It seems to me that when your statements are considered as a combined argument you are basically stating Israel can treat all Palestinians as combatants.No?
Are you saying you're unwilling to admit that the overwhelming majority of Palestinian civilians support violent resistance and don't actually want peace?
Here is how I got there. Me: Hamas and Palestinians civilians are different and need to be divided b/t combatants and noncombatants. You: Palestian civilians support Hamas, Palestinian civilians aid and abet Hamas ....
I thnk you lack the courage to make the final statement out loud. Bibi and others have stated it so what is yoru hold up?
I believe a lot of Palestinians in gaza and the WB support hamas and other resistance. I've said it many times. Those of you who do not accept this are like the white slave owners who cant understand why the slaves revolted in teh US south adn killed women and kids.
I think its pretty clear that yo are like several others here who accept Palestinian civilians as fair game but are horrified to even consider Israeli civilians as fair game. Its like you clearly value lives differently.
Peace? Again I've stated this many times that its not possible until Israel is a true peace partner. Israel is a colonizing power with no interest in peace as it keeps accomplishing its goals through war. Tis will only change when the US stops its unconditional support for Israel. To be clear, this is not my thesis. Its a well argued thesis in The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy. Its a good book and there are a few good pods with theauthors.
