Curious if the people mad about Israeli deaths are mad about Palestinian ones?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the Palestinian claims go back that far too. These claims are not outcome determinative, they're just necessary context.


I think about peace deals and how functional they'll be based on recent history.

I'm pretty sad about the whole thing. Nothing but senseless cruelty all the down. This situation has felt hopeless for a long time and I don't see it getting any better.

Only 1/100 x as mad. I.E. if you posted 1 dead palestinian for every 1 dead israeli, they'd be 100x as mad as they are already.

What's the upside for the Palestinians in this?

Worldwide support



If we go back 2k years I think people say that Israel belongs to the Israelis but the Palestinians say the same thing.


I agree that we should only focus on recent history , like last 200 years?

Am I the only person that sees this as a thousands of years conflict between the rich pale skin middle easterns and the poor brown skinned middle easterns?

In this lens you see Israel as the last stand of the "pale skinned" tribe, and you hope for their defeat so there will be total victory of the "brown skinned" tribe, which you view as a positive?

Killing Israelis. Period.

Civilians in Gaza or members of Hamas?

If the latter, they shouldn’t. Terrorists should be put down.

Also, no Hamas = better lives for the Palestinians.

You’re probably not the only person who sees it that way. There are a lot of idiots in the world.

Does Israel have any terrorists?

Terrorists isn’t a real legal term, they are civilians or they are enemy military forces. It’s binary.

Terrorists are civilians so I’m not sure why people need to try and call them something else. Civilians are protected by the ICC and enemy soldiers protected by the Geneva convention


What protections are the Israelis recognizing?

dumbstruck over the fact that the IDF isn't able to stop a coordinated invasion along a 32 mile border

ISR citizens have to be really scratching their heads today at this fact

32 miles

Humans with AKs are way more powerful than western media would have you believe


AKs and mortars and RPGs , and drones apparently.

absolutely

then militarily analysis might suggest you need to have armed fortifications with hundreds of troops along the border at all times to serve as a deterrence

we're talking about a very small border here

in other words, take off the table what happened yday bc it would basically be impossible

You think lots of pale-skinned people were living in Jerusalem thousands of years ago?

Actually military analysis would be how can we solve this problem with peace

Unless everyone is lying about the Europeans taking over the Middle East. I guess the Roman’s never went there, neither did the Greeks.

I thought you were talking about the Israelis and the Palestinians? Not that the Romans or Greeks are especially pale.

You said people.

People change religions btw.


I think it should be noted that Iran is using Palestine to hurt Israel

well, in the meantime let's take all the necessary steps to protect our citizens

Israel could just leave. then no more deaths.

Well, you got all the 7s:--

1917: the British Cabinet's ill-advised Balfour Declaration that 'HM Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national homeland for the Jewish people... it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine,' as if that was ever going to work. The only Jewish member of the Cabinet, Edwin Montagu, Secretary for India, deplored the whole thing and said it would lead to an increase in anti-semitism worldwide.

1947: UN Partition Plan for Palestine, accepted by the Jewish authority but rejected by the Arabs, which more or less outlined the present-day Israel, West Bank and Gaza Strip. Jewish settlement had been made completely unstoppable by events in Europe, with shiploads of Jewish refugees arriving.

1967: The Six-Day War, in which Israel seized and occupied the West Bank and Gaza.

2007: Hamas take control of Gaza, having won the Palestinian elections of 2006, following the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza (and the dismantling of 21 Jewish settlements) in 2005. Gaza initially had a national-unity government with Hamas and Fatah, but the two factions were and remain extremely hostile, and Hamas people apparently threw Fatah people off rooftops during the takeover. Hamas have never held any further elections.

Hamas claim that Gaza is kept in misery because of the Israeli blockade, made more acute by the fact that Israel controls Gaza's power and water and can turn them off at any time. Israelis claim that Hamas could perfectly well have developed Gaza's economy into a little Dubai, attracting no end of overseas investment, but the blockade and the fence have to stay because Hamas's only policy is to spend money on arms and infiltration exercises to attack Israel.

It's all as pitiful and needless as a bitter, mutually destructive divorce case -- or, if you know your Dickens, the case of Jarndyce v Jarndyce -- where each party treasures grievance above all things.

All of Gazas electricity has been turned off :/

The US will send a carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean in support of Israel

being stuck inside the med doesnt sound like a good idea.

People online are required to be impartial? Lol. Even the media have a very hard time being impartial lmfao
