    Again, they have various areas like B and C, and whatnot; it is only one of those areas, I believe, more closely around Jereusluem, that has more blanket prohibition... it is not the entirety of the West Bank. 
     

    Area C and East Jerusalem make up ~75% of the West Bank.

    Systemic to what? The point is that where there are close living conditions between Israelis and Palestinians, there is some violence that happens. Its like any other statistic... In America something like 10,000 people die a year falling down stairs. 

    Is that "systemic?"

    Truly not a serious person if you're comparing random household accident to calculated acts of violence.
     

    Quote

    To the larger point here, the fact that there is some small amount of violence that occurs for some small % of the population, that is hardly evidence of ethnic cleansing. 

    Its simply a matter of the human condition that when people who have generations of hate and angst and religious animosity towards one another are in close proximity that incidents will happen. 

    Yes who hasn't gotten into a dispute with a neighbour that ended with you stealing their house? jfc.

    The demolishment was only the third time that the current government under Netanyahu has removed illegal settler constructions.

    Odd, I can see a whole lot more typing out than "nuh uh" going on from me here. 

    The sentiment is the same.

    Quote

    Nice strawman. I never said anything about every single house being destroyed and every single person expelled. It is you who seems to think that any amount of people harmed = ethnic cleansing, which is absurd. 

    Yes you did lol.

    Quote

    Not exactly. The issue is limited to a particular area of the West Bank where Israel doesn't allow for any new land to be built on in that particular area without permission. I am not aware of any blanket prohibition in all of the West Bank... that is absurd on its face. If that were the case, there would literally be nothing new built anywhere for the last almost 50 years. The settlements destroyed are those built illegally in this particular area without permission. 

    As with the policy of kicking Palestinians off their land, there's no explicit de jure prohibition, but permits are prohibitively expensive and seldom granted even if someone can afford them.

    Quote

    Guess what? Israel also demolishes Israeli structures that are built illegally in this area as well, and a whole lot of Palestinian structures are not torn down that were built illegally. 

    Cite?

    Quote

    I think there are some 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank and the settler violence we are talking about around 1,000 various incidents of violence a year, stuff like an Isreali settler killed a cow included in that number. So no, there is no systemic large scale violence against all of the Palestinian people in the West Bank. We are talking about the isolated incidents between where Isrealis and Palestinians live near each other and that violence is not all one sided either. 

    1000 incidents a year is like three per day, that's not systemic? Come the hell on.

    Quote

    Yes, just as the numbers of Palestinians increase as well. That is usually what happens when people have families and populations naturally grow... That is not ethnic cleansing. 

    Again: ethnic cleansing has nothing to do with the size of a given population and everything to do with where they are.

    Amazing you typed this out, and you don't see the irony. 

    There's nothing ironic here. I've given you a definition of ethnic cleansing, shown evidence of what's going on and explained how the latter fits the former and you're response has been "nuh uh."

    Quote

    The Nazis were literally rounding them up to try to kill them all or as many as they could. Every Jew was systematically hunted down and shipped off somewhere to die or be killed outright.

    Yes but if it's not ethnic cleansing unless every single house is destroyed and every single person expelled, then it's not genocide if anyone is left alive. Sorry, but those are your rules.

    Quote

    Israel has not killed millions of Palestinians nor are they trying to. Israel is not rounding up Palesitnians for death. Which is why I continually point out the absurdity of your claim here, since the Palestinian population is increasing, they were given Gaza to do as they please with, they have some authority over themselves in the West Bank and ability to expand and grow there as well. 

    Except they don't. Israel won't let them build and is destroying existing settlements. Do you need someone to do the math for you? Also, I've already explained why "population go up" is a retarded gauge when the point of ethnic cleansing is about removing people from a territory regardless of their numbers.

    Quote

    No one is systematically taking their land and cleansing them from it. 

    You're just in denial.

    Quote

    This is and has been my point, that you would sit here comparing it to what happened with Jews under Hitler shows how outrageously absurd your position is. 

    I didn't compare what's happening to the Palestinians to what the Nazis did to the Jews and the fact you think that's what I was doing just shows how bad your reading comprehension and logic skills are.

    Quote

    More insults doesn't make your argument any better. Of course the violence is isolated... otherwise it would be impacting vastly more people.

    I don't think you know what "isolated" means. These aren't discreet incidents, they are part of a broader systemic campaign.

