They (Hamas and the PLO) can try to act as helpless as possible but the best they could argue at that point is they have a border dispute going on with Israel. They're sovereign at that point and Israel is done with them.

There are lots of border disputes in the world but no one says anyone is occupying other states due to that.

Seems you just can't let go of the occupation - even when Israel ends it. Don't you have other hobbies other than obsessing with what the Jewish state does?

I think that some pressure would be needed to convince Israel to give up all lands occupied since Little Tich May 2016 #11

There needs to be pressure on the PA/Hamas, not Israel... shira May 2016 #12

How would pressuring the Palestinians result in a viable two-state solution? n/t Little Tich May 2016 #18

Your fantasies about what a two-state solution would look like aren't connected to reality. Little Tich May 2016 #25

Maybe you should advise Abbas not to agree to land swaps. shira May 2016 #28

The current situation in Gaza for example is not occupation by any definition. shira May 2016 #27

Gaza is still legally under occupation by Israel, and the people there are still under Israeli Little Tich May 2016 #29

No it's not. Look up the definition & you'll see Gaza is not occupation. shira May 2016 #30
