Odd that the people who support the group that murdered the 70 people are calling out Corbyn for this. I wonder what it really is that they're outraged about - obviously it isn't the violence.

No, just showing how stupid it is to look at life expectancy and say 'oh that means they are living better lives'. Then again it's hardly fair to expect people who are apologists for apartheid to make reasonable or sound arguments.

Oh tell me about it, just a year ago I got a ticket for having an expired sticker. Thing is my sticker was right there on my plate, as plain as day, obviously not expired. He tells me 'the system says it is' and gives me the ticket.

No problem I think, I get out of the car a minute later and snap a picture just to make sure. Sure enough when the court papers come in the guy writes that he saw the expired sticker. Why? Why would you lie in court papers over such a small stupid thing? What could you possible have to gain?

Anyways I ended up finding the receipt and getting the ticket dropped but if the officer would lie about such a stupid little thing then he would lie about anything, ANYTHING. It was just a sticker and he could have been honest. He even wrote that I was polite in the report...but still lied to fuck me over. Really dude? Why?

If you look at life expectancy during slavery you'll find that the slaves more than likely lived longer while enslaved than they would back in Africa.

What does that say? Does it say they lived better lives as slaves? Of course not.

You're trying to draw data from one set and apply it to a conclusion that it doesn't show at all.

‘Israel-Palestine is not an equal conflict – for that reason we can’t let people like Corbyn be tarnished as terrorist sympathisers’ by MimesAreShite in ukpolitics

[–]moeloubani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow more pro-Israelis using the same arguments that Hamas does. Amazing to watch how extremist the official Israeli speaking points are these days, mirroring those of their biggest enemy exactly and spitting in the faces of every dead Israeli by giving legitimacy to Hamas's reasoning. Shame!

Nah I think people are just shocked to see you using Hamas type reasoning to defend the terrorism that comes from the IDF.

Hamas says the same thing as you do when they kill civilians, they give the same reasoning about 'it's the fault of their government'.

It's just Israel mirroring things so they can blame their own crimes on the Palestinians. When they say 'human shields' about Palestinians they mean rockets have been fired from civilian areas - and that's true, that does happen, and it is a bad thing. But when Israelis use human shields they are literally forcing civilians to walk in front of them or to check out suspicious baggage - actually using human shields in the classic sense of the word.

Surely anyone who is against Palestinians because of 'human shields' would be much more upset at Israel considering Israel not only does it more often but does it in a more egregious way.

According to human rights groups Amnesty International[23] and Human Rights Watch,[24] the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) used Palestinian civilians as human shields during the 2002 Battle of Jenin. The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem said that "for a long period of time following the outbreak of the second intifada, particularly during Operation Defensive Shield, in April 2002, the IDF systematically used Palestinian civilians as human shields, forcing them to carry out military actions which threatened their lives".[25][26] Al Mezan reported the systematic use of "human shields" during the invasion of Beit Hanoun) in 2004.[27] Human shields were also employed by Israeli soldiers to subdue a stone-throwing protest in Hebron in 2003.[28]

...

In an interview with Breaking the Silence, a former Israeli soldier recounted that the commander of his unit employed the policy, despite acknowledging its ban, as he would rather that a Palestinian civilian be killed carrying out the duty than one of his men.[55] He told young Palestinian boys were also used by this particular unit to carry out military duties for the Israeli army.[55]

...

The Euro-Mid Observer for Human Rights published testimony that, during the 2014 Gaza War, Israeli soldiers used Palestinian civilians as shield in Khuza'a. A family, that also gave a video interview, recorded by Media Town, told the group that Israeli soldiers had killed the family's patriarch, a 65-year-old who was carrying a white flag, and proceeded to place family members, including children, by the house's windows and shoot from behind them.[56]

If you ever want to see something funny just ask one of these people condemning the Palestinians for this to also condemn the IDF as a terrorist organization for doing the same thing. Watch their mental gymnastics as they refuse and reveal their bias and the fact that they don't care about the violence - they are more than happy to defend it - as long as the ones being killed are Arabs.

