What it’s like to be a Palestinian in Israel-Prof Dalal Iriqat, Arab American University, Ramallah

[@The23451234]

Very illuminating. Shows how true love of one's own people and country is no different from loving all people all over the world. Nowhere do these conflict. If they do, then we are not fit or ready to live in peace in the world. True and passionate humanism displayed by the professor.

[@Jogi99Cooking1]

If the world could not deliver on a two state solution to go back to the 1967 borders, the world would never be able to guarantee a one state solution (Jewish?) with equal rights to everyone irrespective of religion. If Israel had dealt with its current Palestinian population with dignity and honor, there would already be one vibrant state and thriving. As Dr. Dalal described life for Palestinians in Israel as much less than honorable and equal, with even Israeli Supreme Court proving its justice neither to be blind or balanced, she and her kin must be absolutly desperate to even accept a one state solution, essentially handling over all of the Palestine to Israel, with no right of return to Palestinians settled overseas. It is wishful thinking even on the part of Mr. Gideon Levy. With its behavior, Israel will, as would PA's sterile existence, perpetuate militant organizations like Hamas. And with Israel dealing with its Palestinian neighbors the way it does, Thapar Sahib, you can be rest assured that Hamas enjoys a huge popularity among Palestinians all over, because it appears, unlike Mahmood Abbas's PA, that Hamas is not sterile and toothless. Not a good sign. In essence unless Israel changes its behavior, nothing else will change. And while at it, Congress Party if India is also heading the way of Labor party of Israel. 😮

Can Mr. Thapar and associates provide some insight on how the "right of return" and UN resolution 194 apply to the South Asian context? Can I as a Hindu with ancestral connections to Bangladesh claim a right of return to that country from India? Or for that matter, a Sikh from the Punjab claim such a right to Pakistan? Why does this special resolution not apply to South Asia and why are Palestinian refugees so special? I am not in support of everything that the state of Israel does, but that country was founded as a "Jewish democracy" under extreme conditions, and it makes sense to me that they would want to preserve the Jewish character of the state.

The demographics will favor an Arab state if they combine the population . Not only that , the Arab state will have access to the military and financial resources of present day Israel. If they don't stay secular and become pro Iranian , then neither the west or Saudis would like that . On the other hand if they become a successful secular state , pretty much all middle eastern powers will not want an example of prosperous non islamic secular democracy . Plus there's this little issue of the Jews and Holocaust and trust that brought us here in the first place .

Interesting that Gaza is blockaded only by Israel. You say that no-one can enter or leave Gaza: You forgot to mention that those Palestinians, for instance, that want to go overseas can go through the Rafah Egyptian border post. You forgot to mention that thousands of Gazans enter Israel every day to work and bring back money to their families. You forgot to mention that hundreds of trucks a week enter Gaza from Israel with produce and medical supplies. You forgot to mention that thousands of Gazans (and from the West Bank) enter Israel each week to obtain treatment in Israeli hospitals. Israeli volunteers meet them at the border to drive them to hospital and back. One of the hostages kidnapped to Gaza by the genocidal murderous Hamas, was such a volunteer.

[@giridhark9889]

Does Geneva conventions and international laws apply only to Israel not to Hamas if it is a legitimate organization with a legitimate struggle?

Understood that Jews have been subject to unspeakable horror during the Holocaust - but all the more reason why they should exhibit some compassion towards the Palestinians. Why should an ordinary citizen suffer? And the Arabs neighbours - complete shame they have done so soo little for their brethen!!
