I’m pretty sure the comment was referencing the Israeli hostages. Are Gazans hostages. Ya id agree. And still it would boil down to the terrorist with babies strapped on them. International and moral law does not dictate that you cannot touch a terrorist because they willfully attempt to maximize civilian deaths.
I can think that the creation of a state for Jews can be supported. The manner wasn’t justified. But the idea in of it is very easy to justify with a group that historically has been among if not the most persecuted ethnic group in history. A group that has been expelled from nearly ever nation in the world at least once, it feels, like jews might have probably the best argument out of just about anyone for a place to call their own where they can defend themselves. Jews even in the US are still by far the biggest victims of hate crime.
I do think Palestinians did have a right to fight Israel, but obviously not terrorism and this is where you and i will disagree with no possibility of reconciliation. But Israel managed to hang on and largely on their own resources pre-1960s. Hell the largest land increase Israel has ever had was the result of a war and the land was given to them for peace.
But in the modern era, even though the original foundation was not justified, the only reasonable path towards peace is for the 2 state solution with the support if Saudi Arabia and other Islamic nations to help enforce and encourage peace. Israel will never give up the Israeli state and the collapse of Israel will result in the genocide of the Israelis there as is the explicit and stated goals of most groups opposed to Israel in the area and has been demonstrated. But a scared Israel fighting for their life would be a disaster for Palestinians.
That is unique. I don’t think 99% of people would share nor understand this point. Fascinating. Well at least it is morally consistent. Honeslty based. Still dont approve but as long as you stick to your moral frame I can at least understand some of it. I guess the next natural question is how far that should extend? E.g. what is the cut off? Can Israel, using argument, claim that they are justified because of the ancestral land? As an example.
“Not exactly white” If you consider the Israelis in Israel as white, as you clearly do, then you are just as white at least.
And why not condemn evil acts just because you think the people are oppressed? Navajo mentally unwell guy goes into your home and kills your loved ones. Do you clap and say “yas queen take back that land!” No you don’t because that is stupid and inhuman. Being unable to condemn something so easily identifiable is ridiculous. Btw I’ll still take your stuff if you are offering. Just need to know where to go.
An isolated tunnel? Probably. Because Israel has free movement in their own territory and can organize that. Do you honestly think that Israel can just freely organize the surgical removal of thousands of tunnels away from the iron dome? What a dumb ass statement. Do you actually think about what you type?
I talk all the time to friends who are extremely Pro-Palestine. I love discussing and arguing with them. Not one of them blatantly supports terrorism like you. And of course you don’t want to engage with anything. Engaging with anything would require you to think and form your first thought. Can’t have that. Too spooky. Also please please please go talk to your friends about how you support terrorism and it is justified. Like I said show them the videos of Hamas murdering, raping, and torturing civilians and geefully tell them how you love how these ‘freedom fighters’ are hitting back finally. I often wonder how people like you end up the way you are. Probably never struggled in life huh? Biggest struggle you had in your life was probably putting down a fork and having to become an adult. What a privilege.
