Please since you are so well versed as a " scholar, historian, and a journalist"
Answer these questions:
When was the "COUNTRY" Palestine established and by WHO
Where was it's official capital established, and by WHO?
How was "Palestine's borders" set forth, and by WHO?
I know history much better than you, and I understand "historians" such as yourself wish to re-write history according to biased political or religious views.
Hey, quick question: Tell me who the JORDANIANS are?
And if you are asking me if it's ok for ANY sovereign nation to MOW DOWN any IDIOT who wishes to cross a border; then YAH I'm fine with it. That's by definition why BORDERS ARE CREATED
If "people" want to use BABIES as human shields rather than keep them from a dangerous zone, well that's just SICK and demented along with those who support them!
Since you are so blinded by your self-absorbed attitude and perceived moral high ground it would be a waste of time trying to enlighten you. You have however revealed your ignorance by your last two paragraphs. The blatant hypocrisy of calling the victims of the longest military occupation in modern history sick, instead of the oppressors who are aiming at children and have been caught on camera several times cheering while shooting unarmed protesters is beyond words.
Apparently you are not even aware what defines a 'sovereign nation'. The Gaza borders were erected on illegally occupied territory and are therefore not recognized by international law.
But since you don't recognize natural law (i.e. native land) or common ethics why should you care for international law.
As per usual and like EVERY one of you ignorant sheep; answer these uncomfortable and SIMPLE questions!
It's a simple grade 4 level question which seems too hard for you to directly answer. So then you throw around terms like "self absorbed", perceived "moral high ground", and then use Amnesty as the definition for internaional law.. NOT the Geneva Conventions of 1949 (Just dumb)
Throwing around definitions from amnesty which is clearly the WIKI on history /sarc
Self absorbed attitude? Historical dates, facts, and motives be damned.
Normally I don't play these games, but since you insist...
Amnesty international knows the law and since you are so picky you should be aware that of course Israel has also violated the Geneva Convention.
By the way, how many UN resolutions have been targeted at Palestine? 1. Israel? 77.
Either you are lying and don't know history or you are deliberately trying to manipulate public perception. Apparently in your view Israel has more rights to the stealing and occupation of Palestine than the natives who had inhabited it for more than a thousand years. That also constitutes violation of natural law, someone with your worldview wouldn't understand.
So apparently even Amnesty recognizes Israel to have borders? No UN resolutions have condemned "Palestine" for terrorism, religious indoctrination of their youth, and the explicit targeting of ISRAELI civilians. Here's your unbiased heads of the UN the same body that voted FOR ISRAEL'S EXISTENCE - POD

Current head of the Commission: Zeid bin Ra'ad .. guess where he is from.
Natural LAW?
The spoils of war never belonged to the victor. Asked the natives.
If your indication is that the UN is a sham than I won't dispute that argument. They were founded by the Rockefellers and like you said are directly responsible for the creation of the Zionist supremacy state. This kind of makes my point; Israel didn't even feel the responsibility to abide by what the UN calls international law.
Natural law of course is way more morally binding than any creation of civilization. This is the simplest logic and ethics. If someone was born someplace he has a right to stay there.
Agreed: UN is a sham
Agreed: Rockefeller was bad
Disagree: Zionist Supremacy
ethics?? Ethics really? Well I will say this; I’m so happy I can imprint this onto the blockchain:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_Arab_and_Muslim_countries
I guess everyone can be dirty together!!!
Think about who you are accusing of genocide and ethnic expulsion including the whole inconvenient fact of Israel hosting 2 million Arabs with full and equal rights. Look dude, whatever you are doing, I’m trying to paint a different picture for you. If you refuse to acknowledge that than there’s no longer a discussion.
