If the Palestinians stop firing rockets into Israel, will the 450,000+ Israelis move out of the West Bank?


Share |

And give back the 42% of the territory they currently occupy in the West Bank (not including any of the territory Israel took when they started the Six Day War).

Wanna fun time? ask for proof on this one "Arabs were not ethnically cleansed. They were invited to stay. " And then ask yourself this, " If the Arabs HAD stayed, how would Israel have existed and be a DEMOCRATIC state?" Christian and Muslim Palestinians FAR out numbered the Jews. The USA along with the democratic members states of the Security Council would not have accepted Israel unless it was a democracy. So what would Israel have done if all the Arabs had not left? If they never intended the Arabs to leave, then surely the new Israeli government must have had a plan!! Well..what was it? Also people LOVE to bring up little technicalities in UN 242, yet are conveniently silent when it comes to UN 446 which EXPLICITLY refers to the territories as a MILITARY OCCUPATION and that ALL settlements were ILLEGAL; EVEN in JERUSALEM. Israel is the ONLY country the says the settlements are legal. I think people also forget that the PA and the West Bank is not Gaza, nor can the PA do anything about Hamas. People over look the attacks in the West Bank on Palestinians, the destruction of their property, attacks on even children. Many here in Westernized countries take much for granted. Can you imagine people throwing rocks at your children on their way to school, and not only will the authorities not do anything, but if you threatened or attacked those responsible, even during the act of protecting your children, could be the end of your freedom or your life. Could you imagine somebody burning down your orchard...and there's nothing you can do about it? AND to add insult to injury you're told that there can't be a peaceful solution until YOU give up violence!!!

The only honest result would be for the actual god that made this contract with the Jews to come down from wherever it`s been hiding for eternity to pop down and sort the matter out with both parties lawyers.

Until we actually see the signed contract and the god we must assume that all land gained by that particular group has been fraudulently obtained.

Until we see Hezbollah, Netanyahu et al and the god smiling around a table with the signed documents nothing will change.

This lie of god always causes great misery, a huge amount of unwarranted deaths and worldwide corruption.

"Give back?"

The land was won from Jordan. And Jordan has formally relinquished their claim on it.
It is in legal limbo, belonging to no country.
It is currently under Israel's administrative control as per UN SC Res 242 until and unless all relevant parties peacefully negotiate final status borders.

Most of those "settlers" are living on Jewish owned private property or government owned property that was merely "Jew free" from 1948-1967 when Arabs seized it and ethnically cleansed Jews from those areas.

If palestinians stop trying to destroy Israel, they can all peacefully negotiate safe and secure final status borders as per UN SC Res 242.

It is a shame that 20% of all Israelis are Arabs and this is ok yet the notion of a single Jew living in any area that Arabs want as a second state is such an unthinkable act.

PS there are about 300 - 350k settlers, not 450k.

PPS: 1. Arabs were not ethnically cleansed. They were invited to stay. Did ANY Jews do any bad things? Yes, sadly. They were the exception. The proof is in the pudding. Very many Arab stayed and that is why 20% of all Israelis are Arabs. 0% of anyone in Jordan or WB or Gaza or Jerusalem were Jewish because they were ethnically cleansed.
2. We probably disagree as to whether Jerusalem residents are settlers. I'd argue they are not.

I accept Chaos

Of course not, Why do you think that it is the Israelis that break ceasefire 90% of the time?

They have the crazy idea that some sky magician told men to write down that their ancestors owned the land Israel occupies.

Amazing how you idiot Christians back up a brutal murdering regime yet loudly proclaim how Christlike you are.

Oh sure, and if El Paso, TX gives the homes and land they occupy (own) to the Mexican drug cartel then there will be peace on all our borders. I would not only hesitate to use amnesty as a viable source I would be embarrassed.

Israel legally owns the land they are on. It is not an occupation. It is the promise land given to them by God himself. . I don't think they will move out of the west bank territory because the legally own that one too. It is better if the Hamas lay down their arms and move to Iran. Hezzbolah would also do better if they moved to Iran too. Israel is going to kick their asses real soon. This time they will no be just set back. They will be back in the stone age again.

 
Mr Natural - Maranatha!

Yikes, you have brought the fruitcakes out on this one!

'Israel' is a rogue nation.
'Israel' illegally occupies the Palestinian Territories.
'Israel' commits human rights violations there every day.
This 'Israel' is not the Israel of God and The Bible.
This 'Israel' is a mockery and blasphemy.
They will get what they deserve but only from God.
