I'm sorry for the DM link. I want to know what is meant by Israel 'ceasing responsibility for life' means though. I don't understand.

No it’s just a threat exposing your true nature and that of “your side”. the side of apartheid and genocide.

Ok, none of this shows that “Until 1948, the word "Palestinian" applied exclusively to the Jewish inhabitants of the area”

All these show is that the Jewish people in the area were referred to as Palestinians. It doesn’t show exclusion of people who were also in the area but were Christians, Muslims, and other religions from being referred to as Palestinians.

One newspaper, one orchestra and one company that is all you have linked. The newspaper- the Palestine Post was referring to a region, the mandate, not Jewish people as its readers were mostly British soldiers and German immigrants according to Wiki.

Umm, excuse me? Kinda rude.

No, you see I'm not from Hebron. My grandparents were. They were ethnically cleansed from the city in 1929. By Arabs.

There is a thread on this that starts with the Amnesty International’s report on Israel’s Water Occupation.

Ah ok, so in exchange you ethnically cleansed back? You’ve also upped the stakes with the apartheid and current genocide, I’ve got to hand it you. Bravo 👏🏼

Take a look at the water occupation thread. Due to a 1967 military order, Israel controls all water sources in the Palestinian Occupied Territories, so West Bank isn’t even allowed to control its own water. Which is why much of it is being redirected to Israeli settlements at the expense of Palestinian villages.

Ah ok, so in exchange you ethnically cleansed back? You’ve also upped the stakes with the apartheid and current genocide, I’ve got to hand it you. Bravo

Who is the "you" here? We keep being told, correctly, that Palestinians/Gazans are not synonymous with Hamas so why are you doing that in reverse?
Your personal attacks are actually quite disturbing, however I won't report them as I think it's good that people see what's being said.

Please don’t use personal attacks. Meshigenus has been great to discuss different viewpoints with. If you can’t discuss civilly, please leave the thread.

You Really should apologise to @Meshigenus for that, @Desertrose2023.

Uncalled for.

The poster you are defending stated that her “side” had better weapons and wasn’t afraid to use them and that my side was going to suffer more. I think it’s fairly clear what they are synonymous with.

That’s a pretty personal attack in my view and unnecessary threatening.

@Desertrose2023, what @SomeCatFromJapan quoted was your comments to @Meshigenus who didn't say what you just accused them of.

Another thing you should apologise for.

The poster you are defending stated that her “side” had better weapons and wasn’t afraid to use them and that my side was going to suffer more. I think it’s fairly clear what they are synonymous with.

It was in context within a discussion about a possible armed conflict with Hezbollah, and in response to what you had said.

Wasn’t that massacre of the helpless, unarmed Jewish community in Hebron part of the larger 1929 Palestine Riots over Temple Mont and the Wall? I think it left what, around 150 dead on both sides?

I’m glad your grandparents survived. As I’ve said on other threads, all the fears of safety for Jewish, Muslim and Christian communities there are all valid and based in actual massacres.

I'm sorry. However much this is tribal on a thread like this but as an israeli I do not agree with you. That's an awful thing to say. Innocent people are being hurt here and this whole thing has the potential to ignite the whole region.

It wasn't even Meshigenus who said anyway.

Because the Arabs thought of themselves as first and foremost as Arabs, not as Palestinians.

The idea of nationhood is quite western; all the Arab countries that exist today were created by the British and the French under the Sykes-picot agreement after the First World War: syria, Iraq, Lebanon, (then in 1922, Jordan). The idea of pan-Arab nationalism (as opposed to nation states) took a long time to fade away, right up until Sadat Hussein’s Ba’ath party (the same political movement to which Egyptian president Nasser belonged) was destroyed by the USA quite recently.

It wasn't even Meshigenus who said anyway.

Sorry, neither it was, I apologise for that error.

Spot on. De-escalation and a cease fire is needed so calmer heads can sort out an agreement. So many innocent lives have been cut short- even babies and children.

you’re right, I misread @mushti comment for @Meshigenus and reacted badly so I apologize for that.

Because the Arabs thought of themselves as first and foremost as Arabs, not as Palestinians
I don’t agree with this. I’ve watched many interviews with survivors of the nakba and they all think of themselves as Palestinians, they talk about it as part of their identity and birth right. One that really resonated with me was Edward Said.

Yes, they do now. But they didn’t in 1948.

Thank you. Agreed. The posts on here about water and other issues have been quite educational
That comment is very inflammatory

Does it even matter what their identity was in 1948? Does it matter if the displacement and defeat is what shaped it?
The point is that the Palestinians now have a strong national identity. Whether it was formed 100 years ago or 20 years ago doesn't make it any more or less legitimate.
