Have you ever lived under a terrorist regime? When did Palestinians last vote and what is/where the demographics of the population vs eligible voters? What kind of democracy do they have, one like North Korea or maybe they have a government like the US? What’s the name of the president of Palestine? How many generals do they have? Do children deserve to be murdered because of how their parents voted?
When you opt for war, you’re the one putting your and your children’s lives on the chopping block. You better be damn sure it’s a risk you’re willing to run.
Same goes for Israel then, no? Why are they crying about a terrorist attack then, thems the breaks of war, right? I mean you can’t occupy a country and expect no retaliation so why is anyone even talking about this? Just a couple of nations going at it.
In the broad, sure. But as everybody else seems to concern themselves with talking about Israel’s crimes, while painting the Palestinians as some helpless, repressed dove in a cage, I will leave them to the former and disprove the latter.
Funnily enough, this has happened in the West in the last century. It was called “Vichy France” and those who rolled, les collaborateurs. There’s a reason “quisling” is a word.
Thanks! Not that surprised though considering what happened after 9/11. None of it is acceptable. That many civilians dead gets rid of your “fighting to protect people” stance.
We never should’ve gotten into Afghanistan or Iraq.
Even the very existence of the United States was caused by an illegitimate insurgency. That we happened to win was because of attrition and logistics. I make no illusions about the dawn of my own country.

Because Israel is pretending they have some sort of moral high ground while using the exact same rhetoric as Hamas.

Did that what’s next?

My history is a bit fuzzy because I don’t remember allied forces turning all of France into rubble in response
Remember harder.

But reality is often disappointing.
