Thread Name: BS: Palestinian Negotiation
Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian Negotiation
Israel offers more than anyone else ever has, to give up what 95% of Samaria and Judea for peace those offers are answered with more violence because the Arab-Palestinians never, ever wanted peace.

This is total bullshit. First of all, Samaria and Judea were not theirs to give up. And secondly, the only thing Israel offered the Palestinians in the West Bank was tiny bantustans surrounded and separated from each other by segregated, Jewish only settlements, Jewish only roads, and Israeli controlled land, endless checkpoints within the West Bank, making it impossible to travel from one village to another, and a tiny fraction of their own water resources... not even enough for basic necessities (while the Jewish only settlements use the vast majority of the West Bank's water resources to water their lawns and fill their swimming pools). Israel offered total subjugation and endless bondage.

The Palestinians have already given up more than 70 percent of the land of their forefathers. But that is not enough. Israel will not be finished with them until every last one of them is gone from the land their families have lived on and worked on and died on for more than a thousand years. Israel may not be saying out loud that their intention is to eliminate the Palestinians in their own land, but that is the result of its actions. And actions most assuredly do speak louder than words.

Israel's greed is not just eliminating the Palestinians. Israel's greed is also killing Israel.
