It couldn't be because Palestinians have been backed into a corner at every opportunity by they occupiers, leaving them with one bad option as their only means of resistance. One that, to clarify, hasn't left power in Gaza since 2006 --- there hasn't been a free and open election in the last 18 years. It also couldn't be possible that most Palestinians didn't participate in the attack on October 7th. *_No._*

[@user-rp9jg3kw1d]

They emphasized that he is Jewish, but not that Nadia is an immigrant from an Arab country. *Wow, so many likes and comments, but nobody understood why I wrote it. The reason I emphasized her Arab/Muslim origin was to make people see that the Jews are being attacked and blamed mainly by Muslims and their supporters just for being Jews. I guess that Nadia and other pro Palestinians would never protest against Muslim countries or their citizens in which people are really getting murdered on purpose, not as casualties as happens in Gaza, but on purpose, such as in Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan etc. Their own Muslim leaders have murdered their own citizens! But it's easy to protest against Jews, who have only one Jewish country, and who are threatened daily for the past 100 years in Israel with terror attacks. Read some history!

Hamas should not be allowed to continue its rule in Gaza.

[@RolaElay]

[@ayubu3198]

It is important to have a good perspective. Hamas is terrible but Hamas is a product and a consequence of the Apartheid. As long as there is apartheid in Gaza and Palestine, the problem will continue to exist even without Hamas. However, how would behave Israel without Hamas? We know: in West-Bank in this year already hundreds of Palestinians has been killed. Since 2008, and before 8 Oct-2023, up to 6800 Palestinians were killed by Israel (data from OCHA: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs).

[@goodnessthentruth]

Israel was divided by Britain into two countries, one for Arabs, one for Jews. The Arabs got the bigger half but still left their homes to attack Israel with their 4 Arab neighbors. Israel won the war and took more land for protection. Arab countries kicked the Jews out or killed them, and also let the Palestinian refugees remain so Israel could look bad to the world. Gaza was self-ruling, and used all its money to create underground tunnels and little infrastructure. Gaza’s schools teach kids to hate Jews. Hamas was elected in a platform of destroying Israel. MEANWHILE, Arabs living in Israel have always been treated like full citizens🤔

The professor asked me what would I do to solve the conflict. I said if I had that answer I'd be teaching the class while sitting next to my Nobel Peace Prize. Right now, all I can see happening is a cease fire from both Israel and Hamas, release any hostages who are still alive, and go back to the negotiation table. Israel doesn't want a one state solution with Palestinians, the Palestinians don't want to share the territory with the Jews in a two state solution, and one of Hamas' key objectives in the destruction of Israel. It's also partially devolved into a proxy way between the US and Iran through military aid. The best solution now might be a truth and reconciliation process like South Africa did with UN Peacekeepers coming in like in Rwanda and former Yugoslavia. But they have to be willing to talk to each first. It's a mess.

Notice how he never acknowledged 75 years of illegal occupation

[@gilamoshayev8326]

There is no illegal occupation. It’s a lie. Israel has belonged to the Jews since biblical times. The so called Palestinians never owned Israel. Israel was renamed as Palestine to try and erase its history as the Jewish people’s homeland.

[@EricK-bw2mj]

The problem with these protests, or any protests for that matter, especially about complex issues is that we assume everybody has the same understanding on one side when in fact, we don't. If only people with an objective, deep understanding of the situation were protesting, the protests would be cordial, peacful, and merely a forum to debate. But when people who lack understanding and the ability to think critically, we get chaos, riots, and overall, unpeacful decorum.

Accepting that 34,000 innocent death is a "collateral damage" you should also accept too that some rogue protesters do not abide by rules of protesting.

[@edenhein]

feels completely annoying how these pro Pal. indirectly answer. the way she repeat "the Palestinian can understand that..." show how uneducated she is about what the Palestinian and Hamas (sorry, there is now differences between the two after Oct. 7th) actions against innocences, the way Palestinians with help from UNWRA promote hate education. she speak so nicely about human rights but take it from other people who don't speak like her. if any other foreign student would speak or act aggressive, the state would his Visa. but that time its all very sick

Where have you been? George Bush called the war on Iraq after 9/11 a crusade. That is a war on Islam. Same with the war on ISIS.
