I know. I oppose all genocide. I believe it should be the default setting for all humans. Just pointing out the thing about how much more proportional attention we give to one issue vs. another.

That’s not what I said. No need to put words in my mouth. Just wondering where all the catchy slogans for Armenians, Rohingya, Uighurs etc. are. There’s more of them than Palestinians.

Alright. What do you like about Palestine? Any part of their culture? Anything specific about their contributions to the world? I’m just curious why they get so much more media compared to all other forms of human suffering on the planet. Don’t misunderstand, I am not saying anybody deserves any suffering, war is hell for both sides. But what is it about them that mobilized the entire world to be against Israel and march every day everywhere screaming free Palestine? Other Muslims are dying in many countries, being ruthlessly murdered by… mostly other Muslims or the US or Russia or hey if you wanna believe it, maybe even by Israel. What’s with this tiny group of Muslims in the tiniest of countries called Israel that makes them so famous and more worthy than others of worldwide support? I’ve yet to find an answer to this that doesn’t somehow relate to some form of antisemitism.

People worldwide don’t give a shit about Palestine, they just love to be able to blast Israel in random comments, yelling hate into the void from the comfort of their homes.

Well, as long as you are 100% certain you are on the right side of history, you do you man. Just try not to hurt anybody.

Every time I have a conversation with a pro-Palestinian or especially pro-Hamas person, they always end up losing their cool and attacking me. Just like in most pro-Palestine protests, people get violent and attack random Jews on the street or a Starbucks for some reason (there isn’t even Starbucks in Israel). The pro-Israel marches I’ve seen are just people singing the anthem or something. It’s pretty reflective of the entire situation, Israelis aren’t very interested in war, there’s nothing in the Gaza Strip that we need, no resources, no landmarks of interest, just more desert like the rest of our country. But Arabs and Muslims from all around our tiny strip of land simply hate us on a religious basis and want to see us gone. And we’ve no place to go. We won’t just lie down and die. Sorry.

There’s no blockade, any Gazan can leave whenever. Most of them come in to Israel for work. Or at least used to. Not sure how things will be after this shit show. The intent to destroy a nation and steal a land is Hamas’s goal, readily visible even on Wikipedia.

Genocide looks like a rapidly decreasing population, not a growing one. Supplies are still going into Gaza, yes fewer because Hamas is hoarding all of it and withholding it from its civilians. There are even videos of them opening fire on Palestinians that try to get to any of the supply trucks. There are also videos of Palestinians openly accusing Hamas of withholding all aid. I just wish Egypt would open up its border with Gaza to allow Palestinians refuge there but they never will again because of the Islam extremism they had to deal with when they did that. I haven’t heard that one yet - Israeli developers planning beach front property on Gaza. Nationalism? Israel is comprised of foreigners from all over the world, it’s like a mini US. Not all Israelis are white, not all Israelis are Jews, not all civilians are Israeli. We even took in 15,000 Ukrainian refugees. The “oh dear” was for attacking me directly with the “fuck off” and “genocide apologist”.

1. Yes. 2. Some yes.

Yep. Ok. America is the best at war. Good luck to you.

Wow. I’m out

Oh dear

I’ll be cheeky and change the meaning of your comment: Yeah, those Hamas Nazis should fuck off of Israel and the world should stop helping them.

Apartheid? How? There are no laws prohibiting any race to do… anything in Israel.

You are fully allowed to talk about it and criticize us, I was just suggesting not trusting stats from a terror organization. Not all Palestinians are Hamas. Hamas does deserve to die.

No. And look, to be honest I never understood why some people claim that Israel is purposefully targeting civilians. They are not, and the mortality rate of terrorist/civilians is some of the best if not the best in any modern urban war anywhere. Hamas just reports every death as civilian, and men of ages up to 21 as children. Not saying there have been no actual civilians, children and women killed in Gaza, but there is a clear intent to minimize innocent casualties, at least where I’m observing things from.

Also, a few days ago the IDF rescued 2 hostages for the first time, I hope that made international news.

You do get some jail time if you simply refuse to serve though. Unless you have strong psychological or physical reasons that prevent you from serving. Men and women both need to serve, the Israeli (and worldwide Jewish) population is very small relatively.

This article yes, but I live here and can tell you that the drone infiltrations and anti-tank missile launches by Hezbollah are happening throughout the day, every single day in the north of Israel. That’s why almost all civilians in the north have relocated to the center, driving up rent prices to unbearable levels for everybody. There are though, thankfully, thousands of households that opened up their homes to shelter and support their fellow citizens from the north and around the Gaza border.

Rocket sirens have calmed down a lot near the Gaza border (probably thanks to the IDF neutralizing more than half of Hamas forces by now), they happen only once every few days and they no longer reach the center of Israel these days. At least for now.

Your words not mine.

Their attacks also killed and injured several Israeli civilians, Hezbollah is not a lovely freedom fighting group that is careful to only target military bases.
