    Oh please. Acting like Israel hasn’t been killing Palestinians for decades. Imagine how Palestine could look now if Israel hadn’t been subjugating and oppressing them for the last 60+ years.

      Both sides have been killing each other for decades. Palestinians killing Israelis, Israelis killing Palestinians. Neither side has clean hands in any of this.

        Yes, Israeli soldiers murder children, and then get attacked, and then go murder more children.

        Never do the pussies bother to fight anyone in a uniform or anyone armed.

        It’s always, “Oops, I had to blow up a children’s hospital again.” Fucking despicable.

        Yea in a ratio of about 10 Palestinians per 1 Israeli. Neither side has clean hands. But one side sure is hell bent on completely genociding the other. This both sides shit you’re spewing is disgusting. Recognize that a genocide is taking place and is killing tens of thousands of innocents.

          Both sides are, but one side has been doing a better job of it for the last 80 years than the other side.

          I don’t agree it is a genocide, but I do think either side would be quite glad to see every belligerent member of the other side dead.

          There are pro-Palestinian Jews in Israel just as there are Pro-Israeli Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank, though they are few.

          In your opinion it would’ve been OK for Israel to retaliate if the ratio was closer to 1:1?

          Neither side has clean hands

          100% true.

          But one side sure is hell bent on completely genociding the other

          You mean the side that had the “obliteration” of the other side mentioned multiple times in its charter?

          Recognize that a genocide is taking place and is killing tens of thousands of innocents.

          Agreed. The UN should’ve stepped in a long time ago and provided much needed security.

            Israel won’t let the UN step in. UN buildings, programs, and investigators were some of the first targeted, and the US has veto power within the UN. One side has the capacity and is committing genocide, and when you bother to look at what they are saying in Israeli social networks, they are not shy about it. Israel also killed the alternatives for Hamas, bolstering it over the PA to prevent the possibility of a legitimate Palestinian state from rising.

              Islamic fundamentalists are also not shy about it. You should listen to what they say, too.

              Palestine is a tiny part of a very large middle east majority called Islam, they don’t concern themselves with such things as “states” and “borders”. According to them.

            We agree, only the UN could enforce a “two-state solution”.

            Left to their own devices, Palestinian or Israeli, (HAMAS vs. Zionist, Islam vs. Jew), genocide is their end goal per their own words. Not everybody. But the fundamentalists don’t respect the opinion of “anybody” or the rule of law, and they don’t negotiate in good faith, ever.

            They both want dominion from the river to the sea. Neither will submit to the rule of the other. It’s time for us to give up that fantasy.

            A lot of international troops would be required to “keep the peace”, and even then, murders will continue, just at a slower pace.

            If the UN (not the USA) won’t keep the peace, we need to get Palestinian civilians out of there. This is an international war, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Iran, the Islamic Republic, HAMAS, Hezbollah, et al. aren’t going to negotiate peace, there are no terms the other would accept.

        You will be “disciplined” for this point of view on Lemmy. Many here don’t even realize that all fundamentalist parties involved are dedicated to the total obliteration of the other. They don’t understand that this is international, not Israeli vs. Palestinian, but more Jews vs. Islam (which is in itself a gross simplification).

        Others want all of these millions of Israelis to “disappear”, as if they have somewhere to go. Others want… more.

          Yes, most of the time, I can’t tell if they are ignorant or just stupid.

          Perhaps both, at the same time.

          I know. I don’t care. So far it’s all been a bunch of angry foaming-at-the-mouth emotionalism and name calling in the replies. I have my own views. Others have theirs.
