No, they were not. The 6% of the indigenous Jewish population were. The 94% of indigenous Palestinians were not. The settler colonials changed everything. This is the problem.

Educate yourself. Israel didn't exist until 75 years ago, does this mean it is a made up thing that should be cast away? I think you would disagree. Palestinian is an identity that has been used for over 200 years: https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine/Palestine-and-the-Palestinians-1948-67

Educate yourself. Palestinians fought with the British against the Nazis https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine/The-Arab-Revolt

Are you denying history? Do you claim, like the Israelis, that the Palestinians never existed? https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine/Palestine-and-the-Palestinians-1948-67

It has the most support, but it is clearly less than half. This is a people who have been trodden on for decades and had their homes taken away from them. If I took your home away from you, wouldn't you want it back?

Almost a million. 750,000 + people. Yes, they have no country to call home because they have are stateless. This is international law, they are refugees and will be until they have citizenship of a country. And why were they refugees? Because Israel did it to the Palestinians. They would be living happily in their own countries if the Zionist political movement had not done wrong first. Yes, it is ethnic cleansing. Yes, it is wrong. Israel did precisely this when it was formed. How can you say it's OK for Israel to do, but it is not ok for Palestinians - the rightful owners of the land.

And the very start of this conflict was... the illegal forcible removal of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands. Suicide bombings rampant - where were these suicide bombings... in the OCCUPIED TERRITORIES! Wars started by Arabs? Four of the six wars that have been fought in this land were started by Israel, including the 1967 war that led to the occupation of Palestinian territory. Israel justifies holding on to land.... stop right there. This is illegal according to international law. You can debate with facts, not feelings. This is the very definition of stealing. I kick you out of your home and raze it to the ground. I then build my own home. Stealing. Not normal throughout wars when you lose. Taking land by force has been illegal since before Israel was formed. Again, you should argue with facts - not feelings. If the Arabs had won, they would have reclaimed the land that was stolen from them by European settler colonials.

Not true. Educate yourself. https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/half-palestinians-still-want-all-palestine-most-would-compromise-less

Wars are fought between armies and countries. This conflict is long standing, I agree. I see you fail to mention the long history of Israeli terrorist violence, occupation, rape, murder, biological warfare and forced displacement of almost a million refugees. See how easy it is to switch the narrative? Blaming the occupied and dispossessed for this is ridiculous. They are the ones who should be protected.

Netanyahu and his extremist, right wing government with convicted terrorists is still in power 'now' and it's about solving the two state solution problem when they have been dismantling the Palestinians territory. This government has ruled out a two state solution. Hamas has not ruled out a two state solution. Who is the barrier to peace again?

Yea right, let's just brush aside the war crimes and atrocities Israel has committed since 1947. History began on October 7th 2023.....

You're avoiding the point. Hamas has actually said it will accept a permanent ceasefire, and has consistently said this since 2017 when it changed its charter. Palestinians do not want Hamas as their government. They do want a permanent peace deal - based on pre-1967 occupation. Of course the population are in prison camps. They cannot move freely within their own lands, and they cannot move freely between their own lands. There is now a case being put to the ICJ that will attempt to force Israel out of these areas, and finally acknowledge the decades long misery that it has piled on the Palestinian people.

How can there be peace when Israel keeps on stealing more and more land. Keeps the population in prison camps for decades. Teaches their kids to hate Arabs. Breaks internatinal law for decades. And you blame Hamas? Hamas have only been around since 1987. Israel has been committing crimes since 1967 - twenty years prior to their formation. I mean, if we're talking chicken and egg, it is quite easy to see who is in the wrong first. Israel. Hamas did not even exist at the time.

