There have been many examples of country’s seeking reparations for wrongs done to them…the Armenians are looking to Turkey for reparations…..Blacks in the South are seeking them…..on and on……but the one that I find the most ludicrous is what Israel is looking to do……. Israel is trying to get reparations for wrongs done to them in the distant past…..reparations if you will……
Reparations? Just what the Hell?
Israel is seeking hundreds of billions of dollars in compensation from Middle Eastern countries where Jewish people fled or were expelled from.
The Jewish state has hired an unnamed international accounting company to estimate the damages it should seek per an expected US peace plan, according to a Hahadashot TV report.
Claims for assets in Iraq, Morocco, Syria, Egypt, Iran and Yemen are expected to reach $200 billion.
The plan would be for Israel to keep its settlements, though no longer expanding isolated outposts. Moreover, the plan would mandate Israel evacuate any outposts which are illegal under Israeli law. That’s a big deal, because Israel has recently changed its own laws to facilitate retroactively legalizing a lot of these outposts.
The Palestinian capital would be in East Jerusalem, and the Palestinians would be given “most of the Arab neighborhoods” there. Some areas would also be jointly run by Jordan and Palestine.
I doubt Trump’s plan will work. And as for reparations, they have left it a little late, I think.
Best wishes, Pete.
I do not like such words as “about” and others…if the world will guarantee the West Bank then I might be on board…..I do not trust Israel to do anything like right……the reparations…get in line slaves are asking…Armenians are asking…Circassians are asking….many are asking few get satisfaction….chuq
We all need reparations for one reason or another.
Does this mean since the US turned Jews away in the 1930s that we owe them reparations? Then cut their aid package and call it even. chuq
No, that was not what I meant.
I know it was just a thought out loud….chuq
