Now that Basketcase has stated that the settlements are illegal and the UN listed those companies we should expect Basketcase to support a call to boycott those companies.

nottyboi · Feb 15, 2020

I never buy anything from Israel. I have literally put things back on the shelf when I see its made in Israel. However I will happily patronize Jewish businesses in my community.

Actually I stated that according to the UN, the final status of settlements can only be determined by negotiations and continued building is counterproductive. Sadly you think building houses is evil but support terrorism from hamas et al.

Sorry but I'll stand with Canada on this rather than the Human Rights abuser council.

As for boycotts, I'm sure you guys wouldn't actually do a thing that inconveniences you. It's not like you are going to do a thing against Motorolla, Airbnb, or General Mills for example, let alone all the other tech, medical, and agricultural advancements made by those companies. I'm sure there is also a reason why you are so willing to boycott Israel but happily buy Chinese products and Saudi oil.

I don't buy "saudi oil" its not really sold that way. I also feel China is actually less oppressive then Israel It has not attacked and bombed foreign cities for a very long time. The are smaller scale abuses, but with the US admitting to torturing people to death, there is very little "high ground" left in the world today.

Building houses on someone else's land by gunpoint is pretty evil.
You don't agree?

Boycotts are now not only justified but morally responsible.
Now that you've stated the settlements are illegal you should also agree that boycotting illegal squats is a totally legitimate action.
And as someone who claims that they support the two state solution you should also support boycotts in order to save whatever land is possible for a legitimate Palestinian state.
Unless you've been lying about supporting the two state solution all these years.

Tell that to the Uighur and Tibetans. The UN reports on at least a million held in concentration camps and who knows how many just disappeared.

And it is embarrassingly hypocritical of you to boycott one country while excusing the others because there isn't much "high ground"

Disgusting that you think building houses is worse that bombing children at a family picnic or kidnapping and murder of teens on their way home.

The Israeli courts routinely rule in favour of Palestinian people who have ownership of specific lands. As for communally held/state owned land the UN has repeatedly stated that "Palestinian land" can only be determined by negotiations. "Palestinian land" won't exist until their leaders decide to actually consider peace. Bet Abbas feels pretty stupid now after walking away without responding to Olmert's offer.

Boycotts are now not only justified but morally responsible.

Funny that you say that about Israel but have repeatedly argued the polar opposite when it comes to Iran. And as I said, there is zero chance your 'boycott' includes anything that inconveniences you but you try and make yourself feel smug by buying something other than Sabra humus.

And as someone who claims that they support the two state solution you should also support boycotts in order to save whatever land is possible for a legitimate Palestinian state.
Unless you've been lying about supporting the two state solution all these years.

Israel has a long history of giving up land in exchange for peace. Last time they tried it in Gaza, Hamas could have turned the Israeli settlements and agricultural production into something useful but instead they just smashed it up, claimed victory, and redoubled their terror attacks on Israel.

I didn't say it was worse or better than shooting civilian protesters every Friday for over a year, bombing schools, hospitals and apartment buildings or apartheid.
I'd say those are worse, but stealing land at gunpoint and forcing the native population to live in a giant concentration camp is not too far off.
Would you agree, or do you think apartheid is more evil?

.
No, not according to B'teslem, Amnesty, HRW and the UN.
You are out and out lying.

As for communally held/state owned land the UN has repeatedly stated that "Palestinian land" can only be determined by negotiations.

Right, anything past partition borders must be negotiated, including every single settlement, which is assumed Palestinian under international law and the Geneva Conventions.
So what do you think Israel can offer in return for all the settlements?
Desert?

"Palestinian land" won't exist until their leaders decide to actually consider peace. Bet Abbas feels pretty stupid now after walking away without responding to Olmert's offer.

I see, so you think international law and human rights are less important then the attitude of the population living under gunpoint and military occupation.
How Trumpian of you.

Funny that you say that about Israel but have repeatedly argued the polar opposite when it comes to Iran.

The NPT and JCPOA are more effective than sanctions, different issue.
Nice try at whataboutism.

