they are right. gaza is an apartheid state. all power to the palestinians

Isreal has a blockade of goods into gaza, determining which goods go in and which do not. Israel determines the amount of food that can enter Gaza, and in leaked documents has been found saying they “need to put palestinians on a diet”, reducing the amount of food entering an already poverty-stricken region.

Israel controls the electricity that flows into Gaza, and they regularly bomb the one power-plant that exists in Gaza.

All power to Palestinian liberation

Murdering civilians is never a proper answer to any historical injustice

The only proper way to solve any conflict is to get two teams of moral philosophers to discuss the issue until an agreement can be reached.

Anyway, we live in the real world, so yeah those civvies are gonna get it.

ESH. Israel is committing what is described above (war crimes), and Palestine is retaliating by committing war crimes.

I agree. Israel should stop murdering children, protestors and aid workers. Decades ago.

No civilians were murdered, only soldiers and settlers and in self defense.

If there were any liberation movement, all power to it. Sadly, it looks like there is only Hamas.

Remember, kids, a religious organization NEVER fights for your freedom.

“I’m all for a liberation movement but I’d rather the Palestinians ask me how to do it than what they’re currently doing”

To be honest, they are right. I’m not condoning Hamas, but we could have had peace if the Israel conservative party was so hell bent in pushing an antisemitism against Palestine for so many years.

Still doubt that; Iran would not like to see Israel exist if it were up to them

Oh for sure, they definitely have their own agendas and are taking advantage of the situation to try and advance it, but that doesn’t make it any less true

The Israel/Palestine situation feels a lot like the situation between Native Americans and European settlers. You can’t move into an already occupied place and try to dominate or displace the native inhabitants without expecting violent resistance. (And go figure the British are largely to blame for this too).

Stop ignoring history Jews were living on that territory for thousands of years, unlike Europeans un America. You are conveniently ignoring facts which would immediately render your analogy completely bogus.

And the native Americans weren’t? You’re the one ignoring history or intentionally misunderstanding the analogy.

Case A: population X came to a new land and killed almost all of population Y which lived there before.

Case B: population X came back to their homeland, got attacked by population Y, won the war, didn’t not kill population Y, regularly tried to establish truce with population Y which continues to refuse the population X’s right to exist.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran appeared to back Hamas in its escalating conflict with Israel on Saturday.

The Palestinian militant group launched a mass attack on Israeli forces and settlements, killing at least 100 people in Israel and about 200 in Gaza early Saturday.

While leaders in the U.S. and Europe quickly denounced the attack and gave support for Israel, the three Middle Eastern nations criticized the country over its treatment of Palestinians.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is closely following the developments of the unprecedented situation between a number of Palestinian factions and the Israeli occupation forces, which has resulted in a high level of violence on several fronts there,” the country’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the conflict a “war” in a public address early Saturday.

The U.S. has vowed to support Israel, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin saying the government will ensure the country “has what it needs to defend itself.”


The original article contains 425 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
