US passes UN vote banning Israeli settlements

[Gauthier]

If you can point me to statistics on feather suffocation I'll be more than happy to compare.

The burden of proof lies on you to prove that Hamas's missiles aren't so bad, really.
And remember that feathers have a 220 million year head start, so when we compare numbers, we'll have to take that into account.

No feathers, but how about this?

The lopsided death tolls in Israel-Palestinian conflicts

These are not surprising figures. During 2012's Operation Pillar of Defense, 167 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military, according to human rights group B’Tselem, who said that less than half of that number were believed to be taking part in hostilities. The same report said six Israelis had died: Four civilians and two members of the Israeli security forces. In the 2008-2009 Gaza War, the pattern was also evident. According to numbers released by the Israeli Defense Force, 1,166 Palestinians died during that conflict, 709 of which the IDF said were "Hamas terror operatives." Thirteen Israelis died, three of whom were non-combatants.

One word "Zionism". We should support Israel in all it's doings. But to be honest, it's just the left trying to create issues before Trump becomes POTUS.

I didn't realise "the left" foresaw the trump presidency in 1967.

We have known all along this would happen. It was written in the Elder Scrolls.

Maybe the Palestinians should stop starting shit with Israel, since they're obviously bad at it.

Because the average Palestinian on the street are all Hamas commanders.

Israel started this mess when the British stole land from the Palestine to create Israel. Since then, land has been disappering at a fast pace.

Israel started this mess when the British started this mess? Also, Palestine was never a country. You can't steal land from a country that doesn't exist.

Yes, person X is a pretty good source for all manner of information about person X.

You don't need to be a commander to fuel the conflict.

It's a name designated for that specific region not a country...

Mandatory Palestine was not a country. It was, in effect, a British territory made up of land taken from the Ottomon Empire after WWI.

It was a colony administered by the British just like India or parts of Africa were. Saying it existed as an independant State is downright stupid.

This more implies that Israel is much better at fighting than Palestine, and that Hamas should invest in tactics instead of just weaponry if they don't want to look embarrassing. Missiles, of course, still kill, even if you're really bad at using them.

Yeah considering its coming straight from the man himself
Also anyone can go and edit his Wikipedia page so...

Because it's more likely someone edited his wiki page than he merely bullshited on his shitty insta-gram to try to get some attention.

[Xeng He]

The big question is: Is this going to appease Hamas? How about the Palestinian people? You still have tons of refugees who can't necessarily fit in that land, and, realistically speaking, no way of completely blocking Israelis from settling in Palestine. If, in the end, there's just a repeat of what happens again, I don't think a victory was really won here.

And of course, there's the cost...

Yes, and anyone can go and check the history to see that some IP address vandalized it ten minutes ago, then go and undo that. If a bot already hasn't.

Yes, we are aware, the Israelis protect their civilians with weapons while the Palestinians protect their weapons with civilians.

This resolution changes very little, if anything, on the ground.

Hamas gets slaughtered, the rest of the Palestinians get ethnically cleansed to Jordan or wherever because nobody civilized gives a fuck, happy ending for anyone who's not a Dirty Pali. *nod*

Sig'd. That is all.

In reality it did nothing and the Israelis are continuing with their plans per usual.

Well, it's the U.N after all. It's impotency only match the one of the league of nations.

We were smart enough to keep out of the first one. If only we had been so wise the second time around.

Mandatory Palestine was not a country. It was, in effect, a British territory made up of land taken from the Ottomon Empire after WWI.

Yet it was called Palestine, Not Israel.

"Palestine" referred to the entirety of both Israel (including Judea and Samaria) and Jordan, the latter taking up the vast majority of the land. "Palestinian" was never a unique culture, ethnicity, or nationality until nazi recruiter Hajj amin al-Husseini declared an independent Palestinian state on the 22nd of September, 1948 (Israel was founded May 14th of the same year).

The only reason any idea of a Palestinian ethnic, national, or cultural identity was ever conceived was specifically to create a sense of legitimization for ethnic cleansing attempts by Arab nations' forces against Jews in Israel.
