So if that is what they want, then maybe they should stop stealing land for settlements, should stop harassment of Palestinian workers that help their economy, should let them worship and not harassed by religious zealots, plus plus.

Hear hear.

Okay, so why does Palestine not fight back by attacking the people actually encroaching into their area? Why sneak into Israel's area to rape and kill a lot of defenseless innocent people, including women, children and babies? 

 

How is that fighting back?

 

How does one have sympathy for that? 

Ask them. I don't know exact details. You would need to be in the thick of it. I don't dare speculate why babies are killed.

You throw around these “nuggets” like they were candy; they address little of what is seen in the photos that look more like a blanket bombing strategy, than precision bombing. Also, the casualties, “number of people killed in Gaza since 7 October has risen to 5,087. Women and children have made up more than 62 percent of the fatalities, while more than 15,273 people have been injured”  don't back you up. Maybe if you were standing in the middle of the rubble, you would have a different opinion. I also find it interesting that it is okay for early Zionists to fight and kill for political gain, but other people fighting for the same rights on the other side must be eradicated. Reminds me of another political solution that we all agree is abhorrent, but seems to be playing out in Palestine, where people are herded and controlled, rights taken away, private property and land confiscated; with no future in the box Netanyahu helped build.

Maybe they should have got the F  ck away before the Bombs started falling they were warned. A bit like theres a Huuricane on the way you better get away  NOOO im staying then come crying when your house is gone.

Yada yada yada. It's another stuck record. Maybe Palestine should stop bombing Israel! They have a right to protect their citizens!

Two can play your deflective game, why do they constantly bomb Israel. Are you saying the Palestinians want peace if you do I have a London Bridge to sell you.

Because of the expansionary settlements and oppressive occupation.

Yes, the majority of Palestinians want a two state solution.

 

By and large, Gazans do not share Hamas’s goal of eliminating the state of Israel. When presented with three possible solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (as well as an option to choose “other”), the majority of survey respondents (54 percent) favored the two-state solution outlined in the 1993 Oslo accords. In this scenario, the state of Palestine would sit alongside the state of Israel, their borders based on the de facto boundary that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War. The level of support for this resolution has not changed much since 2021; in that survey, 58 percent of respondents in Gaza selected the two-state solution.

We are all appalled at your attempt to point score using dead babies as your weapon of choice!

And here is the heart of the problem.

 

There are but three possible solutions:

 

1. One state solution 

2. Two state solution, independent side by side states 

3. Genocide

 

What does Israel want?

 

Number one is off the table because demographics would make the Jews a minority and as much as they love to claim they are the only democracy in the Middle East, they won't accept a democracy where Arabs have the numerical advantage. The world won't accept apartheid which is what the Israeli's really want so no acceptable outcome for Israel here

 

Number two is off the table because the Israeli's won't give up the land they have already stolen so every offer is always going to be unacceptable to the Palestinians, additionally a defined border prevents further land theft. The idea of Jordan absorbing the West Bank and Egypt absorbing Gaza doesn't work as this option would still require a defined border with Israel and the Israeli's will not like that because, as mentioned, it ends their ability to keep stealing land.

 

Number three appears to be the Israeli's preferred option. A slow moving genocide of an entire people. Make life as unbearable as possible in the hope that the Palestinians will give up and leave of their volition until their numbers dwindle to such a level that option one - a one state solution becomes viable.

 

 

You have posted countless comments either supporting, excusing, justifying or deflecting from the terrorism of Hamas. Some of your earlier comments were slightly more considered and nuanced, but now accusing Israel of wanting the genocide of the Palestinian people, you seem to have completely abandoned any earlier pretence of balance.

 

You thus expose yourself as a supporter of the terrorism of Hamas. You will no doubt reply with some false equivalence of Israel being terrorists, because it seems to be the only methodology you use when defending Hamas.

Mismatched capabilities.

 

A full frontal assault on an adversary overwhelmingly more powerful than you is suicide.

Hamas's aim was to commit an attack that would enrage the Israeli's into a overly brutal response that would leave the rest of the Arab world no option but to get involved.

 

So far, it's all going exactly to Hamas's plan.

 

There is no sympathy, just cold hard facts.

You're lying again. I said nothing of a full-frontal assault. Please re-read my post and apologize. 

If you want to know why Gaza is so poor, in spite if massive infusions of aid money, look no further than Hamas.  They have built a tunnel system that some say is 500km in length under and around Gaza.  It honeycombs the area beneath the city. One of the recently released hostages described it as like a spider's web.  This is the key to wiping out Hamas. Smoke them out of their tunnels and destroy the facilities.

In your opinion, what is Israel's preferred path to peace?

Does Israel want a one or two state solution?

What is their current official position in regards to their preferred option?

 

Can you answer the questions maturely, without resorting to childish point scoring?

I never attributed "full frontal assault" to you, I was merely explaining why Hamas resorts to terrorism.

The only people who can wipe out Hamas are the Palestinians.

 

Israel can keep killing Palestinian babies until the cows come home and all they'll achieve is a strengthened Hamas.

Just on the news. Israel going full out. They will eventually take over all the area. They will not ceasefire until Hamas gone. But surely terrorist strikes will continue until many new generations slowly forget.

There's no other reasons why Gaza is so poor? 

Hint, something the Israelis did.

Yes we could find anything we wanted to suit our narratives on the internet, and indeed you are very skilled at doing just that, but it doesn't alter the fact that the Palestinian terrorists started this whole shebang, there wouldn't be any deaths and why do you avoid the most obvious of reasons to these deplorable actions and venture down deflection drive. 

Nothing excuses the actions of the Palestinian Terrorists on the 7th October.

You're right, I forgot. In 2005. 8,000 Israelis moved out of Gaza. They foolishly left behind greenhouses and materials for the Gazans to use. Millions of dollars in outside aid also came in. But the Gazans wisely refused to copy the dirty Jews and try to make money by growing flowers and other valuable crops. No, they wisely decided to loot and burn anything left behind by the departing Jews. Turned the piping onto rockets to get revenge on them.  So yes, the Jews in  way sowed the seeds of their own discomfort.
