This spamming BS needs to end.

Even the author of that piece still calls it an injustice.

If I go and paste Andrew Feinstein - who was a south African politician who lost 40-50 family members to the ww2 camps, saying its apartheid, then this goes nowhere.

Post your points or argument if you have one.

I can even post ex IDF saying it's apartheid if we just want to ruin this tread into a game of numbers.

Under international law, you have the right to a armed response if you are an occupied nation.

Palestinians are desperate, they aren't fighting back for a laugh.

Punching down used to be frowned on not supported.

But by international law, they are not an occupied nation..so have no right, nor reason to pick up arms.

What? They are an occupied nation, and I don't think you'll find many people saying otherwise.

Israel is recognised as an occupier by the UN.

They camt be classed as being an occupied nation because the Israelis who settled there were not sent to occupy the areas, they moved at their own accord..

It's a bit like saying anyone moving to the uk is an occupier.

Israel has consistently argued that the settlements are not in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention since, in its view, Israeli citizens were neither deported nor transferred to the territories, and they cannot be considered to have become "occupied territory" since there had been no internationally recognized legal sovereign prior.[h

Israel has consistently argued...

The problem is that anyone arguing to protect their actions after the fact will make all kind of justifications for their crimes.

You don't evict people, bulldoze their homes, and wall them in if it's a choice.

Good to hear Joe Biden say

1. USA stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel
2. He recognised Israel's need to defend itself from attack
3.He will help replenish Iron Dome system

Really glad that Biden has promised to help with the Iron Dome system. If it wasn't for that, Hamas would have slaughtered hundreds, maybe thousands of Israelis.

Israel are a nuclear power, probably one of the most powerful countries in the middle east at this point. They don't need help protecting themselves when they just use Hamas as an excuse to oppress the Palestinian populace. Hamas is a terrorist organisation, Israel has a multifaceted military.

Honestly, it probably benefits Israel to keep Hamas around, it's the excuse and justification for their actions. Get rid of Hamas and it becomes harder to justify their abuse and violence of and towards the palestinian people. With Hamas though, they can keep the support of ignorant masses who think that human rights abuse is okay because brown person = terrorist.
