So why is Israel still militarily occupying the West Bank and keeping millions of Palestinians under bayonet rule?
With all the excuses you make for the occupation (some valid for why it took place) you still have not come out and said when Israel should be taking their army home....
[JERUSALEM
Under a torrent of criticism from his right-wing party, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon uttered words Monday that few fellow Israelis ever expected to hear from the battle-hardened political hawk: The nation must end its occupation of Palestinian lands.
"It is not possible to continue holding 3 1/2 million people under occupation," Sharon told an assembly of enraged lawmakers from his Likud Party. "You may not like the word, but what's happening is occupation. This is a terrible thing for Israel, for the Palestinians and for the Israeli economy."
The foray into peace rhetoric came one day after Sharon coaxed the Israeli Cabinet to endorse a U.S.-backed peace plan calling for the creation of a Palestinian state.]

I do read passages where Paul and the other Apostles say that the Gospel is for the Jews first and then the Gentiles. So that would seem to show that even after Christ died and rose again, there was still some preference for the chosen people. I agree that they need to repent and accept Christ... but I disagree with the idea that God has turned His back on the Jews, and all His promises for them are now void or transferred.

You are totally not antisemitic... but somehow an occupation is only bad when the Jews do it.
Also an interesting note is that the British and Jewish are the only ones who have ever tried to give the Arabs their own state in the region... but it has been rejected over and over because those Arabs refuse to allow the Jews to live alongside them.

The Jews have a State...its in Green
Why are the continuing to occupy the Palestinian area and deny them a State?
I have also always said occupations are bad...when the US does it, with Jews do it, when Arabs do it, with Russia does it, etc.
Why do you continue to see the Israelis as the problem? The problems are still around when the Jews occupy Gaza, when the Egyptians occupy Gaza, when no one occupies Gaza.... maybe the problem is the people who live in Gaza??? Maybe??

No one forgot anything.
Its been a constant conflict since 1948 (really it began even earlier with the first Zionist settlements before that)
[From 1897 to 1948, the primary goal of the Zionist movement was to establish the basis for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and thereafter to consolidate it.]
But just like the Irish & British tit for tat violence we have to ask when it will end.
Eventually the British gave the Irish a State (at least of some kind)....when will Israel pull out of the West Bank and give the Palestinians a State?
Do you seriously not know this?
Come on bud
Israel has also NOT wanted to create a real Palestinian State...they have avoided the issue for decades kicking the can down the road.
(Mainly because they want the West Bank..for strategic reasons and for settlement)
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/05/palestine-israel-icc-norway-ireland-spain-gaza-netanyahu-un.html
[Israel and its allies have long held that a Palestinian state, if one is formed at all, must be the result of negotiations between Israel and Palestinians, most likely the final result and reward of a peaceful settlement. As long as Israel at least paid lip service to the idea of a two-state solution, many countries patiently awaited the results of such negotiationsor, to describe the situation more accurately, they passively ignored that such negotiations weren't happening.
Now, however, the truth can no longer be avoided, nor can the urgency for a cease-fire and at least some movement toward a grand peace. Netanyahu has publicly proclaimed, several times, that he will not accept a Palestinian state. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, though a critic of the prime minister's war policy on some grounds, was recently captured on tape saying the same thing.
Saudi Arabia's rulers desperately want to "normalize" relations with Israel, which they see as a potent ally in their larger rivalry with Iran, but they demand that Israel at least pretend to support the idea of resuming negotiations toward a two-state solution. This is a very low bar, but Netanyahu refuses to clear even that. In part this is because he fears that if he did so, some of his coalition partners would resign, forcing new elections, which he would almost certainly lose. (If just five members of his coalition quit, his majority in parliament would vanish.) But as the Gallant tape indicates, top Israeli officials also oppose a two-state solution]

I do read passages where Paul and the other Apostles say that the Gospel is for the Jews first and then the Gentiles. So that would seem to show that even after Christ died and rose again, there was still some preference for the chosen people. I agree that they need to repent and accept Christ... but I disagree with the idea that God has turned His back on the Jews, and all His promises for them are now void or transferred.
Galatians 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

[JERUSALEM
Under a torrent of criticism from his right-wing party, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon uttered words Monday that few fellow Israelis ever expected to hear from the battle-hardened political hawk: The nation must end its occupation of Palestinian lands.
"It is not possible to continue holding 3 1/2 million people under occupation," Sharon told an assembly of enraged lawmakers from his Likud Party. "You may not like the word, but what's happening is occupation. This is a terrible thing for Israel, for the Palestinians and for the Israeli economy."
The foray into peace rhetoric came one day after Sharon coaxed the Israeli Cabinet to endorse a U.S.-backed peace plan calling for the creation of a Palestinian state.]
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-may-27-fg-mideast27-story.html
Palestinians joined in those wars.
The occupation will not end until Palestine can prove it truly wants lasting peace. I believe that will be never.
Sharon was making the point - as he often did - that neither the status quo or Israel walking away were tenable. But until there is a real solution, Israel will stay. A strong majority of Palestine wants Israel wiped off the map. Until that changes, nothing changes.

