274. There's nothing moral about the Occupation, and no-one who opposed it would claim it was...
A stance like yrs is supporting an unending Occupation, because there will never be a time those like you would think there wouldn't be war and casualties. Constructing a brick wall of 'what if's' is a clumsy and intellectually dishonest way of hoping the Occupation never ends...

You should know by now that just because an article says something it doesn't make it hard, cold fact. A state is something where the people living within it's boundaries (and note there were no boundaries of a state being set) control their own destinies, have their own defence forces and where foreign occupiers do not get to continue building settlements for the people of the occupying power. What was being offered was limited autonomy all under the control of Israel...

I find it kind of ironic and just a bit hypocritical that someone who sees no problems at all in posting articles from a blatant Islamophobe like Barry Rubin and admires him would rush to try to shoot the messenger when it comes to articles she doesn't like. Also, boycotting Israel does NOT make someone a bigot, and this sort of thing is where you lose all credibility when it comes to speaking about antisemitism.
