… The Lebanese group said in a statement on Sunday that it fired more than 320 Katyusha rockets at 11 Israeli military bases and barracks, including the Meron base and four sites in the occupied Golan Heights.
it said it targeted military bases to “facilitate the passage of drones” towards their desired targets deep inside Israel. “And the drones have passed as planned". …

    Man, you should really look up how native attacks on settlers went if you think they were somehow tame in comparison. Interesting that, you never spent time to focus on the crimes and atrocities committed by the natives to the extent that you don’t even know how brutal it was. Interesting that. Thanks for proving my point on that front.

    “At some point they have to accept that” Why? That’s some might makes right moral philosophy right there. Just completely dropped a facade of morality and just went with “Israel has a monopoly on violence, thus palastinians deserve to lose”

    Equal rights my ass, https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2022/02/israels-system-of-apartheid/

    Funnily enough, this is also similar to the American and native American relationship. Legally natives became “citizens” in 1928 and thus had access to “equal rights” but didn’t actually fully get the right to vote till 1948, and that was only when they legally got it.

    All this to say, you know what’s better than giving natives rights to vote in the nation we stole from them? Giving it back. Oh it’d be hard and economically devastating? Should of thought about that before stealing the fucking land. Hell to pay and we still make the natives pay for it.

    Antisemitic blood libel lol. Now your just spitting insults. Israel don’t like being compared to Hitler and his crimes? Maybe don’t repeat them. Never Again meant Never again. Ever. To anyone. Notice how I’m not saying “the Jews” in relation to the state of Israel? Because Israel isn’t a monolith of jewdom. It ain’t the culture, it ain’t the religion, it ain’t the race. It doesn’t own that identity no matter how much they want to cover themselves in it. It’s a state, one which has made these same crimes regardless who’s in charge.

    Oh you view the settlements in the West Bank as bad? Remember it’s been happening like that for 80 mother fucking years. State sponsored and all. Pushing palastinians further and further. To the frontiers. Killing those who resist and you wonder why palastinians would fight back as brutally as they have. Because when an Israeli settler stops your palastinian car for driving on his isreal road (which he could tell cause the state mandates distinct license plates for palastinians) do you really think the Israeli state in any form will take the side of the palastinians?

      might makes right

      That’s how states and power work, yes. Most places people live and states exist now were inhabitated by others before.

      Saying “Isntreal”, “Zionist entity”, or whatever is denial and lying to yourself.

      What do you think about the 800,000 Jews that had to flee from Arab and Muslim countries after Israel was established? Do they deserve to return and get their lost property back?

      What other historical injustices do you want to roll back? Millions of Germans lost their homes and land at the end of WW2. Should India and Pakistan be united again and millions moved?

      Sure you can play into the Palestinian dream of a Jew free Palestine and violence as the way to achieve it. That way has only lead to Palestinians losing war after war over and over.

          Obviously the Jews in Baghdad deserved to be ethnically cleansed because some Jews elsewhere were refusing to be pushed into the Mediterranean. It’s just very convenient that it’s always the Jews’ fault.

          India and Pakistan is just another example of a population exchange with a large number of refugees happening around the same time as Israel’s independence. As you well observed, it’s not a good idea to try and reverse history in that case. However for Israel and Palestinians going back to a historically unstable state is somehow desirable according to you.

          Both Palestinians and the Jewish people have a right to self determination. They claim some of the same land, so a compromise has to be found. Delegitimization of Israel only acknowledges one side and fuels this long lasting conflict.
