Not taking land in the West Bank is now land/governance appeasement? Weren't you making some argument in this thread about how West Bank wasn't getting shit on by Isreal because they were behaving and Gaza was all Hamas' fault?

Nah, leftist media is practically rabid for anything anti-Israel. This land grab was front page headline CNN news for a few hours yesterday. It is basically "punishment" for the murder of those three teens that Hamas fervently denied killing throughout this whole conflict (claiming Israel was using it as pretext), but the cat was let out of the bag a few weeks ago when one of Hamas' leadership accidentally admitted that they did it on Palestinian TV.

Honestly you'd have more credibility if you just called a spade a spade. I haven't seen any real justification for why they are grabbing this land. Was the land used for terrorist attacks against Israel? Or is it just opportunism?

West Bank doesn't get shit on from military incursions, airstrikes, and ground ops because they don't launch rockets or stage suicide bombings, though ironically the latter is more of a result of the security barrier than any lack of desire on Hamas' part. In regards to the West Bank being punished for Hamas' acts, well one, Hamas and Fatah announced a reconciliation to form a unity coalition, and 2nd the teens were found dead in the West Bank. Fatah allows Hamas (and Islamic Jihad) to operate in the West Bank and happily cheered along at the kidnapping/murder. The entire kidnapping operation was staged out of the West Bank.

They took some suburbs land, which is consistent to what they've been doing in the West Bank, building suburb communities and denying Palestinians travel within the West Bank with highways they can't use continuing an apparent strategy of bisecting the West Bank to try and diminish the culture/will of that group of Palestinians. Bisecting the West Bank into quadrants with highways Palestinians can't use is kinda obvious what they are doing.

I am calling a spade a spade. It's a dumb move no matter how you look at it. From a PR standpoint it's dumb-- trading 1.5 miles of land for negative publicity doesn't make sense, and the marginal security it provides still isn't worth it. In terms of "retribution" for the killing of the teens, it also doesn't accomplish anything that balances the "gains". It's 1.5 shitty miles of land.. I'm just saying that no matter what Israel does, they'll get condemned anyways, and they're mostly at wits end over armchair generals all over the world giving them shit no matter what they do.

Opinion/rhetoric portions of the article aside, here are some factual details on that particular parcel of land. I still think the move was dumb, buying marginal security in exchange for a larger loss in PR, but this particular area isn't some Pally owned enclave being 'dozed.

Neither are audiences informed that the land in question is located in Area C which, according to the terms of the Oslo Accords signed willingly by the internationally recognized representatives of the Palestinian people, is under Israeli administration with that including zoning and planning. The fact that those same Oslo Accords do not place any limitations on either Israeli or Palestinian building projects in Areas A, B and C is also not clarified to readers. Likewise, BBC audiences are not made aware of the fact that the area in question is part of the Gush Etzion district which, according to any realistic scenario of an agreement between Israel and the PA, would remain under Israeli control ? as previous attempts to reach a negotiated settlement have shown.

One is that it is just south of Jerusalem and requires no great manipulation of the map. It guards the southern flank of Israel?s capital and the area containing 22 Jewish communities with over 70,000 living there can be retained while leaving Bethlehem inside a putative Palestinian state.
But this land is also significant because, contrary to the narrative in which Jews are portrayed as ?stealing? Arab land, Gush Etzion was actually populated and owned by Jews not only prior to 1967 but also prior to Israel?s War of Independence. Gush Etzion was a bloc of Jewish settlements that was overrun by Jordanian army units and local Palestinians after a bitterly contested siege. Its inhabitants were either massacred or taken prisoner and their homes and farms destroyed. As such, it was the first land to be reclaimed for Jewish settlement after the 1967 war put it back in Israeli hands.

Retard, what's the confusion? Is it ok for a mob to take justice into their own hands and beat a suspected terrorist? No, it isn't. Is it understandable considering the circumstances? Yes, it is. You're the moron who made the bold and unfounded feelz statement that it was racially motivated. And of course Netenyahu is going to condemn it-- that's what responsible governments do when addressing incidents of mob justice.
But I'm sure it's typical of you to focus on the tragedy that was an innocent accidentally getting killed in a firefight, and the guilt/racism of his supposed attackers, rather than focusing on the terrorists that precipitated the whole tragedy in the first place.

And why did they think he was the bad guy? He wasn't armed and he wasn't even Arab. They simply assumed he must me bad because he was black. I mean, there was ten white people wounded on the ground that didnt get mobbed.
The fact is, they thought he was the bad guy because the xenophobic nationalism in Israel has gotten to the point that see anyone who looks remotely different as "the enemy" now. Black people are the enemy. Hispanics are the enemy. Asians are the enemy. Fucking Europe is the enemy. To them, literally even non-Jew on the planet with the possible exception of white people in the US and Canada are the enemy.

You are a fucking idiot.
This was obviously a case of mistaken identity and sucks that an innocent got killed. Yet it clearly was a mistake and isn't some universal xenophobic nationalism in Israel. Get a fucking grip.
