SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: On what basis was the existing majority population of Palestine obligated to accept the partition of their homeland? Not the UN's basis. Not the British government's basis. Not the Zionist movement's basis.

You said: I never claimed the Holocaust created a Palestinian debt."

Then you argued: Jewish self-determination is legitimate, Arab rejection of partition is the originating problem, two peoples suffered.

But you never answered the question underneath all of it, the question the original argument posed directly:

On what basis was the existing majority population of Palestine obligated to accept the partition of their homeland?

Not the UN's basis. Not the British government's basis. Not the Zionist movement's basis.

On what moral basis?

You did not answer this.

You reframed around it.

You cited complexity.

You invoked parallel suffering.

You accused the original argument of sleight of hand.

But the question is still there.

A population was living somewhere.

An international body, dominated by powers with their own interests, voted to give the majority of that somewhere to a settler movement.

The existing population said no.

A war followed, in which the settler movement's military forces, which were larger and better organized than the combined Arab armies, expelled 750,000 people from their homes.

On what moral basis was any of this the Palestinian population's obligation to accept?

Answer that question.

Not with the complexity of the subsequent history.

Not with Hamas.

Not with rockets.

Not with parallel suffering.

Answer the foundational question.

Because until you do, every argument you make is superstructure built on a foundation you are refusing to examine.

And the people whose grandchildren are in Gaza cannot wait for you to find it comfortable to look down.

You are arguing against a position I never made. I did not say the Holocaust created a moral debt that Palestinians had to pay. I said Jewish self-determination did not begin with the Holocaust and Israel’s creation cannot be understood honestly without Arab rejection of
