International 248 people, 66 children Palestinian dead after "Apartheid state" Israel launches airstrikes in Gaza

no i called them zionist for being okay with the oppression of palestinians and trying to cover it with clever words. if 1% of what israel does happened in their country they would immediately call to overthrow the government.

I don't think they were defending Israel's actions, rather they were critiquing the man's response to the reporter. Honestly though it doesn't really matter. I agree with your take on this.
 
how dare they live with their children in their own houses. that's their fault for having their children killed ! zionist rethoric somehow. you're a clown man I'm done with you.
Nah. Keep trying to ignore the fact that terrorists launching rockets sites were what was targeted and they just happened to be launching those strikes with children close by so they got caught in the retaliatory fire.

You make it sound like the Israelis are going "hey look. Kids. Let's shoot there" when in fact they are returning fire to sites their networks zeroed in on as the sites firing rockets on Isreal.
 
for the first time ever ? they've been mass killing the palestinians non stop since 2000. Ever heard of the 2008/2009 "operation cast lead" war ? the 2012 "pillar of defense" war ? the 2014 "Operation protective edge" war ? with each time 90% of the casualties being palestinians and 10% israelis or less. Those are super easily verifiable facts. and somehow israel has the upper hand "for the first time" ? you're such a biased disgusting person
You really are too polarized to read.

Meaning 1948 was the first time they entrenched and fought back after thousands of years of being butchered. Real genius we got here

So yeah for the last 70 years out of millennia of being butchered and kicked out, they are standing their ground on their ancestral homeland
 
They didn't finally decide to "entrench" where they were. The majority of them immigrated there from Europe, and the world governments at the time helped them push the Palestinians out.

And the population was rising because Jewish fundamentalists were illegally immigrating into the region from elsewhere before the holocaust even happened.
Immigrated "back" there from. Europe after being pushed out by the ottoman Muslims (who conquered their way into that land to begun with)you mean.

Also, lol at "illegal immigration" for Jewish people to return to the birthplace of Judaism while escaping the holocaust.

That's like calling a native family that moved to Canada to get away from American "illegal immigrants" for returning to their tribes reserve.

But yes you feel free to tell the natives "that's way in the past. It's OUR land now" and see how your leftist friends react
 
The right of return relates to Palestinians returning to lands in Israel proper. There's about as much chance of the United States giving the Sioux back Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota or California to Mexico.

Annexation and one state isn't the only solution. A much better solution is to create an autonomous region under Jordan. The Jordanians fucked this all up to begin with anyway, first by not allowing the creation of a Palestinian country to begin with, second by joining with Egypt and Syria in the '67 War after the Israelis had asked them not to do so.

A one state solution will never ever happen as Israel cannot exist as a Jewish democratic state for very long with a minority that will eventually overtake them.

Native Americans can live anywhere in the US. America does not stop Natives from settling in any of those States you mentioned. Jews from America or anywhere can emmigrate to Israel and settle down there but Palestinians who used to live there can't , so there is no comparision between the US and Israel. America is also allowing millons of Native Americans from Central Americam , who came in illegally, to live in the US and almost surely they will be legalized. Thousands more come every year.

Plus you are bringing up European colonialism which happened a long ago. And you realize that Jews also settled in these lands that were formerly inhabited by Amerindians.

You are suggesting Israel should ethnically cleanse the Palestinians ? and the Palestinians put under the control of Jordan?
 
Not a big fan of the Palestinians and that’s no "mike drop" answer but I kinda understand where they’re coming from on this specific issue.

Afaik the problem is that the Israeli Supreme Court's ruled that these guys from a specific area have got to vacate these homes and turn it over to the Israelis / Jews.
Because back in the day (pre 1950s?) it belonged to them and they had to vacate it and run.

The problem is, the Palestinians feel (rightly imo) that if the Israelis can get back their shit today because they had to flee the violence then, then why the fk aren’t they getting back their homes that they had to vacate all over Israel.
And, to compound the issue, that this shitty order is from the very ones who have perpetrated this injustice.
Kind of like the foxes sitting in judgement of the hens vs their brothers.

I support the concept of Israel but this kind of repeated high handness and lack of gratitude of their situation really has started to annoy me.
Yes I agree. In fact I really like your specific analogy of the foxes standing in judgement of hens.
 
Netanyahu's tactics with palestine at this point pretty much boils down to three steps:

Provoke Palestinians.

Wait for Palestinians to retaliate after said provocation.

Use retaliation as an excuse for completely disproportionate military attacks and claim "self defence".

Rinse and Repeat.

Israel has a term for their tactic of provoking conflict with Gaza about every 3-4 years.

they call it “mowing the grass”. Look it up.

In short summary, provoke conflict so they can bomb Rocket storage sites and other ammo storage sites so hamas can’t sit and grow powerful Over the years.

they also want to keep their neighbors weak. Look at Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, and Libya.
 
