Where the fuck do you expect over 2 million Palestinians to go? They can't exactly walk right into Israel.

    the open border to Egypt. What would you do with your family if you were in that situation? Be honest, get out of your armchair, dust off the cheeto crumbs from your fingers and think about it like a normal person.

    You'd go. You'd put your family above ideology. If you dont, I really find it hard to sympathise, especially if you were celebrating in the streets in the last few days about a bunch of dead teenagers

    Right, yeah, just give up their homes. That sounds reasonable.

    Starts with an I, ends with an L.

    Israel have for years been treating the Gaza Palestinians like second class citizens, apartheid style. Is that a good amount of context for you?

    I never said there was context that justifies Hamas targeting civilians, but let me make this really simple for you: The way Israel treats Palestinians in Gaza makes violent uprising inevitable.

    And no, I cannot blame the Palestinian civilians there for supporting Hamas. They've been living under generations of oppression. They vote for Hamas because as horrible an organisation as it is, they know Hamas has been fighting tooth and nail for their liberation from Israeli oppression. They have actually traded blows with Israel and continue to do so. When you're under that level of oppression, that's all that is needed to justify that level of support.

    what, send soldiers in with the specific aim to kill random palestinians going about their day? Im not going to bother arguing because frankly you have to be a complete brick to make that sort of a case

    One small border crossing (that is not exactly the most open) for over 2 million people into a country that is ideal hostile to Palestinians? Great option. /s

    And how exactly is that not ethnic cleansing?

    And no, there were not over 2 million Palestinians celebrating in the streets after the terrorist attacks. Get your head out of your ass.
