DeepSight:So your point is that Hamas is in line with you he treaty because they are not signatory right? You keep showing off your ignorance. Are you signatory to the Nigerian constitution? Go ahead and break the law of the land and then tell the Judge that you are not a signatory to the law. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

tctrills: *Sigh* Ok, here goes. Please open your ears and eyes this time oh. Because I am tired. This is a take from the International Committe of the Red Cross which is explanatory. "The ICRC's official position is that the West Bank has been occupied by Israel since 1967. Consequently, the ICRC has repeatedly stated that Israel settlements' policy goes against key provisions of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), specifically the law of occupation, and is contrary to its intent and spirit. The 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention (GCIV) prohibits an Occupying Power from transferring its own population into the territories under its occupation. Therefore, Israel's settlements policy in the West Bank contradicts the Fourth Geneva Convention. Settlement expansion – be it through formal expansion of existing settlements or through the largely unchecked spread of unauthorized outposts – is the key source of legal and humanitarian concerns in the West Bank. With its decades-long presence in the occupied Palestinian territory, the ICRC has been a witness to settlements' impact. They restrict Palestinians' freedom of movement and affect the social and economic fabric of entire communities. They can limit Palestinians' access to their agricultural lands, natural resources or medical services. They also contribute to violence between Israeli settlers and Palestinian communities." https://www.icrc.org/en/document/ihl-occupying-power-responsibilities-occupied-palestinian-territories Now understood? I hope you will not be so daft as to continue in your ways by now asking me whether Israel is bound by the views of the ICRC. Because I will not put such an infantile question beyond you. Now that is one. Two, let's quickly treat your confusion on the United Nations. The U.N is not a court. The question concerns borders. Israel was set up under the auspices of the U.N British Mandate for Palestine. This puts that organization in an eminent position to speak to the issues as they arise from the matter of borders. Its not about harping on and on about whether Israel is bound. Every sovereign state can choose how it conducts itself whether that be rougue conduct or responsible conduct. The International community is virtually unanimous on the question of the illegality of the West Bank Settlements. This is not a matter for dispute and is generally beyond cavil in the international coummunity. |

DeepSight:Now you have show your ignorance in what is happening at the West Bank. The government of Israel has never transfered anyone to the West Bank. The Geneva treaties doesn't stop any Israeli from willingly moving to the so called occupied areas on their own |
tctrills: 9:23am On May 15, 2024 |
DeepSight:Again you are wrong because the disputed land isn't Palestinians land and that's why it is desputed. Just as Palestinians settle in the land, so can Israelis live in the land and that has been the argument. That land had never been established as belonging to the Palestinians. So there again, the case against Israel is very weak |
DeepSight(m): 9:25am On May 15, 2024 |
tctrills: Oh, that's why IDF is always present to enforce right? And how exactly does a private individual from anywhere else in the world just "move in" and settle on a foreign land if not with government imprimatur? Have you ever heard of the "right of return" as espoused for Jews? Its obvious you dont know anything about the issue if you can claim not to be aware of people being kicked out of their homes forcefully to settle Jews there. And if you dont know that, or claim not to know that, then its one of two things - you are either an inveterate liar or you have been living under a rock. That rock could possibly be your fanatical religion though. But on a serious note this sort of post which you just made has made me feel really really stupid. I must be, to be countenancing this sort of conversation with a person who can say this. Its like arguing with a person who says the second world war never happened. |

DeepSight:The IDF is present to protect Israelis from violence extremist. We both know that's one of the most volatile regions of the world. Again, the idea that the west bank is a foreign land shows you know nothing about the region. Up to 1948, there where so many Israeli communities in the West Bank. The Jordanian government kicked them off up on till 63 when Israel reclaimed the land. So none of the UN rules apply here. It's two people with claims to a land and telling Israelis not to settle in their land is against their rights. Lastly, you were dumb before I ever posted so don't blame my post for it. |

