Reply #155: you make up your own arguments...contradict yourself and then complain...

[pelsar]

but this one is funny as well as obvious:
The ultimate irony here, of course, is that no Israeli government has EVER tied the withdrawal of the IDF from the West Bank to any democratic gains there-so you are,

and then you write:

Using the rhetoric of "democracy" to justify continuing the Occupation puts sincere Palestinian democrats at political and physical risk. They cannot work for democracy if "democracy" is reduced to a code phrase for kowtowing to a foreign army.


here let me help you out...but read it slowly:
the only one who is taking about imposing democracy on the Palestinians is YOU, i never have, nor as you wrote truthfully has the israeli govt.

I dont lie about your view, i just bring them to their conclusions, and you don't like them:
Nothing in any of my positions contradicts that. I don't have to support delaying Palestinian independence(and preserving the inherently repressive and unjust status quo in the West Bank)to prove that. Stop lying about my views

you want an independent Palestinian state, even if it means they have a dictatorship as its government....personally i believe that is an anti democratic viewpoint and one cannot believe in democracy while promoting the creation facist dictatorship as you do (to use your logic)
