>> All these defenses of Israel's conduct over the last decades always rely on a "might makes right" world view.

I suggest reading some real history before commenting on Israel's conduct.

Also consider #EcstasyAndAmnesia if you want to understand the #PalestinianPredicament. Just drowning yourself in propaganda without grounding yourself in facts just makes you look silly

3 generations. 3 different wars. 3 different modes of combat. All 3 times, the wars were preceded by grandiloquent pronouncements and popular excitement as well as broad intellectual support. And all 3 times, as soon as or even before defeat appeared, the excitement and frenzy were excised from collective memory, so that the event came to be remembered as a case of pure cruelty by the hand of the Israeli other. That’s the #PalestinianPredicament in a nutshell

#PalestinianPredicament is the direct or indirect outcome of three #Arab-#Israeli wars, each about a generation apart. These are the wars that started in 1947, 1967, and 2000. Each war was a complex event with vast, unforeseen, and contested consequences for a host of actors, but the consequences for the Palestinian people were uniquely catastrophic: the first brought #displacement, the second brought #occupation, the third brought #fragmentation.
