@tinyfaery That’s right, NOW Israel is united regarding going in to kill Hamas and hope to get back some of the hostages who were taken. Israelis take very seriously protecting Israel and the citizens. I saw more than one Israeli yesterday saying Israel is the only place they have. People who aren’t Jewish don’t seem to get it.
I have an Israeli friend who I dance with here and she hopes this Hamas attack will be the end of Netanyahu politically. Her loyalty to Israel and disgust for Netanyahu has not changed with this attack.
That one Palestinian guy has hundreds of thousands of followers.
Thousands of Israelis were protesting Netanyahu including many soldiers, but if a few months ago doesn’t count for you that’s fine. My point is Israelis will and do speak out.
Your circles and the periodicals you read are probably the same ones who were viscous about Hillary Clinton and it contributed to why we got Trump. Parts of the far left are anti-Israel pro Palestinian and don’t really consider the whole picture.
I don’t want the Palestinian people to suffer, I want them to be safe, prosper, live in a healthy environment, just like I want that for everyone, but to have that the Palestinian leaders need to compromise. They haven’t and won’t. I can put myself in the Palestinian place, and of course I empathize with their situation. I can also put myself in the Israeli place, can you? What do you think Israel should do? Years and years of countries not wanting Israel to exist at all.
Why did Israel build a wall? It’s not like the US southern border, you can’t compare it.
Imagine if the Proud Boys were ruling all of L.A. Do you want a police force to warn you to move south so you are not near the upcoming attack? Do you want them to do nothing? I’m sure you think Hamas is horrible too, you have to get rid of Hamas to have any chance of normalcy in Gaza. Israel can’t make a treaty if Hamas is there. Israel can’t loosen the wall or check points if Hamas is there.
It’s a Catch 22. Both sides are right to some extent. Or, both have legitimate points, but Hamas has to be dealt with.
