good for them; is there some reason they shouldn't have?

- cwkoss 2y agoThe scale of torture and killing perpetrated by the IDF and illegal settlers inside Palestinian territory is several orders of magnitude larger, and the right of an occupied people to resist violently is protected by international law.

- insane_dreamer 2y agoIf you're going to go back to 1967 to explain the WB occupation, then you have to go back to the war of 1948 whereby Israeli Jews took over Palestine to begin with as the British withdrew, resulting in over 700,000 Palestinians fleeing their homes or being expelled (read up on the Nakba). That's the root cause of why the WB and Gaza are occupied and the ongoing conflict. > Calling it occupied is like calling parts of Poland and France occupied because Germany started a war in 1967 and lost, losing territory. very false equivalency

- insane_dreamer 2y agoSorry but your response is a grave distortion of what happened in 1948. And saying there is no occupation is also completely false. But you’re clearly not interested in facts so no point in arguing further.
- nailer 2y agoBritain partitioning Palestine into Jordan, the Arab state and the Jewish state is universally accepted history. You can confirm it at any source you like. The Arab league attacking Israel in 1948 is also universally accepted matter of history. You can also confirm it from any source you like.
- cwkoss 2y agoPropaganda nonsense. - that article is nearly a year old. - Israel grossly over counts who is Hamas. - Lancets July estimate was 200k dead. If 17k Hamas have died AND we exclude all civilians that have been killed since July, that's still 10 dead civilians for every legitimate target - horrible and despicable
- ComputerGuru 2y agoAbsolutely not; in fact, I was commending them for it.

- insane_dreamer 2y agoAnd Israel has proven it doesn't either. Not sure what the point is here?
- tzs 2y agoYou asked, referring to Palestine's admission to the ICC: > good for them; is there some reason they shouldn't have? Their point is that the ICC should only be admitting those who intend to abide by the rules that ICC exists to enforce. Since it was Palestine's admission you asked about their answer referred to Palestine leaders' intentions with regard to those rules. That Israel also doesn't abide by those rules is not relevant to the question you asked. It would be relevant if the question was whether or not Israel should be admitted to the ICC (and Palestinian lack of abiding by those rules would be irrelevant to that question).

- chakintosh 2y agoIt's a country that was stolen, gutted and defaced when Israel was created. So yeah, i'm not surprised people like you still think Palestine is not a state...
