  • I can’t believe that the

    inaugural editor-in-chief of SAPIR: A Journal of Jewish Conversations

    who

    From 2002 to 2004… was editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post.

    and

    is known for his neoconservative foreign policy opinions

    and

    is a supporter of Israel

    could possibly write a propaganda piece to do damage to Palestinians.

    Imagine if his other literary masterpieces included things like

    Stephens called antisemitism “the disease of the Arab mind”

    a December 2019 column titled “The Secrets of Jewish Genius”,[41] in which he contended that Ashkenazi Jews have superior intelligence

    That would be totally crazy, right?!

    The quoted info is from the Wikipedia page about him. I’m not going to link it because you need to learn how to look things up.

    Edit: and NYT still publishing pro-Israel propaganda written by racists smdh




  • “Israel has not shared complete information to verify whether U.S. defense articles covered under NSM-20 were specifically used in actions that have been alleged as violations of IHL or IHRL in Gaza, or in the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the period of the report,” it said.

    Because of that, the administration said it still finds credible Israel’s assurances that it is using U.S. weapons in accordance with international law.

    The perpetrator didn’t tell us what happened so we find their written assurance of innocence still valid.








  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre,_Israel

    Before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War broke out, the Carmeli Brigade’s 21 Battalion commander had repeatedly damaged the Al-Kabri aqueduct that furnished Acre with water, and when Arab repairs managed to restore water supply, then resorted to pouring flasks of typhoid and dysentery bacteria into the aqueduct, as part of a biological warfare programme. At some time in late April or early May 1948, - Jewish forces had cut the town’s electricity supply responsible for pumping water - a typhoid epidemic broke out. Israeli officials later credited the facility with which they conquered the town in part to the effects of the demoralization induced by the epidemic.[50]

    Israel’s Carmeli forces attacked on May 16 and, after an ultimatum was delivered that, unless the inhabitants surrendered, ‘we will destroy you to the last man and utterly,’[51] the town notables signed an instrument of surrender on the night between 17–18 May 1948.

    No, war doesn’t count. Someone please tell Putin while we’re at it.


  • Alright, thanks. I took your advice and I think I found my answer in the 1948 Palestine war:

    During the war, the British withdrew from Palestine, Zionist forces conquered territory and established the State of Israel, and over 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled. It was the first war of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the broader Arab–Israeli conflict.



  • That still doesn’t answer the question. The second sentence in the Wikipedia article about the partition plan for Palestine is

    On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted the Plan as Resolution 181 (II).

    so I’m not really sure how you got the idea that this was “just a proposal”.

    The article you linked says

    The United States says an independent Palestinian state should be established through direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and not through UN action.

    which makes it even more unclear. Was Israel created through UN action or did they just steal the land and expel the Palestinians? Did they negotiate directly with the Palestinians in 1948 and arrive on the agreement to share the land according to the borders that existed before 1967?

    If you (or anyone) actually have an answer, I’d be happy to hear it.
