    It's two extremist sides going to war. We don't have to choose one over the other. We can oppose the killing of both Israeli & Palestinian children.

    There has never been an independent nation called Palestine. That was just the Roman name for Israel. 120 years ago the West Bank and the Gaza strip were part of the Ottoman empire, then they was captured by the Israelis. After that they was part of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Then they were captured by the Israelis again.

    It's 100 % misinformation. I know over a hundred Israelis, from progressive to very close to Bibi, and not a single one of them has ever expressed views such as what you are falsely stating.

    I thought Biden's statement on this was very good. Kudos to him.

    Israel if media savvy enough just has to keep reporting all of hamas cruelty to keep the folks triggered and distracted as they kill folks in Palestine indiscriminately to "subjugate Hamas".

    When all is said and done as usual the amount of Innocent folks dying will always b palestine > Israel

    Hamas has done terrible things, there is no defense but look what happens when Israel retaliated and does it indiscriminately


    https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/israel-hamas-palestinian-war-attacks-gaza-strip/

    At least 950 people, including at least 140 children, have been killed in the Gaza Strip by Israel's retaliatory airstrikes, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The ministry said in a social media post that at least 5,000 more people in the blockaded Palestinian territory were wounded, most of them women and children.

    Like i said folks like to only paint the violence and cruelty of Hamas who doesn't represent everyone in Palestine and conveniently omitted the atrocity Israel is actively inflicting on the innocent people of Palestine in the name of "self-defense".

    U worried about the dangerous world for your kid, have some empathy for the kids in palestine who are dying under a hail of missle/fire launch by Israel simply because they have nowhere to go and live in Gaza

    Most Jewish people I know do not hold those beliefs, just Israeli. I know 4:1 more Jewish people than Israelis. But both of those groups have expressed to me that Zionism is their right when it comes up given this is going to be how many Gaza wars since 2000.

    Many of the Muslim people I have known (typically South Asian or Arabs, and fewer than the number of Jewish people I’ve known) are vehemently pro-Palestinian. I had one senior colleague try to sell me the Khazar hypothesis. I told him that it is just used as an anti Israeli trope and the supposed European ancestry of the Israelis does not mean anything given that the state of Israel has existed for 80 years and its people are able to and are willing to defend that existence.

    Look in the mirror @AroundTheWorld. it would appear that even you view Palestinians (and Muslims as a group) as barbarous and subhumans.

    I never asked “r u a Jew” when you’ve shown unwavering affinity for Zionism.

    When the British took the region they called it Palestine. The UN carved Palestine, not Israel, into two regions, one of which Zionists called Israel.

    Seems the surprise attack by Hamas is being used as the pretext for Israel to deliver not just a huge blow to Hamas, but to levy utter destruction upon the Gaza strip. Seeing those images of whole areas leveled, one can not imagine that there isn't a mass loss of civilians.

    But folks are too distracted by Hamas acts of cruelty to note that Israel just went and killed innocent kids, women, elderly, men while "combating Hamas."

    Hell some folks look at pics of gaza being leveled and think that Israel did the right thing