This is just blatantly false. I'm sorry, but this shows a lack of understanding. Arab Jews did not have any problems in the region prior to 1947, and almost a million of them were living in surrounding countries in harmony. Antisemitism did not exist in the Middle East. Even today, their argument is not with Jews, it is with Israelis. Israel does not speak for all Jews in the world. Netanyahu may dream that it does, and he may wish that it does. But it does not. Millions of Jews around the world will tell you the same thing. If you watch interviews done with members of Hamas, they are quite explicit. Antisemitism is a European export to the middle east. Arabs didn't have problems with Jews until they started immigrating in their thousands to Palestine, and kicking out the native Arab population. Don't blame Hamas for this, blame Europeans & Americans. Their racist ideology forced Jews to flee to Palestine, because they were not allowed to enter European countries. If Jews had been allowed to return to their home countries, or not mass expelled from Europe, America & Russia then this problem would not exist today. Some parts of the world seem to think that one religion needs a special country all to itself to keep these people safe. No. Those parts of the world just didn't want to admit how racist they were (and are?) and so they advocate for a European colonial project in the Middle East. Hamas are fed up of being occupied and losing more and more of their lands to Israel. They have (since 2017) wanted a permanent ceasefire and a two state solution based on the pre 1967 borders. They want to live freely, just like Israelis are allowed to. They want to be able to have a state. They want to be able to import and export goods, go to school, have a family, start a business, have a safe life. No one should be able to deny them these rights to exist. Facts are: Israel is a settler colonial state. It is an apartheid state. It is a state built on the dead bodies of thousands of Palestinians. It is a state that has been committing crimes in the region for decades. It frequently breaks international law and is shielded from any repercussions from its ally USA. It uses propaganda to twist facts into fiction. It even has its own version of history where they teach kids in schools that Palestinians did not exist, it is OK to hate Arabs, and that Israelis are the only ones entitled to this land. Its actions over the last few months have been fueling antisemitism around the world, making Jews less safe than they ever were. Ironically, we talk about making Jews less safe, but it is the Palestinians who are again suffering. In America, there have been several hate crimes involving the deaths of American Palestinian men and women. Haven't seen a single Jew killed over this in America, yet all we see in the news is "Jews are not safe on campus/at the movies/comedy club etc" Yet it is Palestinian people who are the ones being killed. Double standards. The two state solution is dead only while Israel is entertained. The world needs to step up and force Israel to follow international law. Israel cannot break international laws for decades and lock up and mistreat millions of people. I do not have an inclination to hate Jews, but I do distrust Israel and its government - as we should distrust any far right wing government with convicted terrorists serving as ministers in the cabinet - really, look it up. Unfortunately, the Israel blame game is too good, so most people see the Palestinians as terrorists, see the Palestinians as always starting new conflicts, separate the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem as different entities to try and say Israel is only occupying most of the territory, not all of it.

it was illegal for Trump to take them. This is why the FBI raided Mar-A-Lago: https://www.npr.org/2022/08/13/1117297065/trump-documents-history-national-archives-law-watergate

There is a big difference between Biden and Trump. https://apnews.com/article/biden-classified-documents-trump-side-by-side-fb2c4ebccdbdbb9039c1c5e227b1da53 Whilst both had classified documents in their homes, Biden had a very small number (6). Trump had over 11,000 documents stuffed into boxes kept in Mar-A-Lago. Biden handed everything over, and acknowledged it was an error. Trump lied and lied about it, claiming he did not have any. It is a federal offense to lie to the FBI.

US presidents can not control the gas prices at the pump. Gas Prices were about $2 a gallon when Trump took over from Obama. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-chart-misleads-gas-prices-obama-trump-102618360729

No. Republicans threw out a bill that would have facilitated expediting illegal immigration. The bill would have shut the border down if they encounter a lot of immigrants. More funds for border patrol agents. More funds for building walls. It contained a lot of what republicans want. It would have expedited immigration hearings to 90 days - they would be kicked out of the country or approved to stay within 90 days.

No! I think it demolished Biden. He now looks like a frail old man who is not suitable for another four years. This report completely ruined his reputation and to be fair, he brought it on himself. He should have been (and still can be) a one term president, encouraging someone else to take the reins for this cycle. He is to old, and I agree with the report's findings.

Why? He's energetic, charismatic and he can string a whole sentence together without mumbling or saying he's the greatest. Not a very high bar, but that is what we have been reduced to in this election cycle. Afghanistan was Bush, wasn't it? Ukraine was Russia, wasn't it? - Biden & Trump had nothing to do with this Israel - I kind of agree, but for very different reasons. Illegal immigration - republicans literally just threw out a law that would shut down the border, increase wall building and security officers etc. Trump told republicans to block the new law because he wants this to be an issue during the election cycle... and you want to blame the democrats? Energy prices are a bit higher than Trumps time, but that is to be expected when there are wars involving oil producing nations.

Robert Hur is a republican. Why on earth would he write anything that works out perfectly for the left. Why do you support Trump? I'm genuinely interested to know why. He is senile, says the most outrageous things and is famous for assaulting women "Just stick your hand in their...." He appointed conservative judges that overturned Roe V Wade, thought the civil war had fighter jets in the 1800s, he is facing a total of 91 charges across four criminal cases. They include 44 federal charges and 47 state charges, all of them felonies. He appoints members of his family to the highest offices in the White House and GOP national party roles. He still lies about losing the election. This guy is just insane, why would anyone vote for him?

Gavin Newsome - a much better potential candidate. I'm trying to find something to disagree with in your other points, but they are mostly accurate. He is not an convict, gas prices were lower but no wars was not something Biden brought on his presidency. No one can blame him for Russia invading Ukraine. I wouldn't vote for Trump, but I wouldn't vote for Biden either. There must be some other people out there. Trump and Biden are both unsuitable for President due to their age & policies. Younger, more nimble minds are needed now more than ever.

The topic is about an Aljazeera journalist who Israel claims is also a commander of Hamas' air force. Pointing out that Hamas does not have an air force is on topic. Pointing out that Israel does not allow any journalists into Gaza, and targets the ones that are there is on topic.

Hamas does not have an air force, so most likely does not have an 'air force' commander. How many of these piddly para-glider things did they have anyway - a handful. Does it not seem a joke to you, that they are trying to call this an air force?

Thank you for updating the source. After reading the entire thing, I found this: Hamas does not have an air force... is this an actual joke?
