They don't care about Palestinians. As far as some are concerned Palestinians are not even human beings and deserve to be exterminated, which makes some of us want to burn our Bible at the hypocrisy of reading the same book.

You can burn your Biden old man but the Palestinians don't care about Palestinians. From the age of 3 they teach their kids to kill. That's not a nation those are murderous Islamic pigs

I was watching the whole thing live on even CNN and they confirmed Palestinians initially shot hundreds of rockets into Southern Israel. I despise war, destruction and chaos, But to any rational mind what did u expect to happen? Action and reaction are both equal and opposite.

Ya bro. Simpletons like budaatum, PrideofLincoln1 Ladyhippolyta don't make use of their brains. They are a waste of oxygen in this planet.

Palestinians has been shooting atleast 150 rockets into Israel every year. Now they have upped their frequency. Israel should behave like the Palestinians and send hundreds of rockets back let's see what these pigs I mentioned earlier will say about it.

Israel took down a 12 storey building in Gaza with a rocket, and the Palestinians retaliated with about 200 rockets.

I was just reading Daily Mail and their headline read Palestinians fired 130 rockets.

It's only after reading the body of the story, they subtly hid in there that Israel took down a 12 story building killing tens of people first, and this was the retaliation.

Western media has always been biased against the Palestinians with reports that make you think Israel is retaliating when they are the aggressor.

I don't know where you are getting your information from. Palestinians don't even want Israel to exist from the very first day the Israeli state was created.

Israel is or was surrounded by neighbors who pledge to exterminate them and some of them still hold that agenda while some of them are now in working terms with Israel.

I think the problem is Palestinians. If they could accept to live in harmony all this will stop. Palestinians was even crossing into Israel to work and get medical treatments before they started using those privileges to carry out suicide bombing. Israel had to build a wall.

First Palestinians should take back their country from the terrorists groups hamas who runs the country and come to the table and talk peace. Else this conflicts will continue. You cannot be teaching your kids hate... Someone already mentioned. When you do those kids will never see peace till they die.

Trump supporters are not that bright anyway they will just go to one deranged right-wing site and read crap come and post them here and call it facts.

How can anyone with the right information about what is going on in Gaza support what the Israeli's are doing.

They started it and I feel Netanyahu is just doing this for power to remove attention from the fact that he is failing to build a coalition and may not be Prime Minister very soon.

It is really sad.Free Palestine for God's sake you don't even have to be Muslim to be sympathetic to what these people are going through.They are second class citizens in their land




We might not agree on major ideologies and policies but with regards to the issue of the Palestine and Israeli conflict, I believe mordern Israeli's are the aggressors and even if they are not the aggressors and they were provoked by Hamas, their retaliation and deterrence is not proportionate to the conflict at hand because they have superior military might further escalating their problems, as a Christian conservative who operates on logic, critical thinking, facts and Truths, I don't subscribe to the victimhood narrative of mainstream media outlets and Right wing propaganda for Israel , Palestinians are the true victims

ISIS was the victim too.

If Israel is the stronger military isn't that supposed to be a reason why Palestinians shouldn't be the first to always shoot missiles? Each year they shoot hundreds of missile into Israel. When a nation is set up to be ruled by terrorists group you will not see peace from that nation.

Israel has the right to defend itself.

ISIS was funded by the CIA, Mossad, and Turkish and Saudi intelligence, they were trained, armed, and sponsored by coalition of some Arab nations, USA, Israel and Turkey, their sole purpose is to destabilize the middle East by wrecking havoc and chaos in opposing nations like Iraq,Libya, Iran and Syria, the moderate rebels that were sponsored to topple Asssad and they succeeded in removing Gaddafi during Obama regime, these mordern Israeli are Zionist-Nationalist and extremist who have an hegemonic agenda to dominate the middle East by any means possible via alliance with influential Arab nations like Saudi, UAE, Jordan, etc and also western allies like France, Britain , US


They use the Nazi genocide of Jewish extermination during the world war 2 to justify their aggression to usurp Palestine Land and spread chaos in the middle East also portraying themselves as a victims in the process seeking to return back to their promised Land

Palestine was never a state. Israelis are the real owners of that land. The Bible and the Koran can confirm that. Biblican archeological findings also proves it.

When Israel went back to their land to settle. I think UK and the UN make sure they divide the land for both parties. Israel accepts the deal while Palestine rejects the deal. As of today Palestine is still not a state because they reject the deal.

