Everything You Need to Know About the Israeli Occupation (That Is, Everything the Left Won’t Tell You)
PJ Media ^ | 10/13/23 | Robert Spencer

There would be peace in the Middle East if Israel just ended its occupation, right?

That’s what the Squad wants you to think, anyway. The statements of the three primary members of this winsome leftist House coalition on the Hamas massacres in Israel had the distinct odor of canned talking points. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Make Mine A Double) issued a statement that said, “I condemn Hamas’ attack in the strongest possible terms.” That was a good start, but she then turned on a dime to blame it all on Israel: “No child and family should ever endure this kind of violence and fear, and this violence will not solve the ongoing oppression and occupation in the region.”

Ongoing oppression and occupation, see? If Israel would just ease up on the poor Palestinians, Hamas jihadis would all open restaurants and shops, and peace would dawn upon the region.

Not to be outdone, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) tweeted, “We know occupation and systematic apartheid are a violation of international law and it must end.” The Larry of this illustrious triumvirate (in case you’re wondering, Ilhan is Moe, the mean one, and AOC is Curly, the funny one), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah), chimed in with this: “I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day. I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity. The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.”

So all three are in agreement: Israel’s occupation is the problem. It’s a shame that we don’t have any real journalists today, because someone should ask the same question to all three of them: “If Israel is occupying Palestinian land, can you please explain the basis in international law for Palestinian ownership of this land?”

It’s all about the occupation, yeah that’s it. Yeah and if Israel was an Islamic state I’m sure the Palestinians would be reacting exactly the same, right?

Yeah, we can hope. I have my doubts though.

It’s akin to a sleazy lawyer suggesting that a rape & murder victim shouldn’t have been wearing makeup, a short dress and high heels.

“it’s called Judea...”

BHO called it The Levant which put Judea on equal footing with the rest of the trash in the region.

I recall a mild period of decent regarding this grouping.

The origins of the term is from continental Europe during the colonial expansionist period.

I have always kept Judea separate in my minď.

What part of “this is Israel’s land” is not being understood?

That’s precisely what’s being disputed — “this is Israel’s land”
