As in, the Palestinians would exterminate the Jews. Thanks, the Jews will pass on being the Palestinians' dhimmis (and then a pile of corpses). "A unified and democratic Palestine", no doubt powered by magical elves who create food and electricity out of thin air. It is a fantasy. When I hear people talk like that I know they are too naive for their opinion to be worth anything. The Palestinians can't even get along with each other without Hamas slaughtering Fatah members and vice versa and you think they would be "just" and "peaceful" with the Jews in a country they control? You are delusional or lying, or most likely, both. That solution is not a just solution it is a Final Solution. As in, the Palestinians would exterminate the Jews.

It is meaningless blather from someone who does nothing but whine and criticize others who are attempting to do something about injustice. Again, read "Letter from a Birmingham Jail". If you think that Ta'ayush is engaged in what you term "assaultive dissent" then so were King and Gandhi. Your point is like many of your "points" here.

Perhaps you are and are projecting again. There are no decibels in an online forum, but perhaps you should analyze coolly why your posts are making no headway with anyone here.

There are MANY reasons why hoped for or intended outcomes don't occur. An effective approach would be to analyze, coolly, NOT to whine about it, so as to rationalize more decibels, rather than more skill.
