This WordPress contains pictures and photos of Israeli and Palestinian views on Gaza and the West Bank and The State of Israel .These are pictures that I have seen Tweeted or put on Facebook .
My own view is simple – I would like to see a single ,federated, Secular
nation with a new capital and Jerusalem as a type of Vatican Free city , open to all .It’s accepted by its neighbors , who are also Secular and peaceful . This is probably a pipe dream .
There are resolutions against Israel , but you really have to look at who voted for them .I will make it clear here ,that until my Utopian dream actually happens , I AM in favour of An Israel existing and being a democracy, with religion on the decrease . I AM in favour of A Palestinian State existing and one day removing the extremists from office ,to be a democracy . Both states must learn to trust each other .
I am fed up of seeing this situation on my TV . Just really fed up of the Flare ups .
Religion is the cause ,politics and ownership of land and water disputes continue it . Also Israeli Settlements and house demolition inflames it further . The firing of rockets by Arab extremists is wrong . The use of children in any war is wrong .The use of civilians as shields or being targeted when a surgical strike is underway is wrong . It is also true that Judaism can continue without Zionism , but Zionism can’t continue without Judaism .Hamas also knows any rockets fired at Israel will bring an overwhelming response of military firepower , in which civilians will suffer .
To go back to the borders of 1947 is unrealistic , but THESE are the proper UN / Allied Powers agreed-on borders !! Remember that .
To have the borders of 1967 is a compromise for Palestinians , but giving up All Settlements built after 1967 is a compromise that Israel would have to make .
A good question – When Gaza was ‘ Egyptian’ and The West Bank was ‘ Jordanian’ , why didn’t they create a Palestinian state then ?
A rough quote from Golda Meir – ” when the Arabs love their kids , more than hating us …then there will be peace ”
Seeing pictures of children from Gaza being trained for ” War against Israel ” …this is a long way off !
In no order and with NO endorsement by me … The pictures
Palestine , 1942 coins
Israel has never ” grabbed ” land !
Untrue , Jewish settlers established Kiriath-Arba (after Joshua 14 :15) in Hebron .The private Palestinian land was expropriated (25 Hectares) for ‘ security ‘ reasons & a supposed military base set up and then in 1971 the first settlers moved in .
1899 map
How can a Secular state have a religious national flag ?
I don’t think Israel wants this …just safe borders .
What would happen if a group called the Phoenician Liberation Front called for their state to be reborn ?
Another coin , 1927 .
Bantustans were the South African way of creating a ghetto / area of concentration for a minority ,giving them a veneer of ‘ Independence ‘ , then walking away , still very much in control .
If both sides slowly but surely see that religion isn’t based on truth , maybe things will change .
Maps have played a part in this conflict .Some people see this picture differently
See below ⤵
For Jewish \ Zionists – ⏫ this map is correct .
Then , for others – they don’t even see TransJordan .In their head , Palestine was the left part only .
Jewish homeland IN Palestine is 1947 map .
Israel was attacked and gained territory up to 1967 .
They gained more afterwards .
1967 .
Two state solution rests on both sides agreeing to that 1967 land border and allowing Palestinian people back into Israel or Israel giving compensation .Israel gives up Most / all settlements .It is colonialism to take land by force , throw out the people living there and build your own homes there .Land theft .Wrong .
Some Zionists see this as the whole – with Palestinian Palestine being the right and Israeli Palestine as the left ,with Jordan River as boundary .
A solution is way , way off .
Is this area is the ulcer of the World ?
Has the ” right to return ” failed ?
Additional insert – I was given a link to BDS Movement Freedom Justice Equality by a Tweeter . ( http://www.twitter.com/stanleyrogouski )
Boycott , Divestment and Sanctions movement .Founded 9 th July 2005 , by 171 non-gov Palestinian organizations , they use UN Resolutions for a Global BDS campaign . Norman Finkelstein , a pro-palestinian has called BDS ” a cult ” .I don’t know about that .

And this is a map of the Middle East , if all this petty , horrible , nasty , vile hatred born of ( Mythical ) God-given Divine Land certificates & use of Civilian as pawns in a bigger power game continues…..