And as I said, there is zero chance your 'boycott' includes anything that inconveniences you but you try and make yourself feel smug by buying something other than Sabra humus.

In which case if its so inconsequential I assume you will have no problem backing it.

Israel has a long history of giving up land in exchange for peace.

How much of the land divided through by the UN has Israel given back in exchange for this ongoing occupation you call peace?

You don't say anything critical about Palestinians, even the ones that Canada and most of the Democratic world see as terrorists simply because you are so ridiculously

When have the Palestinians ever agreed to a peace deal? For that matter, when have they ever produced an offer? The answer is never because both Hamas and Fatah hold power and make money mainly through propagation of the status quo.

p.s. You should actually try reading international law instead of making it up. Israel occupied JORDANIAN land, not Palestinian land. Because of Palestinian terrorism against Jordan's rulers, they didn't want the West Bank back and ceded it to Israel with the caveat that a negotiate peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians would make it Palestinian land. That make sit a heck of a lot more entangled than your claims of Israel 'stealing' Palestinian land.

And yes I know how much my attempts at logic and reality are wasted on your crusade.

Israel regularly kills 9-10 times as many civilians while illegally occupying Palestine, taking their land and ruling them through apartheid.
Why should Palestinians merit anywhere near as much criticism?
They are the victims.

When have the Palestinians ever agreed to a peace deal? .

When has there been a legit peace deal that didn't involve napkins or imaginary promises?

p.s. You should actually try reading international law instead of making it up. Israel occupied JORDANIAN land, not Palestinian land. .

Bullshit, read the UN resolutions.
The settlements you think aren't the problem are all in Palestine, or what could have been Palestine.
Now 61% of Palestinians think the two state solution is dead and 59% now support the one state solution.
Congrats, now you're stuck with the one state solution.

The vast majority are civilians engaged in attacks, not innocent civilians.

Hamas just showed the contrast once again. They are worried that Israel might kill one of the military leadership and their response is threats to launch random rockets at Tel Aviv.

When has there been a legit peace deal that didn't involve napkins or imaginary promises?

Many starting in 1937. The Arab leadership said no to the Peel Commission plan, no to partition, repeated no's in Khartoom, no to Camp David, no to the Clinton parameters, no to the Arab league plan, no to the Quartet, and no to Olmert. Abbas even admitted last week that Olmert's offer should be the basis of talks. Too bad he didn't think that way in 2008 and when he simply refused to respond.

Meanwhile the Palestinians have NEVER made a peace offer (other the Arab offer from the 40's to wipe out the Jewish presence, an offer Hamas still makes).

I love when you quote a survey that says 50% of Palestinians think peace can best be achieved through "armed struggle". I wonder what percent will support attacks on Israeli civilians inside Israel. In December it was 47%.

You also OUTRIGHT LIE about the survey results. 59% oppose a Two State peace. They do not support the one state peace your racist elitism wants them forced into. December's poll had 70% opposed to your farce.
http://pcpsr.org/sites/default/files/Poll 74 English full text_25 Dec2019.pdf

I will bet my terb membership vs. yours that when the the full data comes out, Palestinian opposition to one state peace will be at least the 63% where it has been since they started asking the question more than a decade ago. Of course when you lose you will either ignore the bet or come back with yet another handle.

I'm surprised that more don't support armed struggles there as there have been no peace talks and Israel is talking about 'annexing' their homes. I hope that the ICC comes in soon and that both sides stop supporting violence, that seems like the only way for a non-violent, non-apartheid solution now.

Tone it down, basketcase. I may have misread the numbers, its 59% are now opposed to the two state solution.

