Israel is occupying and oppressing what WOULD have otherwise been a sovereign nation.
Bullshit. That's the official government claim, but it's clear to anyone with even an ounce of objectivity that it's actually attacking the Palestinian people as a whole. By their OWN assessment they're killing TWICE as many innocent civilians as Hamas and since they refuse to show any proof, the ratio is likely much worse.
More than half of the population wasn't even BORN (let alone of voting age) the last time they were allowed the opportunity to vote for anyone else and even then they ran on false claims of moderation. They are an illegitimate government and civilians who never voted for them shouldn't suffer for their atrocities.
Because of the aforementioned illegal occupation.
Yes. Nobody sane is defending Hamas. That doesn't mean that AT LEAST two civilians needs to die for every Hamas terrorist killed.
So civilians should die for the desires of their governments? That would be bad news for the equally innocent Israeli civilians.
Might not be random, but sure as hell isn't proportionate or otherwise in keeping with international humanitarian law.
It's at least as important to remember that the only alternative to "nothing" isn't "a laundry list of horrific crimes against humanity". Stow the false dichotomies, please.
Which the fascists are using as an excuse to indiscriminately murder civilians including by denying them basic life necessities such as food, water, electricity, fuel, medical treatment and medicine.
TL;DR: I hope AIPAC or another Israeli government agency is paying you well for your efforts, otherwise it's just sad for you to be spending so much time and effort regurgitating all the long debunked genocide apologia of an apartheid regime..
You neglected to include what should be done with the terrorist group that started the conflict by invading and killing a thousand Israeli citizens. It’s like you’ve read one side of the conflicts view point and ignored the rest. So you know how many times two state solutions have been negotiated and why they fell through? It’s really difficult to compromise when some people don’t think Israel should even exist. I don’t expect you to solve it, it’s impossible. There’s hopefully some good news coming out today https://apnews.com/article/palestinians-abbas-israel-hamas-war-resignation-1c13eb3c2ded20cc14397e71b5b1dea5
I'm no foreign policy expert, but a 2 state solution seems like the only viable solution that doesn't involve a genocide and eradication of an entire country and people. Sure it might require international intervention to establish a DMZ like what happened towards the end of the Korean War (from a US perspective) but it would at least stop the senseless killing and greatly reduce the suffering that's happening right now
Clearly that’s the ideal, but getting that done is next to impossible and many of the surrounding countries that are bank rolling Hamas don’t want to see peace. It’s very difficult to fight a war against terrorism. Afghanistan/later Iraq proved that.
Better nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure... no humans will keep killing humans in the name of one god or another. Make it all radioactive, done. One week's warning.
