Israel's Legal Right To Exist

theliq, et al,

You are using generic allegations (theft, murder, and expulsion), not pinned to a particular event of period in time. The current ad hoc Government of Palestine is fractured and on the verge of being dysfunctional. The principle Factions now operating in [what has come to be called as the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt)] the territory occupied since 1967 (A/RES/43/177). The oPt has a mixture of rejectionist groups including (but not limited to) Islamic and secular movements:

theliq, et al,

Semantics is all you have......
(COMMENT)

"Semantics is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relationship between signifiers—like words, phrases, signs, and symbols—and what they stand for, their denotation."

Maybe that is part of what I have.

The Zionists only AIM was to try to eliminate Palestinians from Palestine Their the Palestinians Chosen Land......where they had been for thousands of years,you can say what you like Rocco,but we know what you did,how you did it and the stain of Guiltiness you will always carry......it will bite you in the future,all on the Mad sayings of an Athiest Zionist Jew............
(COMMENT)

I have know Idea what you are talking about.

Zionism is the Precurser to all Terrorism......Zionists are and always have been TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.......despite all your protestations, anyhow what makes you imagine Israels government are functional????
(COMMENT)

Zionism only arose in the mid-to-late 1800's. I'm sure that the use of "terrorism" as an instrument of power predates both political Zionism and cultural Zionism.

Israeli sovereignty covers a geographic area which is nearly three-quarters of the Israelis are Jewish (of which 75% are Sabra). The major characteristics ethnoreligious components to the population come from Muslims 17.6%; with the remainder (≈7.4%) consisting of Christians, Druze and others.

anyhow what makes you imagine Israels government are functional????
(COMMENT)

Of all the nations in or adjacent to the Levant, Israel is the most economic and commercially successful --- with the highest human development characteristics of any Arab League state.

They are a Right Wing Terrorist Government, that is why decent Jews are leaving Israel in hordes........
(COMMENT)

Well, Israel is not the most prosperous country in the world, but it is maintains a steady and sustainable growth rate.

Israel Population and Growth Rate.png


They have SEEN THE SUPPOSED DREAM .....AND DON'T LIKE IT ONE BIT........FACT...you and your Possee ramble on about how Great Israel is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..Being a Zionist is nothing to be Proud Of>>>>>>>>steve....
(COMMENT)

So, --- I suppose that the Arab Palestinians leaders offer a better way of life.

Think what you will of the Zionist of the 1906. The principle objective of Zionism was the reconstituting their national home and Jewish sovereignty in the Ottoman Territory of Palestine. Establishing a place of refugee for Jews from the antisemitic discrimination and persecution.

As a measure of success, you might compare the objective to the resulting outcome.

and why would I need to give you specific periods or time lines when this has been going on since 1906....
(COMMENT)

What "rights and title" did the Arabs of Ottoman Palestine have in 1906? (Rhetorical) The simple fact is that in 1906 all the territory of Ottoman Palestine was in the hands of Mehmed VI (the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire).

you are merely blurring my response to try to give yourself a superior angle....Fcuking does not work anymore Rocco,as I can see through you as if you were/are a sheet of plastic...........Shameful POST Rocco,I expect better from you...st
(COMMENT)

Think what you will of me --- tarnish what you can. I think I can withstand any attack you might mount against my character. But that does not diminish the content of the arguments I present.

• One plus One is Two. Truth --- in accordance with the facts and the reality of the time, is still Truth, no matter the evil which might speak it.

Yes, yes, --- one more time.

The oPt has a mixture of rejectionist groups including (but not limited to) Islamic and secular movements:
Indeed, they still reject the colonial project. Adopting General Assembly resolution 1514 would solve this problem. This isn't rocket science.
(COMMENT)

OK, everyone ready this closely.

UN Committee of 24 (Special Committee on Decolonization) said:
The Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence of Colonial Countries and Peoples (also known as the Special Committee on decolonization or C-24), the United Nations entity exclusively devoted to the issue of decolonization, was established in 1961 by the General Assembly with the purpose of monitoring the implementation of the Declaration (General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960).
You will note that there is no reference to any such Middle Eastern territory (including Palestine, Gaza, West Bank, Jerusalem) requiring "Decolonization" listed on the Table of Non-Self-Governing Territories (NSGTs).

