Israel loses control of the middle east narrative

[Stalin]

looks like the hapless bibi combover has achieved the impossible

"..A wave of Israel’s allies are announcing their recognition of the state of Palestine, as part of a wider manoeuvre designed to ostracise Hamas and challenge attempts by the Israeli government to erase the chance of a Palestinian homeland.

The UK, Canada and Australia formally declared their recognition of Palestinian statehood on Sunday in separate but coordinated statements. The move marks the first members of the G7 advanced economies to take the step.

Portugal announced its move late on Sunday too. Paulo Rangel, its foreign affairs minister, said: “The recognition of the state of Palestine is the realisation of a fundamental, constant, and fundamental line of Portuguese foreign policy.

“Portugal advocates the two-state solution as the only path to a just and lasting peace … a ceasefire is urgent.”

He added that Hamas “cannot have any form of control in Gaza or outside it” and demanded the release of all hostages.

Other countries also joining the list of 147 UN states that recognise Palestine are Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Malta and possibly New Zealand and Liechtenstein. The other nations are set to make their formal announcement on Monday at a special UN conference to revive the waning cause of a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Some, including the UK, brought forward their declaration out of respect for the Jewish new year.

Israel’s Right to Self-Defense Under International Law

In recent weeks, the international community has been confronted with a deeply alarming crisis unfolding in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. On October 7th, 2023, the Harakat al-Muqawa...

Israel’s Right to Self-Defense Under International Law


The right to self-defense, in both international and criminal law contexts, refers to the justified use of force to repel an attack or imminent threat against oneself, others, or a legally protected interest. Under international law, the notion of self-defense can be traced in two different institutions i.e., jus ad bellum (international law regulating the resort to force) and jus in bello (international law regulating behavior in war). Article 2(4) of the UN Charter strictly prohibits states from using force that threatens the territorial integrity or political independence of any nation, except in cases of individual or collective self-defense as stated in Article 51. Article 51 of the Charter states “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.”

In order to understand why Israel will never be able to persuade Hamas to stop trying to kill every Jew alive, it is important to understand the religious commitment of the Arabs in their unrepentant goal of killing every Jew alive dating back to before 1948.

Hamas’s Genocidal Intentions Were Never a Secret - The Atlantic

Understanding Hamas’s Genocidal Ideology

A close read of Hamas’s founding documents clearly shows its intentions.

By Bruce Hoffman

October 10, 2023


Released on August 18, 1988, the original covenant spells out clearly Hamas’s genocidal intentions. Accordingly, what happened in Israel on Saturday is completely in keeping with Hamas’s explicit aims and stated objectives. It was, in fact, the inchoate realization of Hamas’s true ambitions.

The most relevant of the document’s 36 articles can be summarized as falling within four main themes:

The complete destruction of Israel as an essential condition for the liberation of Palestine and the establishment of a theocratic state based on Islamic law (Sharia),

The need for both unrestrained and unceasing holy war (jihad) to attain the above objective,

The deliberate disdain for, and dismissal of, any negotiated resolution or political settlement of Jewish and Muslim claims to the Holy Land, and

The reinforcement of historical anti-Semitic tropes and calumnies married to sinister conspiracy theories.

 

[Gabriel_Bell]

The Palestinians are mostly opposed to Sharia Law.
Israelis are practicing genocide and should be defunded and opposed.

How are Jews guilty of genocide for simply defending themselves against deranged savages with a one-hundred-old declared intent to murder every Jew alive?

And I thought you were going to try to discuss the unrealized perpetual goal of the Palestinians to murder every Jew they find alive.

The Balfour Declaration was signed in 1917, declaring British support for the re-establishment of the Jewish nation in the traditional land of Jewish heritage given to Abraham by God 4,000 years ago. However, it took the horrific massacre of 6 million Jews by Hitler in WW2 for many other nations in the world to get behind support for the re-establishment of the nation of Israel in the land of Judeah. At the time of the establishment of the two-party state in 1948 Britain withdrew from its oversight of the region, dividing the land between the Arabs and the Jews. That marked the beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because the Arabs were not in favor of giving any property whatsoever to Jews, in spite of the fact that many Jews already owned property in the land that they had purchased from the Arabs before 1948.

