Sad thing is they 100 believe their narrative. They can't see Palestinians as people. They will do anything to maintain what they have stolen. The believe God gave them the land originally. And the international arms industry, USA and allies make money and run their political campaigns using this money. Those with power write history and claim to be the leaders of democracy and freedom.

Come on Europe, we need to be better than that! We must make a stand for justice, against the occupation and beyond the oppression of the Palestinian people for decades. Standing for justice is in Israel's long term interest.

[@sbgrimsson]

François-Xavier Bellamy is BS-ing here! "The right to self-defense can be invoked when a state is threatened by another state which is not the case, Israel does not claim that is has been threatened by another state. It’s been threatened by an armed group. Qualify it the way you want, but it’s an armed group within the occupied territory. And frankly, even saying „the war between Gaza and Israel“ is wrong because Gaza is not a standalone entity. It’s part of the occupied territory. But so, in particular, Israel cannot claim the right of self-defense against a threat that emanate from the territory it occupies from a territory that is kept under belligerent occupation." -- Francesca Albanese, international lawyer and academic and Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories.

Historical context, It started in 1948 when 5 Arab countries simultaneously attacked Israel because they felt they could eliminate the Jews through a genocide. Those Arab countries told the Arabs living in the area (newly created Israel) to leave. The term, “ Nakba” referred to the spectacular failure of the Arab military’s to the tiny fledgling nation.

[@infiniti28160]

The laugh he displays make his malicious intent palpable.

[@davidpierregrekinrosenblit1185]

This woman is clearly angry. She really believes in what she says, even if she is wrong. The Arab Islamic conflict with the Jews began during the Ottoman Empire. And it has had several historic moments, disastrous for both. She proposes that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict arose with the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. And that is not actually the case. The Israeli Palestinian conflict arose with the creation of the PLO, in 1964, by Arafat and the Arab League, and worsened after the 6-day war, around 1967. We can analyze the conflict from historical facts, but It would not be correct to say that there has never been a State for the Palestinian Arabs, in fact there is a state for the Palestinian people today, and it is called Jordan. 80% of the British Mandate territory was handed over to the Palestinian Arabs in 1921 by the English and became independent as a state in 1946, with a Hashemite monarchy imported from Saudi Arabia, two years before Israel. Therefore, there is a discrepancy in that narrative. And that would matter if we were in a legal trial over sovereign territory. We are not in a legal trial, and the conflict is not actually about a piece of land to create another Palestinian Arab state, but rather it is about a part of the Palestinian Arabs claiming and believing they have the right to destroy Israel and assassinate to all the Jews. And that is certainly a conflict, since the Isrealies believe they have the right to exist and defend themselves. Well, does public opinion matter on this issue, certainly not. Those who want the destruction of Israel, and those who defend the existence of Israel, are not going to change their minds, because it is not a matter of who is right or wrong, or what the truth is and who is guilty of what. It becomes on the one hand a holy war against Israel, and on the other a war for Israel's survival.

[@micixduda]

I thought Arafat was an atheist.

[@cobra8888]

Of course she is angry when people, like you, write a copy pasted bad history about a region you are not from. Arafat member of PLO in 1964? What else….Tom and Jerry were members of congress? Tell your Hasbara teacher to update your info.
