Israel has been ethnic cleansing Palestinians since before day one and that continues today.RE: Palestine Today
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
And what point are you trying to expound upon here? Neither of these areabout "Palestine Today" but rather, the different opinions held on the
• Israel is defending itself.
• Ethnic cleansing is not self-defense.(COMMENT)
This first one is an example of a bumper sticker conflict.
When most people attempt to pit these two concepts against one another (ethnic cleansing 'vs' self-defense), any deep examinations shows that it rapidly becomes political.
Israel did not ethnically cleanse is used by pro-Palestinian Advocates without any clear definition of what acts constituted ethnic cleansing or what specific provisions of international humanitarian law and human rights were being violated. But clearly, Israel is many times more culturally diverse than either the West Bank or Gaza Strip.
Without a very clear intention to destroy an ethnic group → and not merely neutralize dangerous aspects/members of that group, that being the Arab Palestinian (specific examples required.). What is so very clear is that ethnic cleansing does not amount to genocide.
I think this pro-Palestinian position, is merely shadow boxing.
There is no question that the continued control and even expansion or control, by the Israelis, is a clear activity addressing a military action in response to an armed attack by the Arab Palestinian, dependent upon the key concepts of necessity.
(COMMENT)
This is actually an event that celebrates the concept of → "they got their day in court" and that the law was not biased or prejudicial against BDS.
It really means that the Prosecutor did not build a good case which exposes what the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Movement is all about.