You are absolutely correct. You are passing along the demands. The Arab Palestinians are simple terrorist blackmailers that hold peace and regional stability hostage for ransom (that which they failed to achieve through diplomacy and statesmanship).

So? That is based on politics not legalities. This says different.

That is an interpretation that you want; otherwise the justification and legitimacy of the Arab Palestine Jihadism, Deadly Fedayeen Action, Hostile Insurgency Operations, Radicalized Islamic Behaviors, and Asymmetric Violence fades away into lawlessness.

No non-binding Resolution may supersede binding Treaty Law.
There is a partial truth to that. However, a resolution that is based on relevant international law defines the applicability of existing law. Even if the resolution itself is non binding the referenced international law is binding.
(COMMENT)

I contend that many Arab Palestinian leaders violate the purposes and principles of the United Nations, that States have the duty to refrain from propaganda for wars of aggression.

Every State has the duty to refrain from organizing, instigating, assisting or participating in acts of civil strife or terrorist acts in another State or acquiescing in organized activities within its territory directed towards the commission of such acts, when the acts referred to in the present paragraph involve a threat or use of force.

Every State shall settle its international disputes with other States by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered.

States shall accordingly seek early and just settlement of their international disputes by negotiation, inquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, resort to regional agencies or arrangements or other peaceful means of their choice. In seeking such a settlement the parties shall agree upon such peaceful means as may be appropriate to the circumstances and nature of the dispute

Every State has the duty to refrain from the threat or use of force to violate the existing international boundaries of another State or as a means of solving international disputes, including territorial disputes and problems concerning frontiers of States.

Trying to persuade the discussion group that some "non-binding" resolution, --- for which further interpretation is required, --- gives Carte Blanche to disregard the basic tenants of international law is absolutely absurd.

Is colonization an international dispute?

Just curious.

Not in the case involving the establishment of the state of Israel.

How would you describe the Arab-islamist invasion and colonization of the area described as Pal'istan. You choose to sidestep around that issue.
 
P F Tinmore, et al,

Yes --- As I said: Your interpretation of the International Laws must be so, otherwise the Arab Palestinians lose thier legitimacy. So they MUST TWIST the law in order to achieve the illusion of legitimacy.

(COMMENT)

This is an example as to why, Israel must hold its position. The Arab Palestinian "Right TO" self-determination, and national independence was exercised in 1988 and acknowledged (A/RES/43/177).

On the issue of territorial integrity, the Palestinians made no effort to form a treaty with the Israelis.

On the issue of national unity. "The Palestinians formed a Unity Government. The Palestinian Unity Government of June 2014 was a national unity government from 2 June 2014 to 17 June 2015 under Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas." It is not Israels fault that the Arab Palestinian cannot manage a government.

Palestinian unity government resigns - Al Jazeera English

The Palestinian unity government formed only a year ago has resigned after President Mahmoud Abbas said it was unable to operate in the Gaza Strip.

The resignation came after it emerged that the Gaza Strip's rulers Hamas held separate indirect talks with Israel.​

On the matter of sovereignty: Where is Arab Palestinian Sovereignty. The "Right TO" is very different from the "Gift OF." If the Arab Palestinians cannot hold their own government together, then what chance to they have that their government will be able to establish some "sovereignty?"

What's absurd is your assertion that occupied people do not have a right to resist occupation through force of arms if necessary.

It would seem that it is considered "international" by the UN.

"Considering that the denial of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian
people to self-determination, sovereignty, independence and return to
Palestine and the repeated acts of aggression by Israel against the peoples of
the region constitute a serious threat to international peace and security,"

Vanity Fair​
has obtained confidential documents, since corroborated by sources in the U.S. and Palestine, which lay bare a covert initiative, approved by Bush and implemented by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams, to provoke a Palestinian civil war. The plan was for forces led by Dahlan, and armed with new weapons supplied at America’s behest, to give Fatah the muscle it needed to remove the democratically elected Hamas-led government from power.
