How Israelis Live So Easily With Occupation - Gideon Levy (with comment from Scott Creighton)

from Saad Tasleem


 

by Scott Creighton

Eight years ago Gideon Levy made an argument at the Oxford Union for the One State solution. In it he bases as the sole foundation of his argument the '800k settlers' who are already stealing land from the Palestinians in the West Bank because, according to Gideon eight years ago, they can NEVER be removed.

Why Gideon?

'When I steal your car I cannot put conditions on returning the car. So, give them back the car by giving them equal rights' G.L.  

What? You stole LAND. You make up for that by giving them back THEIR LAND not some random, imaginary, intangible platitude as in 'here you go, you have rights now. Now go work for settlers who stole your fucking land!' 

What Gideon is saying is 'When I steal your car I get to KEEP YOUR CAR but I tell you, you now have my respect' and then driving off saying 'sucker' under your breath.

WTF kind of sense does that make?
