Urim has been Israeli since the country came into existence.
There’s so much propaganda from both sides that I don’t know what to believe about who, but Israel has only been a country since 1948 - that’s after the invention of the Jeep, microwave ovens, Frisbees, jet aircraft, etc.
I’m not aware of the agreement made with Palestine for the land, but I’ve seen enough videos of Israelis near the border, both citizens and uniformed men, throwing Palestinians out of their houses so Israelis could live there. Not to mention the violent acts.
If you want to lawyer around about historical shit, you can, and I can’t stop you. But any decent human being with a fucking soul doesn’t care for your pedantic bullshit when there’s hundreds of innocent people dead on the ground.
If there is 6000 people in a square kilometre you can always blame the use of “human shields” to distract from the fact that you are bombing densely populated area and your “surgical strikes” are not that surgical.
Ah, I’m “lawyering around about historical shit” (historical being within a lifetime) but I’m the one with a cold dead soul because hundreds of “the good people” who stole the land died, and you’re the one with a heart of gold who thinks it’s lol-worthy and likes to make jokes when tens of thousands of “the bad people” die fighting for their stolen land.
Let me know when you want to attempt to argue in good faith, because as I said from the beginning I’m not well educated on the subject, and your tactics are failing.
Are you trying to guess what my reply would be? If not, you seriously need to look in the mirror bud.
Hamas is a terrorist organization. They are horrific and should all be taken care of… take that how you will. Palestinians and Israel is should be able to live in peace. This much is self evident and shouldn’t be up for debate like you’re trying to do.
But Israel lobbing back over bombs and killing innocent civilians is the Spider-Man pointing at himself meme.
So if you encountered a criminal holding an innocent person hostage, you would shoot the hostage on the off chance that you might also hit the criminal. You would then shoot the paramedic trying to save the hostages’ life.
Your version of the trolley problem must be pretty wack.
you couldnt have a sillier interpretation of your own fantasy scenario.
I would shoot for the criminal. Who, being the peice of shit he is, like Hamas, is likely to throw the hostage into the line of fire and whine about how much of a monster you are.
You’re version of the trolley problem is as cooked as the wheels on woolies trollies
Yeah, and the Jews were driven out by the people who stole the land from them, which eventually ended up in the hands of the Ottomans, who then gave it to your mother’s family. Go back far enough and everyone has stolen land from someone else. What Israel is doing is fucked up, but they have a historical claim to the land as well.
Arguing that it’s your land now because you’ve had it for a long time is like Americans trying to claim that they don’t benefit from colonization and have an unquestionable claim to the US because none of them were around when the native populations were slaughtered and forced into reservations. It’s not right to expect you to get up and leave at this point, but ignoring the fact that the land you’re sitting on was stolen is also wrong. It wasn’t really the Ottoman’s land to give.
It’s recent enough that the Palestinians still see the Israelis as recent occupiers, but far enough in the past that the Israelis have had several generations grow up there and see it as their home.
So the Israelis don’t see themselves as occupiers while the Palestinians do.
A 1-state solution is impractical at this point, but a 2-state solution leaves them as bitter enemies with a shared border neither side agrees on.
It’s a hopelessly fucked situation created by people who have been dead for decades, and I don’t think anyone knows a clean way out of it.
The only solutions are for them to share the space, which is pretty much impossible given the hatred, for them to divide the space, which will keep them at way with each other, or to let one side or the other have it all and end up with millions displaced or killed.
But regardless of who is right and wrong and who should be allowed to live there and who shouldn’t, I think we can all agree that murdering innocent civilians is wrong whether Israel is doing it or Hamas.
When Israel commits atrocities, they should be called out. When Hamas commits atrocities they should as well.
All of this brings to question whether or not the West should support Israel as one side. And that’s a hard question to answer. The West created this situation, and really shouldn’t just wash its hands of all responsibility.
As bad as Israel has been, the West can’t really walk away because they would be genocided. It’s been seen time and again that Iran, Hamas, Israel, Jordan, and others are perfectly happy to wipe them out.
I personally think that instead of supplying Israel with weapons the West should have boots on the ground as peacekeeping forces. They should protect Israel AND Palestine from attacks. By supplying Israel, the West is complicit in their attacks on Palestinians and in the establishment of illegal settlements.

Hmm
I know. Hamas is bad at killing Israelis. But they keep trying it.
They’re also very good at using human shields.

Hamas propaganda videos don’t count as documented evidence.

And there you go, dehumanizing the victims and justifying their murder.
Sounds familiar

Then the Gazans need to stop sheltering Hamas.

That’s because it was owned by the British. Before them the Ottomans, Romans, and Israelites.

Damn, that is heavy and it really doesn’t seem like there’s any way for an eventual good peaceful outcome without a lot of bloodshed leading up to it.
Thank you for taking the time to educate me on the subject instead of getting into a keyboard war. You wear the halo this evening.