DeepSight: According to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, there are 451,700 Jews living in West Bank settlements as of the year 2020. Between 20,000 and 30,000 more live in illegal West Bank outposts. All settlements are located in Area C, the 60% of the West Bank controlled by Israel. Given that Israel has not annexed the West Bank, Jewish settlements in the territory are not considered by Israel to be under its sovereignty. Emergency regulations renewed every five years extend Israeli criminal and some civil law to Israeli citizens in the West Bank. Prior to Israel’s founding and the Jordanian occupation of the West Bank, the territory contained several Jewish communities, as well as millennia of Jewish history and many of Judaism’s holiest sites, such as the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron. Jordan expelled 17,000 Jews from the West Bank during the 1948 war, and when Israel conquered the territory in 1967, it had no Jewish population. The first West Bank settlement was Kfar Etzion, a Jewish community that existed prior to 1948 that Israel reestablished in 1967. The first decade of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank saw the establishment of 32 settlements, primarily in the Jordan Valley and around Jerusalem. Under this era’s Labor-led governments, security was the primary rationale for encouraging the establishment of civilian Jewish communities in these areas. The aim was to establish the Jordan River as Israel’s eastern security border, encircle the large Palestinian population in the mountain range running north-south through the West Bank’s center, and widen the narrow approach to Jerusalem. This strategy was in line with the Allon Plan, a proposal developed in the wake of the Six-Day War by then-Labor Minister Yigal Allon to divide the West Bank. The Allon plan imagined Israeli annexation of the eastern flank of the territory and the area surrounding Jerusalem, while the rest of the West Bank, which contained most of the Palestinian population, would be returned to Jordan. Although the Israeli government never formally adopted the plan, it served as an influential vision while Labor was in power, with most settlements during this period established in areas designated for Israeli annexation by the plan. The size of the settler population does not come close to threatening the West Bank’s solid Palestinian majority. 85.2% of West Bank residents are Palestinians. Jews are the majority population (51.9%) within the environs of Jerusalem. In all other parts of the West Bank, Palestinians are the overwhelming majority. 96.7% of the population along the West Bank’s central mountain range that connects the major Palestinian cities is Palestinian. The growth rate of the settler population has fallen to 2.24% from a high of 16% in 1991. Most of this growth is the result of natural growth, rather than migration, and almost half of it is from the Haredi cities of Modi’in Illit and Beitar Illit—both of which are consensus settlements that would be annexed to Israel under any two-state formulation. Settlements deep in the West Bank in areas slated for evacuation do not pose a demographic threat. Moreover, the West Bank Jewish population’s growth is expected to fall given current trends. The Palestinian population density in the West Bank is six times higher than that of the Jewish population—472 people per square kilometer, compared to 78. The Jewish population density in the West Bank is lower than the overall population density of the Negev Desert. The layout of the West Bank’s Jewish population is also ineffective for the purposes of controlling the territory. Settlements are largely concentrated linearly, such as along the Green Line, along Route 60 through the central mountain ridge, and along Route 90 in the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea region. ‣The Palestinian population, by contrast, is more evenly distributed throughout the entire territory, with the exception of the sparsely populated Jordan Valley (where Palestinians, nevertheless, still outnumber Jews). 77% of settlers reside west of the security barrier, as opposed to deep in the West Bank. Various two-state proposals include land swaps that would result in the majority of settlers being annexed to Israel without impeding Palestinian contiguity. Dr. Shaul Arieli’s proposal for a stable border is based on a 3.9% land swap that would leave 77.7% of Israelis east of the Green Line (including in East Jerusalem)—521,000 people—under Israeli sovereignty. This leaves approximately 150,000 settlers who live outside of the zone of probable agreement and therefore would need to be evacuated and resettled within Israel’s borders. |

Lawag3:they just live there and they have no power to govt . Lawag3:how u sure those modern day Arabic speaking Palestinians aren't closer to the ancient Jews than the modern European Jews we are seeing? Lawag3:Even netanyahu was from Poland. Majority are causacian, while minority are Sephardic Jews,Mizrahi Jews and some beta from Ethiopian. Lawag3:people like netanyahu and co. The ones that Hitler massacred,and they also doing it to Palestinians now. What a life. |

