if palestine is a state, then the first rocket they lob at israel, now enables israel to carpet bomb (or worse) under international war. and i hope they do.
Philistines, read “Palestinians” occupied the land before Hebrews became “Israelites”. The radical Zionists at the start of the 20th Century, in ETSEL, and LESCHI, among other groups, wanted no part of peace, or sharing, with anyone. Netanyahu holds, along with Likud, and AIPAC over here, that same radical view.
The Arab “terrorists” in the MIddle East, learned most of their techniques from Zionists.
Actually, no. Even when Abraham came to what is now Palestine/Israel, others lived there. They were not displaced. Rather, Abraham was the newcomer and lived side-by-side with them. Even after Moses brought the Hebrew people back to the Promised Land, they did not displace the native peoples (despite some passages to the contrary, archaeological evidence strongly suggests that the Hebrew people came in and – again – lived side-by-side the native people). Once Jerusalem was destroyed in ca. 70 CE, the people who had been there all along continued to live there. There’s no evidence that they ever left. The fact that it was promised by God does nothing to diminish the fact that the native people still have a claim. And you know, living in a place for many hundred years (without having stolen the land) does give you a claim to the land. So, both sides have equal claim to the land. Why was it that in 1947 the United Nations decided to displace the Palestinians? And why was that okay?

So Israel’s first response is to order the building of more illegal settlements, how “cooperative”.

Why sit around waiting for Israel to come up with a proposal that doesn’t involve “no”?

You do realize the Palestinians were only living there for the past ohh, 700 years.
