    I didn’t say Palestine doesn’t have a right to exist. There have been many opportunities for it to exist. However, a large enough portion of the population has decided Israel does not have a right to exist that they accept no compromise. You could look up the actual history, but that’s asking too much I suppose.

    You act like the situation is so simple to deal with. But I wonder how would you deal with having people right next to you that insist you need to die. And regularly attack you, your friends, and family.

    Threatening UN members? How? Do you mean UN workers? Because Israel certainly isn’t walking around the UN threatening member states.

    And people aren’t talking about the hostages, because they were practically dead the moment they were taken in to Gaza during the third largest terrorist attack in history.

      Fair enough. Let’s see:

      You gave them terrorists as a government, put them into a nicer concentration camp really, put an embargo on them, even studying how much calories they need to be on the verge of starvation but not dying and only allow that much food in. That’s only the last 16 years I’m talking about. I would join Hamas or whomever too, were I to be born and oppressed in those conditions. It’s like there’s a push for blanket amnesia every time Israel commits a war crime.

      The most important thing, everybody hates Hamas and everybody hates Netanyahu and settlers. That’s how the world feels about it. And paying off influencers, arresting and killing journalists won’t change a shit, pressing the UN chief to resign, just because he wants humanitarian aid and pointed out that these things didn’t happen in a vacuum…

      The UN thing: Israel-Hamas war live: Israel vows to ‘teach the UN a lesson’ as row over secretary-general’s speech escalates

      It’s a live thingy, you can follow here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/oct/25/israel-hamas-war-live-news-gaza-child-deaths-unicef-jenin-west-bank-strike?page=with:block-6538a4a08f08fea9e14d9b67&filterKeyEvents=false

      Yes I do know a lot about their history, let’s put that aside.

      Also, I do live in a country where I was assaulted just because they think I’m a Muslim. So there’s that.