compton11: First of all history Every sources says Ashkenazi Jews emerged from in Rome from the communities of Jewish migrants who left Israel to Rome. from Rome they spread to other parts of Europe you can check this it's a fact Secondly genetics most Ashkenazi genes show that their paternal genes 80 percent of it is from the middle East. You can check it out. Almost 40 percent of Jews in Israel are mizrahi. Check for yourself Every Jew in any where in the world speaks Hebrew. Palestinians Arabs don't. The Jews were not indigenous to any European countries not Poland, England, not any. The Jews are from the Middle East and that's fact . That's why in the World War when Hitler killed 3 million people in Poland every news paper or sources called this people Jews not polish. Let me tell you genocides in 7 months Hitler had killed 3 million Jews he killed off 70 percent of Jews in Europe In less than a year almost 80% of the Tutsi in Rwanda was killed. In Cambodia less than two half of the population are died. Bosnia Muslims more than half were killed China used forced labor,suppression of Uyghur religious practices, political indoctrination, forced sterilization, forced contraception,and forced abortion to reduce the population of the Uygurs Moslem by 70% jailed a million of them for just being Uyghur. Now the Jewish genocide Less than 1 percent of gazans are dead Israel sends aids and allows aid to get to the people they are genociding Israel warns the people they intend to genocide to leave a vincity that will soon become dangerous due to fighting. Let's be real Palestinians do not tell you the numbers of Hamas fighters dead Israel does, it says 17k hamas fighters are dead UN recently reduced the number of Causalties of women and children by half because it wasn't true. Hamas killed up to 1500 people in just a day carried an additional 300 as hostages. What should Israel have done. 1 Like |

Lawag3:it ain't fact,even if it a fact,this modern Ashkenazi are Caucasian. Lawag3:u can't tell me that netanyahu is 80% middle East Lawag3:well Sephardic and Ashkenazi are the majority, and they both from Europe. Lawag3:well many European Jews can't speak it. Even mark Zuckerberg can't speak it,just because you are one ethnic doesn't mean u can't speak the language, especially when u ain't raised up with it. And According to Archaeologic and genetic data that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian peoples in ancient times. the so called Jewish lands once belongs to Canaanites? Lawag3:but part of the gene do. Lawag3:you right, David, Joseph, Jesus, Solomon and so on not netanyahu, Zuckerberg, Albert Einstein Lawag3:yes cos they were Jewish by ethnic and they were Polish Jews. Lawag3:and the rest were shipped to Palestine,the Palestine welcomed them and they began collecting the land small small. Lawag3:Do u know na Uganda the British wanted to give them? Uganda Scheme was a plan to give a portion of the East Africa Protectorate to the Jewish people as a homeland. The offer was first made by British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain to Theodore Herzl's Zionist group in 1903. He offered 5,000 square miles (13,000 km2) of the Mau Escarpment in what is today Kenya. |

compton11: Netenyahu has both polish and Jewish ancestry his grandmother is polish how grand father is Jewish. His father married a Jew. It's a fact dear modern Ashkenazi are decendants of Israelites who came to Rome. Fact And yes Askenazi Jews are mixed because Jews intermarried with Europeans but still they remain Jewish. As show by genetics. Yes Ashkenazi are the majority some of them are in Europe or America as part of the Jewish diaspora. But still mizrahi Jews are about 2 million and did not migrate to Europe they make up 40% of the Jews in Israel. Yes and that is correct but Jews are different from Arabs both are from Abraham but they are different. The Canaanites are extinct. |
Lawag3: 3:56pm On May 15, 2024 |
compton11: The fact is more Jews speak Hebrew they communicate in that language. The Jews were the ones who rejected that Ugandan scheme. They insist in going to their ansentral land. |

Lawag3:all European Jews of European descent. Even if u check his dna ,it will include many ethnic apart from jew. Lawag3:distant relation of isrelites but they're majority Caucasians. Many negroes in America are mixed like the jews Lawag3:ok Lawag3:this ain't about whether Arab or Jews. It's about lands that has already occupied by some people for many century Lawag3:then the Jews collected their land and another people collected it when the Jews Left. This is Life Native can never collect the Land that white Americans collected from them back. |

compton11: Palestine was never a country. And that's a fact |
Lawag3: 8:16pm On May 15, 2024 |
compton11: They are called Jews because they are related to Israelites. Professionals have already look into this and the fact is this guys are from the middle East. Natenyahu grandmother is polish so yes he has polish genes his grandfather is jew. People from Poland do not bear the name natenyahu. Negros in America are mixed doesn't change the fact that they come from Africa right? Native Americans live in America and have lands in America. So Jews are native to the land they should be allowed to stay in the land. The fact was Palestine was never a country. |
