  • Just google “Palestinian authority corrupt” and note how many standard sources of authority there are in the results saying “yeah, the Palestinian authority is corrupt af’. It’s an established fact that Abbas and co are grafters. If I say the sky is blue I don’t have to provide references FFS.

  • I am aware of the mostly held view that the PA are corrupt AF.
    You are presenting your opinion that Abbas and co are grafters, not sure your opinion counts as an established fact, however.
    They probably are, I actually agree with you.
    I also agree that the sky is blue (though sometimes it isn’t…)

    Ignoring someone because they questioned the credibility of the website you referenced doesn’t really support your argument.

    Your view that ‘From the river to the Sea’ doesn’t have anti-semetic connotations, is backed up by a website run by 2 Palestinians living in Ramallah, who claim to be objective but not neutral.
    They may very well be, and for them it might not mean the same thing as when Hamas use it, but they don’t speak for all Palestinians, in the same way that Hamas don’t speak for all Palestinians.

  • One could make the same statement about "Israel's right to exist". For one person that might be to assert that Israel could exist in a very different form, where all the people in the territories it controls have equal rights and representation, are not subject to displacement or a two-tier legal system. To another it may assert that Israel must exist as a Jewish-majority ethnostate, and this requires ethnic cleansing to establish and maintain.
