@TroyJackson207 Would you support the Iron Dome, which is defensive, was developed by Israel, and has likely saved >100,000 civilian lives since Oct 7?
Or not even that? ๐ค
@BworsethanT@nxt888 I think it was generally a mistake to give all of that land to the Hashemites, but it happened, so we accept it. Many borders changed in the mid 20th century.
It boggles my mind that venomous Westerners will accept all of that, except for Israel
@BworsethanT@nxt888 Are you still upset that 78% of Palestine was given to Hashemite Emir Abdullah from Saudi Arabia? That must be really frustrating to you?
@CTVNews The irony "Many in the Palestinian diaspora live across the border in Egypt, which was a key mediator of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire."
Oh how Egypt has a giant impenetrable wall to Gaza. Oh how they refuse protecting innocent Gazans under Hamas' rule. And still exploit the cause!
@boofsteam@YoBenCohen Awful.
But can we agree that both sides are doing awful things? And that both sides are responsible?
And that we in the West are irresponsible to assign all the blame to 1 side?
And that when we do assign blame only to one side, we put their related people in the West at risk?
@mccarthy_sf@YoBenCohen Want to expand? Curious to hear how it's not normal to:
Recognize both sides are doing bad things. Both sides are responsible.
Let's start there?
@yarounsouthleb@YoBenCohen Wait, you think only Israel is "doing bad things" and Hamas, PA, Palestine have not "done bad things."
If you want things to get better, this is not helping.
@CTVNews You could mention how previous bans, boycotts, BDS, etc. have nearly always backfired for the Palestinian people.
All of this is a farce, especially if you do the research & look at some history.
They're just pandering to the rabid, pro-Islamist, extreme leftie thought bullies
@CJPME You realize that sanctions on Israeli goods or BDS nearly always backfires.
Nearly always makes Palestinian lives worse off & Israel co's more $.
Turkey, Sodastream, Orangeโฆ
Maybe stop with the posturing & do what's best for Palestinians.
Which is not what you're vouching for
@yuenpauwoo@AnitaAnandMP@CanadaFP@MarkJCarney If anyone should know there is nuance to complex world conflicts, it's a Canadian senator.
Hamas attacked to provoke this latest warโ
The destruction & death in Gaza is EXACTLY what Hamas WANTED to happenโ
Your coddling of the pro Ps has put Canadian Jews in danger. Wake up
@cenkuygur The question is actually not "does Palestine have a right to exist?"
The question is "does Palestine want Palestine to exist?" without umh expecting Israel to vanish.
And the answer, according to history and stuff, seems to be "no, no, and no."
So where do we go from here?
@mhdksafa But there are a few things profoundly different & perplexing about so-called genocide of Palestinians:
1) When Hamas attacked on Oct 7, this amount of death & destruction is exactly what they wanted to happen to them
2) Population goes up
3) Stopped once they released hostages
@MHTruthUltra Even if you stated that it was "30,000+ innocent Palestinians"โฆ
and even if you had ignored that an equal number of deranged Islamist militants had also been killedโฆ
you would have missed thatโฆ
this is exactly what Hamas expected AND WANTED when they attacked Israel.
@jjz1600 What is your solution then?
Regardless how evil you think Israel is, it exists as a country, and they have a problem. They continue to be bombarded by Hms, Hzbllh, Iran.
Please tell us what you would do?
@DrHananAshrawi I disagree with you that UNRWA has been more beneficial than damaging for the Palestinian people, and that there are facts to support it called a genocide.
But you, Hanan, are one of the few Palestinian leaders who can help your people & who are not deranged.
What will you do?
