Why Isn't Israel A Part Of The Peace Negotiations?

[gab13by13]

My answer; because Iran and Israel wouldn't agree whether it was day or night.

Israel wants more land: Gaza, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon. it doesn't want peace.

It took President Obama and numerous other nations almost 2 years to come up with a peace plan. Iran's uranium enrichment was subject to unannounced inspections and the Strait of Hormuz was open to everyone. Krasnov succeeded in making Iran relevant in the world, no way in hell will Iran give up control of Hormuz. Everything Krasnov touches dies.

1. Your answer is correct. And more importantly, Israel wants control of all the water in those areas fror themselves n/t

4. Israel has zero claim on the waters. I've never heard this.

5. "waters"?

Are you thinking of, like, the Straits of Hormuz?

Generally, in English, "waters" refers to bodies of water.

The poster whose analysis you are challenging said "water." That word, in that construction, generally means "the stuff people drink and put on plants."

Just curious whether you and the poster to whom you responded are on the same page.

Because I'm thinking the other poster was talking about a desire on the part of Israel to control the fresh water in the region.

Also, are you sure that the fact that you've not heard of something is dispositive?

7. Exactly what I meant. Its not news that their "settlements" usually go right on top of wells and they cut those wells

off to surrounding areas that may have had access for decades.

6. I meant water as in for living and agriculture. Not costal waters. And they have and will claim every bit they can

Water is the the rarest resource in the area, especially with increasing population pressure on the finite sources. Water wars in this part of the Middle East are nothing new. Whomever controls it controls the entire area. Israel has no legitimate claim on the water resources in the West Bank, Gaza or Southern Lebanon, but you can be damn sure they're taking it and controlling it making sure their illegal settlements get it first. That is not antisemitism in its point. It's anti fascist.

2. Because Netanyahu (and Chump) are war criminals

doing war things so they don't have to face justice in their own countries.

3. I remember when DU was run by Skinner and everything about Israel and Palestine was forbidden

At least that is how I remember it. It would go to the dungeon or some such

Nice to have dialogue about it now
