@Heaven Hypothetically, if Palestinians occupied Israelis, should the Israelis resist this occupation?

Also hypothetically, let’s say Israel defeats Hamas and they no longer exist. What should Israel do with all the Palestinians that remain in Gaza and West Bank? Will they become part of Israeli society with equal rights or be given their own state?

The Jewish people already lost everything they had 75 years ago and relocated.
Especially if it’s been almost a century of unfruitful success. If the Jewish people had an alternative I personally would be there a long time ago. 
 

All Palestinians supporters should donate money to rebuild Gaza. Gaza should be monitored by UAE or the Saudis.

So they relocated to somewhere they weren’t living and took over a portion of land from native people already living there? If the roles were reversed wouldn’t Israelis resist this or any other group?

Maybe it hasn’t been a success because of occupation. If Israelis demand security so bad, how can security be achieved by occupying people forever who will naturally resist it?

The point is, Jewish people lost everything 75 years ago, but Palestinians have been losing what’s theirs for 75 years and still continuing till today - can you acknowledge this injustice is the core of the issue, just as it was for Jews?

The ones responsible for destruction should be held to account for reconstruction. Just like Germany and Japan had to pay reparations after WW2 or Iraq destroying Kuwait.

And are you? Your posts are coming from heavily anti-Israeli biased sources

Enough of this gaslighting. You guys keep saying this but all you're doing is displaying your own obvious bias by defending this ethnic cleansing project.

Israel's actions are egregious, shameless, criminal, and unconscious to anyone who is objective and serious about understanding reality.

@Leo Gura You’re biased as much as we are. You identify as a liberal and influenced by the media algorithms. I am biased and I admit that. It’s about time you will. It’s about survival for Israel. No other way can take place. Reality is perfect as it is.

Former general. Probably he is an old man now and insane. Quoting people who has no influence and taking it for what is, is not real science. Yes, they are extremist in Israel. Just like most countries. Those people are a shame to humanity but it is what it is.

Not at all. He is not Muslim, not Palestinian, nor Arab.

Nor does he have some anti Jewish hatred.

Meanwhile you are Israeli.

It it insane for you to suggest that you two are equally biased when you have so much skin in this game while Leo has none.

You can do a research about Green morality of Israelis if you dare (; in other topics that aren't treaten them directly - veganism, equality, LGBTQ.

I promise you that if you do the research long enough you will find out that our society is 33.3% 🔵🍊 and 🍏 quite equally and you won't be able to find a color which is the dominant. If you are serious you will be able to rise above the myths and see this. Don't believe me, research yourself.

Israel is an interesting case where they do indeed have a green attitude towards LGBT and veganism.

But when it comes to Palestinians, they seem to regress and become classical blue.

Hitler was also a vegan and animal lover. So you can be genocidal and also an animal lover at once.

I am not saying Israelis are like Hitler, but it is a very clear case of how you can have green attitudes towards some cases and blue attitudes towards others.

When it comes to the specific case of Palestinians, I notice a very blue attitude towards Israelis at large.

An extreme amount of dehumanization, not taking of any responsibility and little to no empathy.

Even towards childreen.

To summarize it best, I saw a clip online of an Israeli who lives not far from the Gaza border.

He was saying "we love everyone, peace and love to all, all good" etc, your typical hippie green attitude.

Then the reporter asked what he thought about the Gaza war

His response: "Destroy them all".

Israeli morality in a nutshell...

Because he has often disagreed with me towards this conflict and I did not notice any antisemitism from him.

I know antisemitic people so I know what antisemitism looks like.

Except the constant conflict increases radicalism in Israeli society and causes left leaning and wealthier who tend to be at higher development to flee the country, so Israel’s development will decrease. 

By 2050 the majority of Israel will be solid blue Haredi and messianic Jews.

No it isn’t.

Gaza is completely blockaded, they can’t do anything unless the fence is left unguarded. Yet Israel is engaging in plausible genocide according to the highest international legal body.

The West Bank population isn’t even doing anything yet Israel is expanding settlements and killing hundreds of them.

Hezbollah said they’d stop firing if Israel ceased bombarding Gaza, yet Israel is invading Lebanon.

Iran just damaged some buildings and said they will not engage in more attacks unless attacked and now Israel is announcing it will try attacking them again after constant assassinations potentially triggering a wider war.

None of this has anything to do with security.

This guy is a joke. No one takes him seriously.. He and Bengvir are like dogs who bark and never bite. 
Instead of just “strengthening” your case. Look how Netanyahu express himself compared to Nasralla or any other terrorist leader.

After the glorious October 7, the brutality of the Zionist entity was exposed, revealing Israel's true nature to the world. The mask was torn away, reminding everyone that it had always been this way.

That’s not nice.

You should get a warning, otherwise it’s biased and not based.

Gaza was bombing the south for over ten years. Managed to do the massacre of 7th of October(A year ago) and has our hostages in it.

Lebanon and Hamas are interconnected with Iran.

Meaning that the southern area of Lebanon could execute the second massacre easily(Had tunnels near the border). Not to mention making it impossible for anyone live in northern Israel.

Iran funding this whole circus joined directly to the party and now Israel will do whatever it can to harm it and it will.

Stop being naive and see things as they are. This war is about the disarming the enemy.(For a very good reason).
