  1. Yurivu you dispose yourself as madam Ignoramus. There is no good understanding of terrroristm. The definition is: “Terrorism (from the Latin word terror, panic) is the commission of serious violence, or serious threat thereof, WITHOUT LAWFUL GROUNDS, for a political or religious purpose. In most understandings of what terrorism is, it must involve illegal violence, usually linked to civilians and victims. This means that Hamas is not a terrorist organization but a resistance movement that even has the right to use violence. Israël, together with the US are the terrorists because the occupation is not a legal ground.

  2. I don't believe the attack on the aid workers from World Central Kitchen was unintentional. That is very naive. It is also naive to mark their vehicle as such.

  13. The Berlin Conference took place from November 15, 1884 to February 26, 1885, in which Africa was divided among the European powers. Without one African present and without consuling the African people. Thus without their consent. This is called colonization. The same goes for other people to decide over the territory of Palestine without the consent of the people, as in 1917 by the British Crown, is called colonization. The International Community (UN) does not have the right to constitute a new state (Israel) on other peoples land (Palestine). This follows from the one page November 2nd 1917 Balfour Declaration on behalf of the British Crown.

  14. Israel has no right to exist on other people's land. This follows from the November 2nd 1917 Balfour Declartation. When you read the one page carefully. It states the conditions by the British Crown under which the refugee jews were allowed to live in Palestine. One of the conditions is “‘that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-jewish communities in Palestine”. Consistently violated.

  15. The Palestinian people or Palestinians are the descendants of the inhabitants of the area known as 'Historic Palestine'. The Palestinians have a fascinating Arab culture.

  17. Thank you Meital Yaniv. As a lawyer with blond hear and blue eyes I stand with the Arab Palestinian people. The one page Balfour Declaration 1917 explains it all. Everybody can live in peace in the territory Palestine, as it was before 1948. God bless you.

It states the conditions by the British Crown under which the refugee jews were allowed to live in Palestine.

  28.  @Dan0948  I talk about what you say: "It's like an arsonist complaining they got burned when they tried to start a fire." And I asked you "make yourself clear". Is that French to you? Explain what you mean to say, and who is 'they'? By the way, watch your language, if you can not communicate respectful, i'm not interested.

  31. I do not need to hear this, Biden has no balls. Nor do the weak American people have. If you want me to explain, I will, but it will be insulting and degrading. All this gives way to other criminal peope and groups who learn that America has no values. There is no justice unless you take it, and thar is right.

  33. I have been waiting to see your post agian, so I can copy and past it to my spreadsheet with (important) comments. Thank you very much. I hope you're okay that I will study it more. I often mentioned only Sabra en Shatila because I remember that. Thank you again.

  34. Because the colonists are robbing Africa of its natural resources, it is not irrational for Africans to come to Europe.

  38.  @evelyndominguez4757  Yes, also interesting is to understand the Chinese good and lovely people. Xi has a huge responsability because the population is huge. Read The Governance of China, Xi Jinping, Volume IV. It's very clarifying.

  39.  @four4eyes  I had two nephews who lived their lives in Cananda. As soon as they emigrated to Canada they never came back to the Netherlands. Maybe just for a short visit in out tiny little country. About the US. We have a saying: 'De soep wordt niet zo heet gegeten als die wordt opgediend. The soup is not eaten as hot as it is served." Things do not look good for the US because they are losing power and they will have to face BRICS. The solution to difficulties should not always be sought in power and superiority. China understands that very well and so does Putin. Cooperation and adaptation take a state further than simply imposing sanctions. That creates enemies. Read for example: The Governance of China by Xi Jinping, Volume IV. In my view it is mostly common sense. The US still needs to learn to cooperate.

  40. Katherine Gallagher is right. Of course, the three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court holding that courts cannot review executive branch foreign policy decisions even when there is a risk of violating domestic and international laws is wrong and unwise. They don't even understand their own function. From this I conclude that they are complicit and have been bribed. Besides, most lawyers are liars. Don't respect them.
