And you are calling me a pedant? That accusation is the subject of this thread. Someone claimed that there have been "decades of bulldozing Palestinian homes to build Israeli ones" and I responded that no, this has never happened and can someone please show me a documented case where it has. You joined the thread. Do you have a documented case of the above? If yes, show it. If no, then you have nothing to add here.

Before you accuse me of pedantry again, I claim there is a huge moral and ethical difference between building a town on an empty hill, and building it on the smoking ruins of a destroyed village, and you (the plural you) are accusing Israel of the latter.

Whether Israel has the right to build a town on a hill according to the Geneva convention is a valid debate but way beyond the scope of this thread. Accusing Israel of building houses where it shouldn't is valid criticism. Accusing Israel of destroying other peoples' houses to build its own is blood libel.

Link 1 refers to villages depopulated in the 1948 war. In the 1948 war Israel did not conquer East Jerusalem, therefore this article does not apply here.
Link 2 refers to a legal dispute involving a single house in the Sheikh Jarrakh neighborhood of East Jerusalem. To this day this house remains populated by Arabs who are allegedly squatters on Jewish property (and this is what the court has been discussing all these years). Nothing was demolished and no one was evicted.

This story specifically deconstructs the "40 beheaded babies" allegation, it does not address anything else. I did not make this allegation. I said butchered and raped and there are hours of video footage documenting these. I will not supply you with this video documentation. If your logical conclusion to this is that this footage does not exist then don't bother replying to me.
The intent of my message was to counter the preposterous claim that "As per those borders Hamas on Oct 7 did not even enter Israel" made by "ghoul" above me. Don't change the subject.

War has consequences, man. Especially if you lose.

There is not a single Israeli settlement in Gaza, you liar.
And please explain to me why there is a land in which an Arab may build a home while a Jew may not, you racist.

Find me a documented case of Israelis bulldozing Palestinian homes to build Israeli ones. According to "skam240" this is standard practice that has been going on for decades, please name one place where this sequence of events has happened.

I think the core issue here is that you consider a Jew living in Judea to be a foreign colonizer while an Arab living in Palestine is a "local". This is where I get off, good day to you.

Is that the best you've got? This is a legal case involving an Arab family living in a house purportedly owned by Jews and refusing to pay the rent. Whatever your stance on the legal issue, it's one house. Not a village. Not a neighborhood. Not a street. Just one house in East Jerusalem.

I have issues with this claim.
First, why do you consider any territory as belonging to the Palestinians? They were offered land in the UN Partition Plan of 1947. Once they refused this and started a war for the land they basically conceded that the fate of the land would be determined by the outcome of the war. The outcome is that they lost, therefore it is not their land and it's not theirs to determine who can build what and where.
Secondly, you are basically saying that there exists a land on which Arabs may build houses but Jews may not. How do you justify this?

If there was anything systematic and happening "every time" (your words), I'm sure you could give me the name of at least one Palestinian village that has recently been depopulated and/or destroyed to make way for the expansion of a settlement.

More lies. The annexation of East Jerusalem did not result in any of its Arab population being forcefully evicted and/or replaced with Jewish homes.

You are constantly accusing me of pedantry, so let me explain.

"Israel occasionally destroys Palestinian homes" - True fact! Stating this is legitimate criticism of Israel's policies. Some could justify it, others will not. It's called debate. There is an article on Wikipedia detailing where and why Israel does this with arguments for and against.
"Israel constructs settlements" - True fact! Again, legitimate and debatable criticism.
"They do it every time. Destroy what the Palestinians built, replace them with Israeli settlers" - Twisting the truth around into a hateful narrative that ends up fueling hatred for Jews worldwide, ending up with people getting hurt - even though Israel does not do this, and your examples fail to convince me. None of your examples are anything near the wholesale systematic population replacement you are accusing Israel of.
Do you see the difference here? Do you still think I'm being pedantic?

Why, Mr. Naz? Nice username. Is that the kind of stuff you like to watch? You can conduct your own research and search Telegram for the hours of footage taken by the Hamas terrorists' own bodycams. You can also google "proof hamas rape" and if the UN, Al Jazeera, Guardian, Washington Post and the BBC all confirm that they have seen convincing evidence, then you can be pretty damn sure that the evidence is undeniable.

You know nothing of the region's history. Palestinians (long before they even called themselves that) have been butchering Jews at every possible opportunity for the last century, including massacres no less horrific than Oct.7. They never needed a reason better than "al-Aqsa is in danger".

Say it out loud. Israel does bulldoze Arab homes, as explained in the article you shared. Israel does construct settlements. But Israel does not bulldoze Arab homes to make way for settlements. Are we in agreement?

Not sure what entire world you are talking about, as an ever increasingly large part of the world considers "from the river to the sea" (i.e. all of Israel, Gaza and WB) as Palestinian land, so my question is valid and I need to know where you stand.
Now that we've established that it's the West Bank we're talking about (there are no Jewish homes in Gaza), what is it that makes you believe that within this territory an Arab may build a home but a Jew may not?

I asked for a single specific case where a Palestinian home, village or town was destroyed and replaced by Israeli settlers. Not HTTP links. "They do it every time", you say - shouldn't be hard to find a case. I'm all ears.

Well? Did you find the name of a town or village that was destroyed?

Nope. I see not a single case of bulldozing Palestinian homes to build Israeli ones. Next.

You ignored my most important point: Hamas demonstrated exactly what giving them control over the borders would cause. Imagine what Hamas would have done if they had greater control.

Every bulldozed home is demolished for a reason - see the Wikipedia article you quoted yourself - and none of those reasons include "to build a Jewish home in its place". This was your precise accusation, and you seem to stand behind it despite it never having actually happened.
Secondly, I don't know what you mean what "Palestinian Land" exactly means, can you define it? Which land exactly are we talking about here? Are you basically saying that there exists a land where an Arab may build his home but a Jew may not?
