It never would've worked, would it.
The Palestinian territories are not contiguous, although there were points where contiguity could have been provided. The Israeli territory is contiguous.
It wouldn't have been a problem if they could all display a bit of tolerance. But who are we to preach tolerance?
 
It shows what we all think. Perhaps try being self aware.
Your abuse (and others') has made me well aware of what you (and others) think.
Does it suggest I should respect the opinion(s) of such persistent abusers?
What do you think?
 
It might've done, we'll never know. That proposal was reluctantly accepted by Israel but rejected by the Arabs.
Palestinians didn't have a say about it.
It was under British occupation, and the British abstained* in the vote to expel Palestinians, and give the land to Jews.

* Even though it was their plan.

Also:
The partition plan was reluctantly[8] accepted by the Jewish Agency for Palestine with misgivings[9], while Zionist leaders viewed the plan as a stepping stone to future territorial expansion over the whole of Palestine.

Which Denso doesn't knoiw about, or denies. :rolleyes:
 
They did have a say and they rejected the plan.

Palestinians didn't have a say about it.
It was under British occupation, and the British abstained* in the vote to expel Palestinians, and give the land to Jews.
The league of Arabs disagreed with the plan, for genuine reasons. But the Palestinians didn't have a voice, other than that through the League of Arabs.

It was, and they've never been close to a better deal - 80%of the territory would've been Arab and Israel would almost certainly have been crushed should the deal had gone ahead. Palestine have had plenty of opportunities to settle a deal but Israel wouldn't accede the 1967 border. Since the Arab coalition planned to destroy them it's hard to see why they should do so anyway.
How anyone can untangle this unholy mess is a mystery.
 
I gave it an academic comment. :rolleyes:
You dodged the question by giving other parties views on whether they are a terrorist organisation or not.

The question was whether you think Hamas are a terrorist organisation. Not someone else's opinion or view, yours and yours only.
 
The problem is that many have conflated criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic, which is nonsense.
But gullible and dishonest biased people were content to go along with it.
Its a form of McCarthyism.
Most real anti semites don't know what a semite is.
The correct term should be anti Jewish but that doesn't have the same sinister ring to it.

I'm honoured that you find my view so important. Normally there's an unholy stink when I post my opinion. Now it's sought desparately. :rolleyes:
You must be about the fifth that's desparately seeking my opinion.

Why not start a poll to see how many are desparately seeking my opinion. We are allowed to voice an opinion, I assume?
Oh no, we're not! There's only one opinion allowed. Anyone who disagrees with the UK's official position might be breaking the law, according to motorbiking.. :rolleyes:
Mind you, according to motorbiking, anyone who hasn't expressed an opinion has already committed a criminal offence. He just can't find the evidence. :rolleyes:
According to Notch the absence of evidence of the negative is enough to prove the positive. :rolleyes:

It hardly matters because they adopt the accusation for anyone who criticises the Israeli government.
