Actually to the extent that said Jews occupy Palestinian land, and inflict collective-punishment on Arab/Palestinians they do indeed enjoy a legal right of resistance...the occupation thus inheres collective-punishment thereby justifying violent retaliation.
The international community has made it clear that virtually the entire world considers the Israeli occupied territories to be illegal and contrary to the principles of international law. Every year since 1967 (up until the Oslo Process started), the UN General Assembly passed the same resolution (always with lopsided votes like 150-2), stating that Israel is obligated to vacate the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, in accordance with UN Resolution 242.
The only reason that Israel is able to maintain its occupation of Palestinian land is that the U.S. routinely vetoes every Security Council resolution that would insist that Israel live up to its obligations under international law.
1. International law is not a popularity contest nor is it subject to a vote. Therefore the logical fallacy argumentum ad populum will be automatically dismissed by me.
2. Neither the "international community" nor the UN has the right to create or establish borders. That can ONLY happen by treaty between the parties involved.
3. The 1949 Armistice lines are not borders. Thus, there is no such thing as "67 borders". And anything that discusses "1967 anything" can be dismissed as a failure of the poster to understand international law. Israel is under no obligation to vacate territory on the far side of the Green line without a peace treaty in place after negotiations, which is fully in accordance to all actual international law. Don't forget 242 also requires safe and secure borders.
4. Oslo exists. It happened. It is a treaty (read: international law) between the State of Israel and the legal representatives of the Arab Palestinians. You intentionally neglected to discuss Areas A, B and C in the context of that legal agreement. You are trying to ignore the Oslo Accords (international law).
5. Let's break this down:
- Arab Palestinians have no right to "resist" in Areas A and B, because they are under Arab Palestinian authority. There is nothing to resist. They have achieved authority over those areas. They have the right to self-defense IF and only IF Israel makes an unprovoked armed attack on Areas A and B - something Israel has never done.
- Arab Palestinians have no right to "resist" in Gaza, because it is under Arab Palestinian authority. There is nothing to resist. They have achieved authority over that area. They have the right to self-defense IF and only IF Israel makes an unprovoked armed attack on Gaza -- something Israel has never done.
- Arab Palestinians have no right to "resist" in Area C because Area C is -- by treaty (international law) -- under the control of Israel until a peace treaty is negotiated between the two parties.
- Arab Palestinians have no right to "resist" in the sovereign territory of Israel -- the sovereignty of which you recognize in your response to my direct question above.
- Any "resistance" in the sovereign territory of Israel is an armed attack against Israel which falls under the Article 51 provision you claimed in your posts against which Israel is entitled to defend herself and her citizens.
- Any "resistance" in Area C under Israeli control is an armed attack against Israel which falls under the Article 51 provision you claimed in your posts against which Israel is entitled to defend herself and her citizens.
- Any "resistance" from Gaza or Areas A and B is a violation of the peace treaty between Israel and the provisional government of Palestine and therefore also falls under the Article 51 provision you claimed in your posts against which Israel is entitled to defend herself and her citizens.
The correct way forward for the Arab Palestinians is to follow the intent of the UN Charter which is to establish peaceful, negotiated solutions to conflicts.
Shusha:
1. International law is not a popularity contest nor is it subject to a vote. Therefore the logical fallacy argumentum ad populum will be automatically dismissed by me.
( YOU dare to reference international law? Israel literally spits on IL...YOU ARE RUNNING CIRCLES AGAIN )
2. Neither the "international community" nor the UN has the right to create or establish borders. That can ONLY happen by treaty between the parties involved.
( LOL...and the act of ethnic-cleansing should be admissible in establishing borders? Do you have any faint clue princess? )
3. The 1949 Armistice lines are not borders. Thus, there is no such thing as "67 borders". And anything that discusses "1967 anything" can be dismissed as a failure of the poster to understand international law. Israel is under no obligation to vacate territory on the far side of the Green line without a peace treaty in place after negotiations, which is fully in accordance to all actual international law. Don't forget 242 also requires safe and secure borders.
( Sorry again princess but the international consensus on borders is framed around the 67 lines...nothing the Israelis have done since 48 is in accordance with international law...you are quite clueless...but then again you are clearly paraphrasing hasbara )
4. Oslo exists. It happened. It is a treaty (read: international law) between the State of Israel and the legal representatives of the Arab Palestinians. You intentionally neglected to discuss Areas A, B and C in the context of that legal agreement. You are trying to ignore the Oslo Accords (international law).
( Oslo is a farce...the present situation and Israel's continuing land theft render Oslo irrelevant )
5. Let's break this down:
( wrong again princess...to the extent that the UN---under western political pressure---recognized a state formed under ethnic-cleansing the piratical Jews have zero rights )
- Arab Palestinians have no right to "resist" in Areas A and B, because they are under Arab Palestinian authority. There is nothing to resist. They have achieved authority over those areas. They have the right to self-defense IF and only IF Israel makes an unprovoked armed attack on Areas A and B - something Israel has never done.
( wrong once more princess...the IDF is an criminal occupier )
- Arab Palestinians have no right to "resist" in Gaza, because it is under Arab Palestinian authority. There is nothing to resist. They have achieved authority over that area. They have the right to self-defense IF and only IF Israel makes an unprovoked armed attack on Gaza -- something Israel has never done.
( Wrong yet again for exactly the same reasons )
- Arab Palestinians have no right to "resist" in Area C because Area C is -- by treaty (international law) -- under the control of Israel until a peace treaty is negotiated between the two parties.
Wrong...apparently you are confused about the proposed sovereignty of a criminal occupier )
- Arab Palestinians have no right to "resist" in the sovereign territory of Israel -- the sovereignty of which you recognize in your response to my direct question above.
( On no---wrong again...51 applies in favor of Palestinian legal resistance as has been explained four or five times...let me know when it registers )
- Any "resistance" in the sovereign territory of Israel is an armed attack against Israel which falls under the Article 51 provision you claimed in your posts against which Israel is entitled to defend herself and her citizens.
( Wrong yet again for the very same reasons )
- Any "resistance" in Area C under Israeli control is an armed attack against Israel which falls under the Article 51 provision you claimed in your posts against which Israel is entitled to defend herself and her citizens.
( wrong yet again...what a dizzying number of errors...please seek out someone better educated to explain 'criminal occupation' to you...preferably in monosyllables...)
- Any "resistance" from Gaza or Areas A and B is a violation of the peace treaty between Israel and the provisional government of Palestine and therefore also falls under the Article 51 provision you claimed in your posts against which Israel is entitled to defend herself and her citizens.
The correct way forward for the Arab Palestinians is to follow the intent of the UN Charter which is to establish peaceful, negotiated solutions to conflicts.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If we follow the charter in letter and spirit Israel is nothing but culpable for its crimes...the UN charter is Israel's worst enemy...you cannot be this profoundly clueless...)
You need to make up your mind. According to the DIRECT question I asked you ALL territory on the one side of the Green Line is sovereign Israeli territory and the only "occupied" territory is that on the other side. Are you withdrawing that claim?
If you are NOT withdrawing that claim all actions within Israel's territory are off limits for legal Arab "resistance", even according to your own warped belief system. Therefore, any action which interferes with Israel's sovereignty or the safety of her citizens on her side of the Green Line is an attack from which she is entitled to defend herself.
