    So when Israel was given it’s land via the Balfour treaty both sides were happy for a while. Yea some were pissed off but didn’t act out.

    Then when Israel got settled and comfy they decided to try to grab the rest of “their” land even though this broke the treaty.

    Since then the land grab has gotten blatant and they’ve created their own laws to justify it, to the point that even me saying this is seen as antisemitism even though it is totally truthful.

    Well done Israel, what did you think would happen.

    The ICC still want a word too!

    Apartheid is still alive.

            Yeah, we should separate the citizens from the government. Unless there really is overwhelming support from the citizens for the actions of the government. I don’t know about that situation over there.

            That way, you can blame the Israeli government for the deaths of the citizen, singular?

            Exactly. The victims are the Palestinian people and Israeli people who can’t stop those in charge from doing what they are doing. The vast majortiy of victims that disproportionately suffer more are Palestinians, a clear consequence of continued Israeli aggression and occupation, police-protected settler violence, and relentless land-grabbig. Israel put itself, it’s citizens, and all the Palestinians under the bus by committing apartheid.

            Yeah to an extent but the population support and enable their apartheid state, land grabbing and murderous policies. These are the consequences. I don’t want to see anyone dead but this isn’t a surprise and I stand with Palestine.

    This is a tragedy, but similar to the invasion of Ukraine with Isreal being Russia.

      Wow, no one is going to mention what Israel is doing to these people? I don’t agree with terrorists, but the replies should be more nuanced than ‘bad Palestines’.

      In my eyes, as an outsider following the news, Israel has pushed Palestinians to the brink by killing Palestine civilians, seizing more of their land AGAIN and having a dictator for a president that just changed the constitution…

      If you take people’s land, your military kills children, films and laughs about it, push them into poverty, and then come for their homes… Sometimes this is the only way to say ‘enough’.

      There appears to be some confusion. Before anyone decides to post a viewpoint based upon a timeslot of their choosing, please search for yourselves when Israel was created and its boundaries. Then track the boundaries every 10 years and see where they are today. Then ask yourselves what you would do if you were pressed so far.

      Let those with a death wish meet their just end! They’re not freedom fighters. They’re simple terrorists taking hostages, gunning people in the street, etc. They have no end game but death and destruction. They’ll accomplish nothing but murder and subsequent hardship for their people. They could be thriving but they’d rather kill people indiscriminately. They have no code of conduct nor rules of engagement. If they saw a Jewish toddler or infant, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill it. There is no reason to champion these losers.
