How about we talk about the very obvious fact that Israel is acting very much like Nazis right now? Besides Russia, they're the only country in the world with an ongoing occupation of another country, and even worse than Russia is that they've been doing it for 50-60 years with systemic discrimination and oppression of the people of the country which they invaded and occupied. How about that much simpler fact that is recognized by the international community?

I don't know whether you're flat out stupid or just deaf. Everybody in the world, including the US recognizes that what Israel is doing at the West Bank are totally illegal, that's not even their territory. So why don't you go learn some math? What Israel is doing is exactly what Russia is doing. Invading and occupying a foreign country. What's the Ukrainian doing in return? Are you condoning their acts of "murder"? Go learn some math.

You need better sources than Wikipedia and you need more than 4 cases, dummy. Because if you had learned some math in school, 4 cases is in no way representation of hundreds of thousands of people. Clear on that?

@Gragon What part of the current state of the people being oppressed don't you understand? The violence against Israel stems from the fact that the very existence of Israel immoral. There should have never been an Israel, That was Palestinian's land during the British rule and the British gave away lands that they colonialized. People living on that territory has existed far before Israel, go learn some math. All suffering must end, one side has been suffering way more than the other side.

@Gragon No, that is very reasonable. Cause that is a fact. Literally the fleeing of Jews from Europe to that specific location is what constitutes the Israel population today, not anything else. For the last 200 years, they didn't live there as long as the Palestinians. what acts are terrorism by definition is subjective, go grab a dictionary . Now of course they already live there and give them no land is no feasible, to give them the current amount of land they're currently occupying is insane. They just take those land by force, in the modern world, that shouldn't be allowed. It wasn't allowed when Iraq invaded Kuwait, and it isn't being allowed now when Russia invades Ukraine. So go learn some math, pal. It's pretty clear which side is in the wrong. It's a lot clearer than any other conflict.

So are you just really bad at math or you're a total dummy? Israel has been constantly expanding their territory since the 1960s, they're currently one of two countries in the world with nukes that are illegally occupying another country, this is not an opinion, this is a fact recognized by the international community, specifically the UN and even 14 out of 15 members of the UN Security Council except for US. The other one is Russia in Ukraine.

That's not how it works, dummy. How do I explain this easy to you, one country wage war on you doesn't mean you're allowed to execute and oppress everybody that has the ties to such country. It's like saying if Russia wage war on Ukraine, Ukraine has the authority to execute every Russian origin or Russian citizens on it's land. They do not. That's literally a war crime. A war is fought between militias, the immoral act of the Israeli army is acted upon literal civilians, back in the past and literally now. There was a war, but there shouldn't have been a war. Because Israel is not a real country, a bunch of people who want to have their own country take the lands that is not theirs, kill a bunch of other people who already live their and declare their own land. Do you see how sick that is? That isn't allowed in the modern society. This isn't the 8th century.

I don't know if you're really dumb or you're really bad at math. Whatever act the Palestinians did is in no way as drastic and as widespread as what the Israelis are doing now. Do you get that? Because Palestine never occupied Israel and oppressed millions of people systematically for 50 years. Both sides might have done some bad things, but one side did infinitely worse things. Do you see the difference? Go learn some math.

Why don't you go learn some math, little buddy. A few little bombings conducted by independent bad actors compared to the systematic oppression of over 2 million people by a illegally occupying government.

What do you mean efforts of making peace, Israel literally invaded them and occupied their territory. Which part of that don't you understand? You invaded over 90% of their territory and you gave back 0.5% of the land you stole and you call that making peace? Not to mention the discriminatory treatment of people among the remaining 89.5% of the territory that you're still illegally occupying. This isn't an opinion of any kind, no country, not even the US recognizes Israeli occupied territory being Israel's land. What Israel is doing is literally Russia is doing, there's no difference there, they're invading territory that they has no jurisdiction recognized by the international community, specifically the UN. So go learn some math. Arab with Israeli citizenship have high standards of living, true. Unfortunately the Israelis are just oppressing countless countless more Arabs who are not Israeli citizens. For an advanced country, you people certainly have very limited capability of logical thinking or is it you're just straight up inhumane? Go learn some math.

And your source is what? The media literally owned by Jewish media mogul? Darling, a few 14 years old kid attacking soldiers with a knife doesn't allow you to kill all 14 years old you think that has a knife. Not allowed to do that. And again, they only do that when Israel already oppressing by occupying their lands. Do you understand that what Israel is doing now is illegal by every standard in the world? Their occupying territory is recognized and ratified by nobody. Of course the Arabs won't accept Jews in their lands, because that's not Jew's land, the Jews can have the region that the British gave to them, despite the British have no right to do so, but the Jews definitely can not just go an invade whatever country they like and occupy whatever lands they want. Go learn some math, pal.

You are insane, pal. The compromise of the Israeli side is we're occupying your territory, take it or leave it. That's not compromisation. That's oppression by force. It's not whether they recognize a Palestinian State, it's that the Palestinian State in which they recognize doesn't include a gigantic piece of land where the Palestinian people are living on. Israel was never supposed to exist at all. Go learn some math.

Well, war times requires drastic measures. But you're correct, education would've made the Palestinians a lot stronger and far easier for them to repel the Israeli invasion force.

@pikapi6993 First of all, the country of Israel shouldn't exist at it's current location. Because that's not their lands anymore, the British colonized Palestine and give away Palestine's land to the "Israel", you can't just do that in the modern world. I don't care if your ancestors lived there thousands of years ago, in the last few hundreds, they no longer do. The current state of Israel is built on stolen land, that's a given, some of those stolen land are legal under international law and is recognized by the international community, that's the part where the British gave away to them. Another huge part is totally illegal under internation law, no country recognize their current occupation of Palestine as their land, especially Jerusalem. So I don't know why you think the victims of an invaded country is more dangerous than the invaders. Go learn some math. Even if you want a Jewish State, you can't just commit barbaric activities, violate human rights, destroy other people home to build your state, that's insane. Go buy the land from somewhere else. How would you like if the Jewish State just decide that they want to build their state at your home country and divide into pieces, discriminate against your countrymen?
1
You are not allowed to commit crimes against humanity and steal the lands just because your ancestors lived there thousands of years ago. It's over, their land ownership expired since they haven't lived there for hundreds of years. Ancient Israel has no place in modern society, modern society takes into account only the status of modern countries and nations. Otherwise people will just wage war endlessly based on who can go back the furthest.

Are you insane, dummy? The houses which are in dispute existed since the Ottoman age, which means there was jurisdiction, the illegal occupiers, which are illegally occupying their country under international recognition. They ignore such documents. It's not that there are no documents, it's that the corrupt Israel government intentionally ignores legal documents. He literally said it in the interview. Documents stated ownership of lands back in the Ottoman age are ignored by the racist government. Why don't you go learn some math?
