I am not 60, but I have lived in this conflict
I was a primary school girl when I got my first gas mask (and yes, I know that is not the Palestinian attacking directly)
I am used to the sounds of sirens
I know people who lost their lives in buses exploding and restaurants blown to bits.
Enough is enough.
Enough.
Enough for the death
Enough for the blindness to the people who just have to live under terror and accept it.
Netanyahu didn't make Hamas
But Hamas made Netanyahu and his government.
The utter lack of support and empathy from the world, the utter lack of outcry when children got blown to bits on their way to school made Netanyahu and his extreme right government.
And the more Israel is blamed, and the less empathy for Jewish life, while out of control, unfair unbalanced accusations and blame, the worst it gets for everyone.
Empathy is needed for both sides.
People say Palestinian lost hope
Maybe they did, but so did Israel.
Israel feels they must protect themselves, because no one else will, and no one will blink if Hamas managed to annihilate Israel with everyone in it.
Enough is enough
But how do you think that can happen?
By demonising one side to the point of making them not want to talk to you?
It is not working.
It made Netanyahu and his extreme government.

Nope...
No one thinks he will bring peace.
And his foreign affairs ideology doesn't matter because he can't do anything without 100% of the coalition supporting him, and at least one party is centre left, one is extream left and one is representing Arab Israeli's
He can't do anything.
What he can do is improve internal affairs which are important to the citizens of Israel despite not being taken in to account by people that only see Israel as an entity on the news while ignoring the fact it is a country with people to look after and not only pops in to existence while discussing the Palestinian Israeli war.
Netanyaho had wrecked the country in many ways that do not matter to outsiders but matter to insiders, there is a lot to fix.
Please remember, if you can dismiss an entire country, an entire people, in one word or one sentence, than that just points towards shallow judgemental xenophobic attitude which I doubt is what you meant.
The Israeli voted for more reasons than any relationship with any other country, Israeli''s all tried to vote for whoever they thought will keep them safe, improve the infrastructure (the Israeli Arab villages and the ultra orthodox infrastructure is in need of immediate repair) strengthening the police (under Bibi the police went without a head for two years which contributed to the miron disaster) strengthening and empowering the education system access the sectors, and many other issues.
As to peace, sadly it is not close yet, one day (hopefully not too far away) leaders will be elected on both sides that will reach a peace agreement, peace can never be one sided, both sides must have leaders wanting peace.
Now I doubt any of them do.
The Palestinian leaders the Hammas refuse to acknowledge Israel's right to exist, and that for some reason gets zero bad press, and now, we have an Israeli leader (who is blocked on doing anything about his ideology) that refuses to recognise the Palestinians.
We are no closer to peace.
But no further.
Hating and attacking Jews is not helping
Hating and attacking Muslims or other religion Arabs is not helping.
Too much hate is out there.
The more Jews are attacked out side of Israel, the more radical Jews join Israel.
Because when Jews move to Israel out of fear of antisemitic attacks abroad, they feel they must fight for their lives in order to not march to the camps again.
So...
In summary.
Israeli leaders are elected exactly like every other country, for what the people think they can do for their people, in many aspects that anti Israeli/ antisemitic people will not think about since it requires understand that Jews are just people.
And attacking Israel by default and attacking Jews as a hobby, is delaying peace, and strengthening the extreme right in Israel, who believe that Jews must be strong or the world will happily be silent while they are marched to the camps again.
Want to help Palestinians?
Do so.
Want to spread hate towards Israeli's and Jews just because they are Israelis and Jews, go ahead but that makes you antisemitic and anti Palestinian.

Because they are not terrorists
They are fighting a war
War has people killed
Hamas tell you all the killed are civilians, if you think it makes sense 0% combatants were killed, then you are a bit slow minded.
Haven said that, civilians were killed.
Just like in all wars, but that doesn't make anyone a terrorist.
More over, I do think some things will need looking in to, but still, not everything is terrorism.
Terrorism is acting in an intentional way aimed to cause fear.
Those parties and screams don't look scared.
They don't look terrified
Not everyone who you don't like is a terrorist.
Some very bad people even are not terrorists.
Terrorism doesn't aim to kill
It aims to scare
For example, blowing up buses and restaurants like Hamas kept doing in the 90s and 2000s is terrorism
On the other hand, what happened in Syria is not, even though it was very bad, it aimed to just kill, not terrify

First of all, you have zero proof for your numbers and again, you assume that none were combatants.
We know 18 year olds are called children by hamas, but are combatants.
So are women, we saw in the videos of the release hostages, women Hamas combatants.
But let's say your number are right, and all civilians.
In WW1 the allies killed 700,000 German civilians.
So are they terrorists by your definition?
I don't agree that definition of terrorism is by number of people
The losing side will always have more casualties
As to cutting food water etc
I don't think it should have happened
I think it needs serious looking in to
I think it is wrong
I think it is under a different category, and I don't mean it is less bad than terrorism, I only mean they are two very bad things that are not the same thing.
I think it is important to use the correct words for things, and not just throw accusations and words that are wrong for the situation
It is unhelpful because it makes a bad thing seem no true because it is called by the wrong name

So many antisemitic responses.
You really don't get it.
Every time you call all Israeli's evil, every time you call all Israeli's murders, and blood thirsty you make Israeli''s feel it doesn't matter what they do, they will be criticised and demonised.
It is always the same response no matter what Israel or Israeli''s do, say or think, so what is the point of caring about opinions of people that would say the same hatful thing no matter what.
You are making Israel and Israeli''s care less and less about the worlds opinion because the opinion doesn't seem to be affected one bit by what Israel does or doesn't do.
There is no other conclusion left, the hate towards Israel has nothing to do with Palestinian people.
It has to do with hating Jews.
Add to that the fact that in pro Palestinian protests around the world, Jews who are definitely not in Israel, get attacked (providing that it is not against Israel but against Jews) , thus making them move in to Israel because they were attacked and no longer feel safe anywhere but Israel, and making the situation in the middle East worse by not only making Israel have more people in it, but people that feel they must fight to survive because they have the experience of being attacked.
that is proof that it is not pro Palestinian but antisemitic.
anti-Semitism is not new, and it will never win, it is disgusting to use the Palestinian people as a mask, just be honest, and since you already used the Palestinian people, how about you actually try to help them a bit, because beyond the horrid war, they have some serious issues and can actually use help, especially when you keep sending more Jews who now feel they have to keep the Jewish land and feel more threatened and defensive because they know anywhere else in the world they can be attacked for being Jewish, and they must fight for their lives.

And where are they?
And how on earth did the grass even not get damaged?
And if they were sleeping on the grass, how come they left no trace, no blood (as we see in the Israeli kibbutzim) no litter, no tents, no items, what utter nonsense.
Again, we blindly are meant to believe the terrorists and ignore common sense while demanding Israel prove they are innocent and the terrorists are lying?
No.
This is silly, fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on me.
Show proof of those 500, show 500 died from that ridiculous bomb we now all know came for about a yard away from their own people.
And prove this hurt them.
No proof, no report.
Enough with this blind belief to know terrorists, it is just not clever.

Cool but if you BDS you can not use any products of Intel, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Arm, Apple, Samsung, Teva (you would be surprised how many medication is Teva) no use of WhatsApp, Facebook, IBM and so many more.
All these have major development centers in Israel, so go on, I dare you, be BDS, and be Amish
