I am aware Gaza is now without electricity, water and gas.

I am aware not everyone there are to blame.

And I am sorry for the innocent that have to suffer.

But it is not our job to support and provide recourses to our murderers.

Israel funded Gaza for years and Hamas used that money to build weapons against us instead of rehabilitating their country.

I’ll quote Golda Meir, the fourth prime minister of Israel:

“If the Arabs lay down their arms there will be no more war. If Israel lays down its arms there will be no more state of Israel.”

Israel is willing to provide Gaza with recourses, money, and humanitarian assistance. As long as they don’t use it to massacre innocent Israeli’s once again or build weapons against us.

We tried our best to get to peace with them, but we are not the only side of the conflict.

Given that we’re getting a Golda Meir movie, I’m really not looking to people taking her statement that “there is no such a thing as a Palestinian” out of context—that context being that the Palestinian identity was mostly constructed post-the establishment of Israel and in response to it—which I personally think is a moot point now and was also largely a moot point when she said it, but it’s not the endorsement of genocide I’ve seen claimed too many times

If everyone can admit that "There was a time when Jews weren't Israelis yet" and "There was a time when Jews weren't Zionists yet" and "There was a time when Canaanite tribes weren't Jews yet," they should be able to admit that "There was a time when Arabs in Palestine didn't have a Palestinian identity yet."

There is way too much present-ism in these discussions. Distinct Palestinian identity didn't really catch on until 1970. Golda Meir was born in 1898.

"The Palestinian Arabs had at present no will of their own. Neither have they ever developed any specifically Palestinian nationalism. The demand for a separate Arab state in Palestine is consequently relatively weak. It would seem as though in existing circumstances most of the Palestinian Arabs would be quite content to be incorporated in Transjordan." --U.N. negotiator Folke Bernadotte, 1948

He was right: they were content with exactly that.

It feels, as you said, moot to even bring it up; an obsolete argument from the 1940s. Yet the whole point of Palestinism is to constantly relitigate the 1940s, so we do not have the option of leaving the actual chronology behind.

In 1937, Winston Churchill said of the Palestinians, I quote, “I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.” That set the trend for the Israeli State’s attitude towards the Palestinians. In 1969, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir said, “Palestinians do not exist.” Her successor, Prime Minister Levi Eschol said, “What are Palestinians? When I came here (to Palestine), there were 250,000 non-Jews, mainly Arabs and Bedouins. It was a desert, more than underdeveloped. Nothing.” Prime Minister Menachem Begin called Palestinians “two-legged beasts”. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir called them “grasshoppers” who could be crushed. This is the language of Heads of State, not the words of ordinary people.

Re: Golda Meir -- I was one of the two El Al 747 pilots when Golda flew to Washington to meet with Nixon after the Yom Kippur war in 1973. She and her team were on the upper deck, which was closed to other passengers who had no idea Golda was on board.

They also didn't know that this was no ordinary El Al TLV-JFK flight. We actually were going to land in DC first, deplane Golda and her team, then take off for New York.

At one point during the flight Golda came to the cockpit to say hello, which she did in her inimitable way. Holding her purse down by her side, she said, in English (someone must have tipped her off that I was American, though by then I spoke perfect Hebrew) "Hello boys, and thank you." "Thank YOU, Golda," the cockpit crew replied in unison.

Toward the end of the flight we announced to the passengers that Golda was on board and that we were going to land in Washington for a bit before heading on to New York. According to the cabin crew the passengers let out a rousing cheer and not one complained.

It was one of the great honors of my aviation career.

Proclaiming our existence, as Palestinians, as one people, nagged at the Israelis and drove them to suffer gusts of murderous exasperation. That is why Golda Meir at the time was prepared to raise very serious doubts about the professional skills of her optometrist by stating that “there is no such thing as Palestinians." For so long as we were around, saying our name over and over again, we made them responsible to history. We mocked their claims of turning desert into orchard.

I’ve never been much a fan of Israel, and I’m still not. But it really seems like a huge portion of Gaza’s population exist primarily to get killed by Israel, given the choices of their parents, leaders, etc. And I can’t really blame the Israelis for killing people like that!

It has perhaps always been this way. 50 years ago, Golda Meir wrote, “When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”

The Israelis at least attempt to look like gentlemen, and sometimes even act as such.
