Is this different than how Israel sees all Palestinians as Hamas? … Because Israel has made it clear that it won’t stop bombing Gaza until all of Hamas is dead and it looks like they won’t believe they’ve done that until there’s no beating hearts left on that side of the prison walls.
I mean, the only way to make sure nobody will try revenge is to exterminate everyone involved.
Realistically though, Netanjahu and his allies don’t want peace, just like the rulers of Hamas (which are not even in Gaza, btw). They both profit way too much from the conflict, especially if it’s just on slow boil.
Is this about people with dual citizenship or just tourists? There’s a difference.
I have read that many foreign workers were taken as well. Just people who came to Israel to make some money to send home to their family got caught up in this.

even the 54 folks for thailand?
Yeah, came here to ask that,too.
They are literally the poorest souls in that shitshow (and that does not mean any hostage deserved it, it’s just a race to the bottom)- some underpaid farm hands, just trying to help their families get by, citiziens of a country which has little chance to pressure Hamas much while their death would mean a massive blow to israels economy (because it would lead to most Thais leaving very likely) and a small victory for the Hamas as the Thais are not well viewed upon by Palestinians as the jobs they now have had been done by them. From their point of view, Israel would have been unable to make obtaining work permits for Palestinians so much harder without the Thais willing to do the jobs.

I mean, are you incapable of having any sympathy for individuals that walked into what seemed to be peaceful but turned into a warzone?
Sure, the Israel Palestine conflict has been going on since 1948 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli–Palestinian_conflict
But if your work told you to go on a quick in and out trip to Jamaica would you know there’s an older persistent conflict that could cause you harm? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_political_conflict
Shit Sudan and Myanmar both have higher body counts so far. You check with the state department and lists of all armed conflicts before all your trips?

Dude. I just pointed out that these guys are a lesser known part of the conflict that also deserves some attention. That doesn’t change anything about the situation of Palestinians at all.
But unlike ideological keyboard warriors like you I do actual aid work (and have done so in Palestina) - and, as basically anyone doing so, have experienced the multiple layers the conflict has.
What you are doing is not helping Palestina one single bit. It does nothing besides turning people away from the Palestinian cause and from Palestinian victims. So either you are a very good Israeli shill or a very bad one for the Palestinian cause.

Considering Gaza has an extremely high rate of physical disability due to Israeli bombing, it’s more likely than you think.
They have what, why? And how can those be mistaken for Asians?
They’re not being paid to think - they’re being paid to cause contention by any means necessary. Who’s paying them?
Of course it’s fucking old ass white guys
