The German government said on Sunday it was reviewing its hundreds of millions of euros of aid for Palestinians following the biggest attack on Israel in years by Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.
Development Minister Svenja Schulze said the government had always been careful to check that the money was only used for peaceful ends.
“But these attacks on Israel mark a terrible fracture,” she said. “We will now review our entire engagement for the Palestinian territories.”
Google the proportion of dead Israelis and dead Palestinians over the years. But you won’t, you’ll just react emotionally to everything since that’s more convenient. Both sides fucking suck. Both sides have civillians that get hurt. You equate hamas to the two million people that just want to live their lives. Which is basically equal to “all brown people are terrorists”. And right now, those two million people will be denied electricity, food and water and will be genocided away.
That will show you one thing only: Israel has the stronger military.
It doesn’t say a thing about who attempted to kill more civilians, and who took steps to avoid civilian deaths. It doesn’t say anything about who has made concessions for peace, and who has walked away from peace deals for almost a century.
If you think those numbers shows that Israel is the bad guy, you would absolutely shit yourself if you saw a similar chart comparing the US and Nazi Germany.
You are right, it shows the fact that Israel killed more people.
Israel is the bad guy. And so are the Palestinians. There is no black and white situation here - with one being the good guys and one being the bad guys. Israel isn’t in the right here, they don’t have the moral high ground. And neither do the Palestinians.
