Netanyahu undeterred on annexation

[Peter1469]

Then say, "I don't know" cause it doesn't matter. Instead, you pretend like you do. When we both know you don't.

It doesn't matter to smart people.

Why does it matter to you?

It doesn't matter to smart people.

Why does it matter to you?

It matters to me because you and I often discuss this region, its' geopolitics, its' tendency for its' conflicts to expand, its' relevance to America's politics and even vital national security interests. And I'm saddened by your lack of homework, you and I both know you've got no clue how many Palestinians are to be annexed. Your suggested policy of physically 'tossing them' on the east side of the Jordan River and making them someone else's issue I would have thought would have come with some knowledge as to how many people we're speaking about. I even gave in, I realize you don't care and it doesn't matter to smart people. I get the very easily understood reality that annexed land by Israel where they're a minority in a majority of Palestinians isn't tenable. I merely asked for the sake of the discussion, move past all your questions in response to a single question that you still cannot answer. And it's because you don't have a f'n clue. On most matters regarding this region. And why it matters. I must keep that in mind as we discuss.

Don't get stuck on stupid.

Don't get stuck on stupid.

We're stuck until you can answer the question both of us know you can't answer then. It's not a trick question, Pete. How many Palestinians are we talking about...that you're 'tossing' east of the Jordan?

www.duckduckgo.com into the search bar type how many Palestinians live there. It might even support your argument, Peter. The annexation proposal is for what....22-25% of the West Bank. An area already occupied by Israel. Palestinians would fall under Israeli laws rather than Jordan's who technically is rule of law today, but it would also give Palestinians right to citizenship. Israeli citizenship. A fair deal and supported by Trump. And Neocons. Who supported the same type annexation on the Golan Heights last year.

Then they breed like rabbits to get a Muslim majority.

Not going to fly for the Jews.

STRATFOR is reporting that Washington is likely not going to support annexation.

Update: Israeli court strikes down law legalizing settlement homes

This article explains the annexation plan better than previous articles did. The area that was to be annexed is full of Jewish settlements. The international community and now the Israeli court considers these settlements to be illegal. The Palestinians were going to be forced off that land, and compensated with land elsewhere in the West Bank or with money.

Anyway, the Israeli court said the law was illegal because it sought to legitimize past illegal actions- the settlements. I am not sure why that makes the law illegal. It wouldn't in the US.

Israel’s highest court on Tuesday struck down a contentious law that sought to retroactively legalize thousands of West Bank settlement homes built unlawfully on private Palestinian land.


Israel’s parliament passed the law in February 2017, but it was frozen by the Supreme Court shortly thereafter while it heard petitions against it.


The court’s decision was criticized by the ruling pro-settlement Likud party, but welcomed by its coalition partners in the Blue and White party, exposing a rift in the fragile new government.

The court ruled Tuesday that the law was illegal, saying it “retroactively authorized illegal actions done by a particular population in the area while harming the rights of another population.”


According to the law, Palestinian landowners would be compensated either with money or alternative land, even if they did not agree to give up their property.

"Toss" them? I'm sorry, elaborate. Like into refugee camps, into existing towns?

I had a better idea
