Absolutely! I meant during this outbreak but I don't think it matters. It's always the same.
This is true but obviously it's related.
No it is not peace. Plus with the iron dome the rockets are pointless and stupid. But Israel has been blockading Gaza for 16 years, it's an open air prison. A cease fire would be to help the civilians trapped. You ask what sane Israeli would live in one of the slaughtered Kibutz: imagine if you couldn't leave because a superior power is keeping you by force. It fucking sucks. But nobody will help you because we aren't sure if your neighbour is a secret terrorist, so we may have to bomb your house. Sorry.
The only way to actually achieve peace is for Israel to recognize the human rights of Palestinians and allow a Palestinian state to exist. If you oppress people you can't be surprised if they rise up, and acting like the victim is misleading at best.
I will just quote the UN
Israel has undoubtedly done the first three. Only one is required. You might argue intent but this doesn't fly in my opinion. They have told people to leave to the south to be safe, then bombed the roads south and bombed the actual south. Cut off water. Bombed densely populated civilian areas. The hospitals cannot function now. I refuse to believe this is not intentional killing, and this is not a regular case of war where "sadly lots of civilians are killed." The only monsters worse than Hamas are Israel and the IDF. We will look back on what's happening here with horror.
Reading your replies to this guy, and man, I thought neo-Nazi's online would be the last time I saw genocide denials. Instead it's pro-Israel accounts. The world really did flip in 2016 didn't it?
It's absolutely wild. I really hope people start to see what is happening here.
Harambe was the beginning of the end, it's true.
