And is is that Evil Rothchild family that created Israel back in 1948.

Restraint or international pressure? Im going with international pressure. If they could do it without to much issue they would . they would finish the job.

International pressure to do what ? Exercise restraint ?

It's pointless to debate how much International pressure is responsible for their restraint. But it is still restraint.

Who built Jerusalem ?

Historical Map of Palestine under Joshua and the Judges (1250-1125 B.C.) there is no Israel
there

View attachment 255576

I notice that your map shows most of the area as "territory of the 12 tribes of Isreal".

So, who were the Palestinians back then ? The Jews ?

How did this go from the Putin suck off fest to an argument about Palestine?

I am still very Team Putin

 

[Mosinitis]

Back to Ukraine.

Putin ruled out any agreement with Zelensky to end the war. Zelensky served out his presidential term and no longer has legitimacy to sign any agreements on behalf of Ukraine. There is also a standing Ukrainian ban on any negotiations with Russia enacted by Zelensky. Therefore any agreement signed by Zelensky is not legally binding. Especially in light of past agreements that were routinely ignored by Ukraine and NATO.
Putin agreed to negotiate an agreement with the U.S. (NATO) directly and will allow Ukrainian representatives to participate.

Freezing of the conflict is not going to happen. Russia is winning and will only end the war when Ukraine or what is left of it is no longer a hostile state. Fair position considering the price Russia paid.

Really funny to people describing the guys who got invaded as the hostile state.

Maybe NATO should just occupy Ukraine, as a buffer against Russia.

None of them called Palestinians though.

More recently, when the Brits owned the whole area they called it the British mandate for Palestine, but that was mostly what we call Jordan now.

The whole region has been called Palestine for a long time, but there was never a Palestinian people until the 1950s. None of the cities were built by anyone who called themselves Palestinians, or anyone the current Palestinians can trace a cultural lineage to.

The city of Gaza has been around for 4000 years, but no Palestinians lived there, or anywhere else until the second half of the 20th century.

The whole area has been inhabited by a long series of different tribes and cultural groups, but to say they're "Palestinian" would be like me claiming the Navajo are "my people" because we're both Arizonans, despite the fact that they've been here 1000 years, and I've been here 4, and there is no distinct "Arizonan" culture anyway.

This will continue until somebody puts a bullet in to Zelensky's head, IMO. No need for me to comment about it. Just the way it is and will continue to be.

Canaanites. The map also shows, the Hittites Philistines , Phoneticians Almalkites moabites , ect. . theres no conflict there, A lot of people living there

Often times in the Bible it's referred to as the land of the Canan or of Moab before Moses brings the people to the promise land. Israel is then at one point broken up into Judah and Israel. I can't remember if the Bible even mentions it at Palestine ,but I don't think so. Honestly I don't have a stake in the argument, this is more of a musing.


I'll be honest though. If Hamas came to my homeland and did things like that October attack, I'd consider bringing back the old Testament ways if you know what I mean.

If the Fucking Muslims would have not attacked Israel , burned babies alive in ovens. They would still be fucking each others goats
PS I have no love for Israel. Remember the USS Liberty

They both lay claim to the same lands called by different names , and the dispute continues into eternity , chicken or the egg. The worst thing the US could have ever done is get involved in this mess.

In 1919, Palestinian Muslims and Palestinian Christians constituted 90 percent of the population of Palestine, just before the third wave of Jewish immigration and the setting up of British Mandatory Palestine after World War I.[39][40]

The Greek toponym Palaistínē (Παλαιστίνη), which is the origin of the Arabic Filasṭīn (فلسطين), first occurs in the work of the 5th century BCE Greek historian Herodotus, where it denotes generally[55] the coastal land from Phoenicia down to Egypt.[56][57] Herodotus also employs the term as an ethnonym, as when he speaks of the "Syrians of Palestine" or "Palestinian-Syrians",[58] an ethnically amorphous group he distinguishes from the Phoenicians.[59][60] Herodotus makes no distinction between the inhabitants of Palestine.[61]


