Lana, Israel did not expel 800,000 Palestinians.
The Palestinians left at the calls of the Arab leaders cause they thought they would be in the way, when the Arab armies anihilated the Jews.
Then the Palestinians thought they would come back and get the spoils of war.
Read for yourself this great article.

Lana, IT’S NOT ABOUT LAND, STUPID!! It’s about the fact that the hostile nations surrounding Israel hate Jews and do not want ANY Jewish presence AT ALL in the Middle East ! -

A new settlement plan!
11/9/2011
Palestine Today reports of a nefarious new Israeli initiative, where it plans to build some 1400 new apartments in what it called a “settlement plan.”

Some 228 acres will be expropriated for this scheme.

And where is it planned for?

Haifa.

@benisrael
You should tell your IDF about those “Thousands of victims”. They got the wrong numbers

@Ben Israel RE: The West Bank is “disputed territory” in legal terms.

Can you cite the Court where Israel appeared and disputed the status of the West Bank in “legal” terms?

I’m so happy for you that you discovered I was technically wrong about Israel being the most densely populated country in the developed world. It is still a very densely populated country not capable of absorbing 6 million ppl (this was the refugee figure originally cited by LANA, which I was responding to). Thanks also for the childish, creepy, petty personal comments about my track record. You’re earning a lot of respect with those.

Just because pro-Palestinian advocates choose to forget or ignore the massive Palestinian suicide bomber campaign that killed or wounded thousands of Israelis IN ADDITION TO the ongoing indiscriminate rocket fire into Israeli population centers DOESN’T MEAN THEY DIDN’T HAPPEN. These are the reasons for the security wall and road checkpoints, NOT “racial discrimination”.

I wonder about all the “settlers abusing poor Palestinian farmer” stories we are regaled with as well.

I didn’t say that. I said that even if true, this has nothing to do with population density, and that you were talking rubbish when you claimed that Israel is (I quote) “the most densely populated country in the developed world”. I find it interesting (though, sadly, unsurprising given your track record) that when your factual error is pointed out you prefer to change the subject rather than admit a mistake.

@RICHARDNYC:
By generalizing and calling 6 million people(regardless who they are) “hostile”, there’s no point of arguing with you anymore.

@ASAF
So? There are people who say that the Holocaust has become an industry, does this mean it didn’t happen? Please! and if you find this discourse PR you really don’t have to read it.

@LANA,
I was on reserve duty on the west bank last summer, and one of the missions was a checkpoint. A lot of activists were around most of time (summer break on Europe I guess). They had a habbit of coming to the checkpoint with a Palestinian and video cameras, and trying to get some “good shots” of soldiers abusing the Palestinian. Since we were a bunch of old, relaxed, mostly left-wing soldiers, they were quit disappointed. They had an alternative strategy: some of them dressed like IDF soldiers and made a fake checkpoint so distance away, and when a turkey bus came, the put up a show of soldiers abusing a palestinian woman. Turned out this is a known thing.
My point is that activists took activism too far and turned it into public relations, and websites like this are more into the making-news business than the reporting news one.
