“Feels”?

u/Zestyclose_Lobster91 10d ago

As in 96% of children are afraid of dying at any given time... It is horrible how many children have already died but knowing that they are all living with the certainty of death is even worse.

It is a shame for humanity, international organizations and the Security Council.

They do not want to kill Jews. They want to kill their oppressors and free their people. Palestine has been shrink due to Israel stealing their land. When will that shrinking stop? When will the Palestinian children get their home back? At what point is it okay for them to fight back?

There are few people the palestinians respect more than people of Jewish faith who are standing up for them. Just look at the way the Naturei Karta guys are treated at protests. But of course you wouldn't want to advertise that if you are planning on justifying your crimes against humanity.

u/LowCall6566 10d ago

Did you just call people at Western protests "palestinians"?

2

u/Zestyclose_Lobster91 9d ago

There are plenty of palestinians in the West. And People forget that in this current war the IDF has killed Christians as well as citizens of the United States, Canada and EU unlucky enough to have been caught in Gaza or the Westbank. But i guess you'd rather believe what you want to believe...

Also here are some Palestinians in New York protecting a guy from Naturei Karta from his "people" : https://youtu.be/GDnitoPqPbE?si=bAV7ZK9dATZgkko1

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are especially problematic.

The problem is that the children are paying for a war that is not their fault, the children can’t and won’t fight back and honestly the only hope for them is for hamas and hezbollah to surrender

1

u/PNghost1362 11d ago

But what comes after the surrender?

0

u/idkwhotfmeiz 11d ago

Hopefully a ceasefire or a “peaceful” annexation (we know it’s not gonna be peaceful but at least not a full scale military invasion)

The problem is that Palestine has absolutely 0 chances of winning the war. Actually the reason it’s not a nuclear wasteland by now is that Israel hasn’t pulled the trigger on them they could easily flatten the area within days if they really wanted to. But the longer the war goes on, the more innocents will die

2

u/PNghost1362 11d ago

So your idea is that Israel just takes control of Palestine? Do you not understand the right to self-determination?

0

u/idkwhotfmeiz 11d ago

They have a right, I’m not arguing that and ideally that would be the outcome. But it’s not gonna happen, literally impossible so the beat bet for innocent civilians is that Palestine surrenders because if that doesn’t happen then everyone in Palestine will actually die

1

u/yuxulu 10d ago

Jews surrendered in ww2. Saw what that accomplished?

Israel will not stop. They will continue to murder and rob and take like what they did for the last few decades.

1

u/idkwhotfmeiz 10d ago

Well then there’s no hope for them bcs they for sure ain’t winning the war

2

u/yuxulu 10d ago

They aren't. What i suspect it would be decades more of terrorism and israel going pikachu face on why less people support them at every turn.

Eventually, more israeli will return to their other citizenships and the rest will choose to coexist with palestinians. The israel project has yielded nothing but an ethno state.

Like those concert/rave kids most who were foreigners on Oct7?

And why rape people? It goes both ways there are evil people on both sides

2

u/PNghost1362 10d ago

It's unfortunate, and I don't condone what happened on October 7th. However, this started way before October 7th and many many more innocent Palestinians have been killed. It's unjustifiable.

The rape allegations are questionable and have not yet been found to be truthful. However there is evidence of the rape of many Palestinians who are being held by the IDF.

Stop acting like both sides are equal in their atrocities.

Dude, they say they've received "convincing information" and Israel says that it's definitive. Meanwhile, the same report outright states that Israel HAS been raping Palestinian prisoners, and Israel denies it?

I literally said I don't condone what Hamas did on October 7th, stop trying to get a reaction.

You're* Oh stop being so intentionally obtuse.

Starvation can occur even when eating. So long as calories consumed is less than 600 they are considered starving and will suffer from symptoms and have increased chance of dying through other means. Please approach the situation with some nuance.

It's unfortunately true. I'm sorry you've become desensitised to the tragedy.

And yet you've also no doubt seen the videos of rotting trucks of aid? The bags of sugar replaced with sand? Starvation doesn't mean they're on the floor dying. But that doesn't mean it's no less serious.

And again, Palestinians do not want that, it is Israeli propaganda to make you okay with the atrocities being committed.

And yet I've seen none of that? You'd think mainstream media would pick up stories of something so terrible? How about those hostages that were rescued from Gaza and spoke out against the Israeli government?

You're so blinded by manufactured hatred that you can't see the truth of what is happening?

Why are you so hell-bent on discrediting anything the Palestinian people are going through?

u/PsyVitus 11d ago

"I didn't personally see it so it doesn't exist" Great argument bro, you've convinced me.

1

u/PNghost1362 11d ago

I'm obviously referring to how media like the BBC has a bias towards Israel and yet hasn't shown any of this damning evidence you're speaking of. Stop being purposfully obtuse and answer my question.

Interesting, I hadn’t seen this.

Although I would always question the validity of news organisations such as the Times of Israel and Al Jeezera when reporting on a war. Is there a non-biased source backing this claim?

1

u/GADandOCDaaaaaaa 10d ago

Probaly not

u/IanityourbabyDaDDy 10d ago

Maybe the expansion of illegal and violent settlements have something to do with the 85 percent west bank figure