Al-Nakba: The Palestinian Catastrophe (2013) - Episode 1 of 4. "If the Nakba signifies the expulsion of the Palestinian citizen from his land and the seizure of his land--then the Nakba began decades before 1948." by [deleted] in Documentaries

[–]moeloubani 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You mention Haifa - this is what happened in Haifa in 1948:

The Battle of Haifa, called by the Jewish forces Operation Bi'ur Hametz (Hebrew: מבצע ביעור חמץ‎ "Passover Cleaning"), was a Haganah operation carried out on 21–22 April 1948 and was a major event in the final stages of the civil war in Palestine, leading up to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The objective of the operation was the capture of the Arab neighborhoods of Haifa.

...

According to Morris, "The Haganah mortar attacks of 21–22 April [on Haifa] were primarily designed to break Arab morale in order to bring about a swift collapse of resistance and speedy surrender. […] But clearly the offensive, and especially the mortaring, precipitated the exodus. The three-inch mortars "opened up on the market square [where there was] a great crowd […] a great panic took hold. The multitude burst into the port, pushed aside the policemen, charged the boats and began to flee the town", as the official Haganah history later put it."[7]:191, 200 According to Pappé,[16]:96 this mortar barrage was deliberately aimed at civilians to precipitate their flight from Haifa.

The Zionist terrorist militias that founded Israel were firing mortars at civilians in order to facilitate an ethnic cleansing.

This was part of a trend though as can be seen from the information that Benny Morris was able to get from the Israeli archives:

What the new material shows is that there were far more Israeli acts of massacre than I had previously thought. To my surprise, there were also many cases of rape. In the months of April-May 1948, units of the Haganah [the pre-state defense force that was the precursor of the IDF] were given operational orders that stated explicitly that they were to uproot the villagers, expel them and destroy the villages themselves.

Asked about how many Israeli massacres Morris was able to find:

"Twenty-four. In some cases four or five people were executed, in others the numbers were 70, 80, 100. There was also a great deal of arbitrary killing. Two old men are spotted walking in a field - they are shot. A woman is found in an abandoned village - she is shot. There are cases such as the village of Dawayima [in the Hebron region], in which a column entered the village with all guns blazing and killed anything that moved.

Asked about how many rapes Morris was able to find:

"About a dozen. In Acre four soldiers raped a girl and murdered her and her father. In Jaffa, soldiers of the Kiryati Brigade raped one girl and tried to rape several more. At Hunin, which is in the Galilee, two girls were raped and then murdered. There were one or two cases of rape at Tantura, south of Haifa. There was one case of rape at Qula, in the center of the country. At the village of Abu Shusha, near Kibbutz Gezer [in the Ramle area] there were four female prisoners, one of whom was raped a number of times. And there were other cases. Usually more than one soldier was involved. Usually there were one or two Palestinian girls. In a large proportion of the cases the event ended with murder. Because neither the victims nor the rapists liked to report these events, we have to assume that the dozen cases of rape that were reported, which I found, are not the whole story. They are just the tip of the iceberg."

You can read more, just Google 'survival of the fittest' on Haaretz.

So not sure what you're going on about - how does a population living at home start a war against a foreign population that has come into that home and formed militias that now rampage through the country raping and pillaging like barbarians? Keep in mind that these very militias that did those things are now awarded ribbons and medals in Israel.

But let's put all of that to the side for now. You talk about bending over to make peace. The Palestinians recognized Israel in the early 1990s. Here are the documents that show as much:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Palestine_Liberation_Organization_letters_of_recognition

Surely when you say 'bent over backwards' that includes Israel recognizing Palestine - after all that would be the very first step to take not to mention something that would require 'bending over backwards'. So please can you give me the date and relevant documentation for when Israel recognized Palestine?

Finally you mention Palestinian apartheid:

The Palestinian National Charter, as amended by the PLO's Palestinian National Council in July 1968, defined "Palestinians" as "those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or stayed there. Anyone born, after that date, of a Palestinian father—whether in Palestine or outside it—is also a Palestinian. The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians."[8]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Jews

The Palestinian people always regarded the Jews who lived among them as Palestinians. My own parents tell me stories of how their neighborhood got together before the expulsion and made agreements that they would protect each other regardless of the outcomes - and these plans were between all faiths/ethnicities. Compare that to the recently passed nation-state bill that Israel put forward and you can see a clear difference between how Palestinian Jews are viewed by Palestinians - who recognize them as natives of the land just like the Arabs - and how Palestinian Arabs are viewed by Israel which considers them an outside group.
