The only victim of Iran's attack was a Palestinian man in Jericho. Kinda ironic.

Not as outrageous as being pro genocide. The Palestinians are 100% Semitic and have the DNA to prove it. White racist Zionist Israelis have little to no Semitic DNA. If anyone is antisemitic it’s Israel.

“Colonial settler project.” Let’s lay down some some key facts: A) countless archeological sites and discoveries in the region prove time and time again that Jews have lived in the region for thousands of years and that Israel has existed in that area in the past. B) many families have lived in the region for generations even before the modern state of Israel was established. C) demographics wise, it’s a near 50/50 split between those of “European descent” and those from Africa and the Middle East. Their is no colonialism except in their fake claims. She claims that they are working to stop a genocide but in reality she’s supporting the genocide/ethnic cleansing of Jews living in Israel

Pro-palestinian is not pro-hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Palestinians are not. A person who supports the two state solution is simultaneously pro-israel and pro-palestinian because both are central to achieve a lasting peace. But there is no such thing as pro-israel and pro-hamas because Israel and Hamas are for the extermination of each other. Having said all these it is inappropriate and self defeating for pro-palestinians to protest on Oct 7. It makes them look like they are pro-hamas instead of pro-palestinians. Hate will not get you peace. Associate with Hamas and your support evaporates.

"There is no such thing as a state's right to exist." Stated by this person in reference to Israel, apparently while also demanding the right for a free Palestinian state. People who associate with identified terrorist groups are a danger that should not be allowed to harm the moral fiber of this country. It's one thing to be pro-Palestinian but another completely to uphold the tenets of terrorism.

"Designed to achieve the Palestinian people's liberation." Smooth. How did that pan out for them? Was the cost worth it? If the war halted tomorrow (and perhaps it should) and everyone went back to minding their own business... where do you think Palestine would sit? Among the broken ruins of what it previously did have rights to. So one step forward, 1000 steps back is the way of liberation?

[@succatash]

@silkcitysocialist420 Palestinans are tried in military courts cause their under occupation and its illegal to have civilian rule over an occupied people. Please understand the basics. l I'm glad you think Palestinans don't deserve a piece of territory cause of their ethnicity or religion. Israel is a Democracy because it's a country of varying viewpoints, cultures and religions all with a say in how the country is run. Islamists and Haredi Jews vote together on particular policies. African immigrants, Druze, Bedouins, Secular, Muslim, Haredi, Palestinan Arab all fighting in Gaza and Lebanon to uphold the freedoms and democracy they are entitled to as Israeli citizens. Its a democracy cause everyone has the freedom to pursue what they want and vote how they want. Unlike in Lebanon where Palestinans live as 3rd class citizens in apartheid.

West Bank was retained for Jerusalem, the historic capital of ancient Judea... the Jordanians, who previously controlled West Bank under the UN charter, are civil (not military) ALLIES of Israel; they're not bothered, why should YOU be? The West Bank was part of the Palestine region, but Palestine has NEVER BEEN AN ACTUAL COUNTRY! Egypt was offered Gaza AND REFUSED TO TAKE IT BACK. Golan Heights were used by Syria to bombard Israel until 1967, when they were annexed by Israel for defensive reasons. Syria are still not friendly. Your arguments are facile, ignore relevant facts and ignore political and geographical realities.
