No reasonable country and no sane leader would accept these terms. You are mad at israel for refusing to just lay dowm and take it while you hold us to higher standards then you do anyone else in the world? Why do we have to justify striking back when you dont...
Americans supporting this horrific deal with terrorists while yelling "this was never our war" as if iran was planning to spare you when they got nukes... and leta not act as if this deal is even in your best interest let alone ours, your taxes are going to pay them an insane
As for israel attempting to "blow up the negotiations" if we are not part of them, we dont state our demands you dont get to tell us to stop attacking in iran and sure as hell dont get to tell us to stop attacking hezbollah while they still attack us
I speak my mind on the that im living through as an israeli and twitch suspended my account cuz it didnt the woke pro pali idea... but all the terrorist supporters dont even get a warning. How insane
โFree Palestine.โ
I grew up on those words.
In Lebanon, most people around me wanted a free Palestine for a very practical reason โ to send the Palestinian refugees back. The civil war that tore my country apart was ignited in no small part by the Palestinian armed factions who turned Lebanon into their launching pad. โFree Palestineโ meant: free us from them.
In Damascus, where my fatherโs family lived, the sentiment was different but equally self-serving. Palestine must be returned to the Arabs, its righteous owners. No one asked follow-up questions. No one was expected to.
Palestine was central to Islam, most Arabs are Muslim, therefore supporting the Palestinian cause was reflexive. A non-brainer in the most literal sense โ no brain engaged at all.
Nobody stopped to point out that Palestine is not an Arabic word. Nobody found it strange that Jerusalem, the supposedly third holiest city in Islam, is not mentioned once in the Quran. Not once. Nor is Palestine. The entire theological and political architecture of this cause rests on a foundation that their own scripture doesnโt bother to acknowledge.
What was actually happening was indoctrination. A systematic, generational rejection of Jewish sovereignty โ and frankly, of any minority sovereignty. Jews, Christians, Druze, Kurds, Assyrians, Yazidis โ the Arab world has been remarkably consistent in how it treats people who are different. We just donโt talk about that.
Instead, in the West, we talk about Palestine.
In the West, a civilization that has elevated human rights to its highest moral currency, the Palestinian cause has become the one exception to every rule. In the queue of human suffering, Palestinians cut the line every time. Homosexuals executed in Gaza and hanged from cranes in Iran? Palestine first. Women imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for campaigning for the right to drive โ a right they were denied until 2018 โ girls sold into marriage in Afghanistan, women erased from public life entirely under the Taliban? After Palestine. Political dissidents ground into dust in Syrian and Egyptian prisons, journalists disappeared in Libya, children starving in Yemen while their rulers wage proxy wars, entire populations hollowed out by hunger in Sudan? All of it waits. Christians ethnically cleansed from Iraq and Syria, the Arab world methodically emptied of every Jewish community it once held โ a demographic erasure carried out across a century with surgical patience and near-total Western silence?
Palestine is still first.
So letโs end where we started. Free Palestine. Which Palestine, exactly? The Roman invention? The British administrative line? The British Mandate covered the entire territory of what is today Israel, the West Bank, Gaza and Jordan. In 1921, 78% of that mandate was handed to the Hashemite family โ a dynasty imported from Hijaz in present-day Saudi Arabia โ and became the Kingdom of Jordan, which it remains to this day. A foreign royal family, on the majority of historic Palestine, ruling it as a monarchy. Nobody protests that. No flags, no chants, no encampments. The remaining 22% was designated for the Jews, became Israel, and is the only part that any pro-Palestinian activist has ever had a problem with.
So when you say Free Palestine, you mean that 22%. You mean the Jews.
And free it from whom? From a people with a three-thousand-year-old documented presence in that land, to restore the glory of a name coined by Roman colonizers, a name lifted from the Torah, a name that has no roots in Arabic, no mention in the Quran, and no history as a sovereign state?
You are not chanting for liberation. You are chanting for colonialism โ the Roman kind, repackaged for social media.
Free Palestine is not a cause. It is a colonial term, coined by invaders, recycled by the indoctrinated. The least you can do is have the intelligence to understand it and the decency to reflect on your position.

Interesting!
A man from Gaza who lost his wife and children in the war, made a formal submission to the International Criminal Court demanding 14 Hamas leaders be investigated for crimes against the Palestinian people.
The submission includes the following crimes:
- utilizing the presence of civilians as human shields
- attacking civilians
- intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects
- willfully causing great suffering
- destruction and appropriation of property
- excessive incidental death, injury, or damage
- attacking protected objects
- committing outrages upon personal dignity
- using, conscripting, or enlisting children
- execution without due process
The man is represented by Eli Rosenbaum, a former senior US Justice Department war crimes prosecutor, French attorney Sarah Scialom, and American attorney Elliot Malin.
If the submission is accepted, this will be the first time Hamas members are charged with crimes committed against their own civilians.
