Does the other country have the right to wantonly flout international law and the social conventions it claims to be a standard bearer for at every turn while doing so?


Israel has no perfectly moral solution to hamas in gaza. they chose to err on the side of making sure october 7 never happens again. I don’t blame them for that.


Maybe they should have erred on the size of not doing everything they could to ensure Hamas' birth and continued existence.


They probably played a dangerous game in the past with hamas, indeed. Much like the US with the iranian mollah, or with the taliban in afghanistan.

Yet, now that they've decided to stop this game and finally deal with hamas once and for all, i'm certainly not going to blame them.


Isn't the moral solution be to surrender and go back home to Europe where they came from instead of trying to invade Palestine to steal their land?

European Jews do not have the right to steal Palestinian land.

Why can't Israel simply surrender and admit defeat in the war that they started? They never got the Palestinians to surrender. I don't see any signed surrender documents? Israelis have always existed in a war zone of their own creation, with every home required to have a bomb shelter.

Right now it appears that Israel is headed towards defeat, with more nations recognizing the existence of Palestine.


Recognition of Palestine is an empty gesture that does nothing for Palestinians. The commitments from European nations and Canada are based on promises from a corrupt body. Read a book about the history of the region and you'll see that such promises mean nothing, no matter who makes them - European powers or Arab governments.

Current promises are more about domestic politics than anything else.


You don't seem to know a lot about the history of jews and israelis... They have nowhere else to go.

Jews have spent 2000 years running away from people who wanted to kill them, and now they've decided to stop.


most of the jews in israel are sephardic, theyre from the middle east and were kicked out by racist regimes so they fled to israel. The mindset you are espousing about palestinians not surrendering will end very badly for the palestinians. They can not win a war against israel, the more they fight the worse things get for them. Pushing them to fight more only does them a disservice.
