Israel captured the Sinai in the six day war of 1967. In 1982, Israel returned the Sinai to Egyptian control as a result of the Israeli - Egyptian Peace treaty.

Problem: That would condone the land-theft of Israel. DetlefK Sep 2014 #1
So basically the Palestinian people should suffer in refugee camps Calista241 Sep 2014 #2
What's best for the Palestinian people is not to give in to Israeli ethinic cleansing. BillZBubb Sep 2014 #4
It's not ethnic cleansing if they annex land from Egypt and move their people from Calista241 Sep 2014 #5
Really? Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #50
No, Israel should stop being allowed to R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #7
Naturally, there would have to be security guarantees on both sides. Calista241 Sep 2014 #14
Yes, I see your failure as well. R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #40
Actually it is a solution. Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #43
Is that what you would consider Israel's final solution? R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #45
Final solution? Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #47
"Actually this isn't a solution to any of Israel's problems." R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #48
Really? Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #49
Please stop feigning ignorance. I'm embarrassed for you for trying. R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #53
You don't seem embarrassed. Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #56

Of course. Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #51
That's exactly it. That's the anti-Zionist movement in a nutshell... shira Sep 2014 #99
The refugees have to go somewhere hack89 Sep 2014 #3
Never is a long time. R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #8
Israel is not going to commit national suicide hack89 Sep 2014 #9
Israel has already committed national suicide Scootaloo Sep 2014 #10
Israel is doomed! DOOMED!! Calista241 Sep 2014 #11
I notice you didn't give your "lol" to hack89, who first brought up the phrase Scootaloo Sep 2014 #12
So basically, you think that because Israel is a Jewish state Calista241 Sep 2014 #13
That holds no resemblance to anything I said Scootaloo Sep 2014 #15
"Racial supremism " what race ? King_David Sep 2014 #20
Jews, Dave. Israel is a racial supremacist state that places Jews as superior to all others. Scootaloo Sep 2014 #21
Spare you the argument cos it doesn't fit your narrative ? King_David Sep 2014 #22
If I said "ethnic supremacism," what about the statement would change? Nothing, it's semantic. Scootaloo Sep 2014 #23
Bye King_David Sep 2014 #26
No, you just embrace and support it Scootaloo Sep 2014 #28
Yes, we understand. You would lose the argument if you tried. R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #42
Nope. Same statement essentially. Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #57
"because Shaktimaan says so" isn't a valid counter argument Scootaloo Sep 2014 #62
"Israel is a racial supremacist state " King_David Sep 2014 #35
A fundamental understanding of the English language Scootaloo Sep 2014 #63
It's strange that the King would now try and argue that there is no race. R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #41
That's called "wishful thinking" King_David Sep 2014 #18
Their social issues are certainly bigger than their military issues... shaayecanaan Sep 2014 #70
Time will tell hack89 Sep 2014 #19
Well, you're heavily invested in a racist narrative. Scootaloo Sep 2014 #24
ok nt hack89 Sep 2014 #25
Strange to see such arguments as those above King_David Sep 2014 #27
Strange to see cheerleading for the abuse and oppression of others in the same context, too Scootaloo Sep 2014 #29

Google the term "Jewish Supremism" King_David Sep 2014 #32
It's super-cute how you keep doing that... Scootaloo Sep 2014 #61
OMG , I never understood your post, so I had to google it. King_David Sep 2014 #76
You're really stretching. Scootaloo Sep 2014 #77
No swimming King_David Sep 2014 #81
I'll bet if you went with just "autoerotic asphyxiation' you'd get some REALLY weird ones Scootaloo Sep 2014 #87
Robin Williams is about hate sites? What are trying to do here? n/t Jefferson23 Sep 2014 #78
2nd on list King_David Sep 2014 #79
Yea, and what does it say..after Robin Williams. You do understand that when you receive one Jefferson23 Sep 2014 #80
The exact same wording is found on other sites, heres a better illustration : King_David Sep 2014 #82
A better illustration of what? That Israel has a racism problem? I would appreciate Jefferson23 Sep 2014 #83
I gave you a better illustration here, King_David Sep 2014 #84
You present an illustration of Robin Williams and David Duke on one, followed by a list Jefferson23 Sep 2014 #85
This message was self-deleted by its author King_David Sep 2014 #86
Did you mean to illustrate one like this from Harretz using that language to describe the issue? Jefferson23 Sep 2014 #89
Permanent occupation of the West Bank is suicide. nt geek tragedy Sep 2014 #91
Which is why Israel must withdraw hack89 Sep 2014 #92
If Israel were to get itself out of the WB the RoR would be dealt with geek tragedy Sep 2014 #93
I doubt Hamas will see it that way hack89 Sep 2014 #94
So. Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #52
No. R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #54
Huh? Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #55
Funny... Scootaloo Sep 2014 #64
Well Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #67
" Regarding real-politick " ... Israeli Sep 2014 #68

Fun one! Shaktimaan Sep 2014 #100
Good for him. n/t Jefferson23 Sep 2014 #6

I think it's contiguous with Gaza not Israel King_David Sep 2014 #30
well here's a map to show just what contiguous is more contiguous with what azurnoir Sep 2014 #34
Not so Nice map - doesn't include Gaza or WB King_David Sep 2014 #36
"I think it's contiguous with Gaza not Israel" R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2014 #44
Took you over an hour to recognize that fact? azurnoir Sep 2014 #59
Your map has no Gaza , no WB , no Palestine. King_David Sep 2014 #39
seems it took more than an hour to recognize that fact azurnoir Sep 2014 #60
Because technically the Sinai is Egyptian property. Calista241 Sep 2014 #46
well Israel seems friendly enough with Sisi perhaps a deal could be worked out azurnoir Sep 2014 #58
Probably not. The Sinai borders up next to the Suez Canal Calista241 Sep 2014 #71
ah I see but Sisi wants how many million Palestinians plopped into Sinai? azurnoir Sep 2014 #74
the Sinai does not belong to us azurnoir.... Israeli Sep 2014 #66
I thought that I read recently sadoldgirl Sep 2014 #33
well the one I've heard about was 3 years and the US has rejected it because it's 'unilateral' azurnoir Sep 2014 #37
Is it for the US to reject it? sadoldgirl Sep 2014 #38
What would they have done with the Egyptians in Rafah? shaayecanaan Sep 2014 #69
Like other countries, I would imagine they'd be given a choice. Calista241 Sep 2014 #73
the scots are being given a choice shaayecanaan Sep 2014 #88
What should be known here is that on a Google search every article on this subject goes back to ToI azurnoir Sep 2014 #75
