Palestine - The twice-promised land

Yes, both sides have been playing their part in aggression and violence for many years now, which I posted in order to refute your allegation that I had ignored it, but you do appear to have ignored the reality that this whole mess is a product of the history of Arab aggression and violence against the Jews.

I have never stated that it wasn't a massacre, just that it was a battle caused by the imposition of a blockade on an Israeli supply line to isolated Israelis at a time when war was considered imminent. That you ignore the fact that it was a battle places you on one side of the debate.
Massacre, definition.
__"The meaning of MASSACRE is the act or an instance of killing a number of usually helpless or unresisting human beings".

IMO nothing will improve until the Jews believe they will be allowed to live in peace, that is and always has been the position as far as I can see.

IMO the fundamental problem is that Islamic fanatics are unlikely to ever see a way where Jews can live in peace in Palestine. If that turns out to be the case then the Jews will have little or no alternative but to fight for control of the area.
 

Oh piss off with your personal replies.
I have as much right to an opinion as you do but you spend your time trying to provoke an argument.
Go have one with yourself. I am not playing.

Of course not, but you and the writer of the piece ignore the fact that the Arab / Muslim armies were already lined up to destroy Israel.
IMO the blockade denying the Israeli the ability to supply the isolated Israelis thus weakening the Israeli position, was the first act in the war to annihilate Israel. Again IMO, the anger and concern the blockade caused over the immanent war for survival looming over the Israelis, must have played a part in the Israeli contempt for the defenders of the blockade.
To refuse to see the full picture shows a glaring bias on your part. 

Care to acknowledge a real Massacre? The invasion into Israel by Hamas that sought out unarmed civilians, men women and children for the purpose of killing them. Now that is beyond any doubt truly and accurately described as a massacre. But no one appears to be doing that. 

I have made the needs for the removal of the blockade clear. That it ended in the presumably unnecessary slaughter of many is a product of the danger to Israel the blockade represented. That is not an excuse for what took place, but it is an explanation of the reality of the situation.

I suspect that part of the problem might be the centuries of attacking the Jews which they have just had to put up with because they had no country of their own to stand up for them, has played a part in the mindset of the Jews who now seem to have taken to the view that if anyone attacks us, we will hit back twice as hard. 

Incidentally, "The Quran mentions that the land of Palestine was given to the Children of Israel, but they must remain obedient and fear Allah to maintain their ownership".

No, Your misguided approach repeatedly refuses to take into consideration the plight of the Jews.

I have given you a definition of a massacre and an example of a real massacre, yet all you can see is the atrocity of Deir Yassin. That IMO suggests that whether you are or are not your posts suggests that you are an anti-Semite.  

You do realise Deir Yassin was 75 years ago - we have had many more massacres since then.

The latest being 3 weeks ago..

Well when you are reduced to citing events from 75 years ago as reasons to continue this blood feud then is your motivation really for a peaceful resolution?
