27. I think my time spent living under Israeli occupation in the WB and Gaza more than qualifies me
Edited on Wed Nov-11-09 03:29 PM by ProgressiveMuslim
to have a very clear opinion on how to oppose a violent military occupation.

And frankly, I never made ANY demands, believing it's up to Palestinians to negotiate. I've never advocated for anything more than '67 borders, East Jerusalem as the capital of thes state, with negotiated settlements for refugees' claims. Married to a refugee, I've stated here that we have NO DESIRE WHATSOEVER to return to Isdud (Ashdod) and would never pursue our claim.

Given Israel's course, that 2-state seems increasingly unlikely. If there is to be one state, then human rights and democracy should be conferred upon all under Israel's dominion, not only Jewish Israelis.

So, Magistrate, you don't know what you're talking about. I'll be happy to accept your apology for mischaracterizing my position.