The Arabs immediately went to war against the Jews and have declared their intention to murder every Jew from the river to the sea ever since.

the balfour declaration was proclaimed to provide young jewish cannon fodder for the carnage in ww1..

plus balfour hated jews and saw this as a good way to get rid of substantial numbers of british jewry.

The opening words of the declaration represented the first public expression of support for Zionism by a major political power. The term "national home" had no precedent in international law, and was intentionally vague as to whether a Jewish state was contemplated. The intended boundaries of Palestine were not specified, and the British government later confirmed that the words "in Palestine" meant that the Jewish national home was not intended to cover all of Palestine.

The second half of the declaration was added to satisfy opponents of the policy, who had claimed that it would otherwise prejudice the position of the local population of Palestine and encourage antisemitism worldwide by "stamping the Jews as strangers in their native lands".

The declaration called for safeguarding the civil and religious rights for the Palestinian Arabs, who composed the vast majority of the local population,

and also the rights and political status of the Jewish communities in countries outside of Palestine. The British government acknowledged in 1939 that the local population's wishes and interests should have been taken into account, and recognised in 2017 that the declaration should have called for the protection of the Palestinian Arabs' political rights.

The UK made the same promises to the arabs, so the balfour declaration is irrelevant to anything.

you probably did not know anything about this...

"...The McMahon–Hussein correspondence[a] is a series of letters that were exchanged during World War I, in which the government of the United Kingdom agreed to recognize Arab independence in a large region after the war in exchange for the Sharif of Mecca launching the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire.[2][3] The correspondence had a significant influence on Middle Eastern history during and after the war; a dispute over Palestine continued thereafter.

The correspondence is composed of ten letters that were exchanged from July 1915 to March 1916[5] between Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca and Lieutenant Colonel Sir Henry McMahon, British High Commissioner to Egypt. Whilst there was some military value in the Arab manpower and local knowledge alongside the British Army, the primary reason for the arrangement was to counteract the Ottoman declaration of jihad ("holy war") against the Allies, and to maintain the support of the 70 million Muslims in British India (particularly those in the Indian Army that had been deployed in all major theatres of the wider war).[6] The area of Arab independence was defined to be "in the limits and boundaries proposed by the Sherif of Mecca" with the exception of "portions of Syria" lying to the west of "the districts of Damascus, Homs, Hama and Aleppo"; conflicting interpretations of this description were to cause great controversy in subsequent years. One particular dispute, which continues to the present,[7] is the extent of the coastal exclusion.[7][c]

Following the publication of the November 1917 Balfour Declaration (a letter written by British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Baron Rothschild, a wealthy and prominent leader in the British Jewish community), which promised a national home for the Jews in Palestine, and the subsequent leaking of the secret 1916 Sykes–Picot Agreement in which Britain and France proposed to split and occupy parts of the territory, the Sharif and other Arab leaders considered the agreements made in the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence to have been violated. Hussein refused to ratify the 1919 Treaty of Versailles and, in response to a 1921 British proposal to sign a treaty accepting the Mandate system, stated that he could not be expected to "affix his name to a document assigning Palestine to the Zionists and Syria to foreigners".[9] A further British attempt to reach a treaty failed in 1923–24, with negotiations suspended in March 1924;[10] within six months, the British withdrew their support in favour of their central Arabian ally Ibn Saud, who proceeded to conquer Hussein's kingdom.[11]

The correspondence "haunted Anglo-Arab relations" for many decades thereafter.[5] In January 1923, unofficial excerpts were published by Joseph N. M. Jeffries in the Daily Mail[3] and copies of the letters circulated in the Arab press.[d] Excerpts were published in the 1937 Peel Commission Report[13] and the correspondence was published in full in George Antonius's 1938 book The Arab Awakening,[1] then officially in 1939 as Cmd. 5957.[14] Further documents were declassified in 1964.[15]
