Yet Palestine routinely uses civilian infrastructure to coordinate and launch attacks on Israel. That is a war crime AND a crime against humanity. You might not be willing to absolve Palestine for their part, but on a global level it seems the Jew haters prefer to ignore that little tidbit of fact. Palestine commits a war crime and crime against humanity, Israel retaliates and muslims and leftards scream "genocide".
It's ABSOLUTELY a war crime and terrorists attacks and why I also stand that Palestine doesn't want Peace either.
What about Israel's stealing land they don't have rights to and kicking off the rightful owners, even killing them, against international law? I know it's "What about" ism, but you keep pointing out Palestine's evils - which I totally agree with - yet say nothing about theirs?
Well, quit picking fights with people who have guns and shit when all you have is rocks. Pretty simple.
I'd agree with that.
But how about Israel not use that shit and instead non-lethal means?
Militarily no. In the court of public opinion they're already winning though.
Because the tide shifted once social media started to show how Israel is treating people who don't even want to fight, or who are part of their own nation (Arab's do live in Israel, ya know) and now have people claiming they should be shot and kicked out.
Let me ask you this. How would YOU react if your neighbours spent the better part of 75 years continually attacking you and your family?
Well, answer my question first, then I'll dive into answering this, but the TL;DR - at this point, it doesn't matter, because "both sides" have done so much horrible shit neither side will say "This won't ever stop" because now it's all for revenge.
How would YOU react if every attempt at making peace with your neighbours was spit back in your face. How would YOU react if every time you retaliated you were accused of trying to kill the entire family next door.
Also you claim the land belongs to Palestine. Does it? Palestinians have never owned Palestine. It's always been under someone else's control. Secondly, scholars and archaeologists have determined that BOTH people entered the land about 100 years apart. The people who became the Palestinians settled in the west and south of the land while the ancient Israelites settled in the hills and plains of the east and north.
However, if we wanna talk about who was there first, Egypt was busy colonizing the land even before the Israelites and Palestinian ancestors settled in it. This was part of Egypt's rationale for wanting to take the entire southern half of that land after Israel was defeated in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The Arab muslim states weren't very keen on even a one state solution with Palestine being that one state. The goal was to defeat Israel and carve up the land between Egypt, Syria and Lebanon.
As for the Palestinians, they elected Hamas. If you wanna know why Israel finally said "fuck it" in response to Palestine, that's why. Extremism begets extremism. Problem is everyone wants to point fingers at the reactive extremism and not the cause of it, 'cuz Jews is evil".
Oddly enough, in what is probably one of the greatest ironies of history, Palestine still exists only because Israel didn't lose that war in 1948, or any of the following wars.
Well, answer my question first, then I'll dive into answering this, but the TL;DR - at this point, it doesn't matter, because "both sides" have done so much horrible shit neither side will say "This needs to stop" because now it's all for revenge.
Finally, the Palestinians are human fucking garbage. They actually shot my father while he was helping to protect/defend them from potential extremists on the Israeli side. (Remember, in the early days the Soviet Union backed Israel while Britain backed Palestine.) They're just a bunch of mutts.
I'm sorry your father was shot. Was the person who did it ever caught? Convicted? Dealt with? No, likely not considering the time period. And as much as my sympathy likely doesn't matter, I am still sorry it happened.
And, sadly, because of that act, you have become part of the actual problem.
"They did X to me!" "They killed X"
They're worthless. They're mutts.
They are now "other" and because of that, not worth it, even if they could be. Because revenge is easier than peace.
And it's why Palestine and Israel will always be like this.
But you said it yourself, your father was helping Palestinians against EXTREMISTS on the Israeli side.
Those extremists still exist, and have ensured there IS no chance of peace.
In a way, they have won because they've convinced the world that "They're a bunch of mutts" and that's all they ever could be. And Palestine damns themselves every day by giving them ample ammuntion and proof of it.
