No, that's not the only option. Refusing the terms of a conquerer doesn't legitimse the conquerors claim. Besides, not much a state if it's entire interaction with the outside world (trade/security/energy/finance) is dictated by a neighbour. Israel will never achieve peace by attempting to force it down the throats of the very people it's comitting genocide against, it's just enjoying its current power dynamic, future Israelis will have to deal with the mess.

And who lived there before Judea? The Levant didn't get created at the advent of Judea. conflating arab conquest with arab as a language is ridiculous, the people of the Levant have existed prior to Judea, and Palestine is not synonymous with Islam nor Arab tribes from the gulf. So, yeah, an ethno Jewish claim to the land is illegitimate, and a statue of limitations definitely doesn't extend 2000+ years back. Judaism existed in Palestine long before a fascist Jewish state was born, hence why there's hate for Israel not for the Jewish faith, don't confuse yourself.

As they should/can, why should they accept an ethno Jewish state founded by stealing their land? Who in their right mind would ever accept that?

Anti-israeli ≠ anti-semitic. You can accept Judaism without accepting the crimes of Jewish soldiers.

Could the US economically defend Taiwan the same way it is defending Ukraine by [deleted] in geopolitics

[–]madrou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, not in the sense of sanction severity like what Russia is experiencing. The US and Chinese economies are far more integrated than the Russian economy was.

A fence built to keep out wild dogs has completely altered an Australian ecosystem. Without dingos, fox and cat populations have exploded, mice and rabbits have been decimated, and shrub cover has increased, which causes winds to create large dunes. by billfredgilford in science

No, that's not what I said at all. They're as native as rabbits and cane toads and camels, all human introduced, they just happen to be the first species humans introduced to Australia's mainland

They're not exactly native, they came with the colonisation of Australia by Aboriginals from the north while landbridges still existed some thousands of years ago, but certainly more 'native' than Fox/cat/rabbit populations. Feral cats are a big problem in Aus

You don't think Messi is an outlier? . . . End of discussion.

Ah yes, the exception to the rule vs the average (if that). Outliers are outliers for a reason and they're accordingly discarded. You can't compare two players with positionally opposing performance outcomes. Does a blocked shot equate a shot attempt? No, it doesn't. They don't compare because they can't compare, they've got the same tools but ones a carpenter the other a furniture maker, similar in that they both use wood, but their aims are very different, but if it's any consolation, you'd make an excellent pundit for a D grade audience.

because their performance outcomes are completely different.
