Perhaps they could sit down when it comes to killing innocent civvies and stick to military targets. I have always been outspoken in Palestine’s favor but lines were crossed and nobody should support it.

    i am not supporting it, but i have hard times defending israel either, both sides are an absolute shit show and have their reasons, but in my eyes, the palestines have a stronger claim to the land. then again, this whole war is based on religions, where i, as an atheist, have nothing to say at all, because without religions, there wouldnt be a claimable holy city and no war whos the truthful owner of it, it would just be another land.

    Not entirely, there is a lot of geopolitical power struggle there as well. Israel was born as a "western puppet" that soon grew and became "too important to abandon". Without it, the arab nations would be more likely to ignore whatever the western powers demand, as they'd have a hard time reaching them. With Israel, it's like a gun's permanently pointed at them and "any funny business" against them means you also have to deal with USA
