Allon said:Not true, Arabs and jews only started fighting since the 20's when zionism started. Always got on quite well b4 that.
The wall does cut into their territory. But what exactly is their territory is yet to truly be defined and agreed upon. That is part of the problem with the wall as the arabs say that Israel is using the wall to define the territory.
The worst part is when it cuts through farmland so palestinians who have a field they need to harvest, when part of it is on the other side of the wall have to travel to the nearest checkpoint, wait for hours and get searched as well as get a permit to enter Israel b4 this, and then travel back to their field on the other side of the wall, and then return home at the end of the day... imagine it, it sucks, as well as the humiliation. Sometimes they don't even get to go do the work and lose crops...
The reason the wall is built in some of these places is often due to the fact that if the wall is built in a certain place and to continue it you have to go around a certain area makes it much less practicle to build it as well as making it close to Israeli settlements. Obviously Israel who controls the territories called palestine will always choose the option that suits Israel best and not consider some Palestinian farmers. It sucks but thats life...
As an Israeli I might add that I have no solid opinion about this wall.
I hate the fact it exists and everything I stand for is against this kind of thing.
On the other hand, if it saves lives?.....
All in all, the majority of Israeli's (including myself at times) feel that the palestinians are the ones who caused us to build it. until they "grow up" and accept Israels superiority and right to exist, they are sealing their own fate behind this wall apart from any other inconveniance that their people are going through.
Hey, they had a democratic election this week, the first arab state ever to do this, so maybe there is hope?

well, when a palestinian family has been farming the land since before the state of israel existed, then really, anyone with a mediocum of sense realises that that particular bit of land is theirs and by extension, palestinian territory. therefore the "agreeance" you are talking about isnt about tracing back the owners of the land and coming to a fair conclusion - rather, it is israel leaning on the palestinian landowner until they "agree" that it isnt worth the hassle anymore and accept taht they have to cut their losses and move on.Allon said:The wall does cut into their territory. But what exactly is their territory is yet to truly be defined and agreed upon. That is part of the problem with the wall as the arabs say that Israel is using the wall to define the territory.
i dont know how you can pick a "worst" part of israels disgusting opression of the palestinians, but yes, that aspect is particularly vile imo.Allon said:The worst part is when it cuts through farmland so palestinians who have a field they need to harvest, when part of it is on the other side of the wall have to travel to the nearest checkpoint, wait for hours and get searched as well as get a permit to enter Israel b4 this, and then travel back to their field on the other side of the wall, and then return home at the end of the day... imagine it, it sucks, as well as the humiliation.

i dont like it when people brush off injustice like that by shrugging and saying that it is "life". violent and sadistic tendancies exist in all of us, so when someone goes out and kills someone else, we dont shrug it off and say "eh, thats life" - we find the perpetrator, and in a socially responsible manner, deal with the situation for the betterment of all. the fact of the matter here is that the placement of the wall has much much less to do with terrain and ease of building, than it does with grabbing hundreds of square kilometers of palestinian land. anyone who buys that "its easier to build there" excuse is either in denial, stupid, or going along with the plot. besides, the wall is illegal, why should anyone care if the wall is easier or harder to build, given taht israel doesnt have the right to build it in the first place.Allon said:The reason the wall is built in some of these places is often due to the fact that if the wall is built in a certain place and to continue it you have to go around a certain area makes it much less practicle to build it as well as making it close to Israeli settlements.

