The whole basis of Israel is racist. A religiously/ethnically based country.

well, what do u expect. He told the Jewish newspaper, The Forward, "Even before I was a Democrat, I was a Zionist." So he's a pig and his loyalty goes to the shitland Israel. That's a fact

@steute2011 You hate to be confused by facts prefering your fairy tale version of history so of course we will disagree

[steute2011]

@AbuAvital Well I take it you have elected to make an unsubstantiated statement and are not willing to back it up? So I guess you are right on one point...There can be no meaningful discussion in the absence of clear and concise points. Perhaps we just agree to disagree?

[AbuAvital]

@steute2011 Stop acting dumb, you know exactly what I mean this is arab revisionist history that you quote and you know it.

[steute2011]

@AbuAvital I do not know what "Arab source" you are referring to? What I have stated is the specific text in the actual documents.

[AbuAvital]

@steute2011 well if you are going to quote as your sourses the arab version of history then I see meaningful discusion is imposible

@AbuAvital From the San Remo conference came the Mandate for Palestine, which was abandoned by the British and turned over to the UN, due to Zionist terrorism, i.e., the bombing of the King David Hotel. We all know where it went from there.

[steute2011]

@AbuAvital The biggest misconception of the San Remo Conference is that it declared all of Mandate Palestine to be a homeland for the Jewish people. That document and all subsequent documents make no such declaration. What it states is a "homeland for the Jews IN Palestine" not ALL. Further evidence of that is the portion that states "it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine"

[AbuAvital]

@steute2011 read up on San Remo and you will see that under international law Israel should have even more teritory than today.

[steute2011]

@AbuAvital Actually if your interpretation of an "educated" opinion is based on Bible scripture, as it certainly appears to be, then you are 100% correct...I do not have one! On the other hand if it is based on the documentary legal record and international law, then it is you that does not have an educated opinion. I speak strictly from the current and long standing opinions of the adjudicative bodies, i.e., International Court of Justice and the Geneva Conventions.
