The U.S. Is Giving Israel Permission for War Crimes
nymag.com

The article accuses Israel of potentially committing war crimes in its conflict with Hamas, focusing on a siege on Gaza, airstrikes harming civilians, and evacuation orders. It criticizes the U.S. for not condemning Israel's actions and emphasizes the need for diplomatic solutions. The piece argues that Israel's approach could backfire politically and suggests that there's no military solution to the conflict. It calls for the U.S. to exercise influence to deter such actions, asserting it's in the interests of both the U.S. and Israel to prevent further civilian casualties and maintain regional stability.

What is Israel supposed to do? They got proof that Palestinians will never live with them in peace. In fact, they got that proof for centuries, but only now it's plain as day. Is Israel supposed to lose this war? Are they seriously the only country in this world which isn't allowed to defend itself? They owe nothing to Palestinians. They owe everything to the kidnapped who are still to this second held captive under savages who rape women and parade distorted bodies.

ISRAEL’S OCCUPATION: 50 YEARS OF DISPOSSESSION.

This Amnesty International article from 2017 discusses the challenges faced by Palestinians in the West Bank due to Israeli military closures and restrictions. These include checkpoints, roadblocks, and settler-only roads that make daily tasks like commuting to work or school difficult. The construction of a 700-km fence/wall, ostensibly for security reasons, has disrupted Palestinian communities, separated families, and hindered access to essential services and resources. The article also addresses issues of water allocation, highlighting the disparity between Israeli and Palestinian water consumption. The international community is called upon to recognize and rectify these injustices and restrictions in the occupied territories.

It's the only artificial country in the world, created by the US and his friends, on land with previous owners. They routinely keep pushing the limits of their land, with or without armed conflicts/excuses. They kick people from their houses, common people, civilians. If they don't comply, they are executed in plain daylight, in the street. They shield themselves behind persecution propaganda, calling everyone antisemitic for pointing the obvious, when this is not about them being jews, they are systematically exterminating people.

You see, Israel existing as a country, is not only against jewish tradition (read about that), but it's also against common sense. How a conflict like this can be solved, when Israel keeps killing civilians every year, since it's foundation. It's like having a 9/11 every three months, sure as hell that radicalizes every sane person. Since it's inception, Israel only has taken land, and killed people. What would you do in the shoes of a common Palestinian? Think about that.

I'm not pro Hamas, don't get me wrong. I'm just pro common sense, Israel existing as a country was a fucking mistake. Supporting them military and financially was another mistake. Giving them green card to fucking exterminate and steal land from other people for more that 70 fucking years it's just evil. Decades of systemic genocide, what in the fucking hell did you expect to happen? Decades of calling for help, exposing human rights violations, fighting with whatever resources you have, lead to this savage nightmare attitude. This people are giving back some of what they have received for almost a century.

Would you just tolerate that if Native Americans did that on your country? They were here first, so they have every right to kick you out of your house, or kill you if you resist? The fuck you are, you are grabbing a fucking rifle and fighting back. C'mon, even Putin is trying to do the same thing in Ukraine and we are against him because common sense, why it's failing that reasoning for us here?

You blame every Palestinian death on Israel? Seriously? Maybe condem them for the war of 48, but that was 80 years ago, and it was started by Palestinians (and other arab nations who were just racist towards jews) but people in Palestine don't live miserable lives purely because of israel. They have sky high poverty, dysfunctional leadership, an education system focused on murdering your neighbours. What will come out of a people wanting to just rebel against everyone? They rebelled in Jordan, they rebelled in Egypt, they rebelled in Lebanon, and they rebel in Israel. What this people need is a country to take them in, not trying to build another failed country in the middle east (whilst killing/exiling 7 million people in the process, as they oh so desire). Israel would never think of kicking out Palestinians from gaza/west bank if they developed themselves instead of focusing on death. They don't want this headache of terrorist neighbours. Two states isn't and wasn't EVER an option in the eyes of Palestinians. But the jews DO need a state. They're prosecuted all over the world, and without a country to defend them, things like the Holocaust happen. The situation got to this degree because of both parties involved. Palestinians who are head against the wall only wanting death, and Israel who focuses solely on defending themselves, with little regard on how civillians on the other side are living. Of course that with conditions as bad as those terrorists will spawn, but that's not on Israel to blame - that's on the palestinian leadership. Israel faulted with not trying to give Palestinians proper leadership that'll advance them out of poverty and terror. And I failed to understand your native Americans comparison. The natives are Palestinians, so yeah Israel grabs a gun and fight back. It's their home for 80 years, of course they'll fight for it. It's common sense. They're not invaders from outside, every Israeli fighting now was born there.
