As mentioned in my previous post, disliking the actions of Likud does not mean support for Hamas. This is not dislike of a country, a religious group nor a cultural group. Recent polls suggest that support for Likud has fallen massively in Israel, if polls are to be trusted, for the same reason. Even the USA, Israel’s staunchest uncritical supporter, seems to be losing patience.
I’m certainly not calling for the “termination” of any country, anybody wanting to return to pre1948 borders is not a “decent person” in my humble opinion.
There are many widespread issues with creating arbitrary national borders by distant countries (usually western European nations) who don’t understand the local human geography and culture, as we see in the middle east, Pakistan, Africa etc. I’m not convinced the recognition of a Palestinian state by the UN general assembly is going to do much, other than create another contentious border to fight over, while the two governments are so extreme. But that doesn’t mean I agree with the Israeli-imposed blockades and actions (against international law) over recent years against the Palestinian people.
