    If Israel wanted to end this they could. They’d get their hostages back and they’d get to mourn their dead.

    Instead they immediately moved to starve millions of people to spite, what Wikipedia claims is (ie. a likely exaggerated) 20,000 Hamas members, of which Israel can only count one to be officially killed by their actions so far.

    They’re now talking of a “final solution” for the “palestine problem”. Half are already homeless, trapped beside the border crossings that israel bombs if not to their liking. How long until Israel is either allowed to enact their “final solution” or instigates a regional conflict between countries trying to prevent that?

      Hamas could end the suffering if they cared about Palestinians, by surrendering.

        Real estate. Gaza is full of prime beachfront property. What exactly do you think the object of ethnic cleansing is?

            You asked why and I gave you the answer in the simplest terms possible. You educate yourself. European colonizers have spent the last 500 years destroying people around the world. We have an idea of what this shit looks like by now.

              Except Israelis are not European colonizers. They’ve been there as long as the Arabs and many Muslim recognize that.

            That’s so fucking stupid.

            The more I’m on the internet, the more I notice comments that start off like this are usually wrong and the poster is insecure.

            Your arguments should be able to stand on their own merits. Insulting as though you’re already correct just makes you look weak and unsure of yourself.

            As you get older, this becomes clearer.

            Dude Israel is run by religious extremists. If they gave a fuck about peace they wouldn’t have sabotaged every attempt at a peace deal with Palestine.

            If they didn’t want to wipe out Palestinians they wouldn’t support and protect illegal settlers.

            The motivation of right wing Israelis has been clear from the very beginning. They believe that land belongs to one religious group only and they won’t stop until that belief is fully realized.

        To drive Palestinians further off the small amount of land allotted to them?

        Same shit they’ve been doing with their settlements, but at a quicker pace this time.

        Best be quiet when adults are speaking
