    It seems you’re that uneducated someone; given that FIVE neighboring Arab countries invaded Israel the day after the British left and it declared independence because they were unhappy with the lines that were drawn up by the UN after WW2.

    Israel didn’t start shit.

      You sound very upset, aggressive and making it immensely personal. I did not expect anything else from Israel supporters.

      There’s a very reason they started to attack Israel the day Israel became an actual state but you purposefully left that out of the way.

      So I will quote my old, old comment to you and leave it at that. Because there’s no civil discussion with Israel supporters.

      Not only that, you suddenly started to bring the past into the discussion when you were first writing about 7th of October 2023 and beyond that. So you Purposefully trying to create confusion. After my quotation, I won’t comment to you anymore.

      Israel became an actual state in 1948 by displacing 750 000 Palestinian people and murdering many (men, women and children). Laying sieges, bombarding villages and population centers, setting fires to homes, properties and goods. Planting mines among the rubble to prevent any of the expelled people from returning (source: The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by ilan Pappé).

      Hamas did not exist until 1987, they became an actual group only in 1987 because of all the horrifying things Israel had done from 1948 up until 1987. Which is approximately 40 years after what Israel had done to the Palestinian people.

      Because israel never planned to respect the partition. The first prime prime minister before the 1948 war said

      “After the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine.”

        And yet, they aren’t the ones that started it.

        It’s amazing how many backflips people will do trying to defend the Muslim attacks on Jewish people in that area over the last five centuries, while simultaneously saying that Jewish attacks are bad.

        Jewish people in that region were legally second class citizens, with different legal rules, of the previous empires behind Muslims.

          So they should have waited for israel to attack first? This quote shows that they always planned to steal palestinian land in the future so it’s completely legitimate to stop it before it happen. It’s about jews and muslims it’s just about foreigners succeding in building a state in an already populate place

            Yes, North Korea threatens South Korea and Japan all the time, but an invasion wouldn’t be justified just because they threaten.

              The present shows that they was right, despite the absence of resistance in the west bank israel is still expanding the illegal settlments and stealing palestinian homes. Even if you believe arabs was wrong to start the war, it doesn’t give israel the right to destroy villages that surrendred like the village of tantura, force displacing people and occupy more land forever

                What does that have to do with Gaza?

                It wasn’t the people in the west bank that attacked Israel to start this latest fight, and as much as people seem to think gaza and the west bank are the same people, they really aren’t. They don’t have the same government, military, or live under the same conditions, they have different economies, and even different cultures at this point.

                And I disagree, if you get attacked, and successfully fight back, you should be able to take land as your own. This has historically happened after most wars, for example massive changes from pre-war borders occurred after WW1 and WW2 as land was given to the victors/victims. Similarly, I would have no problem with Ukraine pushing into Russia and capturing territory at this point. The consequences of invading shouldn’t be losing nothing but your pride.

                  So why israel is also attacking the west bank? Both gaza and westbank are part of palestine. Just because explusions happen don’t make it right. Whst about the opposite if ukraine lose will you also think it’s ok for it to become part of russia. Was the past expulsions of jews justifiable for being weak and whatever excuse was used to do so?

                    Palestine has never existed as a country or had agreed upon borders. The UN resolution setting it’s borders was never agreed upon by the Palestinian or Arab side. So why should they have borders, if they refused to agree to borders that were actually more generous that what they have now and instead just attacked Israel?

                    Ukraine is an established country with established and recognized borders. So no, Russia can’t keep parts of it.
