Hmmm, I wonder how would you react if Russia elects the president in your country and tells you that it is for your own good. Would you be so happy?

So what is more important the life of one Israeli civilian or the life of one Palestinian civilian in your eyes?

Believe me if you were now trapped in Gaza, you would have completely different perspective on the matters.

The environmental impact on golf courses is huge. This is such a waste, especially now when we are “trying” to fight global warming.

That’s the whole idea of inflation. To slowly eat your savings to make you realize that putting money in a bank account or under the blanket is a stupid idea.

Don’t forget that there are many more unaccounted for under the rubble.

Why don’t you build your own?

I’m the meantime, if you fire a rocket at another country, it’s going to get blown up no matter where it is.

You know this goes two ways, right? Right?!?

You know both Hezbollah & Hamas exist today because of Israel. If Israel had found a solution to peacefully co-exist with their neighbors, we wouldn’t be here today commenting on this article. Israel has historically used disproportionate measures toward, anyone who opposes it. Just look at the graph of rockets fired by Hezbollah or Hamas vs those fired by Israel, and mind you none of them have an iron dome to protect their civilians and still Israel is playing the victimhood card.

The only way to bring long-lasting peace would be for Israel to grant Palestinians civil rights, and start treating them fairly, and not build plenty of checkpoints, and walls, and evict them, practically making their lives miserable. It is kind of sad, that all this is coming from a nation that was oppressed so much during the years, but yes, they seem to have learned nothing from their own history.

But she also didn’t attend Netanyahu’s speech and actually has been quite critical of the war in Gaza. But yes, don’t expect miracles. I still think she will be more critical of the Israelian government and whether this leads to a ceasefire or not is to be seen.

But in any case she will be harder on them than Trump, who moved the US embassy to Jerusalem during his presidency and offered the “peace deal of the century”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_peace_plan#:~:text=The stated purpose of the,both parties to the conflict.

Unfortunately this latest conflict simply shows that money is the biggest factor in an armed conflict. That rich nations can afford the most technologically advanced weapons and overpower almost any other nations and even influence the narrative.

We as humanity are heading towards a very dark and dystopian future, where the divide between rich and poor would be even starker and that’s really worrying. I hope I am wrong though, I hope we find a way to live together without killing and hating each other but I kind of doubt it.

In a way WWI fueled the dissatisfaction of regular Germans and led to the rise of the Nazi party. Without the treaty of Versailles, most likely WWII would have never happened. So yes, you always need to consider the context.

And yes, the normal reaction of human beings of their struggles caused by others is to create resistance movements, so in a way, if you remove those struggles, the terrorism and resistance movements will die down. Because there is not a single prosperous country with an active and strong terrorist organisation. And yes, people inherently are the same, everywhere in the world.

And our goal as humanity is to preserve the humane part.

Did you not know that Israel kills civilians, and guess what, Israel is responsible for the killing of a lot more civilians than Hezbollah and Hamas together. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_in_the_Israeli–Palestinian_conflict#:~:text=According to B’tselem’s,been killed by Palestinian forces.

So it is very disputable if Israel has the moral high ground on this.

Unfortunately those Israelis are just a tiny fraction. The majority fully support the war efforts. This is what’s happening after a concerted effort to dehumanize Palestinians.

According to Israel every adult male is a terrorist. Remember they are even using AI to target them. And if I remember correctly around 20K are the kids and women killed. So I hardly doubt that the number of Hamas fighters is so high.

You know we will never know what their ratio is, because Israel can claim whatever they want without providing proof that those killed were indeed terrorists. You remember them killing their own hostages or the FCK? This simply shows how indiscriminate they are in the killings and how little they care about civilian casualties.

And remind me if any of their soldiers actually get an effective sentence for committing a grave offence.

Did you even read the article, or simply trolling?

Who started this war is very debatable. Because historically speaking this is just the latest stage of violence in the region.

Looks very sleek

Oh please check your sources,

Long-serving Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in 2015 rejected a Palestinian state.[11] He again rejected a Palestinian state in June 2023.[12][13]

And while at it ELI5 how is the approval of more and more Jewish settlements in the West Bank and building more and more walls and checkpoints is advancing this two state solution?

Is Israel recognising Palestine as a country?

Are the UN and the ICJ saying so in this case?
