Let Israel Strike a Death Blow Against Hamas

So

are you supporting war crimes and genocide?

Perhaps this could clear

up some issues. The link is below:

Quoting Chomsky to prove your point?

You are quoting Noam Chomsky to prove your point on Townhall? Have you looked at Townhall?

Israel has not committed war crimes or genocide.

If Israel wanted to commit genocide it is doing a pretty ineffective job for a major military power.

I am not advocating war crimes and genocide.

There is already a country in the region that has a 2/3 "Palestinian" majority. That nation is Jordan. Palestinians and Gazans should be encouraged to relocate there.

Moshe

Even before this year, an Israeli general had to stay on a plane in GB in order to avoid being arrested for war crimes.

In fact, the whole invasion of Gaza was out of self-defense when attacks were provoked, as they have been for decades for an illegal occupation. And Israel's deliberately obliviousness to their own crimes is illustrated by your suggestion that you relocate the Palestinians in Jordan. Here are people who, for generations, lived on the land. In comes Europeans claiming to have historical rights to the land and thus the Palestinians are counted as criminals if they do not agree and if they think they have rights.

It is often said that Israel is the only democracy in the region, not true anyway, but what is ignored is that it is counted as an ethnic democracy, or "ethnocracy" as labeled by Jeff Halper, which is far different than American democracy.

Finally, are you suggesting that because this is townhall, we can assume by apriori reasoning that what Chomsky said is wrong?

Context of Land for peace

The land you are referring was both allocated to and inhabited by Palestinians. So there is something wrong with returning what was originally theirs? If so, the implication is that Israel, since it cannot afford land for peace, must ethnically cleanse the land of Arabs. Is ethnic cleansing what you want to associate with Israel?
