In reply to the discussion: Israel Tells France It’s Not Interested In Multilateral Peace Talks [View all]leftynyc
(26,060 posts)Pretending that because those in 1947 who attacked Israel are most likely dead does in no way change the fact that Israel has been fighting for its survival since Day 1 of their existence. And it wasn't just 1947 - it was 1956, 1967, 1972 - over and over again the supposed allies of the Palestinians (I don't think they actually give a shit about the Palestinians at all but that's a conversation for another time) kept and keep telling them they just need to suffer a little while longer until they figure out how to rid the Middle East of the Jewish state. The ONLY thing that will bring that about is laying down their arms, renouncing violence and sitting down with the Israeli's. You seem to think the onus should be on the Israelis and I disagree with that. The leaders of Israel need to defend their country - nothing else. The status quo hurts the Palestinians far more than the Israeli's who don't give a shit about world opinion so whining about bibi will get them nothing. I put the onus on the people who need peace the most - the Palestinians.
