If this was about humanity you would oppose suffering and violence on both sides and strive for a solution that involves all the humans in that region living in peace and harmony.

Having extreme hatred for one side is exactly what perpetuates the cycle and doesn’t make you a good person.

I do not harbour hatred for any arbitrary collective group of humans, only for the actions of states and organisations which I perceive as the perpetrators and perpetuators of the cycles of violence.

Israel has both the power and the means to stop this. But not the will. If they stopped expansionism, settling, and the embargo of Palestinian territories, violence would decrease over time.

Occupying more land and razing cities to the ground does the exact opposite.

You are repeating tropes that are totally irrational if you look at the facts yourself.

Can you tell me by how many square miles Israel has expanded since 1970?

It actually shrank by more than 50%

They completely withdrew from Lebanon and were subsequently attacked by Hezbollah.

They withdrew from Gaza and the Gazans elected Hamas.

Just open Google maps and zoom out until you can see all the Muslim countries, Israel is barely a visible speck. It’s like 2% the size of Egypt and 1% the size of Iran - and that has not significantly changed in more than 50 years.

Thanks!

I only would consider people worthy to discuss if they are agree on this. Most of the time people dont.
