Israel utilized widespread terrorism - introducing mail bombs to the Middle East - against the British occupier to establish statehood. Never forget this….
“But first and foremost, terrorism is for us a part of the political battle being conducted under the present circumstances, and it has a great part to play: Speaking in a clear voice to the whole world, as well as to our wretched brethren outside this land, it proclaims our war against the occupier.
The real terrorist hides behind his stacks of papers and of laws he himself legislated. [Our terrorism] is not aimed at persons, but rather at representatives, and therefore it is effective. If, in addition, it shakes the Jewish population out of its complacency, so much the better. Thus, and only thus, will the battle for liberation commence.”
I don’t really know how to word all of this. But something about the idea that we look down on countries that use means of suicide bombers, women and children etc… they hide in their cities etc…
Like instead of what? Having clearly determined army bases?
Having soldiers wear uniforms?
Having the money and infrastructure to train a militia?
People use suicide bombers because that’s clearly an act of desperation.
It’s when there’s a people so desperate, and oppressed for so long, that literally strapping a bomb to yourself to inflict damage is a viable option.
They aren’t “hiding” in cities amongst civilians.
They fucking ARE civilians.
It’s just fucking people!
And so many have expertly weaved this narrative to demonize poor oppressed people fighting in whatever way they can.
Instead of doing the respectable thing of allowing your population to starve by pumping billions into a defense budget and training and putting people on uniforms to die like a respectable country.
I know this is purely fairy tale, but let's dream a bit.
###Some Obstacles.
Israel clearly has the upper hand, is very militarized and ideologically fragile, as it's only legitimate as long as it is a state for the jews.
many geopolitical players don't agree on one formula for peace, that is, if they want peace at all.
The US and the Zionist lobby will not let go of its baby.
Israel's nuclear arsenal.
###Some guidelines for the solution.
A secular democratic bilingual state, which will be called the Republic of Canaan.
The agreement over a constitution that protects the freedom and the rights of all the citizens alike.
Diverse political representation.
Israeli and -if proven guilty- Palestinian war criminals all judged and punished.
Palestinian, and -if proven- Israeli losses in all aspects quantified and compensated.
The full restitution of pre-1967 land and home property to all parties, especially to the Palestinians.
Palestinian right of return, with background checks.
Strict Israeli Aliyah.
Settlements, dismantled.
Hamas dismantled.
Pledges from the new state before the international community to respect its new constitution.
Any form of discrimination based on religion, ethnicity, language, or color is heavily punished.
International joint assisting a transitional period.
The Merging of Armed forces.