What recent belligerent action has been taken against Gaza or Hamas? Hamas isn't the government of the West Bank. It basically inserted itself into a landlord/tenant dispute that has been working its way through the courts.

The PA decides not to hold elections for the West Bank and Gaza again for the umpteenth time in the last 15 or so years. Hamas supporters get riled up.
To burnish his credentials, Abbas calls for the Palestinians to stand tough against Israel and the potential evictions which leads to riots.
Not to be outdone, Hamas starts shooting rockets at Israel.

Gaza is basically an open air detention camp of sorts, because Israel , and its buddy Egypt, controls the lives of Gazans because they control the borders.

Israel recently indicated it was going to kick out 8 Palestinians familes in East Jerusalem. This is a belligerent action, it is the continuation of the territorial conquest Israel has been carrying out for decades. The rocket attakcs came after Israel raided the Al Aqsa mosque because of Palestinian protesters on the ground, who were protesting Israel's decision to kick out the 8 Palestinian families from their homes. Palestinian action is a response to Israeli oppression.

His solution is the only one that seems plausible. The Arab nations have abandoned the Palestinians in favor of economic ties with Israel. And you cant expect the larger power to allow themselves to become a minority by allowing mass immigration of a group that doesnt get along.

If this was 2014 it would be different. Back then it seemed the US was in a better respected position, Israel was weaker and the Arab world more united. Let alone if this was 2000 or 1999. But now its different
 
Take away Israel’s allowance. They’re a garbage ass moocher nation that loves doing terrorism and war crimes.

His solution is the worst possible solution , from a human rights POV. It basically justifies Israel's right to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians. Then why can't we justify genocides, ethnic cleansing and other crimes against humanity by all dominant groups ?

Despite Israel being very powerfull, I don't think they have enough power to ethnically cleanse all the Palestinians in the West Bank, that is crossing a red line. They will need the support of the West, and I doubt that even the Israel lobby can sell ethnic cleansing to Western society.

You wont get the results you want. The best way to have that was the Arab league and that sailed post 2014 and let alone post 2020 after all these Israel Arab peace deals and economic ties. So he is being practical. No amount of debating on here the human rights will change Pelosi or Schumer or Bidens mind. And its not like the Chinese or Russians or Saudis care either. Also I think we should just leave the region entirely and cut off aid to Israel. But with that said it is insane to think it would be smart for Israel to allow all those Palestinians into their lands. The Jews would die or be out voted and it would cause more violence as they have nukes and would react.

His solution wouldnt be viewed as ethnic cleansing if its done diplomatically. It would just require really Jordanian acceptance that is it. And then Egypt for Gaza.
 
Let me ask, what would you want your leaders to do if you were a Palestinian with a family in this situation?

In that situation ? To rebel against the colonizer. Oh i know that is soo horrible. What do you suggest ? living like a dog who gets kicked of his home and parked in a refugee camp ? what's the point in living such humiliating life ?
 
If you want to go back to the start then who's goal was it to wipe Israel off the map. Not that that's changed.

You view is Israel doesn't belong in the area and at best pre 67. Not going to happen.

The best solution is a high wall between Israel and the Palestinians with no gate. Give them the land they are own. With a warning any attack from them will be a declaration of all out war. Then the two countries have nothing to do with each other.
If you want to actually go back to the start you'd see it was the Zionists who were trying to push the Palestinians off their land from the very beginning.

yeah facts are too polarizing to read. creating a war every 4 years with 90% casualties on the other side is "standing its ground". and how is that not the palestinians homeland ? because some legend said the jews were here 10,000 years ago and we're supposed not only to believe it but to feel it's right to expell and oppress people because of that ? and i'm the one that's polarized. you're clearly pro zionism

"Some legend says the jews were here years ago"...lmao.

It's historical fact bud. It's not some random made up factoid that it's the birthplace of Christianity and Judaism. It was a land conquered by Muslims, whose seat of religion is mecca. The crusades were opposition to the Muslim wars of expansion

Every time they've done that they've gotten their asses kicked, their infrastructure demolished, humiliated, rinse and repeat for 70 years which each time getting progressively worse. You want them to keep doing the same thing?

I would have accepted the deal at the Oslo Accords myself, I'd want my family to have a chance at least.
 
They will be getting no help from their Arab/Muslim "allies" as the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Morocco, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan have signed peace treaties with more probably to come. The Palestinians are truly fucked!


Correct, those arab states have learned their place. Get on board with Isreal and zionists or get fucked.

The Palestinians are fucked, and history will view them as the aggressors.

The winers write history. Look at Germany. Germany will pay for their actions forever- even though they were not the worst of the 20th century.

Stalinand the CCP killed more.
