Israel/Palestine
Related: About this forumIn a quandary on how to post my views on Palestine / Middle east policy
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Lithos (a host of the Israel/Palestine group).
I have come to the conclusion that the ONLY solution to the Palestine (or "Israel"
crisis is to post a thread that would clearly violate the DU rules. My desired solution is not violent, but it is more revolutionary than be allowed under the current rules.
I propose a "gloves off" segment, perhaps limited to starred members, that would allow us to be a bit more candid with our solutions. This would allow us to debate the issue with more honesty while prohibiting the wingnuts from blatantly politicizing the discussion. For instance, I have "Israel" in quotes as I feel it is as illegal, and as reprehensible, as the existence of the US republican Party. What say?

Some of your "highlights":
Israel needs to be internationally decertified as a country, with progressive Arabs forming the bullwark of a new democratic or other form of non-republican party like entity. It must let the people decide where everyone should live, and imprison all Israeli hardliners for their terrorist activities against Palestine and the neighboring Arab states. I would suggest naming the country Palestine, with a consortium of progressive Arab interests running things, and a demilitarization of the region. ONLY when that happen will there be peace in the mideast, though it must also work in conjunction with a US ban on the republican party to ensure no military meddling on our part.
Israel is 100% at fault, and must be taken to account and decertified. Pure and simple.
One of the fundamental problems that we on the left face is that we are under constant attack by the conservative repressionists for virtually everything we do. To that end, we look at what the problems in the Middle East emanate from, and without blinking an eye, I've tied it in to the existence and manipulation of the American republican party. Without the GOP, Israel would certainly not be handed billions of yours and my dollars every year for maintaining a nuclear, fascist military regime, carrying out attack after attack against poor, innocent civilians, much of which we document here in DU. So to that end, we know HOW the situation is exacerbated.
Therefore, we must surgically be careful, but we MUST destroy any capabilities of Israeli nazis from terrorizing the mideastern region and rectify its political, emotional, and spirtual growth by eliminating the American GOP influence from its life source. Once that occurs, we can effect progressive, humane change.
Basically, nuclear military capabilities would be eliminated to match that of the rest of the region. and the land distributed in equitable ways that ensure prosperity for everyone, not just the republicanist jewish people. But they would be part of the society, not apart from it, even if they deserve it. Only those conservatives who have criminally been abusive in their conservative governance would be denied citizenship, and either imprisoned or banished from the region.
