    And the Palestinians are bombed where? in the skies? they are being bombed on their own land that was stolen from them, and in the refugee camps they are forced to live in. Internally displaced on their own land.

          Palestinians are not a target of bombings in Gaza, they're sad casualties of the realities of war and conflict. Bombing non-military targets is never okay, but there's limits to the precision of weapons in use today.

            There are two ways to read this:

            1. You are lying and know that you are lying
            2. You are genuinely naive and misled

            If 2, then maybe this will help make it clear to you that the occupation military always intended to target and kill as many civilians as possible:

            “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.

            “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.

              I have not voiced my support for the Netantahu government, and am failing to see the connection to the United States official policy for a 2 state solution.

                The US government has though and everyone knows that Netanyahu always opposed a Palestinian state. Netanyahu has been playing the US as a sock puppet for years.

                Here was when he scammed the US into invading Iraq: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHzSr52fZLQ

                      "Meanwhile, most of protestors in Tel Aviv are wary of making this connection and are horrified by speakers who try to connect the palpable risk to democracy with the occupation of the territories or the waving of Palestinian flags in protest. However, the moment may well come when they too will recognize that there is no democracy alongside occupation."

                      Haven't I been reiterating my support and official US policy for a 2 state solution?

                          Palestinians would want two states so they can govern themselves in a sovereign nation, while concurrently Israel can do the same.

                            Palestinians need a state I agree, not sure what the second state would be for

                            Most of the world already recognized Palestinian statehood by the way, not the US or the civilized and european west though

                              The second state would be the counterpart to Palestine in a 2 state solution. Based on historical context, this would be the Israeli government.

                                Israel isn't a real state, it's a neoimperialist attack dog that occasionally forgets its leash. It's theft and murder incarnate. If you really consider historical context to be important and still hold to a two-state solution as the ideal outcome, then I'm sorry, you're lacking a great deal of historical context and haven't the right to invoke it here.

                                  Unfortunately the stain of religion has caused the fruition of needless casualties throughout the centuries. As the world becomes more atheistic over time due to the nature of scientic discovery, my hopes for change grow.

                                    Broadly speaking, religion is not diminished by scientific discovery, it is diminished by people's material needs being met and their prospects looking good. Our friend Marx called that one a long time ago, but modern studies on secularization say the same thing.

                                    But Israel/Palestine is not about religion except as a smokescreen. It is about race, specifically an overwhelmingly white population of settler colonists creating and expanding an ethnostate. The aggrievement of the Palestinians is not that Jews exist, but that their homes were taken and their family members and friends were butchered like animals.

                                      It is most definitely rooted in religious conflict and it'd be naive to think otherwise.

                                          I've never said western colonialism hasn't had it's negative impacts, but this is grossly minimalizing historical context.

                                                What they are correctly suggesting is that your thesis is ignoring Israel's context as a settler-colony authored by Britain to enable what amounted to the mass-expulsion of Holocaust refugees from Europe to run an ethnostate in the Middle East that would act as an instrument for its interests.

                                                The idea of religious conflict being the main element is completely absurd. A truly Jewish state would not forcibly sterilize Ethiopian Jews

                                                  I never claimed Britans handling of the relocation of Jewish people was perfect, many things could've been handled differently, however the conflict around Jerusalem is much older than you suggest and riddled with religious interests. Religion should not guide modern policy. At most religion should act as, "an opiate of the masses."

                                                    That conflict is a fiction invented by zionists that has only the most tenuous analogy to anything in actual history. The small number of Jewish Palestinians who were used as part of the smokescreen are out of the picture at this point, as Israel is overwhelmingly and aggressively white and has no interest is helping either Jewish or Muslim Arabs. The modern state of Israel is not based on those conflicts, there is no causal continuity, that is just a lie you have been fed. It's a white colony that is as connected to that inter-Palestinian conflict as the Nazis were connected to the Arabs of Ancient India, it's just something some racial supremacists conjured up for their fascist mythology.
