The heckin based Labor Zionists, of course, expelled the majority of Arabs from the land under their control, imposed martial law on the rest for two decades, and machine gunned Egyptian POWs en masse into graves they'd made them dig, all of which was, of course, peanuts compared to what awaited the Jews if the Arabs had won. This is not a place for pussies, and the fact that we entertain islands of pussydom amongst us is a great weakness.

Hey, aren't you that guy that was on the cover of that Italian magazine recently?

Oh, I get it-the ugly guy! He's not pretty enough for you, Tom of Finland? You prefer more beautiful men, like Greek statues?

"I personally am not a great fan of Arab culture. If I lived in Europe I would vote in favour of basically zero immigration from the Middle East (no offence), but we are here, and we have to deal with the people we have to deal with."

Fascinating line. The man was born in the UK but chose to live in Syria, even though his presence there is not only illegal under Syrian immigration law but also contrary to international humanitarian law (Fourth Geneva Convention, Article 49, paragraph 6). Yet he still has the audacity to say things like that. Then he proceeds to describe aversion to mentalities like his as 'irrational hate'. Seriously, what do these people have in their heads?

Refreshing dispassionate tone and pragmatism not swept up in one excessive fearful nationalism or another. The calm must at some point inherit the state to impose a solution. Partition is harmful to some degree for every community even settlers, who have subsidies but don't have equal or substantial rights, opportunities and representation in the administration of West Bank. Hence there is an interest in a peace dividend for every community including Arabs in reunification.

The initial partition was two 'mistakes' - UN encouraging separate community administrations then the foundation of the Israel state for jewish majority polity. The latter is understandable as a most practical security and cohesive policy for a number of reasons and it did provide foundation for economic, state and social development. Yet the Israel enclave is not a viable state, the area size, internal resources, contiguous trade environment, and shape of the borders for defendability are insufficient. Partition concept immediately consolidated into two non viable polities with inherent struggle to become viable, and because they are relatively equally balanced in the regional equation, the normally unstable suspension of non viable entities in a continuous contention incubation dish has led to growing fear, hatred and ever more novel war crimes against civilians, and metastasis throughout the globe, e.g. haram mass suicide inspiring daesh and western mass shooters, and massacre of Sabra & Shatila, blowing up heads and hands with cellphones, leveling gaza inspiring American (and many other countries' security forces' latent) decapitation assassinations.

The Israel enclave has established a homeland for Jews and Hebrews, that along with the practical foundation of reunification - IDF and software engineering capacity - are priority accomplishments that make feasible any structure of reunification. Hence there is a theoretical position of zionism in the sense of homeland that is valid. However there is no contradiction between this homeland provision and a union of Great Jerusalem with citizenship for all, structurally it turns on the simple and globally ubiquitous constitutional checks on tyranny of majority, the israel enclave proper holding the reigns of IDF and large business integrity among multiple self administrating areas all having a portion of representation in all union structures. The transition of West Bank from occupation to self administration would probably be gradual, e.g. based on local fusion agreements of settlements and natives allowing them to join the self administration entity.

it is becoming time for the israel enclave to switch from exclusion to reunification, for one thing economic growth can't proceed sufficiently without Hebrew capital spreading unfettered through the whole territory plus west Asia and NE Africa, and the associated reconstitution of Hebrew or Jewish communities in all the traditional main cities.

reunion is a scheme of alternate violence, imposed transition supported by Hamas' self interest, where trusted representatives of each community suppress violence among their own. it means excessive nationalism must be banned and crushed for a time until peace dividend expands to a critical mass of each community's population. the overall level of violence of imposed union cannot possibly be as high as the level of imposed partition and occupation, and it would not be as lonely, having by definition having some level of Hamas and settler trend help.
