There's a saying that runs along the lines that it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
There's another saying that runs along the lines of "stupid is as stupid does". What the Palestinians are doing is stupid and it is what put them on their knees in the first place.
Incidentally, seeing the "occupiers" withdraw leaving a whole bunch of capital infrastructure and then smashing it all ain't really "living on your feet". It's demonstrating that your culture and society are a bit special needs.
So whilst the Palestinian resistance to Israeli subjugation and violence maybe futile and some of it deemed to be illegal,
Yes, futile and "deemed to be illegal". Not morally repugnant and abhorrent or anything like that, gosh no.
it is still their choice.
FINALLY. Someone actually ascribing agency and responsibility to the Palestinians for their dysfunction and conduct. Remember this the next time the racism of low expectations turns into "pro-Palestinians" arguing that OF COURSE the Palestinians are going to react to [insert grievance] by [insert act of brutally murdering civilians and then celebrating the murder].
And for every mass slaughter of Palestinians by the Israelis a new generation of attackers are guaranteed.
blah blah. How did that go with the Japanese?
Makes ya wonder if that actually suits the Zionist agenda.
yeah, them Jews love it that the Palestinians keep trying to sneak past soldiers and murder their children. You really understand Jews, don't you.
And once again we see just how unrealistic your own commentary can be . Expecting Hamas fighters , armed with Kalashnikovs , to exit their towns and cities to stand in open ground so as to take on Israeli F 16's and Merkava tanks is just baffling
No, I expect them to be murderous scumbags who use human shields as a routine strategy and base themselves in hospitals and schools. Of course there is a difference between expectations and understandings. I expect. You understand.
Incidentally, they could also, you know, sue for peace and give up the central motivating factor in their entire movement - the destruction of Israel, but godforbid anyone would think they should do that.
That there is widespread corruption within the PA was one of the reasons that they lost the election in Gaza in the first place. And it's not just the Palestinians that engage in kleptocratic activities or excessive military budgets at the expense of social spending.
I'm a bit baffled. So this is what? An admission that yes the analysis is bogus but it isn't like the Palestinians have, what, the MOST corrupt government on the planet, just, what, the top 10%?
I don't really see how this in any way relates to the argument, other than as simply an admission that my observations were right and that the analysis in the original report is dumb.
You can speculate all you want about Palestinian reconstruction but if you want to remain in the " real world " there are many considerations to take into account on the subject.
Like what? Explain how in the real world if the Israelis just rocketed themselves into space but prevented the Palestinians from taking any piece of Israel proper how the Palestinians would have any sort of positive outcome based on their society and government. This should be fun...
There are all of the Israeli building restrictions for one thing, both in the WB and Gaza. There is the fact that the PA , by and large , are given the aid money with all of the problems inherent in that. There is also the sheer scale of the 10's of 1000's of people without homes
So what? None of that is relevant. The Palestinians would immediately devolve into open civil war and rampant corruption. Funds and materiel would be taken by the various warring factions. Nothing would get built and economic activity, already anemic, would decline substantially. Everyone smart and rich enough to leave would leave, except those who think they have more to benefit from the corruption and war bands.
How could any other outcome be possible at this stage?
Also who said Hamas started the war ? Netanyahu , hardly an impartial source.
The Israeli ill treatment , dispossession and displacement of Palestinians predate Hamas by just on 4 decades !!
lol. Sure the Israelis started it. Standard nonsense, but calls for a different thread.