How many peace offers have been made by Hamas?
How many peace offers have been made by Israel?
Neither side seems to want peace...at least not peace that is not on their terms.
[In the quarter century since Israelis and Palestinians first started negotiating under US auspices in 1991, there has been no shortage of explanations for why each particular round of talks failed. The rationalizations appear and reappear in the speeches of presidents, the reports of thinktanks and the memoirs of former officials and negotiators: bad timing; artificial deadlines; insufficient preparation; scant attention from the US president; want of support from regional states; inadequate confidence-building measures; coalition politics; or leaders devoid of courage...
The Palestinians chose no agreement over one that did not meet the bare minimum supported by international law and most nations of the world. For years this consensus view supported the establishment of a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 lines with minor, equivalent land swaps that would allow Israel to annex some settlements. The Palestinian capital would be in East Jerusalem, with sovereignty over the holy site known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary or al-Aqsa mosque compound, and overland contiguity with the rest of the Palestinian state. Israel would withdraw its forces from the West Bank and release Palestinian prisoners. And Palestinian refugees would be offered compensation, a right to return not to their homes but to their homeland in the State of Palestine, acknowledgment of Israel's partial responsibility for the refugee problem, and, on a scale that would not perceptibly change Israel's demography, a return of some refugees to their pre-1948 lands and homes.
Israel, for its part, has consistently opted for stalemate rather than the sort of agreement outlined above. The reason is obvious: the deal's cost is much higher than the cost of making no deal. The damages Israel would risk incurring through such an accord are massive. They include perhaps the greatest political upheaval in the country's history; enormous demonstrations against if not majority rejection of Palestinian sovereignty in Jerusalem and over the Temple Mount/Noble Sanctuary; and violent rebellion by some Jewish settlers and their supporters.
There could also be bloodshed during forcible evacuations of West Bank settlements and rifts within the body implementing the evictions, the Israeli army, whose share of religious infantry officers now surpasses one third. Israel would lose military control over the West Bank]

They are not as bad as Hamas…but they are certainly no Boy Scouts
They have been waging a pretty ruthless war against the Arabs in the area since 1948…all to create an ethnic-Jewish homeland.
As is often the case, you ignore who started all these wars and battles.
Come on now...its been a tit for tat conflict over there since 1948
(PS its also not our problem)
Starting three wars and multiple intifadas . . . Not tit for tat.
Obviously the Palestinians would view a 60 year occupation of the West Bank...their country (and Gaza until 2005) as a provocation and illegal act.

How many peace offers have been made by Israel?
Neither side seems to want peace...at least not peace that is not on their terms.
[In the quarter century since Israelis and Palestinians first started negotiating under US auspices in 1991, there has been no shortage of explanations for why each particular round of talks failed. The rationalizations appear and reappear in the speeches of presidents, the reports of thinktanks and the memoirs of former officials and negotiators: bad timing; artificial deadlines; insufficient preparation; scant attention from the US president; want of support from regional states; inadequate confidence-building measures; coalition politics; or leaders devoid of courage...
The Palestinians chose no agreement over one that did not meet the bare minimum supported by international law and most nations of the world. For years this consensus view supported the establishment of a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 lines with minor, equivalent land swaps that would allow Israel to annex some settlements. The Palestinian capital would be in East Jerusalem, with sovereignty over the holy site known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary or al-Aqsa mosque compound, and overland contiguity with the rest of the Palestinian state. Israel would withdraw its forces from the West Bank and release Palestinian prisoners. And Palestinian refugees would be offered compensation, a right to return not to their homes but to their homeland in the State of Palestine, acknowledgment of Israel's partial responsibility for the refugee problem, and, on a scale that would not perceptibly change Israel's demography, a return of some refugees to their pre-1948 lands and homes.
Israel, for its part, has consistently opted for stalemate rather than the sort of agreement outlined above. The reason is obvious: the deal's cost is much higher than the cost of making no deal. The damages Israel would risk incurring through such an accord are massive. They include perhaps the greatest political upheaval in the country's history; enormous demonstrations against if not majority rejection of Palestinian sovereignty in Jerusalem and over the Temple Mount/Noble Sanctuary; and violent rebellion by some Jewish settlers and their supporters.

The Palestinian Jews said yes, the Arabs said no.
Two: On Nov. 7, 1947, the United Nations voted to create two states. The Palestinian Jews (who changed their name to Israelis) said yes, the Palestinian Arabs said no.
Three: After the Six Day War In 1967, Israel wanted to return the captured lands to Egypt and Jordan or to the Palestinian Arabs. The Arab league met in Sudan and said: "No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel." In other words, the Arabs said no.
Four: In 2000, then-Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak offered all of Gaza and 94 per cent of the West Bank with East Jerusalem as its capital to Yasser Arafat. Arafat said no.
Five: In 2008, the prime minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, added additional land to the previous offer of 2000. Mahmoud Abbas said no. History shows that each time Israel has agreed to offering land for peace, the Palestinian Arabs have rejected the offers.
Six: The one time, in 2005, when Israel unilaterally left Gaza to the Palestinian Arabs. The terrorists took control and turned it into a base from which thousands of rockets have been fired into Israel up to, and including, the present day. Trading land for peace didn't work.