Support for the concept of the two-state solution stands at 39% and opposition at 59%. No
description or details were provided for the concept. Two months ago, support for the
concept stood at 42%. 36% of the public believe that a majority of the Palestinians supports
this solution and 57% believe that the majority opposes it.
• A majority of 61% believes that the two-state solution is no longer practical or feasible due
to the expansion of Israeli settlements while 33% believe that the solution remains
practical. Moreover, 76% believe that the chances for the creation of a Palestinian state
alongside the state of Israel in the next five y

So the two state solution is dead, there are no peace talks, Israel is talking about just taking over Palestine and ruling Palestinians in apartheid Banthustans and Palestinians are getting angry enough to consider returning to violence.
This is the result of what you've been pushing for here for years.
The creation of apartheid Israel.

Congrats, you're getting just what you always wanted.

As usual you chose to justify violence from Palestinians instead of condemning it.

And sorry but as far as the Palestinians leadership has been concerned, they've never wanted a two state peace. That is why the PA/PLO have a century long history of saying no and why Hamas openly admits they will never be part of peace talks.

70% of Palestinians oppose an egalitarian One State peace. 58% oppose a Two State peace alongside Israel. That means that prevailing Palestinian opinion is still wanting the Jew free state that Hamas promotes.

I don't justify violence yet knew that you would lay this accusation, as its all you've got.
Instead I noted that there are no peace talks, no basic human rights, protesters are shot for protesting and now Israel plans to 'annex' or steal what remains of Palestine.
And you seemed surprised that they might consider violence.
I call for the ICC to come in and force both sides to obey the law and stop all violence, while you call for more violence against those 'savages' you call 'violent' or 'deserving to die'.
Tell me how you think you're the non-violent one here.

And sorry but as far as the Palestinians leadership has been concerned, they've never wanted a two state peace. That is why the PA/PLO have a century long history of saying no and why Hamas openly admits they will never be part of peace talks.

Israel has never offered a legit two state solution, instead they use negotiations to stall why they put more 'facts in the ground', as you well know.
This apartheid solution is what you've been justifying here for years.
Now you've got it.

70% of Palestinians oppose an egalitarian One State peace.

Now you're lying.

That means that prevailing Palestinian opinion is still wanting the Jew free state that Hamas promotes.

Is that like the Palestinian free state you now preach for, the one that has Jewish only settlements with Palestinians walled in with Bantustans?
How can you claim this is bad when you preach the same thing from a Jewish perspective, including justifying Jewish only settlements calling them 'not the problem'.
This ethnocentric state is exactly what you've been arguing for here, ethnically cleansed 'settlements' on what used to be Palestine.

You've been justifying and supporting apartheid.
Now its here.
So what do you do now, other than wall those natives in and shoot them when the keep rebelling and protesting?

I do condemn the lack of peace talks, apartheid policy and the 'annexation' being planned by Israel that have lead Palestinians to reconsider violence.
I condemn the causes of those attitudes.

Give that you are against Palestinians using BDS, protesting in Gaza, using international law at the ICC, using the UN or UN SC and that Israel has refused peace talks for years while prepping to steal vast amounts of what could have been the two state solution right now, what effective avenue do you suggest Palestinians use to end the occupation or gain equal rights?

Now you're lying.

Want to make a bet on that? Loser leavers terb as I offered before?

Support for the two state solution is at 40% and support for the one state solution is now 37%, according Haaretz, among Palestinians.

More Israelis, Palestinians support the 'one-state' solution

According to a new poll published Feb. 11 by the Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), headed by Khalil Shikaki, support for a two-state solution stands at less than 40% for the first time since the signing of the Oslo Accord. About 61% of respondents no longer believe that a two-state solution is viable, given the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Shikaki tweeted as much just two weeks before the release of the deal of the century, saying that only 28% of Palestinians supported the idea of a single-state solution, but that number skyrocketed to 37% after the plan was released. In an article published in Haaretz upon the release of the deal of the century, Israeli-Arab journalist Nabil Armali wrote, “Actually, the Palestinians no longer have any tools with which they can fight against Israel, apart from describing the potential damage that some envisioned single state would cause. Armed struggle doesn’t have a chance, and it is not worth depending on support from the Arab states or the Arab street.”

Yes, the US has major issues with racism but they don't come anywhere close to China. But at least you didn't ignore the comment the way fraudfooter did.
