Israel/Palestine

(12,283 posts)I'll give you example...the most obvious of your subtle movement of the goalposts:
you first started with the water and had two points: the acquirer in the jordan valley and the swimming pools in the west bank
the non existent swimming pools went away.
the water in the jordan valley became important, not just because it was water but because it was good place for development and for the growing population, as per your posts.
with the knowledge of the building of the salt desalination plants and the fact that israelis are not interested in living in the hot dry jordan valley, you massaged it to be cheap housing in the west bank near the Barkan factories and no longer about water, nor the jordan valley
i believe that is a better summary
and the removal of the settlers?....try looking and look very very hard, you'll never find a single post where i advocated removing of the blocs...look back for years. What you will find are assumptions like Ken, who "fill in what i don't say" to satisfy their own arguments. I just let him and others go on an on wondering if they are ever going to ask (they never do,you never did).
the water pipe was one of my favorites (did some looking later, you weren't involved) but it reminded me too much about how israel "owned" the gaza/egyptian border after pulling out and hamas and egypt were busy arguing with each other when to open and close and even shot at each other.....hence my mix up.
those are my two favorite demonizations about israel-evidence and history, physical facts having no relevance what so ever...and i got mixed up (I"ve been here too long)

and gaza? what mistakes were made and by whom? Hamas probably disagrees with you that mistakes were made, the PA might agree with you that they made some mistakes. But if you insisting that mistakes were made and you believe israel should pull out of the west bank, then the question is what exactly should be different so those "mistakes" wont happen in the west bank?
