Name another part of the world where the murder of young and old, pregnant or holocaust survivors....is praised, celebrated, and rewarded. You can't. And why can't you, Ken? What's different in this situation? Don't tell me you don't know. No deflections please...

BTW, you have yet to explain how, if this WAS solely due to antisemitism, the tactics the IDF has used against ordinary Palestinians on a day-to-day basis would cause that particular feeling to go away. You do realize that it's not possible to oppress a people into tolerance, right?


You think Israel oppresses decent Palestinian people for no other reason than that Israel is "bad"? The antisemitism won't go away because the leadership constantly incites its people, rewards terror....to the point that a majority of Palestinians support terror attacks. Name another situation globally where any people - oppressed or otherwise - supports murdering innocents. If you can't, then why can't you?

The PLO was formed in 1964 because the Palestinians, in addition to not wanting to ever be ruled by the Israelis, didn't want to be ruled by the Hashemites(and rule by the Hashemites is the ONLY thing that could ever come to Palestinians of your preferred option of an Israel-Jordan confederation, Jordan is going to be ruled by the Hashemites for the rest of eternity and the Palestinians would have no hope of any control over their destiny in that scenario.


That's dumb.

What are the goals within the PLO charter of 1964? Maybe summarize in 1-2 sentences, Ken. Did the PLO want 2 states in 1964? Be honest and tell me what they wanted.
