Yes, with some of them coming back and stealing houses and murdering families, too.
Look, never have I ever argued they are right; what happens in Palestine is a bunch of war crimes and I really hope Netanyahu and company will suffer grave consequences.
People are super quick to trigger on the subject.
But human psychology is flawed, especially after traumatizing events; I’m only saying that it’s natural for Israelis to behave this way, even if not right, and when people are fanatically holding some position (because they see the alternative as eventual death, y’know), hatred might not be the solution.
Right now, as people die, we should focus on what’s effective, not a knee-jerk. That’s why police holds negotiations with terrorists, for example. Because it’s more effective at preserving human lives, not because they sympathize.
I want this war to end as soon as possible. Do you?
I want the occupation to end, not just this ‘war’. There’s not going to be peace until the last Palestinian is killed, or if Israel decides to unwind the settlement policy from the last decades. As we’ve seen with the IRA and ANC, the way to stop terrorism is by offering a political solution that works for all involved.

I mean, first we stop bloodshed, second we start negotiations and high-level diplomacy.
War is currently the highest priority, and then come all the issues around apartheid and Israel’s actions in peace time
