GostHacked Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 What a joke. There is no word in Arabic that directly translates to "occupation". But hey Big Dog knew that. Arabic has no direct word that refers to owning land and never did. The word in Arabic closest to it would not mean occupied as we say it in English but "someone is living there". To translate the word into English from Arabic to get "occupied" in the legal sense Big Guy wants would not happen. To come to his conclusion one needs to interpret not translate-literally to take the actual meaning and reinvent it to suit the political agenda Al Jazeera wanted. In the sense it was used and is being deliberately distorted, it means-"ruling authority". These posts get more nonsensical by the minute. But hey to Big Guy all one needs to do is read Al Jazeera to get the only version of truth in the Middle East. So it's not an occupation?
Big Guy Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 It appears that the Israeli government is changing their approach to protests: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/israel-passes-minimum-sentence-stone-throwers-151103141454182.html The government has just passed a new law that permits the government to strip those convicted of stone throwing of their state benefits. In effect, the move will further entrench Israeli civil law in occupied East Jerusalem. Palestinians in the rest of the occupied West Bank, however, are subject to Israeli military law. The law also enables Israel to cancel national health insurance and other social programmes for the parents of an imprisoned minor. Perhaps they should spend more time addressing the reason why these children are protesting. And we want Canada being associated with this kind of suppression? Time for Canada to end any support for Israel occupation and officially condemn that kind of behaviour at the UN. Perhaps the Trudeau leadership has the conscience to do that and declare our protest of this behaviour to the world.

Thankfully, in Gaza, the more enlightened Palestinian leadership doesn't bother with such trifles as benefits. If you throw stones at their people they shoot you dead on the spot. I know that doesn't matter to you, of course. There's one standard for the Arab, and a different, far higher standard for the Jew. http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/07/29/report-hamas-killed-20-palestinian-anti-war-protestors-in-gaza/ Edited November 3, 2015 by Argus "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Big Guy Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 Netanyahu continues to alienate other world leaders and thumb his nose at the USA and moderates in Israel: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/israelis-decry-netanyahu-choice-media-spokesman-151105162123118.html Netanyahu continues to go rogue by separating Israel fro the rest of the world.

bush_cheney2004 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 The West does not keep looking the other way...the West keeps supporting Israel with trade, arms sales, investment, tourism, and military liaison. Economics trumps Virtue.
Big Guy Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 With world attention focussed on Paris, what will Netanyahu pull? In the past he has used the opportunity to grab more land or wipe out more Palestinians in Gaza. Any predictions?

Big Guy Posted November 17, 2015 Report Posted November 17, 2015 That didn't take long. With everybody looking at Paris the Israelis keep doing their "thing". http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/israeli-forces-kill-palestinians-qalandiya-151116091413833.html Qalandiya, occupied West Bank - Two Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli security forces after a gun battle in the Qalandiya refugee camp just before dawn on Monday morning. The victims were identified as Ahmed Abu al-Eish, 28, and Laith Manasra, 21. A third was reportedly in critical condition.Dozens more were injured, some seriously, after hundreds of Israeli soldiers and special forces raided the camp, just north of Jerusalem, at around 2am. They demolished the home of Muhammed Abu Shaheen, currently imprisoned in an Israeli jail for his alleged role in a July shooting attack that killed an Israeli settler. The gun battle between members of the Fatah-affiliated Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and Israeli forces went on for at least an hour. Israeli sources said none of their soldiers were wounded. With most folks still focussed on Paris there will be more to come from Netanyahu.

Big Guy Posted November 19, 2015 Report Posted November 19, 2015 The NRA will be happy to hear that Netanyahu agrees with their philosophy. He is arming and encouraging Israelis to carry guns: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/israel-gun-policy-licence-kill-palestinians-151119080409657.html The small problem is that it is virtually impossible for a Palestinian to get a gun license. So when Palestinians throw rocks, Israelis shoot. Time for Canada to break all ties with this country that treats and hunts other humans like animals.

Argus Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) That didn't take long. With everybody looking at Paris the Israelis keep doing their "thing". I note a lack of concern that Palestinians are continuing to 'do their thing' by attacking Israeli civilians at every opportunity. But then, they are just Jews. A Palestinian teenager stabbed four people, including a 13-year-old girl, in the southern city of Kiryat Gat on Saturday evening. The 18-year-old attacker managed to flee the scene, but was caught several hours later after a massive manhunt. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4728871,00.html Two female Palestinian teens stabbed a man near a central outdoor market in Jerusalem with scissors on Monday. The victim was identified by the police as an elderly Palestinian man. Another man was wounded while trying to stop the attack. http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Israeli-seriously-wounded-in-West-Bank-terror-stabbing-434942 A Palestinian terrorist stabbed and killed Hadar Buchris, 21, as she stood at a bus stop at the Gush Etzion junction in the West Bank on Sunday afternoon.

Big Guy Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 And the land grab continues: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/israel-displace-palestinian-bedouins-151124153132838.html Israel plans to displace thousands of Palestinian Bedouins. This plan allows for the construction of five new Jewish-only communities, two of which are on lands of Bedouin villages. Palestinians have protested for years against Israel's displacement of Bedouin villagers in the Negev region. Approved by the Israeli government on Sunday, the plan allows for the construction of five new Jewish planned communities, two of which will be on top of a pair of Bedouin villages. As the rest of the world looks at Paris the Israelis look to steal more land from the Palestinians. Time for Canada to wipe our hands of Israel.

GostHacked Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Yaalon-Israel-intends-to-build-security-fence-between-Hebron-Kiryat-Gat-435378 Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon informed the Knesset on Wednesday evening that the security establishment intends to construct a security fence, separating the West Bank city of Hebron and the southern Israeli city of Kiryat Gat.Ya'alon's remarks came in response to a motion filed by Likud MK Mickey Zohar in light of multiple Palestinian assistants having reached the Lakhish Regional Council and carried out terror attacks in recent months. "We are aware of the issue of the fence, and now with the budgetary approval for the massive fence we plan to build one similar to the border fence with Egypt - it will take some time but it will happen," the defense minister vowed. Even with all the control Israel claims to have, cannot stop terrorist attacks. Large long walls, security checkpoints, segregated paths, one for Jews, one for 'other', even in the occupied territories. More walls should do the trick.... I guess.
jbg Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Stop trying to pass the buck by dancing around the main culprit: Israel. They are the ones who have been occupying the Palestinians for decades. They are the ones who are annexing their land. They are the ones who are violating their human rights and breaking international law against the Palestinians.What a whopper. Israel is by no means the worst or most villainous country in the world. In fact it is quite decent considering the neighborhood it inhabits. The Arab neighbors have had plenty of opportunities to have a constructive relationship with Israel, where they could benefit from both Israel's seacoast and its know-how. Instead, they chose rejectionism, war, terror, and strife. They murdered Anwar Sadat, who tried to pursue a constructive path. Israel is not perfect. It wants to exist in peace as a Jewish state. It will continue to exist as a Jewish state. I doubt that the neighbors will ever allow peace. This will not end well for those primitive neighbors.

It's interesting that you're comparing Israel to terrorists in Paris and terrorists who fly planes into buildings. You're setting the bar pretty low. "What do you think of Western civilization?" Gandhi was asked. "I think it would be a good idea," he said.
Big Guy Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I do not recollect reading anywhere that Palestinians consider themselves as "God's chosen people".