oh fuck off. "grow up" my fucking ass. do you think that the palestinian people are collectively stupid, and live only to blow themselves up taking as many jews with them as possible? what a fucking stupid comment. it defies logic, and common sense. lets get is straight- PEOPLE ARE SO ANGRY AS TO PREFER TO DIE IN AN EXPLOSION IN THE PRIME OF THEIR LIVES, RATHER THAN GO ON LIVING AS THEY HAVE. it is not rational to say that the palestinian collective should "grow up" - rather, you have to step back and say "why are these people so angry that they are willing to die to kill us?"Allon said:All in all, the majority of Israeli's (including myself at times) feel that the palestinians are the ones who caused us to build it. until they "grow up" and accept Israels superiority and right to exist, they are sealing their own fate behind this wall apart from any other inconveniance that their people are going through.
ah, no. what youre seeing is called "maneuvering". while israel maintains its policies, this will never, ever stop. to many people have died, too many blood feuds have been lit. i would be shit scared of the palestinians if i were a jew, because those mofos are brave, in the right, uncaring of their lives, and perfectly liable to detonate a WMD in israel if they can.Allon said:Hey, they had a democratic election this week, the first arab state ever to do this, so maybe there is hope?

Allon said:Well, actually if you have no place to go and something like the holocast happens then yes, most people would be very aggresive about finding a place to live with security. I have no issue with that and I don't care about history and who Israel/palestine belonged to before then. It is controlled by Israel now. Palestinians need to "grow up" and swallow their pride and accept the reality. It is the only way anything positive will start to happen for them.
Israel are definitely terrorists. I agree with that. Actually, if it was reversed and we were the one to be the weaker, I am sure we would be much more resourcefull and evil than them with our terror tactics. But we have an army and we leave the unofficial "terror" to them.
I am definitely for giving up the territories and taking down the wall. I hate settlers more than I hate palestinian terrorists. The army is made of people, some of which are trigger happy for sure... It is a horrible situation. But for someone in snuggly canada or safe australia to think they can judge Israels situation or be self righteous about it is a bit ridiculous for us Israeli's. You cannot compare our situation to anyones and we are looking for peace. Not for escalation.
The way I see it, is that the palestinians are digging their own hole. They are up against a despearte enemy who are backed to a wall. We take our countries security very seriously and will not risk that for anything. They need to realize this.
We off course have things that we need to realize and change also.
But this thread is about the wall. And I explained my view on that in my first post here.
no, i understood it quite well, i can assure you. what you might perhaps consider is that it is difficult to see what is what when youre the one in the bubble - while you are "as far left as you get when it comes to Israeli's", you are not as far left as truly objective observers (like me, in far away australiaAllon said:Golden delicious...
You obviously did not really understand what I was writing. If you had any realistic sense about this or any situation, you would realize that I am about as far left as you get when it comes to Israeli's. Yet my whole post you treat as a fascistic, immoral, insensitive statement. You read it how you wanted to hear it but thats fine...
well, it seems taht for some reason or other, they were not willing to accept the deal. possible reasons for this are obvious (and please, lets not describe the entire palestinian populace as being stupid bloodthirsty suicide bombers) but logically, the two taht come to the surface are 1) the deals that israel came up with were not favorable to the palestinians, and 2) there is too much hate/righteous resentment built up in the minds of the palestinians, making them less susceptable to compromise.Allon said:It is life. Palestinians have been offered many peace deals by Israel and instead of accepting anything, they say no... we will kill you.
put up with? what do you mean, put up with?Allon said:No other country would put up with what Israel puts up with, but it is easy for you to talk from Australia... Why don't you go back to England or Ireland and give it back to the aborigani's? I will tell you why. Because thats life. It is too late for that now. It makes no sense to do it at this point. Even though it would be just.
wait wait wait wait hang on, hang on. excuse me? you cant do the right thing because you dont have anywhere to go? you mean, the founding of the israeli state in the middle of arab territory because jews, as a group, had "nowhere else to go" (where the fuck did you guys live before that? in the clouds?) is justification for illegal, immoral, inhumane action?Allon said:Jews on the other hand didn't come from somewhere else and take palestine. We have nowhere to go back to...
look i dont know who dirk howat is, and so i agree, replying to him would be a waste of timeAllon said:Anyway, you didn't want to hear the honest opinion of an Israeli, you just wanted to give a righteous speech about how bad Israel is... I think you may be a bit naive.
I am not even gonna waste my time replying to Dirk Howat.
Allon said:Goldendelicious and blue peter. If you were to come to Israel you would see things differently probably.
Goldendelicious. You are naive and aggressive in your posts. You are self righteous and misinformed. You have no grasp of reality. LOL, you obviously have lived a real cushioned existense with no real dangers or paranioa about the future of your people.
I wish all people were like you. There would be no wars. But they are not like you, and therefore if Israeli's/Jews were to see things the way you do, we would be extinct.
Go take a walk through Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq. Tell me after that, that Israel have nothing to be worried about and should see things the way you do.
Anyway, really, I only answered on this thread as I thought an Israeli's point of view of the wall would be interesting to the thinkers here. Not to defend it or anything about Israel, just to show my point of view.
Pick a fight with some else if that is what you are looking for. There are many "causes" out there. Are you a vegetarian?
bluepeter said:I was interested to see an Israeli's point of view. Always appreciate different viewpoints.
Allon said:Cool, that comment was actually directed to GD.
I really think you would see things differently if you came to Israel Bluepeter. It is a small country. from Tel aviv to the wall is a 30 minute drive. Tel aviv is on the coast...
bluepeter said:I'm sure I would. At the same time, I might also see things differently yet again if I spent some time in the Palestinian territory. It's all relative.
Allon said:LOL, ok you got me there, good point.
I really do see their side of it. I just don't not see the Israeli side of it either... I am full of contradictions.![]()
All in all I do think Israel needs to leave the victim mindest in order to be able to deal with this situation, still doesn't mean I don't think that palestinian government doesn't need to change the goals and tactics. The wall is Israels dramatic answer at this moment to the escalted violence and won't go down for some time unfortunately.

