Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Group B is unrelated so the whole thing is unrelated.

I'm not proposing to remove all blame from Israel. But its actions are within adequate frame, and it can be investigated and held accountable. This never applies to Palestinians, they won't be prosecuted and will proceed with terrorism if not stopped.

Group B fired missles that killed innocent civilians in both scenarios. Proposing they are unrelated removed all blame from them.

Also, when was the last time any resolution at the UN security council has passed and held Israel accountable? Seems like the whole region has avoided any formal accountability, both Hamas and Israel.

Whatever the UN did wrong, it doesn't mean Israel can be treated like terrorists.

This is not what's happening.

All the suffering of Palestinians are the result of electing hamas and its actions.

Hamas can stop the suffering immediately by surrendering and releasing hostages.

This is not what's happening.

All the suffering of the Israelis are the result of electing Likud and its actions.

Likud can stop the suffering immediately by surrendering and returning the stolen land.

In what world would either of those things happen?

In a world where a person stabbing themselves with a knife can realize they are only hurting themselves by proceeding, and stop until it's too late. A knife will not stop until the person stabbing themselves with it stops.

As for your take on my words, it's laughable. Describe me a world where a group of people do nothing but build swords, them use them to defeat another group who has guns, then "unsteal" the land they refuse to live without, successfully.
