If you hear 'Palestinians killed' and dismiss it as 'who cares', it's a problem

They at the very least wanted all the land they already owned. Google Arab owned land in 1947 vs what the UN partition gave to Israel.

For instance, Israel was given the entire Negev, and no almost no Jews owned any land or lived there.

There never was a Palestine. They refused to participate in talks for the partition. Israel agreed and formed a country and then was attacked so took the west bank for security

The world already demands concessions. Israel ignores them.



No fan of the PLO, PA, or whatever the **** they're called these days. Even more antipathy toward Hamas. But Israel's not blameless. They create squalor. Do that and you're going to have people who want to wipe your country off the map. That's saying nothing of the controversial origins of Israel in the first place.

Israel owes nothing to people dedicated to their destruction

They refused to participate because the UN wanted to give Israel huge swathes of land that no Jews lived in or owned land in. Would you have agreed to that?

Why should Israel have been given the Negev when basically no Jews lived there?

Israel didn’t take the West Bank until 1967 and did so in a war of aggression they started.

Why should anyone care what you say? You don’t base your positions off of evidence. You reject any evidence that doesn’t conform to your preconceived notions. You’re no different than your average mindless Trumphumper.

That's the mentality of war criminals - the people who might 'not care' about the Holocaust because of who the victims were, for example. There are cases where there's more support for killing - like against the Axis in WWII, or Russian invaders in Ukraine - Palestinians are not such a case, as much as Israeli propagandists try to make them one.

'Heinous Crime': Israeli Strikes on Gaza Kill at Least 13 Palestinians, Including Children | Common Dreams

While one United Nations official slammed the Israeli bombings as "unacceptable," an Israel Defense Forces colonel called the deaths of four children "irrelevant."

Killing numerous civilians doesn’t sound even remotely “surgical”.

You do realize Israel used the exact same tactics to gain its own independence, right?

Massacring civilians is not ”war” and benefits no one.

I'm confused here.

Are you saying that Hamas/Hezbollah/whoever doesn't fire indiscriminate attacks into Israel?

I’m saying that Glitch’s claim of antisemitism towards those who discuss the overreach of Israel in the manner that they treat Palestinians is a clear LIE and making such statements undercuts the person who makes such spurious accusations, not those to whom the comments are directed. Glitch just needs to shut up if that sort of strawman ridiculousness is the “best” that he can do. The title of the OP is NOT antisemitism. That’s a stupid comment by Glitch. He makes a lot of them throughout the various forums.

There is no country which has strictly adhered to the Geneva conventions
 
Questerr said:
And countries who violate them get prosecuted.
Click to expand...
No, in fact they almost never do. First off you can’t prosecute an entire country, and secondly actual prosecutions for alleged war crimes are rare

The total prosecution for My Lai for example came down to like 5 years for one junior officer. I don’t think the Vietnamese prosecuted any pow camp guards for the Hanoi Hilton

The six-days war was not a war of aggression Israel started. You can hit first and still be acting in self defense especially when the enemy amasses its military at your border and says he's going to annihilate you. That's empty propaganda on your part and anyone who makes such assertions automatically loses an argument as he proves he's willing to disconnect himself from basic human logic and common sense for the sake of lies and propaganda.

Your first statement also makes no sense.
The Jewish community agreed to receive lands that are mainly desert while the Arabs had been granted two countries (Jordan and the good parts of the land of Israel).
Regardless once the Arabs decided to try and destroy the Jews, they were the aggressors.

Yet you support Russia doing so in Ukraine, quite hypocritical that you later treat Israel's self-defense results as a "massacre of civilians" although it doesn't target civilians and aborts missions when it identifies that the risk for civilians is too high.
You're not one to preach morality to anyone since you openly take pride of the fact that you automatically support every war criminal out there and since acts of mass murder grant you pleasure.

As usual, when Apocalypse is confronted with Israel’s routine killings of Palestinian civilians he starts screeching about Russia. The vast discrepancies in Israeli and Palestinian civilian deaths during every round of the conflict is, on its own, enough just to dismantle your argument.

If I supported “every war criminal out there” I’d be defending thugs like Bibi Netanyahu. Duh 🙄😂