as to your comment that i have lived a sheltered life, well, in many ways i have - as do most people that have access to a computer and clean water. that doesnt mean that my opinion is worthless, however, nor does it mean that i am far from the truth.
something that i have often thought of in the israeli/palestinian conflict, though - and seems to pop up everytime someone says "why dont the palestinians just get over it" or similar - why is it that the jews need their own state anyway? i mean, they were dispersed throughout the world and seemed to be doing fine (apart form pissing off hitler, who tried to kill them all) - i mean, its double edged - firstly, there is no real need for a state called Israel to exist. jews seem quite happy living in other places, and so logically, assimilation into other peoples, or merely living amongst other peoples as a seperate culture seems to be a conflict-free way to do it, and secondly, if jews are so quick to say to palestinians "why dont you accept that we are superior" etc etc....well then, why did they not do the same before 1920, and just accept that the land formerly known as israel was lost?
anyway, truth be told, im just sick of the pro israeli spin i see everywhere. if you say something bad about a jew, youre anti-semitic. jewish soldiers always fight palestinian 'gunmen'. examples are everywhere, and people are buying it. pisses me off.

i have nothing to do with the conflict, though - i really dont win or lose despite who wins. i can, however, see the difference between right and wrong, justice and injustice - and the palestinians are being screwed big time by the jews.
as per your karma message, i think it important to realise taht not agreeing with jewish policy does not make you anti-semitic. it just means that you do not agree with their policy - and israel has many, many hateful policies that they use towards the palestinians

