It seems that the only solution to the problem is to kill innocent men, women, and children!
Gotta violently kill a family of twenty so we can take out one or two hidden Hamas fighters!
I want to make this very clear, the hatred that Israel is exhibiting to the Palestinians, is exactly the same as the hatred that Hitler exhibited towards their people during WWII. Difference is, everybody is cheering on the Nazis this time.
So you’re assuming that asking for a qualified answer about what should be done to “help the Palestinians” is the equivalent of “cheering on the Nazis?”
See, that’s the problem, though: you’re already presuming that people who don’t simply go along cheering facile, generic solutions like “why don’t the Israelis just help the Palestinians” - as if things were that easy and as if that thought just had never occurred to a single person in the past 70 years of murderous conflict - must be insincere.
So for the record: no, I’m being sincere. Bombing innocent civilians in Gaza is very obviously objectionable, and indiscriminate bombing is a war crime.
At the same time, I can acknowledge that Hamas is a terrorist organization which just committed the largest terrorist attack in the history of Israel, committing unspeakable atrocities and murdering hundreds and hundreds of civilians in Israel.
So with that premise established: what would be some realistic ways for Israel to help Palestinians in a way that would make Hamas go away and end that particular threat for Israel. Because that’s the proposition: that the terrorist threat from Hamas could be ended if Israel only helped the Palestinians instead of bombing them, correct?
Go on reddit or facebook and you’ll see exactly what I am talking about.
Explain to me exactly how bombing and killing innocent civilians is going to stop a terrorist group? You kill a shit ton of innocent people to take out a few of the bad guys. You’re not understanding that the point isn’t about helping the Palestinians, it’s about not fucking recklessly killing them to stop terrorists.
It honestly sounds to me like IDS are terrorists themselves, is that not what terrorists do? To be a terrorist is to strike terror into a civilian populous, and that is exactly what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. Blowing up fucking schools, hospitals, and homes is not how you stop a terrorist group, it’s how you become one.
I find it absolutely absurd that western countries could do this today and would be heavily criticized, but Israel gets a pass because “it’s god’s land”. Christianity (the religion that many americans falsely claim to follow) does not give two shits about Israel or Jerusalem, that is the JEWS land, not Christian’s land.
This is what happens when you let religion off of a leash, needless bloodshed and suffering. Christians did the same to Jews and Muslims during the crusades, this is a situation that is no different today, that’s exactly what a Jihad is, a " holy war".
You are asking a question that is totally unrelated to the topic. It almost feels like you don’t actually understand how conversations work, I’m being genuine here.
The situation at hand right here, right now, is not about helping the Palestinians, it is about not killing them. Once that hurdle is crossed, then we can figure out how to help them. I wrote it in the second paragraph, basic English comprehension here.
I fail to see the point in trying to help them if you are actively blowing them up to stop a terrorist organization, you should do that before you do anything else, it’s literally a prerequisite.
You are asking a question that is totally unrelated to the topic.
Because you wrote a post that was totally unrelated to my question, and totally unrelated to the entire conversation before it.
The entire premise of the conversation was that Hamas might not even exist today if Israel had only chosen to help the Palestinians.
If your entire reply to that topic can be summed up as “well, too late for that,” then I agree with you.

How do you feel that Israel should have reacted to the 10/7 attacks?
I’m going to ignore the first part because once again, your question is entirely unrelated to the topic.
How do you feel that Israel should have reacted to the 10/7 attacks?
Uh, by not blowing up civilians homes? Doing a better job at controlling their borders? Partner with the dozens of countries you are allied with? Yes, you are not going to stop every attack, but why retaliate to a terrorist attack by attacking a country’s civilians who do not even have anything to do with the terrorists?
Put yourself in the Palestinian’s shoes, say your country has a terrorist group that attacks another country, that country retaliates, they proceed to blow up your fucking house with your whole family in it, because there were terrorists who forced your family to allow them to quarter at the threat of death, how would you feel about that?
If you tell me that you somehow cannot sympathize with that, there is something fundamentally wrong with you as a person.

You asked a rhetorical question. I also did not say you cheered on the Nazi’s or anything of the sort.

You wrote a lot of things, but I still don’t see an answer to the question there.
Is that because you don’t have an answer?
