Israel's military chief said "Now is the time for war" as his country amassed tanks near the Gaza Strip ahead of a planned ground invasion to annihilate the Palestinian militant Hamas group that rules the enclave and was behind deadly weekend attacks.
You're a fucking idiot. Do you know anything about the history of the region? I do not condone the killing of civilians, but the people of Gaza are in effectively an open air concentration camp. If you back an animal into a corner, you shouldn't be surprised when it bites you.
The violence of the oppressed can not be compared to the violence of the oppressor. If you punch me in the face unprovoked, that's entirely different from me punching you back in self defense.
The people of Israel are settlers who, by and large, have not lived their whole lives there. Benjamin netanyau grew up in Philadelphia for fuck's sake. Those people largely chose to bring their children into a war zone. They could just as easily have left. The Palestinians who's land is being actively stolen from them have no where else to go!
The Israeli government has the choice to end this conflict. They could grant Palestinians equal rights, end settlement in the West Bank, provide Palestinians a right of return, and formulate a long-standing peace plan tomorrow.
They choose to not make progress towards any of those things though. They choose to continue treating Palestinians like cattle to be caged and slaughtered. As far as I'm concerned, any fresh perpetrated by Hamas is a direct result of Israeli policy.
Eat shit. You're a genocide denier, plain and simple.
Any settler with citizenship elsewhere should leave, stolen land given back to Palestinians, massive reparations paid, and the current Israeli government dissolved and replaced with a single Palestine government fairly representing all.
Barring that, at least stop genociding Palestinians, that would be a decent start.
It’s not like they’re attacking Israel for no reason - they’ve had their home stolen, their people slaughtered, and what’s left of them concentrated into a small, extremely dense outdoor prison. Their violence is only a reflection of Israeli violence.

That's what could be done.