really?Allon said:I can tell you all with complete confidence that Israel DESPERATELY wants the palesinians eduaction system to be as good as it can. Intelligence leads to moderate views and realistic actions. Plus, the more educated they are the harder it will be for their government to fuck em over, which they are doing.
well, the israelis are stealing their houses, their land, driving armored bulldozers through their nieghbourhoods with people still inside, attacking protestors with helicopters firing rockets...generally doing things to them taht are so terrible as to make many of them think that suicide on a bus full of israelis is a damn good idea...if i had to take a stab in the dark as to who was really, really fucking them over...id have to say...israel.Allon said:I really don't think the palestinian people are so bad... Just their leaders. Who fucked up their education system? Not us. Come on, Arafat had billions of dollars put away in private bank accounts. What about the palestinian people??? Who is the one who is actually fucking them over?
i do. its your turn to not only look at them, but accept them for what they are.Allon said:Look at the facts.
no, having a discussion with a person over the internet who has thought enough about the matter as to be ready to discuss the need for a physical state of israel, as opposed to it existing as a transient nation immersed within the borders of other nations, doesnt mean that youre talking to someone who has no clue. it means youre talking to someone who can think past the "palestinian have bomb, palestinian BAD!" caveman mentality that you seem to embrace, and use as the justification for the barbarity committed by your nation.Allon said:Arafat, Jordan, Syria. They are using them as puppets to get at Israel.
That is the heart of the problem if anything is. Off course we play a part and some of our policies have to be changed, but to say Israel hasn't tried, or should not exist, just shows me that I am discussing this with people who have no clue.
remember my other post about a persons ability to perceive their own naivety? reread it. apply it to this last statement. come back and talk to me after that.Allon said:Get it straight. Read my posts and see the fact I understand their side much more than you give me credit for.

Breeze said:I know this sounds pretty bad, but I don't think the Iraeli/ Palestinian conflict will be solved until somebody nukes the whole region or god himself comes down from heaven and tells everybody what he thinks they should do. I think Israel wouldn't mind living in peace but it seems like the Palestinians have "destroy Israel" etched into their DNA. Ending "Jihad" would be like taking away football and Nascar in America. I think building the wall is a good idea, I'm sure lots of people in the Southern US wouldn't mind having one on our border but at least people who cross our borders don't detonate themselves on buses and in shopping malls. If they did, we would be less tolerant about it than Israel. I would imagine that the majority of Israelis know at least one person who has been injured or killed by a Palestinian homicide bomber. I think separating the 2 sides has a much better chance of improving the situation than ending their hatred for one another, that would take generations. I really don't care what Israel or Palestine do, but I realize that if they ever had all out war, especially nuclear war, we would almost certainly be drug into WW 3 and I do care about that.

How about if Canada suddenly moved in and took over 90% of the US and gave you curfews and basically controlled everything you did and or said. Would you be pissed?

OK, and when you started your little resistance/protests, how about if those nasty Canadians started shooting you? Doing daily sweeps to pick up any possible dissenters?

All of them are under oppressive dictators, all of them could use your vocal support. Yet not a peep about these locked down folks. Not a fucking word. Why??? Cause the issue is not as sexy; no mean jews are there to point a fickle finger at.
Israel is a democracy surrounded by peeps who want to push them into the sea. Why those on the left are so for this is beyond me...
Breeze said:You have a good point, I am not pro Israel by any means. I'm just sick of the whole situation and am not optimist about anything being worked out anytime soon. As an American of Scottish descent I do not have much in common with either side, ethnically or religiously, and if it weren't for the possibility that some Islamic wacko's will get nuclear weapons I probably wouldn't be overly concerned over a situation that I have no control over. If any number of Muslim countries or groups had the means they would nuke Israel in a heartbeat. Then, as always, we would get right in the middle of it and we would have WW3, or maybe even Armagaedon on our hands. I know both sides have done some pretty vile things to one another, and I realize the Palestinians cannot win in a head on military confrontation, but randomly murdering women and children is inexcusable and cowardly. From what I've observed, it seems that if the Palestinians would stop sending exploding humans into Israel, maybe Israel would stop sending tanks and helicoptors. I've heard people who accuse the US of intentionally killing civilians in the Middle East as a way to justify 9/11, as if you can compare the Trade Center attack to one of our bombs straying off and hitting an unintented target, or killing noncombatants because one of their family members is shooting at our troops through the front door of their home. Until Fallujah, we were having soldiers killed by gunmen shooting from Mosques, because gunmen knew we wouldn't dare attack a holy place. I guess we decided that if they weren't going to respect their own mosques and use them as battle stations then they would be fair targets, now Fallujah has fewer mosques. Israel could destroy Palestine in a day if they wanted to, and we could wipe out the Middle East if we did not show constaint. I doubt if Middle Eastern countries with nukes would hesitate for one moment to use them.