During the Mandatory Palestine period, the term "Palestinian" was used to refer to all people residing there, regardless of religion or ethnicity, and those granted citizenship by the British Mandatory authorities were granted "Palestinian citizenship".[77] Other examples include the use of the term Palestine Regiment to refer to the Jewish Infantry Brigade Group of the British Army during World War II, and the term "Palestinian Talmud", which is an alternative name of the Jerusalem Talmud, used mainly in academic sources

The whole area has been inhabited by a long series of different tribes and cultural groups, but to say they're "Palestinian" would be like me claiming the Navajo are "my people" because we're both Arizonans, despite the fact that they've been here 1000 years, and I've been here 4, and there is no distinct "Arizonan" culture anyway.

problem with your theroy is that the people in the region are mostly semetic, Jews and Arabs Both peoples have been living there for miliniea The jewish people wrtie about them the Romans wrote about them The fact that the names changed around the turn of century by the British means nothing . so saying the Navajo people will now called Bostonian's doesnt change the fact

Isreal wasnt even a country till 48 , and Palestine under the ottomans encompassed all the people of the region Christians Jews and Muslims

The Palestinians and the Jews are the same race, they are the same people. they are both Semitics, they didnt just move in from Florida nor did they immigrate there from Europe like a lot of Jews did .

outside of that lets drop this on this thread get back to Ukraine

Except the Isreali claim goes back to 3000BC and the Palestinians goes back to 1950.

And the Isreali's actually live there and can defend it.

The only reason there are Palestinians in Gaza is that Isreal gave it to them to try and buy them off so there wouldn't be more bloodshed.

Just more proof that appeasement never works.

Better to just acknowledge that bloodshed is the only solution and rip off the bandaid.

If you kill enough of them, it will stop. That is the one solution that always works.

How do you figure? They were written about all through the history of the region .. They are ethnicly the same people

Because the British decided to call them Palestinians? So did the Romans. You think they were the only people to live in the area? they all just moved in, in June 1950? Thats one of main problems of the area, the history goes back God knows.

the 2nd worse thing was to get into an internet discussion about it.

I don't think the Roman's called anyone Palestinians. I think they called them Jews, and just called the region Palestine.

The fact of the matter is that the current people who call themselves Palestinians didn't have a distinct identity prior to 1950. They were Jordanians or Egyptians.

You won't find any reference to them as a distinct group until it became politically expedient to do so in the 20th century.

If you disagree, then what tribe are the Palestinians descended from ?

And the problem with your theory is that the historical "Palestinians" are the Jews.

Just because some Syrians and Egyptians decided to break away and start calling themselves Palestinians in the middle of the 20th century doesn't give them claim to Jerusalem.

Who is it that you think built the temple of Solomon ? The ancestors of the Jews or the ancestors of the Palestinians ?

 

[Mosinitis]

Really funny to people describing the guys who got invaded as the hostile state.

Maybe NATO should just occupy Ukraine, as a buffer against Russia.

Four billion dollars spent by U.S. on hate mongering propaganda and propping up of violent extremist groups to transition Ukraine into a hostile state only prior to 2014 (by U.S. government own admission). U.S. supported and aided terrorism and violence against Russia population in Donbas and pro-Russian segment of Ukrainian society. Openly advocated genocide by American politicians and military leaders.

Putin's biggest mistake is not taking military action sooner.

I'm torn on Israel and the middle east.

I think Israel is the most civilized country there and they are frequently the victims of attacks and atrocities. Hamas and Hezbollah are scum and if they were eradicated the world would be better off.

I think a lot of the middle Eastern people are barbaric. But not all, there are some who are just trying to live their lives and they genuinely think Israel is the villain. I guess if I was in their shoes I probably would too. There are plastianian people just trying to live their lives and Israel is absolutely destroying them. And it can be argued justifiably so. If we were attacked in the manner Israel was i would be livid too.
.
However I also don't think Israel is a blameless innocent party.

Israel will align with US policy and interests when it's mutually beneficial for their interests. Otherwise there are circumstances like the USS liberty. Israel is going to do what is good for Israel.

The whole eye for an eye makes everyone blind really applies to the middle east.
