“lgkick:Of course I support Israel’s right to exist but within the pre-1967 internationally recognized borders”
What nonsense is this. The only “internationally recognized” borders of Israel are those fixed by the 1947 partition of mandated Palestine.
The Palestinian leader, the Mufti, who had been a Waffen SS commander, rejected the partition and called in five Arab armies to finish the work of annihilation of Jews he had participated in the Balkans with his Muslim troops. It was the last war that Nazi soldiers, formerly under the Mufti’s command and called in from Europe, fought for their cause.
That war ended with ceasefire lines, not borders. In 1967 the Arabs got the green light from Kosygin to destroy the Jews when the Americans indicated to Kosygin they would look the other way, but the Jews struck first and the old ceasefire lines were replaced with new ceasefire lines.
Settlement by Jews within all the disputed territories, namely Judea and Samaria, is sanctioned in international law by Article 80 of the UN Charter, the constitution of that organization, and any resolution to the contrary is unconstitutional and therefore illegal. Article 80 affirms the League of Nation ratification of the Balfour Declaration which says “Jews may settle anywhere in Palestine,” as defined in the declaration.
Get some facts before you shoot off your mouth about “borders” and “international law.” No one is going back to 1947. For starters that would mean abandoning Jerusalem.
