It’s not evacuating, because it’s part of that whole idea that the state need’s an enemy to justify it’s existence
Eugene, I’d like to know what your opinion is of the points raised by the woman in this video. If I were living in a land that was being colonized and had streets cutting it up and compartmentalizing it that I wasn’t allowed to use, I would grab a gun and fight the Israeli occupiers and vote for any politician that would promise to do the same. But if they stopped their invasion of my lands then I would go back to my normal life.
That is because you live in israel, Israel was recently created country that invaded other peoples land and through force pushed the original people back. This is why a defensive attitude to military spending would not be feasible. That would be like mexico expanding in to the USA and claiming USA land and then not understanding how a defensive military policy could be feasible. Israeli population is forced into the military and the media in the country is full with the same sort of propaganda that we have in the west. I do not see how israel is within the interest of the west and I do not see why the isrealis think the west owes them anything. Maybe you can explain why the west should care about isreal?
Comparing isreali palestinian conflict to the bombing of japan is weak. The situations are completely different and what are you suggesting is necessary then to solve the conflict? Sounds like you are the worst kind of enemy to freedom.
Palestinians won’t go back to normal life since they want Israel to disappear. They feel that Israel is a regime that was forced upon them, which is partially true. Since Jews will not let Israel disappear, or will let 5 million refugees to immigrate to Israel, this conflict is insoluble.
