Well they just killed about 350 children.
why do they do that?

Intent is not as important as what’s happening. Israel can claim it’s not trying to kill kids but that is irrelevant if they are killing kids. Y’all need to grow tf up. This isn’t a game. In 20 years the world will judge us for how we act today.

In 20 years your kids will ask “what was Palestine?” “What does remember Palestine mean?”

Don't kid yourself pointless.

I would stop being an hypocrite by stopping the expansion of the colonies …

In 20 years a lot of the people shrugging about the impending massacre of Palestinians and the inevitable ISIS 2.0 this will create are going to pretend like they never really felt that way, just like they have with their bad takes immediately after 9/11.

Israel has always has the capability to eliminate Palestine and they have never done so. Hamas has it in their charter to eliminate Israel and would do so if they had the capability. I don't support Bibi and never have. I agree he is a far right extremist and Israel would be better off with another leader.

There's a difference between capability, desire, and what's politically acceptable. Just because they've never done it even though they technically could have doesn't mean they didn't want to (not speaking about all Israelis obviously). They've been slowly grinding away at the Palestinians for decades because that's what they could get away with without too much political fallout. Now that they've got carte blanche it looks a lot like ethnic cleansing is on the table. North Korea might want to glass the South but they know they can't get away with it. If they were suddenly the only country with nukes there's a pretty good chance South Korea wouldn't exist for very long. The U.S. could never have invaded Iraq/Afghanistan without sufficient cause, despite lots of neocons licking their chops. You better believe some of those same guys are salivating at the thought of Iran getting involved in this conflict so they'll have justification to regime change them as well.

There has never been a genocide in Palestine. Various Israeli politicians want the Palestinians to disappear, and some have stupidly suggested moving the Arabs of the West Bank to Sinai, but there has never been a genocide or anything approaching that. The Palestinian population has surged in recent decades. Israel suffers from 'proportional representation', meaning a permanent hung parliament where fringe groups always hold the balance of power, putting the (far-right religious) lunatics in charge of the asylum, but, while there has been systematic 'ethnic cleansing' in the West Bank -- irrelevant to the current situation, because Hamas couldn't care less about the West Bank, hates the Palestinian authority in the West Bank and murders its representatives wherever possible -- there hasn't been any genocide.

If you really do not understand the nature of warfare -- and Hamas very deliberately provoked a war -- then perhaps it is time you did.

What if Hamas was responding to Israeli provocation

This lead to nowhere .
They both guilty of it depending which point in time u chose to start from .

the Egypts back Hamas. What about them?

since when are they doing this?

5000 B.C.? right? what year exacly?

The attempts at moral equivalence by some of the posters here are ridiculous.

Yeah your musings certainly don't sound like whataboutism at all....

Translation: Israel bad.

Doing what exactly ?
Each camp can enumerated actions made by their opposite, a justification on why they used bad actions , depending which date u start to look at since the creation of Israel post WW2.

I’m leaving out the religious reason out of it which yes I guess could start couple millenniums years ago .

Fascists elements of Israeli government bad.

The lack of equivalent empathy is what’s appalling.

Are the Israeli government as bad as Hamas?


Oh I have empathy for innocents killed but unlike you I can recognise the reactive context and how Hamas are using the Palestinians as shields by hiding among them.
You don't because Israel bad. Even if you'll never admit it.

Settler Colonialism is the root of the problem.

Death and violence are the symptoms.

Doesn’t Israel do the same thing by having civilians in contested areas

Fwiw if bibi was so great , why hamas is so popular ?

“this government is bent on expanding Israel’s illegal Jewish settlement and deepening its system of apartheid throughout “the Land of Israel” or historical Palestine. And it is determined to increase its terrible repression and violence in order to keep the Palestinians down or force them out of their homeland.”

It is very scary but we also shouldn't judge people by the worst thing they say in very emotional times. Many are literally not in their tight minds in these periods. I hadn't realised unemployment being good for the rich was a secret. The mask slipping would be saying the unemployment should or is being deliberately created for their benefit.

but yes the fact is that many do value lives differently based on nationality, race etc. even if they hadn't realised it. And they do think the germans must have been different in some deep way when that makes no sense. They're deluded but so are we if we think that's not what lots of people are like (and always will be)).
