Comments by "Kenneth Hammond" (@kennethhammond6683) on "Palestinian gunman kills two Israelis in West Bank as officials meet in Jordan to lower tensions" video.
@archit2894 Resisting an illegal occupation is not terrorism, its a right recognised in law.

There is good reason why the Geneva conventions forbids transferring the occupiers civilian population into occupied territory, it's a war zone and extremely dangerous, costing the lives of those transferred.

UNSC Resolution 446, concerned the issue of Israeli settlements in the "Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including Jerusalem".This refers to the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip as well as the Syrian Golan Heights. In the resolution, the Security Council determined: "that the policy and practices of Israel in establishing settlements in the Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied since 1967 have no legal validity and constitute a serious obstruction to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East".

There is however a recognised occupied dejure State called Palestine.

@itsme12994 Every time someone challenged Palestine’s statehood in any connection with a case before an international or national Court, dealing with the period prior to November of 1947, the decisions uniformly held that Palestine was a State – no “ifs, ands, buts, or maybes”.

@itsme12994 Interesting history, but Irrelevant to the UN Charter, and the legal status of the Arab Palestinian territories occupied by Israel in 1948 and in 1967, all outside the territory of the State of Israel.

Seems to me it is the Israeli's who are "crying victim" here because a single Palestinian gunman took revenge.

@itsme12994 There was certainly no illusion amongst the Palestinian people as to the ultimate intent of the zionists in the Palestinian State, and the zionist plan to violently strip the land away from the Palestinian people and expel the Palestinian people from their homeland. Little wonder the Palestinian people resisted such a plan and to their credit still do resist the zionist plan to take over Palestine and eliminate one way or another the native Palestinian people.

@srireddy4363 Nothing wrong about resisting occupation even armed resistance especially when that occupation is attempting to genocide the occupied. its a right recognised in law.

AL TAQIYA legal or Illegal under what law? All happened long before International law and the UN Charter was established, so your comment is not relevant.

@srireddy4363 The "militant/terrorist" label like the "human shield" label employed by Israel to shift the blame from the oppressor to the victim to justify its killing of innocent civilians has long been refuted as just another Israeli fallacy. It is telling that South Africa also labeled those opposed to Apartheid as militant terrorists to justify its murderous regime. International criminal law has developed two crimes against humanity for situations of systematic discrimination and repression: apartheid and persecution. Crimes against humanity stand among the most odious crimes in international law. On the basis of its research, Human Rights Watch concludes that the Israeli government has demonstrated an intent to maintain the domination of Jewish Israelis over Palestinians across Israel and the OPT. In the OPT, including East Jerusalem, that intent has been coupled with systematic oppression of Palestinians and inhumane acts committed against them. When these three elements occur together, they amount to the crime of apartheid.

@srireddy4363 You have no grasp on reality, just denial of Israeli apartheid policy along with a capacity to excuse jewish settler violence and terrorism against the un-armed Palestinian population the only militants and terrorists I can see are illegal Jewish settlers running amok setting fires, shooting civilians and incinerating small children in their beds, outside the borders of the state of Israel. Palestinian civil society will resist zionist aggression and violence for as long as it continues.Last time I counted there is around 7 million Jews and the same number of Palestinians living between the river and the sea, you are going to have to commit a lot more acts of terrorism against civilians before it hinders Palestines resolve to resist. It will be a long, long time before Israeli's will be free of the anxiety from all forms of Palestinian resistance, threats of death will never deter a people striving for their freedom from oppression. “Palestine's Arabs will not sell their hopes, not for any kind of sweet words or tasty morsels, because they are not a rabble but a nation.” -:Zeev Jabotinsky, founding father of revisionist zionism clearly understood the Palestinian National resolve a lot better than you do.

@srireddy4363 I see the latest expression of Jewish respect has been one of Jewish illegal settler thugs attacking aPalestinian homes in Nablus, resulting in death , is that the kind of respect you are referring to?
1
@srireddy4363 You are of course referring to the illegal jewish settler thugs who firebomb infant children while they sleep in their beds masquerading as peaceful settlers outside the territory of the state of Israel.

@srireddy4363 Well you at least got the two countries definition right, why are the Israel government forces acting outside of Israeli territory Conducting illegal military actions while supporting illegal jewish settler thuggery against the civilian population in Palestine outside the borders of the state of Israel? Resistance to such atrocious, violent government approved behaviour is perfectly legal.Jewish folk righty resisted Nazi thuggery in the Warsaw ghetto, Palestinian folk rightly resist jewish thuggery in Palestine. I have no issue with that, if you do then put a stop to Israeli government approved jewish settler thuggery in Palestine.
1
@srireddy4363 As I said resistance to illegal occupation and oppression is perfectly legal, same as Jewish folk legally resisted Nazi oppression, you seem to have a problem with ordinary folk resisting illegal jewish thuggery and oppression? Surely you are not suggesting the NAZI had a perfect right to suppress and murder those they deemed as Jewish terrorist cells in the Warsaw ghetto and Auschwitz.

@newstry Yes ,Israeli's are not exempt from receiving retaliation for their crimes. I have no sympathy whatsoever for Israeli's that murder civilians.

The Founding Father of Revisionist Zionism, Ze’ev Jabotinsky wrote this 90 years ago about the national existence of the Palestinians: "If it were possible (and I doubt this) to discuss Palestine with the Arabs of Baghdad and Mecca as if it were some kind of small, immaterial borderland, then Palestine would still remain for the Palestinians not a borderland, but their birthplace, the centre and basis of their own national existence. Therefore it would be necessary to carry on colonisation against the will of the Palestinian Arabs, which is the same condition that exists now, because they are not a rabble but a nation”.
