    Israel was a settler-colonial project from its inception. The people living there had every right to oppose it.

    Despite getting defeated every time.

    Might makes right?

      Yes, opposite it. Look for a solution both sides can agree on. Fighting war for 80 years with the started goal of destroying Israel is not a viable solution.

        You’re pretty stuck on this “stated goal of destroying Israel” thing, aren’t you?

        If conditions changed such that Palestinians could lead fruitful and peaceful lives, then they would do so. Even under current conditions they mostly just try to get by.

            Pretty simple, follow the American example and judge people based on their actions instead of their associations. Israel would have put in more humanitarian work if they really wanted to defeat Hamas. Instead they decided to prop up a/the mutually genocidal political opponent. I wonder if they’re even capable of learning.

            You’re conflating Hamas with all Palestinians in order to justify genocide.
