The world didn't recognise illegal settlements and they were gathering behind Palestinian people, but Hamas and its stupid Jihad stopped them.
Even voices were getting strong against Isreal in the US itself.
And 75 years is long, but South Africa needed even more time. And it took the British Empire even longer to give freedom to its colonies.
Those who cite Hamas' October 7th attack as a justification for ignoring the war crimes of the IDF are in fact indirectly justifying this attack by Hamas. This is because the underlying argument is that civilian casualties are acceptable in self-defense against an act of terrorism.
So these people are saying that the attack by Hamas on October 7 should be considered within the scope of self-defense. The IDF has killed 1000 people in the last year alone, before October 7th. Hundreds of them children. If you keep a tally for the last 30 years, the number exceeds 10,000.
Do you realize what the world, the UN, all the collective instruments of global politics have been able to get Israel to accept so far, and on the other hand, what status has the world accepted?
Israel does not recognize the 2-state solution, Israel does not recognize the Palestinian state, the only thing it has accepted is the existence of the PLO as the local administration of Palestine, and it has accepted this because it serves its political interests and to create a lever for itself.
None of the UN resolutions have been reciprocated. It is the UNSC structure that gives Israel this power. A country is being blatantly destroyed, its people are facing genocide, and those who wanted to flee left their homes and heirloom lands, leaving everything behind. It is an eclipse of reason that people imprisoned in this concentration camp should die and perish because they chose Hamas, as acceptable civilian casualties within Israel's right of self-defense.
The current situation of humanity is worse than the holocaust about 80 years ago, and unless you understand that, I apologize, what you are doing is directly or indirectly advocating Zionism. The principles and aims of Zionism are that a genocide is appropriate for the holy, so-called divine goals of the Israeli people, and here you are asking the Palestinian people to do nothing to achieve these holy goals and to put the rope around their own necks on the gallows.
Wasn't Israel killing Palestinian civilians before Hamas existed? What drives me crazy is that so many of our friends like you pretend to be ignorant as if all these events started on October 7th. Even one of the founding events of the state of Israel was a series of bloody terrorist acts like the King David hotel bombing. Those terrorists later became army commanders and even Presidents of the State of Israel.
Will the massacres stop when Hamas is finished or will Israel recognize Palestine?
With 70 years of experience, the answer is a resounding NO. They will not stop until Palestine is completely destroyed. And what's more, the so-called Promised Land of God is not just Palestine. Now you can soothe your conscience by demonizing Jihad, afraid to get out of your comfort zone in our world of thought. Or you can get out of that comfort zone and go after what is really happening.
You can start by understanding that the state of Israel is a religious state, which is clearly stated in its constitution, that its founding was rooted in the merger of 3 fundamentalist terrorist organizations, and if by jihad you mean religiously motivated armed struggle, then you can start by understanding that some Jews all over the world are uniting to wage an ultra mega zealot war.
