinians burned the synagogue that was there, instead of rebuilding the area, it is used for terrorists training, and rocket launchers.
Ah so in your opinion, you did them a favor by leaving after occupying them. Which justifies the 500,000 plus people living in illegal settlements all over Palestine?
500,000 or 5,000,000? what do you consider palestine? just the west bank and gaza? or the whole territory?
All beyond the green line. Though I have to say, Israeli actions seem to indicate they may simply be happier having a western state in a western country.
yes, im sure youll be happy to see the jews "return" to europe.
I couldn't care less where they stayed. As long as they recognised the Palestinians right to stay in their own land.
and right of return right? to israel.
There is ample evidence of forcible expulsions. The most notorious was the Lydda/Ramle death march. On July 12 and 13, 1948, on the direct order of Ben-Gurion, Israeli forces expelled the 50,000 residents of the towns of Lydda and neighboring Ramle. Yitzak Rabin, later to become Israeli Prime Minister, wrote in his memoirs that "there was no way of avoiding the use of force and warning shots in order to make the inhabitants march the ten or fifteen miles" required to reach Arab positions. Before they left, the townspeople were "systematically stripped of all their belongings," according to the Economist newspaper in London. Many of the expelled died in the 100-degree heat during the trek.[4]
Eventually the refugees from Lydda and Ramle made their way to refugee camps near Ramallah. Count Folke Bernadotte, Swedish nobleman and United Nations mediator, attempted to offer aid. He later wrote that "I have made the acquaintance of a great many refugee camps, but never have I seen a more ghastly sight than that which met my eyes here at Ramallah." (Later that year, Bernadotte was murdered by the Stern Gang. One of its leaders, Yitzhak Shamir, became Israeli Prime Minister in 1983.)[5]
Forcible expulsions were commonly practiced by the Jewish/Israeli military during 1948: Qisariya on February 15; Arab Zahrat al-Dumayri, al-Rama and Khirbat al-Sarkas in April; al-Ghabisiya, Danna, Najd and Zarnuqa the next month; Jaba, Ein Ghazal and Ijzim on July 24; and al-Bi'na and Deir al-Assad on October 31, among many others. Israeli historian Benny Morris has identified 34 Arab communities whose inhabitants were ousted. We may never know the full extent of the ejections, though, because, as Morris notes, the Israeli Defense Forces Archive "has a standing policy guideline not to open material explicitly describing expulsions and atrocities."[6]
They deserve it.
and what the jews in israel deserve? to live under an arab administration?
i dont think so.
They claim to be a democracy, perhaps they should prove it. They could create a system like Lebanon with a Jewish President and an Arab Prime Minister or Vice versa.
its got nothing to do with democracy-its using democracy for political aims. a silent takeover.
if its democracy you are talking about, the current population in israel-disagrees.
Clearly sharing power in government is a silent takeover, much better to keep people in a state of racial oppression.
No. That is not my POV. I cannot explain that POV as I agree the suicide bombers etc. HAVE provoked the High Kill ratio response by Israel.... Israel actions always breed suicide bombers, and yet, the Palestinians actions dont create "high kill ratio". you can explain that point?
No. That is not my POV. I cannot explain that POV as I agree the suicide bombers etc. HAVE provoked the High Kill ratio response by Israel.
The problem is that this high kill ratio response is not the response that is in Israel's best long term interest. - That should be clear to all after 40+ years of using it has only made the problem worse (and now combined with the economic and Iraq war mess GWB has made) threatens to so alienate even the US financial support , etc. Because of the 1000+ innocents killed in Lebanon for two only captured soldiers, and the recent extremely high kill ratio plus obvious collective punishment in Gaza the US’ military and financial support for Israel in no longer beyond question politically.
Joe American is hurting economically and is now wondering why so much of his foreign aid goes (on per capita basis) to Israel. Some Americans are beginning to question the wisdom of US support for Israel every time they fill their gas tank. All (except strongly the Pro- Israel minority) will do more than wonder as the US sinks into depression. They will demand those funds help out Americans in financial trouble – not Israeli Jews. You are flirting with stimulating a new wave of anti-Semitism! Unfortunately, it seems to always be just below the PC surface.
If you want Israel to have a future, as I do, then PLEASE stop and think a little about what the future does hold for Israel, if the 40+ year failure is the best thing Israel can do.
No. I don't like to worry much about the assignment of blame - there is plenty to go around for all. As far as who started action "Z" it was in retaliation for action "Y" which in turn was in retaliation for action "X" .... which in turn was retaliation for action "B" which clearly was provoked retaliation for action "A" which was... - Not enough letters to get back to the starting cause of this chain of violence, so I will just jump to the real cause:...you seemingly blame israel for everything, ... the Lebanon war was started when hezbullah fired rockets towered northern israel. a fact, conveniently forgotten.