The Arab nations surrounding Israel all reject the deal and pledge to exterminate Israel. Seven Arabic nations went to war with Israel and they lost to Israel. Israel also took some of Egyptian land after that war which they returned back to Egypt.

Hamas has never been for peace. You see Israel as the aggressors because they are powerful but that's not how life works. Woman en can hit a man and harrass him and everyone will not see that woman as a problem. But if the man hits her back and responds everyone will start reminding him that you don't hit a woman as a man.

If it was not for Israeli army or technology do you know if Israel will even exist? You don't seem to talk about all the unprovoked missiles Palestinians shoot almost every week in the past 3 years. Palestinians should embrace peace if they can't fight. There is a reason the walls are built

Land disputes are very difficult and protracted even among family members. It will take a lot of compromise on both sides to resolve. Isreal is not ready to compromise and continues to annex palestinian lands.

Hamas was created to oppose the occupation of Palestine by the Jews who were offered the land by the British, so I cant quite understand why the Palestinians should stop fighting those who are stealing their land first.

The bold is rubbish. That land has changed hands multiple times and the original settlers are the Israelites. Egypt, romans have all occupied that land. As of resent it was the UK that occupied it before they decided to create two states. One for Israel the other for Palestine.

"Statehood" (country, is the now accepted word by the way), is a western concept imposed on you so you think everywhere must have been one. There are those arguing that Nigeria is not a "state" for the same reason that it was imposed.

They understand. They just want to refuse to accept it is true because it contradicts what they want to believe.

Its the same way they refuse to eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil despite reading that Adam and Eve ate it and their eyes opened and they found it good for gaining wisdom and freed themselves from slavery and became self employed and lived for 800 or so years after eating it, because they believe they will die on the day they eat it.

They fear to use their senses like Christ taught them to and therefore remain enslaved to their ignorance.

This did not start in 1948, but as far back as the late 1800s after the Great War! Its in the link I gave you, and I just can not bother if you refuse to read!

Modern Israel has its origins in the Zionism movement, established in the late 19th century by Jews in the Russian Empire who called for the establishment of a territorial Jewish state after enduring persecution. In 1896, Jewish-Austrian journalist Theodor Herzl published an influential political pamphlet called The Jewish State, which argued that the establishment of a Jewish state was the only way of protecting Jews from anti-Semitism.
https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/state-of-israel-proclaimed

Fact is, in the 1940s, some people arrived in the land known as Palestine and began to claim it as their own, and cells rose up to oppose them and you now label them terrorist as if you expected them to just say "okay, you have the land" when you were terrorising them to take it off them!

The same was said of Mandela's ANC when they too were fighting to take their land back. Or do you not see the similarities?

Wrong!!!

[b]Palestinian leaders claim that the Palestinians are descended from the Canaanite people who lived in the Land of Canaan before the Israelite tribes settled in it.
What is the source of the name “Palestine?” It is not Arab; it is derived from the name “Palestina,” by which the Roman Emperor Hadrian chose to call the land after the defeat of the Bar Kokhba Revolt in 135 CE. His aim was to erase “Judea.”
According to Palestinian historian Muhammad Y. Muslih, during the entire 400 year period of Ottoman rule (1517-1918), before the British set up the 30-year-long Palestine Mandate, “There was no political unit known as Palestine.” In Arabic, the area was known as al-Ard al-Muqadassa (the holy land), or Surya al-Janubiyya (southern Syria), but not Palestine.
Not a single Palestinian tribe identifies its roots in Canaan; instead, they all see themselves as proud Arabs descended from the most notable Arab tribes of the Hejaz, today’s Iraq, or Yemen. Even the Kanaan family of Nablus locates its origins in Syria. Some Palestinian clans are Kurdish or Egyptian in origin, and in Mount Hebron, there are traditions of Jewish origins.
This study does not deny the right of the Palestinian clans as a whole to define themselves as a Palestinian people. It would be better, however, if the Palestinian leadership were to choose a positive and constructive narrative and not a baseless one that is intended to negate that of the Jews of Israel.[/b]

How Palestine lost their land by opposing Israel for grabbing more of their land, you mean.

What right does the United Nation have for partitioning the land in the first place? Do you think United Nations can come and partition land for Biafra and Nigeria will just say okay?
