I agree with that statement.I would also agree if it said, "It is absolutely and logical to be opposed and deeply troubled by the attacks of the Hamas while simultaneously calling for the protection of innocent Palestinian civilians living in occupied territories as well as Muslims around the world. We can and must always use our voices to denounce terrorism and senseless murder of civilians."Of course, if there were not religious fanatics and powerful forces all around creating these hostilities, not of this would happen on either side.That is a statement I can support as well. When I say “go figure” in response earlier , the majority of the US and EU not only view words as “occupation” and “expulsion” as extremist language used by leftists who do not understand why strict security measures are needed. I had hoped that would be obvious Saturday, but I was incorrect.
Bri, it’s not fanaticism, fwiw I am not that religious. My heart goes out to the civilians wanting to live peacefully on both sides. But I have been very familiar with the lies and propaganda emerging from Palestine and amnesty intl in recent years
Until Palestinian leaders recognize Israel’s right to exist in peace as neighbors , peace seems impossible, as does relinquishing lands in West Bank unfortunately. I hope those that comment here who use extreme wording like “occupation” fully understand that the refusal to acknowledge Israel’s “right to exist” has an unavoidable impact on any solutions that may seem simple to them, but are offensive to many Israeli supporters. I say that always hoping Netanyahu loses and a more peaceful ( left leaning ) solution based leader can defeat him. I hope that is still an option after recent events
the solution will either be peace thru terror, or peace thru negotiation. There are no other realistic alternatives.
Palestinian leaders DID recognize Israel's right to exist, and then Israel kept up the occupation, stealing more territory and terrorizing the Palestinians. I haven't once seen you admit that Israel has gone against international laws several times. You don't think this has something to do with the uprising and gaining support of these terrorists?Provide specifics and evidence. We are referring to Hamas. As I’ve said repeatedly, Israel had multiple peace treaties with the PA and PLO to share the West Bank, which was before Hamas assumed control and violated the agreements. I think you are conflating Gaza with West Bank. The open air prison is Gaza which is not occupied. Israel monitors the borders to prevent importing of weapons.
How is it possible to occupy land that is run by a terrorist organization? You must know Hamas stated goal is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth? How do you reduce security under those conditions?
Is the West Bank run by a terrorist organization? Further, how does Israel “occupy” the West Bank?Hamas and the average Palestinian within Gaza are not one and the same.
Talk about conflation and the oversimplification of a complex region and conflict. Good lord.Good grief. Their military withdrew from Gaza 15 years ago.They monitor the Gaza border with Egypt to prevent importation of weapons, which obviously did not work.Let’s blame Israel for having to deal with violent authoritarian leaders and not being able to make peace with the average Palestinian. The double standard applied to Israel in that comment is unreal. Maybe Biden should make peace with nice guys Ovechkin and Malkin and stop his siege of Ukraine.
Brandon isn’t “sieging” Ukraine.
Let’s blame Israel for occupying the West Bank and East Jerusalem and strictly confining 2M+ people to approximately 140 square miles with approximately half the population under age 18.

But then found another about the evils of Israel. I guess it’s selective sympathy, aboriginal peoples in one part of the world get support, but in the mid east the indigenous have zero rights. Sounds borderline racist. Good thing that commenter was banned.

he was banned because he got fed up with idiocy. but as gimme said, you should read his comments on it. no disrespect, but compared to him, you don't have a hot clue (none of us do, really). But I read all of his comments. Even while I quietly despised him (LOL) for how to spoke down to people. And he knew what he was talking about. I learned a ton about the conflict and its origins and the bullshit that each side peddles with their own propaganda. especially Israel's.
and seriously, "the US and Europe agree...". that is the weakest fucking argument a person can make why they are correct on this topic. You ever stop to think why those two regions want/need Israel as an ally???
your claim that jews are indigenous to israel can't be proven. both jews and palestinians claims indigeneity. what is your proof? even this rabbi from New York disagrees with you:Obviously there is the caveat that there are indigenous people who ARE Jews, but it is not via their Jewishness. There are also Jews who have worked to fight for the rights of indigenous people, but it is not because they are indigenous via their Jewishness. 2/

I always felt badly that for some reason Byrnzie hated my guts. I only think of one person here who ever had that level of disdain for me and, thankfully, that person and I had decent closure.

Hmmm, I remember a time when calling out BLM as a domestic terrorist organization on this forum made some of y’all’s head spin. Perhaps some of y’all should bust out your BLM gear in solidarity w/ HAMAS. Truth hurts, I know….
