[@DorZ1983]

I like this guy, really! It would be honored to meet him. I'm a 41 yo Israeli and he's arguing this debate better than I would. (And I used to be a lawyer...). I don't know you but next time you're in Israel you're invited to dinner at my home. Regarding Al Aktza - 1. There is no mention of Jerusalem in the Koran. So it's a big debate if it was ever as holy to Muslims as they claim. They hove Meka which is the holiest place for tham. 2. Jews are not allowed to pray at the temple. Only Muslims. There are soldiers there because most of the time, there are also terrorists there. They prayed with her... she just wasn't aware of it, and feared from the IDF who are actually the ones that kept here safe and enabled her to pray. 3. Beit Hamikdash is from King David. The Muslims built Al Aktza on top of it. We, the Jews pray in the Kotel, a huge wall of the temple that wasn't ruined. And is beneath Al Aktza. I had my Bar Mizta there, and I hope my son will too. 4. Put everything aside - what about our 128 kidnapped people? Of all ages - the youngest was 9 months old on the 7th of October and if he's still alive, he's 1.5 yo now. The oldest are holocaust survivors. What about them? Do "Pro-Palestinians" think it is right that they are held captive for 230 days now? Raped, murder... do you know that on the last negotiations - hamas said he cannot find 40 alive hostages? And now they are talking about less than 20 alive... want to talk about starving and raping as a means of war?!? Do you as "pro-palestinians" support that?

I come from the left (at times, I might even say from the radical left) in Europe, and I used to be blindly pro-Palestinian. I would react strongly to images of dead Palestinian children after Hamas’s attacks on Israel, feeling anger toward Israel. For years, I watched these events unfold without once feeling outraged by Hamas’s exploitation of Palestinian children’s lives. However, one day, almost inexplicably, it was literally like an awakening, I felt intense anger toward Hamas for the first time. It was then that I begun a deep and unbiased research into the history of both sides. Before that I was just parroting , reacting to the images and romanticizing Hamas as true rebels for the cause of their people, when in reality they are pure tribalistic savages who make multibillions from their people's exploitation. I discovered that the Arab world harbored a profound hatred for Jews, which nowadays is even intertwined with a MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR Hamas's business. Hamas, does not want Peace! This was even evident in 2005 when Israel evacuated 8000 settles and the whole military. Israel could have gradually relinquished control over the airspace and sea if the other side truly sought peace. As for historical context, Israel did indeed clear out areas in brutal ways during the 1940s. But this came after the massive attacks and attempts from the neighboring Arab countries who joined the Palestinian Arabs, who aimed to eradicate all Jews from the region. The Jewish population fought fiercely for its life and ultimately prevailed, organizing themselves and evolving. HAMA'S LEADERS WEALTH : Abu Marzuk: The deputy chair of the Hamas Political Bureau, Abu Marzuk, is estimated to be worth $3 billion. Khaled Mashal: Another senior leader, Khaled Mashal, boasts a net worth of approximately $4 billion. Ismail Haniyeh: Ismail Haniyeh, also a senior leader, shares a similar net worth of around $4 billion. Their sources of wealth include: Taxes on Smuggled Goods: Hamas leaders benefit from a 20% tax on all smuggled goods passing through the organization’s network of underground tunnels. These tunnels serve as a lifeline for goods entering Gaza, and the resulting tax revenue contributes to their wealth. International Donors, Primarily Qatar: Hamas receives significant financial aid from Qatar, further enhancing their wealth and enabling them to maintain luxurious lifestyles. Investments and Real Estate: Some leaders, like Khaled Mashal, have diversified their wealth through investments in Egyptian banks and real estate projects in Arabian Gulf countries . Additionally, Hamas assets are frequently used to compensate jailed terrorists or their families. These payments range from $400 per month for those serving up to three years to $3,400 per month for those serving 30 years or more. All this occurs in a region where 60% of Palestinians live below the international poverty line of $60 per month. In summary, while Gazans struggle with basic needs, Hamas leaders accumulate immense wealth through various means-taxes, international aid, and investments. Their affluence sharply contrasts with the hardships faced by ordinary Palestinians. Meanwhile, they perpetuate hatred toward Jews in schools, cultivating future militants. They exploit children directly or indirectly, assigning little to no value to their lives. We cannot expect Israel to jeopardize its people’s safety for Palestinian families who have not yet REBELLED AGAINST HAMAS, especially when their children are being used in such ways. HAMAS DOES NOT WANT PEACE! The Palestinian Arab children suffer primarily due to their own people’s actions and, subsequently, Israel’s responses. My heart goes out to these children

[@vivianelanthier722]

Thank you for taking the trouble to post the information. I never supported them because when I was a young adult back in the 70s, they committed so many terrorist acts. The number of innocents they killed back then was just insane. Older people tend to support Israel because at a young age we witnessed how brutal Palestinians could be. Even people who weren't paying attention back then couldn't miss the events at the Munich Olympics.

[@peacebyond]

​@@vivianelanthier722 Yes, I only learned about those incidents because I searched. Especially during the Second Intifada, Palestinian militant groups sometimes used even children for suicide bombings. Minors were recruited to attack Israeli targets, both military and civilian. This gave me the answer why Israel has imprisoned so many children. Because they are trained from school even nowadays to kill Jews. How to deal with this?

This is what started WWII. *8.* It was Israeli's also that invaded and hijacked the Bolshevik Revolution. Then they went on to commit the greatest mass genocide in human history (according to Nobel Prize winning Winston Churchill and Alexander Solzhenitsyn) - which was motivated by their ethnic and religious hatred of the White Christians. *9.* They also trained up Pol Pots and General Mao, who went to commit similar scaled and levels of genocide in Asia. *10. Lastly,* Charlie crying about Jews not being able to enter the Dome of the Rock is hilarious. Perhaps if their leaders werent constantly promoting publicly their plans to demolish it, and rebuild their temple ontop of it - the Iranians would welcome them in to pray. The problem, is that once again, Jews have been threatening Iran nonstop for decades and publishing publicly their plans to destroy Irans most holy site. In Law, a legitimate threat of attack, is in itself an assault and warrants a pre-emptive attack to defend ones self. For a much less powerful and equipped country like Iran, simply to refuse Israelis access into the Temple Mount or Dome of the Rock, to avoid them being provocative inside it and starting fights - is the very least that Iran could do. They have acted with immense restraint.
