[url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-20572934[/url] [quote=BBC News][B]Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has returned to a hero's welcome in the West Bank after his successful move to upgrade the Palestinians' UN status.[/B] "Now we have a state," he told cheering supporters in Ramallah. "Palestine has accomplished a historic achievement." On Thursday the United Nations General Assembly voted to recognise the Palestinians as an observer state. In response Israel halted the transfer of tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority (PA). The decision, announced on Sunday by the Israeli finance ministry, means 460m shekels ($120m; £75m) will be withheld in December. The PA, which rules the West Bank, is heavily dependant on tax revenues Israel collects on its behalf. A ministry spokesman told the BBC the money would instead be used to offset the PA's debts, which include millions owed to Israel's electricity company. [B]'Standing fast'[/B] The Israeli decision was announced as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas returned to the West Bank from the UN in New York. He told thousands of flag-waving supporters in Ramallah that the vote to upgrade the Palestinians' status from "non-member observer entity" to "non-member observer state" had shown the international community stood behind the Palestinian people. "The march was a long one, and the pressures were enormous," Mr Abbas added. "But we stood fast and we prevailed, because we are the voice of these people." Mr Abbas also called for reconciliation between Palestinians - a reference to the split between the PA in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza. On Friday Israel announced it would move ahead with building thousands of new homes in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, in another apparent response to the UN vote.[/quote]
Oh just fuck off Israel
Israel can fuck itself. Get the fuck out of our lands, God fucking damn it. No wonder why no one wanted them in the US, Europe and all the other fucking places in this world.
Goddamnit israel, stop your zionist bullshit already, no-one likes you.

Maybe they could actually make some progress if Israel stopped empowering Hamas by undermining the PA. Slim chance of that happening anytime soon though.
A pox on Israel for this injustice; they aren't exactly proving themselves to be a government of good people with these attitudes.
Maybe Hitler had a point. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Racism - Strike two" - Starpluck))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=Scrimp;38676056]Maybe Hitler had a point.[/QUOTE] Nothing Israel has ever done to date has even remotely justified anything that has happened to Jews for being Jews throughout history.

[QUOTE=Van-man;38676136]I can't help but feel that's the excuse Israel uses so they can continue being horrible against Palestinians.[/QUOTE] I disagree. A few nuts have used it, but I haven't seen it in a while. If there's any 'excuse' the Israeli govnt. is using to be assholes it's 'Israel has a right to defend itself'.
[QUOTE=Van-man;38676136]I can't help but feel that's the excuse Israel uses so they can continue being horrible against Palestinians.[/QUOTE] It is. The holocaust and the persecution of jews throughout history is bad. But its history. It doesn't give Israel the right to be a massive cunt and basically make one big concentration camp without gaschambers.

[QUOTE=Kero_;38676535]It has been shown how this whole comparison to a concentration camp is retarded so move on[/QUOTE] Enlighten me. How does putting a group of people with a unifying quality on a piece of land, then denying them free travel and supplies, together with constantly terrorizing them with a fear of death or injury not remind you of the concentration camps? I'd love to see how it is a retarded comparison.

I'd love to see how it is a retarded comparison.[/QUOTE] Probably because the concentration camps were a) specifically geared to exterminate large groups of people, and b) places where large populations of people were routinely killed, rather than "constantly terrorizing them". Yes, I find many of the actions they've taken, recently and otherwise, to be deplorable, but nothing, absolutely [I]nothing,[/I] on the scale of the death camps.

[QUOTE=Marbalo;38678011]You do realize Israel's hand is forced by the Hamas[/QUOTE] That's rich
[QUOTE=Kero_;38676535]It has been shown how this whole comparison to a concentration camp is retarded so move on[/QUOTE] Yes, sir, your word is law. No it fucking wasn't, stop your dodging of a true analogy.
[QUOTE=Marbalo;38678011] What is 'constantly terrorizing them with a fear of death', even? You do realize Israel's hand is forced by the Hamas.[/QUOTE] Stopped reading there, clearly going to defend his own land and ignore the real views. Way to go!
[QUOTE=EpikMonster;38675886] No wonder why no one wanted them in the US, Europe and all the other fucking places in this world.[/QUOTE] lol is this ok now
[QUOTE=Marbalo;38678011]1. Anyone at anytime is free to leave the Gaza strip, but it's fairly difficult to obtain citizenship in both Egypt and Israel for obvious reasons. 2. Israel supplies Gaza with untold amounts of supplies yearly; including water, electricity, food, civilian goods, etc. Admittedly, Israel is committed to doing so because any occupying military must provide for all civilians under its control. What is 'constantly terrorizing them with a fear of death', even? You do realize Israel's hand is forced by the Hamas, a party that was democratically elected by the Palestinians? We aren't oppressing a tiny minority that is unable to defend itself. We are dealing with a terrorist organization that somehow assumed a governmental role that publicly executes people suspected of treason, ties their corpses to motorcycles and rides through the town square, cheering.[/QUOTE] Look how "free" the Palestinian people are: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1230000[/url]
They are murdered everyday for no fucking reason, wow they threw a rocket which does little damage, you do realize it's retarded what you posted, claiming that Israel is FORCED by Hamas to do this shit. Are you sad that it's true? Israel is nothing but a filthy country that is taking the freedom and who took the homes from people, your nation is disgusting.
Marbalo you can't win this guy knows exactly what he's talking about
I like how EpikMonster and Malboro are such polar opposites. Question is which of these poles have any land to stand on once all the ice melts?
It doesn't matter how much proof you give them showing how Israel is treating Palestinians and not even considering them human. HE still goes on to defend and justify Israel's attacks, please, make humanity a favor and go away. No one liked you in US or Europe or wherever.

[QUOTE=mac338;38678311]I like how EpikMonster and Malboro are such polar opposites. Question is which of these poles have any land to stand on once all the ice melts?[/QUOTE] but poles don't need to stand on anything they're a force of nature
[QUOTE=Cone;38678416]but poles don't need to stand on anything they're a force of nature[/QUOTE] Technicalities. [QUOTE=Marbalo;38678409]Except I've time and time again mentioned that I dislike our current government and have my issues with many of its policies and laws. Just because I defend it when it comes to certain aspects and specific events doesn't necessarily imply I'm some far-right Zionist. [/QUOTE] TECHNICALITIES!
