I wish to criticize your claims. I will begin with something not very relevant but the 'stage 1' photo is simply incorrect. You need to remember that most of the land was nobodys because there was no Palestine or Israeli state. A full majority of the Palestine lived and still living in the WEST BANK and that was their territory.. the same for Israel. Where they lived is where their land was. Stage 1 should not be shown here.

Now I don't really understand what you are trying to say. The situation is much more complex than just (Israel won the war and got the land), The Palestines have chosen WAR in 1947. Now, this might be understandable but absolutely unacceptable. There is no legitimate explanation of why they declined the UN partition aside from arrogance and egoism.. You should not legitimize that. Explain me your points further please. Thank you.

Its hard to debate when having two completely different paradigms. The land was under Mandate of the Volkenbond after a Turkish Reign. The amount of people settling into the country before it was anyones land and before 1920 tells the story about zionism. It was the wish to go back to Zion, a wish the orthodox community then found repellend cause that should be reserved for after the coming of the Messiah. Anyway .... The war later was not about a jewish David against an arab goliath btw. Quite the opposite, despite the arab initiative. But is was however a prerequisite for much more!

I just read this by accident:

I have no issue with Jewish people and the Shoah was the most horrible event, but my heart does break by what has happened during decades to the people originally living in those lands. It has become a story of political spinning, oppressies and yes .... Propaganda. Israël has issues claiming the victims position when you take all of its history into account, not just a few recently chosen events.

Thats all. Leo Festinger - i even think he was a jewish psychologist - laid the foundation on peoples strategies to deal with info that 'does not compute' accordeons to the dominant mildset and reigning ideas. Cognitive dissonance theory, read about it plz, my friend.

Just check the Human Rights Watch report:

Respect to all. That is my wish ...

Isnt it better to agree to disagree?

I dont think you guys will find a middle ground any time soon...

You can agree to disagree about how good a shirt looks, or how good a football player is, but you certainly can't agree to disagree about a war that you are part of! :lol:

Exactly the contrary, there is a war going on and you think you will get anywhere by discussing on a football forum?

It was good 2-3 pages ago, now both sides are just repeating themselves over and over again. It is quite boring to read! :P

You don't get anywhere by discussing anything on a forum, it's kind of a feature of forums! :P

The discussion has been respectful and mostly rational (except that guy who was trying to turn it into something about religion). If it's boring, don't read it :P

That's a brilliant article. Hits the nail on the head on several key points:

"In order for colonialism and occupation to be successful, previous inhabitants of a region must be dehumanized, labeled savages, and finally, their very existence denied. Once this paradigm has been established, any and all acts of horror can be inflicted upon them without recourse. Thus, the stories of the oppressed become irrelevant."

"Zionism has convinced many Jews that they are preserving themselves. The common thought is that if the "savage" Palestinians stop resisting, stop shooting rockets, stop fighting Israel's inevitable domination, there can be peace."

:clap:

And never under estimate the part of corporate media propaganda to keep spinning their agenda :

''The recent blanket coverage afforded to the brutal killing of three Israeli teenagers highlights this immutable fact. Major broadcasters, such as BBC News, devoted headlines and extended reports to the deaths, and included heart-rending interviews with grieving relatives in Israel. The Guardian ran live coverage of the funerals for more than nine hours. But when has this ever happened for Palestinian victims of Israeli terror??

When has the BBC ever expressed this level of concern for the deaths of Palestinian teenagers? The question matters because consistent empathic bias has the effect of humanising Israelis for the public and dehumanising Palestinians. This is an extremely lethal form of media propaganda with real consequences for human suffering.'' This enforces the labels given above-savages, and generally making Palestinian deaths worth less than Israelis.

If you check out the U.S media, it is pretty much the same concept. They did the same against the Afganis and Iraqis. Even the returning troops who changed their views from pro war to anti war stated many times that they were dehumanizing them. Even creating their own racist words for them and always referring to them with those words.

The propaganda has always been their strongest weapon. How many people in the west know the history of Israel and Palestine? Most think that Hamas is the same as Al Qaeda and that the resistance are only some religious extremists when in fact, throughout most of the Arab world, the secular parties were the first to resist and the right wing religious parties were the traitors.

First off, I'm neither Pro-Isreal or Pro-Palestine.

I can say that I do. And are you saying HAMAS is secular? Have you heard of the TV show "Tomorrow's pioneers?" and the mass indoctrination that goes on in Palestine? The more and more you dig into it, the more you realize it has less to do with politics and more to do with religion. That's the bitter pill I had to swallow. The problem is that you speak of propaganda but the reality is that there is a great deal of propaganda from BOTH sides even more so from the Palestinian side. How is it possible to even discuss the issue when there is so much vested interest towards the Palestinians on your part.

Speaking of propaganda, a lot of those pictures circulating twitter are old photos of completely unrelated tragedies.

Rmpr, that's not fair. this discussion isn't hostile or anything. It might be on a football forum, but that doesn't mean the forum is limited to football. If it's 'boring' then don't read it?

I find this more educational than boring, seeing both point of views without members getting personal.