    Quote

    You are taking settler disputes between Israelis and Palestinians and blowing them up to more than it is. Nothing you have provided shows that Palestinians would be "ethnically cleansed" in the next 10,000 years at whatever pace Israel expands Settlements. 

    Bullshit. There were less than 100,000 settlers in the early '90s, there's more than a half a million now and their numbers continue to increase. Again, do the math.

    To be fair here, I don't have much faith in your honesty here either, as you continually insist that Israel is engaged in ethnic cleansing as you are... so, instead of just calling you a troll or dumb, I keep picking apart your responses. 

    To be fair here your counter arguments are basically "nuh uh."

    Quote

    What goalposts did I move?

    You said this as though such a claim was made or as if that was a requirement for ethnic cleansing.

    Quote

    Israel destroyed literally every home in the West Bank and is trying to?! OMG! 

    This is akin to arguing that the holocaust wasn't genocide since the Nazis didn't kill every single Jew.

    Quote

    You are the one claiming this is ethnic cleansing, but keep pointing to such issues as settlement disputes, temporary displacements during wartime, and other such longstanding isolated violence that goes on between both Palestinians and Israelis. 

    Pointing out that these incidents are not ethnic cleansing is not me moving the goalpost; it is me pointing out you are nowhere near the goalpost you set. 

    There are no "temporary displacements" numbnuts, nor is the violence "isolated". There's a sustained and well-documented campaign to remove Palestinians from their land by force and you're response is to simply pretend it's not happening. You're beyond reach or reason.

    Quote

    Not wanting a Palestinian state is still just political squabbling, as most of the Palestinians don't want an Israel or the Jews there to exist at all... hence why they are where they are today, all their failed wars and violence. 

    You didn't read the interview I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    LOL, you are not insulting me, you are just calling me a troll or stupid! Oh... and then in the same response you literally insult me again:

    Then stop trolling or being dumb, IDK what to tell you.

    Quote

    Israel destroyed literally every home in the West Bank and is trying to?! OMG! 

    No, they did not. Your accusation is "ethnic cleansing" not that Israel is big meanie that destroyed some homes. 

    Lol look at you move the goalposts, you're really on your heels here.

    The displacement of the Palestinian population in the west bank and the destruction of their homes, farms, and other property is part of Israel's unofficial but obvious policy of ethnically cleansing the territory to make way for new Jewish  settlements. This is stated goal of the settler movement, as articulated by its leadership.

    Quote

    In Israel, there’s a lot of support for settlements, and this is why there have been right-wing governments for so many years. The world, especially the United States, thinks there is an option for a Palestinian state, and, if we continue to build communities, then we block the option for a Palestinian state. We want to close the option for a Palestinian state, and the world wants to leave the option open. It’s a very simple thing to understand.

    You're the one that put it into a post, is their an government official policy we can look at, or where do we look to verify your source...other than some settlers taking land and homes on their own accord...

    Again, why are you looking for a specific policy when you can see the actual policy in action? There's plenty of documentation of settlers attacking Palestinians and destroying their property while Israeli troops stand and watch.

    Quote

    Some smarter people than me and you have determined, that Israel is not a colonizer....there are many lengthy articles with in this source that have determined Israel is not a product of colonialism...Hard to be a colonizer when your people have been there thousands of years, and in most cases pre dating palestinians....

    The state of Israel was literally created by foreign powers by fiat, how is that not colonization?

    Insulting me is not an argument. 

    I'm not insulting you, i'm asking you if you're trolling or actually very stupid because there's no third option that I can see here.

    Quote

    The point here, again, is that there is not any Israel-directed policy to wipe out Palestinians from the West Bank. You point to an example of temporary displacement of a handful of communities during a war. 

    "Self-evacuate," "temporary displacement" man I don't love anything as much as you love your obfuscating euphemisms.

    Quote

     

    Guess what? Israel has had to temporarily displace many thousands of its people along the border with Gaza and Lebanon because of their hostile actions too. So, I guess Gaza and Lebanon are also engaged in ethnic cleansing of their own... 

    you are very dumb!

    This is talking about illegal Palestinian settlements that were built without permits that self evacuated due to violence and the IDF has ordered temporary exclusions on them to avoid further violence. 

    This is not ethnic cleansing. 

