Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

Your answer to everything is that the Israelis are the ones who must capitulate

No it isn't. The very first post I made on this thread is that any US support of Palestinians be contingent on acknowledging Israel's right to exist and abandoning all terrorism and getting rid of the martyr fund and things like that. Is there something else you think I should be advocating for? No one argued with my point there, so I assume everyone agrees with that... meaning everyone agrees with Palestinian obligations here. The only point of disagreement is Israel's obligations.


I have no issue with any country keeping territory they gained after being attacked by 4 or 5 nations...considering how the United States was formed I would find it hypocritical for anybody who enjoys the fruits of that process to tell another country that they are not allowed to do so. I would have no issue with a 2 state system with the borders being where they ended up after the Arab-Israeli War and would expect either side to be dealt with if they violated that.

As I said 3 times now, I don't object to Israel keeping any territory either, but you have to make the people in the conquered territory citizens if you want my support and funding. I don't care what borders they pick... it just needs to be negotiated and accepted by everyone, otherwise no US support to any side.
