    That’s so fucking stupid. Israel is mostly beachfront. This is 14 miles of beach. If you honestly believe this, I really shouldn’t waste time replying.

    But … look. Israel unilaterally left Gaza - uprooted Israeli settlements - took out all the army. Left. No army. No Israelis. No agreement either. Palestinian Authority was ruling Gaza at the time, so there was hope they’d self govern and build a better life for themselves - free of Israelis and IDF. You know what they did? They had the one and only election in the last 18 years and put Hamas in power. Hamas started shooting rockets at the Israeli towns surrounding Gaza in Israel. This has been escalating until the massacre 2 weeks ago.

    Israel doesn’t want or need the land. Israel wants and needs peace. Go spend some time educating yourself.

      You asked why and I gave you the answer in the simplest terms possible. You educate yourself. European colonizers have spent the last 500 years destroying people around the world. We have an idea of what this shit looks like by now.

        Except Israelis are not European colonizers. They’ve been there as long as the Arabs and many Muslim recognize that.

      That’s so fucking stupid.

      The more I’m on the internet, the more I notice comments that start off like this are usually wrong and the poster is insecure.

      Your arguments should be able to stand on their own merits. Insulting as though you’re already correct just makes you look weak and unsure of yourself.

      As you get older, this becomes clearer.

        Sounds more like you’re looking for any excuse to avoid having to engage and challenge his actual arguments.
