bush_cheney2004 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 ....All Israelis will suffer the consequences of international revulsion at the acts of the Israeli government and military. That's just reality. . False...many Israelis won't suffer at all. That's the idea. Some don't even live in Israel, but return to serve in the IDF. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Black Dog Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 This actually makes my point for me....yada...yada...yada. Aw, poor trollbot. It's ok: you still have Canadian immigration to the U.S. or some other unrelated factoid to fall back on. I'd avoid the anecdote about your admiration for Nazi war criminals though, might not be the right topic for that one. Quote

jbg Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 A state whose security is controlled by another is not independent. It's just that simple. Japan? Germany? Italy? Are these not independent countries? Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

jbg Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Dog - Look at the murderous facts and stop supporting murder and pretending murderers shouldn't be driven out of the human race, racist scum, as they are.! Sorry, the Jews are not going away. Despite the best efforts of your ilk over millenia, we are not about to be driven out of the human race.

Bonam Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 You appear to have an exceptional insight into this issue - and I mean that as a compliment. What is your opinion of the JDL? They make no secret that their mandate is to; ""protect Jews from anti-Semitism by whatever means necessary". Sounds to me like the end will justify the means. Would you consider this group to be ; nationalists or zealots or Zionists or terrorists or thugs or ... What percentage of the Jewish population of Israel do you think they represent? The group, at it's peak, had 15,000 members. If one assumes these were all Jewish, then it represented approximately one in a thousand Jews. Quote

TimG Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Do they allow others to control their borders and airspace?I think the point was for decades after WW2 both of these countries had a foreign military present in order to "ensure security". Why wouldn't a similar arrangement work for Palestine in the decade after a 2-state solution? Edited July 30, 2014 by TimG Quote

Why wouldn't a similar arrangement work for Palestine in the decade after a 2-state solution? Are you talking about military occupation? Because clearly a country under military occupation is not a sovereign state. Now if you are talking about the period after the end of the formal occupation, the analogy still doesn't hold up as all the countries had their own armed forces and were ultimately in control of their own borders and airspace, even if they worked in partnership with other nations on security issues.

jbg Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Do they allow others to control their borders and airspace?I believe that NATO forces (read the U.S. and Britain) effectively control their airspace. Japan, for sure. Are you talking about military occupation? Because clearly a country under military occupation is not a sovereign state. Now if you are talking about the period after the end of the formal occupation, the analogy still doesn't hold up as all the countries had their own armed forces and were ultimately in control of their own borders and airspace, even if they worked in partnership with other nations on security issues. I believe that if any of those countries wanted to resume an Axis-type alliance against the West the U.S.'s presence would not be much of a "partnership." In effect the U.S. is occupying those countries. Now closer to home Canada controls the airspace and military access to Angle Country (link explaining Angle Country) and Point Roberts (link explaining Point Roberts).

There isnt going to be any two state solution, but if there ever was the presense of some kind of force to stop them from poking at each other would be essential. Sorta like an adult supervising two retarded belligerent children that are fighting over space in a sandbox. They would have their work cut out for them though because these particular children are EXTRA retarded and EXTRA belligerent and the sandbox is a piece of crap.

My understanding is that in all cases such as Japan's there is an evolution but the U.S. and NATO (in the case of Europe) play a dominant role. Your cite is a link to a paywall-protected article. For what it's worth, Japan's military is limited in how it can operate, but the U.S. doesn't get a say. Germany has similar constitutional limitations, but, again, they dictate their own defense policy and have since re-unification. Cite? See article 7. Not fatuous at all.

Argus Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Two major differences. Japan and Germany did not take 60 years. The occupier does not want to relinquish the land. Japan and Germany didn't spend the entire time desperately trying to kill Americans either. Instead they cooperated to rebuild and modernize their countries. D'you think maybe that might account for 'the occupier' being reluctant to grant them the right to build up their own army?