    No person could write this combination of words without being a troll or absolutely clueless so which one are you?

    As for the "permits" excuse, did you miss the part where Israel won't give Palestinian communities permits to build? I wonder why that is?

    So... there is no ethnic cleansing then, since Israeli settlements are not part of any policy designed to remove by violence or terror a civilian population. 

    Palestinians are still living in the West Bank, living life, and growing. 

    No they are getting kicked out of their homes and off their lands.

    West Bank: Israel Responsible for Rising Settler Violence
    Entire Palestinian Communities Displaced Months After Attacks

    Quote

     

    The Israeli military either took part in or did not protect Palestinians from violent settler attacks in the West Bank that have displaced people from 20 communities and have entirely uprooted at least 7 communities since October 7, 2023, Human Rights Watch said today.

    Israeli settlers have assaulted, tortured, and committed sexual violence against Palestinians, stolen their belongings and livestock, threatened to kill them if they did not leave permanently, and destroyed their homes and schools under the cover of the ongoing hostilities in Gaza. Many Palestinians, including entire communities, have fled their homes and lands. The military has not assured displaced residents that it will protect their security or allow them to return, forcing them to live in precarious conditions elsewhere.

  14. 19 hours ago, User said:

    If we go with your definition, it is "ethnic cleansing" if Israel evicts one Palestinian from their home for any reason. 

    No, no it's not.

    “… a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.”

    Quote

     

     mention the amount, because with what Israel is doing, there is no real path to ever achieving any kind of you know... "ethnic cleansing"

    So, if that outcome is not going to happen... how is it that you claim that is what is being done?

    Listen to yourself, you claim that it doesn't matter if the population is not reduced... so then how is it ethnic cleansing if nothing is being cleansed?

    Are you genuinely so stupid that you don't understand that removing expelling a group from a territory is ethnic cleansing even if not a single member of that group is killed?

    Quote

    You are the one ignoring the complexity behind the fact that Palestinians lost a war, and Israel's ongoing Settlement policies, which started with a concern with Security... you know, because the Palestinians and others keep trying to kill them. 

    Israel's settlement policies are based on Israel's desire to occupy the land currently occupied by Palestinians. Listen to what the people who are actually settling there have to say, they'll tell you it has nothing to do with security and everything to do with their crackpot belief that they are the rightful owner o f that land.

    Late Tuesday night, a large group of people attacked the anti-war encampment on the Westwood campus. They weren’t campus authorities acting on the university’s order that the camp was “unlawful,” but rather people who disagreed with the pro-Palestinian protesters and decided to clear the camp themselves. It turned ugly quickly.

    You being upset they aren't cooking up some baseless charges for these protesters is another data point in favour of my thesis.

    I was not equating them, I was comparing who might be doing the same thing. Speaking of asking if you can read, here you go again:

    "Yet, we all know if it were the Proud Boys camping out in the middle of a campus shutting things down and harassing black students, folks on the left would be screaming bloody murder, mobilizing the National Guard to beat them with rifles and drag them all away coming up with every charge in the book they could throw at them and then some. (See January 6th, See Targetting of Pro-Life demonstrators)"

    I clearly was pointing out the comparison to if the Proud Boys were doing the same thing as these Pro-Hamas protestors were doing... 

     

    Except the Gaza protesters aren't doing the things you say they are and the Proud Boys' record shows that peaceful protest is not their MO so your hypothetical isn't grounded in reality.

    But, since you asked, lets take a look at these campus protests in support of Hamas or otherwise blocking the roads.

    The people arrested on the Golden Gate Bridge will be charged by the San Francisco District Attorney's Office.

    Quote

    Palestinians are and have been living in the West Bank and Gaza for decades now and continue to grow. So again... maybe in 10,000 years at this pace there will be some ethnic cleansing, if a million other things all align on the way... 

    And there's nothing in the definition of ethnic cleansing about reducing the overall size of a given population either, but please continue to grasp at straws.

    Quote

    Your position is hyperbole at best, an gross exaggeration, over settlement policy, much of which started with security because again, they lost a war and Israel is not all to keen on having their borders so close again. I guess the Palestinians should have taken any number of the previous deals out there instead of insisting on little more than the destruction of Israel or a return to 1948 borders that will never happen.

    Again you're doing nothing here but betraying your own ignorance of Israel's policies and motivations here.
