Present your evidence in support of ^this^ claim. What part of the negotiations and implementation of the Oslo Accords indicates Palestinian participation was a sham?
Where's a reasonable Palestinian proposal?
Jews lived side by side with Christians and Muslims under Ottoman Rule. Unlike you, I don't think the European Jews are too stupid to figure out how it's done.
I already showed what that "side-by-side" was like--and nobody replied. Repeating, not that you're going to pay any attention: https://books.google.com/books?id=-BpeAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA5#v=onepage&q&f=false
Perhaps people missed it. I know I did. But now that I see you have linked to an actual source, albeit a skimpy one from 1857, I'll check it out.
The 1857 is actually quite relevant--long before the current propaganda war and a contemporary account of the situation. Look at the third paragraph, it describes the "coexistence" you want.
I presume you also think Jim Crow was proper treatment of blacks? Or are blacks people but Jews not?
Of course not.
Honestly Loren, it's like you never actually read any of my posts these past 16 years, you just made strawman arguments and pretended that's what I said.
If you can't read what I post with comprehension, stop quoting me.
Read that book! I'm talking about the reality of what you're asking for, not your fantasy of how it would turn out.
I am anti-pogrom. I am against ethnic cleansing. I oppose human rights abuses. If you can't recognize that after all these years, then you're either amazingly dense or incredibly dishonest.
But you are in willful denial of the abuses that will happen if you get your way.
That first one is unsupported, but even if you had carefully documented it, it still would change the fact that if the land in question was stolen, it doesn't really belong to those who did the stealing.
More Jews fled than Palestinians, and most of the Palestinians that fled took most everything that wasn't nailed down, the Jews that fled generally left with little. Furthermore, the Jews that fled were persecuted simply for being Jewish, the Palestinians were not allowed to return because they sided with the enemy.
The second one is both unsupported and contradictory, and it doesn't refute the point that if the land was stolen, it doesn't really belong to those who did the stealing. Just because people fled for their lives when Irgun terrorists attacked their town doesn't mean they gave their property away or that not allowing them to go back to their homes is justified.
But you want "East Jerusalem" to go to the Palestinians. It's simply the part of Jerusalem that was seized and ethnically cleansed by Jordan.
Do you consider Jews to be people?
Indeed I do. But I'm not surprised you're confused. Not since that time you accused me of denying the humanity of Jews because I was talking about respecting everyone's human rights.
You do not seem to feel they have any of the rights of people. You talk about respecting everyone's rights but you keep making proposals that will at a minimum result in the extirpation of the Jews from Israel.
That's your racism, fear, and bigotry talking. I don't share your view that human rights can only be held by one group of human beings at a time, or that upholding the Rights of one group justifies violating the Rights of another. In fact, I think your view is horseshit.
No, it's your bigotry talking, thinking that the Palestinians are angels that won't carry out the genocide they have spent decades saying they want to carry out. You pretend to respect the rights of Jews but continually ask for them to be put in mortal danger.
