Over 100 Israelis have died and more than 900 were injured after rockets were fired from Gaza by Hamas militants, Israeli officials said Saturday.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said 198 were killed in Gaza and at least 1,610 were injured Saturday in retaliatory attacks from Israel.

“We are at war. We will win,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

The Israeli Defense Forces earlier declared “a state of alert for war,” according to a statement issued by the IDF.

“Over the past hour, the Hamas terrorist organization launched massive barrages of rockets from Gaza into Israel, and its terrorist operatives have infiltrated into Israel in a number of different locations in the south,” the IDF said early Saturday.

    So they should give up their homes, land, resources, and culture for the last gasp of colonialism?

        Jews can own land all over the world. So can Muslims. This is a false dichotomy.

            There’s a hundred countries they can both live in without problems. There is no amount of past trauma that justifies ethnic cleansing for literal settlers to move in.

              As a Jew, no, there is no country in the world I can live in without problems, including Israel. America has been wonderful to us, but I grew up seeing swastikas spray painted on my synagogue and being taunted by the goyim. A far cry from the persecution my ancestors have endured, but I don’t delude myself into thinking I’m safe here if the economic/political situation deteriorates.

                That level of unsafe is true of anywhere for all religions. If that’s the standard than none of this matters anyways.

        As somebody else pointed out, reducing the people in Palestine to Muslims and they treating all people who happen to be muslims as if they’re as the same, is pure unadulterated racism of the worst, most disgusting, kind.
