This comment is exactly why there is no hope out there. Literally zero understanding of middle-Eastern geopolitics other than trite slogans.

Come on. Do you think everyone is going to suddenly start holding hands and singing kumbaya? Or more realistically, like nearly every other surrounding state it'll be the elimination and exodus of Jews and Israelis?

Carpet bombing, artillery and gunfire hasn’t brought peace, but maybe the next salvo will, right?

  • Ballistic rockets and massacring people at music festivals don't either.

    There's no moral high ground here so don't even pretend there is one.

      Hamas didn't have prior knowledge of the festival, and partygoers were also murdered by the Israeli army. And in general flattening entire cities don't leave their habitants very keen toward Israel either. It just reinforces the cycle of aggression, which allows Israel to take more land.

    • Genocide, apartheid, and 50 years of terrorism murder of children, destruction of hospitals, churches, schools, universities and imprisonment of a people’s in a Ghetto (yes, a fucking ghetto) is the moral bottom however. Israel is indefensible morally.

    • That's a crazy way to defend an ongoing genocide. The scale is so different that the only way to miss it is willful bad faith.

      How long and how far do you go with that justification? Does it work the other way too? Are "their" actions justified forever because of something wrong that was done to them? Can anyone in the world do to you anything and everything forever if they were ever wronged by someone born in the same general geographic area as you?

      Whenever you find yourself defending any genocide, under any excuse, defending the killing of innocent children because some other guys from the same general area also killed people, you are the bigger problem and no amount of fresh accounts justifying it makes you better.

There is one other possibility: Finish the genocide. Finish ethnically cleansing the region and put the remaining Palestinians into reservations. After a while once the current threat is eliminated, Israel can become Greater Israel and the Israelis can do land acknowledgements while they enjoy their new Riviera and Gaza.

This has been happening to Jews everywhere they’ve been since the dawn of time. Maybe some introspection would help.

  • By that logic muslims are even more hated, because their behaviour is uniform across democratic country.

  • Pretty disgusting to tell Jews they have to own Israel’s genocide (among other crimes against humanity)
