Let's be clear about this.

An occupying power moving civilians into occupied territory for the purposes of colonization is a war crime.

Confiscating the property of an occupied people absent military necessity is a war crime.

Annexing occupied territory is an act of aggression that also constitutes a war crime.

Apartheid is not just a regular war crime, but listed as a "crime against humanity" by the International Criminal Court.

Netanyahu is a serial war criminal who belongs in the dock at the Hague.

Foul. Ironic that a country established because of the persecution of Jews in turn persecuted others.

Stop stealing other people’s land.

Good bye, peace.

It won't come back to the Middle East for another generation, if ever.

So where is the other state going to be, in the "Two State" solution they keep talking about?

(No, I don't believe it ever was going to exist either).

Why does American support this?

Why does American support this?

America too was built on land stealing and genocide. But lets be clear....its the U.S. government that supports this...filled with politicians how support or are so apathetic they may as well sit in the "support" camp. How America feels is unknown but most ordinary Americans can hardly be accused of supporting it. They don't get a direct vote.

Give in firther to the vicious spiral? Even suggesting such an illegal and illogical act is crazy.

In the name of 'security', it would surely unite those in other camps. It will be an inevitable goodbye to the faintest possibility of peace, harmony or cooperation, and it will encourage livid hatred.

By not taking advantage of this 'historic opportunity' it could also equally be a chance to demonstrate common sense and humanity.

That should effectively end any chance of a peace deal.

Spellchecker time. 'firther' should be 'further' above.

Was one of the Trumpettes, Mr Jared Kushner, going to deliver "The Deal of the Century" for the Palestinians, a one off, miracle peace maker?

What ever happened to that, or did the media just forget?

It is pretty shocked how one sidedly indoctrinating the American media is, and how the misled, uninformed and supporting ordinary people are, over these issues.

I wonder why that is?

Those middle eastern invasions were surely the most brazen cases of "sheep being led by the nose to slaughter" (in this case slaughter others), modern history has ever seen.

But, yes, I think you are right. On one hand there's a sort of subconscious resonance because it's just a extension of what White America did; on the other hand, there's a sort of brazenness among the East European, Russia and American Jews taking Israel that says, "we'll, you did it, so who are you to tell us what we can and cannot do?".

What's more concerning is the not so much a "revolving door" but the open corridor between US and Israel politics and power and support for even openly criminal ventures.
