    Nope.

    The WestBank for example has been occupied for nearly 60 years, the longest current occupation in the world as far as I know.

    Less than a year ago the United Nations concluded that the WestBank is occupied by Israel and that it is in violation of international law.

    The WestBank is also under Israeli military rule.

    Because he is fat?

    I'm not that type of liberal. I fat shame especially in context to showing his privileged life discussing how Palestians deaths are an inevitability and just a fact of life.

    Do you seriously contest the overall conditions in the Gaza Strip?

    The last I checked the poverty rate was hovering around 50% and the unemployment rate is sky high.

    The airspace and sea are even controlled by Israel.

    Israel has the authority to evict people from Gaza and the West Bank?

    Yes - take your own advice.

    False - there are certainly Palestinians and some Israeli's that are perfectly fine with children dying if it furthers their position.

    Right - and let me know when we can discuss why one country is being "constantly terrorized". Nothing happens in a vacuum.

    How can we? Because they kill each other - that is what they do and have done for 60 years. Go look at how many Palestinians have been killed in the WestBank by Israeli's in just the last 4 days. See how many died last year. How many Palestinians have died thus far in Palestinians have died in the last 3-4 days? How many Jews have been killed in terrorism attacks?

    Yeah - Hamas is terrible, but don't glide over the fact that many of the Palestinians are innocent, and I do not exactly trust either side to be careful of collateral damage based on history.

    Right - it is similar to dropping a bunch of Jews in the desert and them arming and giving them money all because long ago a religious book told them that they were special.

    The answer is yes........ Palestinians are "evicted" all the time.

    It was only about a year ago that over 1000 Palestinian families were forced off their land in the WestBank because the Israeli military decided to take the land for multi purpose training in the Hebron Hills area. Who decided that it was "okay" to take this land? The Israeli courts....

    The WestBank is occupied by the Israeli military..... Israel does whatever it wants in the WestBank at the end of the day.

    Look - at the end of the day, there is blood on both sides, but the "oppressed" group is and has been the Palestinians and that is still the case. Israel has control of Palestine territory. They are an occupying force, they also control most of the infrastructure and Israel decides what is and isn't proper in the occupied area.

    C'mon. I can't believe your history spans less than 15 days.

    Not surprising at all.

    How much of it is just being careless and indifferent to civilians and how much of it is an honest mistake - which happens in war.... I don't know, but what I do know is that Palestinians and Israeli's in generally do not see each other as humans.... so we know where this can be headed.

    Yes - the majority of the WestBank is under Israeli rule.

    Also - the encroachment of Israeli settlers continues to be common, with Israeli laws prohibiting the construction of any structure and in some cases even the presence of Palestinians - even though they were born there.

    Under the Oslo Accords - Israel has full control over the mineral sources, the ability to confiscate land, to evict and to stop any housing or business development.

    If confirmed, big mistake by Israel.

    https://apnews.com/article/israel-p...-biden-rafah-e062825a375d9eb62e95509cab95b80c

    KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Gaza Health Ministry said an Israeli airstrike Tuesday hit a Gaza City hospital packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter, killing hundreds. If confirmed, the attack would be by far the deadliest Israeli airstrike in five wars fought since 2008.

    Photos from al-Ahli Hospital showed fire engulfing the hospital halls, shattered glass and body parts scattered across the area. The ministry said at least 500 people had been killed.

    Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said there were still no details on the hospital deaths: “We will get the details and update the public. I don’t know to say whether it was an Israeli air strike.”
