People always try to negotiate more than they are offered, but if they end up getting less than the original offer they can't really complain. At the end of the day, there needs to be a two-state solution. I am by no means advocating that the Palestinians should be put on the street homeless. Serious negotiations need to take place. However, that can only happen when the terrorists are eliminated. That make take awhile. Hamas isn't going to go down without a fight. This is their Jihad. They will take as many people as possible with them before they are eliminated from this earth... okay so just so i understand - you wouldn’t have been ok with the offer, but they should have been, in 1948? hamas isn’t the first terrorist organization in Palestine, it won’t be the last. If you wipe them out by blowing up apartment buildings, and keep building settlements in the West Bank, guess what comes next? the PLO renounced violence as demanded by the Palestinian people, to enter negotiations with Israel. In that time, Israel kept building settlements, kept the occupation, kept apartheid conditions, and refused to let anyone who was driven from their homes come back to their town. The reason Hamas exists today is because the PLO choosing peace failed, and the intl community DGAF about the Palestinian people. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that would be saying something. Playing two sides of a conflict for decades though that has resulted in death/hate. They would have blood on their hands and it would probably end up pushing Israel into Putin's arms. They would gain more to lose. Well I didn't mean US gonvernment is doing it on purpose. More that the arms dealers are profiting from it by having a third neutral party like the Saudis buying arms legitimately and then those funneled towards others without explicit consent or knowledge of the US. It is well known some of these terrorist organizations have their hands on US made weapons and obtained them one way or another. Sometimes actually from the US gonvernment. Al Queda and Taliban says hi on that front. Edited October 11, 2023 by 24K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the PLO that they could negotiate with and so far Israel have not done so in any sort of good faith. There is also in no world where the current PLO is considered a terrorist organization. Israel have failed to conduct negotiation and saying they can't negotiate about plalestine because of Hamas being terrorist is a false crutch.The PLO arguably have more international legitimacy and standing than Hamas.

Odd. Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) It’s not just Palestine. Israel is and has been involved and responsible for oppression throughout history all over the globe. off the top my head: funding the Hutu militia to commit one the worst genocides in our history in Rwanda. Using Israel made weapons. Strong allies to the South African apartheid regime. Funded again Israel made weapons and armoury to participate in the ethnic cleansing of the native black people. Supporting Zionist leaders who put Nelson Mandela to life in prison and actively engaged in propaganda to affectively keep apartheid alive. The Sebrenica genocide. Israel trained and again provided weaponry to Serbian forces to exterminate my people in Bosnia. Participated in an ethnic cleansing of 500000 Bosnian-Croatians. They harboured war criminals who were involved in mass rapes and torture and gave them israeli citizenship. I am anti Zionist. Throughout history Israel has continued to be on the wrong side of history. Fuck that Edited October 11, 2023 by Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Odd. Posted October 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2023 That said I am 100% against what Hamas did and they are equally terrible. Innocent children and women have been brutally murdered by both sides. It is truly shameful. I hate Hamas with passion and shame on anyone who are pro Hamas whether you hate Israel or not. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 The only thing I feel I can say about this is the whole thing sucks. I'm not going to even pretend I remotely know everything in this; nor do I even have a side. I feel for the families who are forced to be caught up in this. They seem to be the ones who lose the most unfortunately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land conquered happens after a war when the treaty is signed, and highly dependent of the circumstances. During a war, it's seized. The Israeli-Palestine conflict has been happening for how long now?

In the other cases investigated, the security forces killed boys after they had joined other youths confronting Israeli forces with stones, Molotov cocktails, or fireworks. Sounds like self defence to me. Is this all you got? How about the babies? How many have they killed and beheaded? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes those kids where killed after being targeted in the moment. Fuck off with the parents talking shit part. Yes I have kids. I am aware that IDF have done atrocious things to the Palestinians. However I am also confident that at no time senior Israeli commanders have sat around and made plans to specifically kill children and civilians. Hamas has done exactly that though. Fighting terrorists that use civilians as shields gets messy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
