What exactly is your definition of legitimate?
I'm fron Germany and have never bought anything there. There tax evation strategy is disgusting. They use our roads, our people, our country and pay close to 0 taxes in Luxembourg or Panama with money earned in Germany.
As I said: Neither you nor me are the ones who will classify whether it is a genocide or not. Feel free to use the word. I won't for now...
It's interesthing how both sides think, I'm at least partially against them.....
"Jesus. You're a lost cause"
I assume, you don't want to tell me what's wrong with the quote of me? I re-read it 4 times... You could argue against "don't want to negotiate", because they might have to do so during this conflict... But the main goal that Hamas defined is the destruction of Israel... How do you want to negotiate the bigger picture of this conflict with them? "ok, destroy us, but only 49% of our area"?
Hamas has constantly advocated for the total destruction of Israel. That's their main goal. I think, your view is that Netanyahu wants to conquer all the Palestine area? They want something similar. They want to conquer all the Israel area...
Hamas did not even attack the Israeli government last year. They attacked pretty much only civilians.
What do you call that? You use the crazy words (facist, apartheid, genocide, Hitler, ...) quickly, but don't agree that Hamas is a terror organization??? Seriously???
Hamas is a pain in the ass for Israel and also for the people in Gaza. They use their own people as human shields. They don't even want to negotiate. They want to destroy Israel.
My view: Hamas in power is a guarantee that this will go on for many more decades.
Just curious because you wrote "dispassionate observer"... Do you think that you can put yourself in the place of both sides? Can you understand why Israel didn't just stand still after the massacre last year? Can you understand that they would like to solve the Hamas problem once and for all (the HOW is of course always debatable) to not get attacked again?
Do you want to challenge your beliefs?
Compared with others here, I think, I can actually understand the dilemma on both sides.
I hope, that Hamas loses power first and then Netanyahu. I think, this is the only way that can lead to peace in that region in the future. Otherwise, this will continue for even more decades. Hamas' main motto is still the total destruction of Israel. And Netanyahu's seddling strategy is also terrible if you want a solution.
But what's your idea to solve this? It's a complex conflict that is happening for decades and you and others act like it's easy to solve it... If the terror organization Hamas keeps power, you can already put an event into your calendar when the next rockets will hit Israel.... With other words: What's YOUR strategy to get rid of Hamas?
You wrote or copy-pasted a lot of stuff, but...
the first part is not about concentration camps.
the 2nd one is about terrible discrimination, not about what I wrote.
and the 3rd part is about a 2.000 years old book. Really? Some chapters in there probably explain in detail how many goats or sheep we need to exchange to solve a conflict.....
I'm not sure, what you are trying to do... But if you really want to think that Netanyahu is pretty much Hitler and that it can't be any worse, feel free to do so... I won't stop you. I have a different opinion.
BTW: I don't think, anyone uses spirituality to justify what's happening in Gaza. They usually use the massacre in Isarel of last year as justification.
Imagine, Netanyahu would actually build concentration camps or declare to kill all palestinians or explain that Jewish people are surpirior because of their blood and then conquer the whole middle east region?
I mean... Who do you compare him with in that case? You have already used the Hitler comparison, which is already a 100/100 on the "very bad person" ladder......
I want a clip of everyone talking at the same time...
I like that USA is now talking about their own person instead of giving the orange one all the attention
I'm just differentiating between facts and accusations.
The status quo is that there are states accusing Israel of comitting a genocide.
What's interesting: I think, I have a somehow similar opinion about the brutality happening in Gaza and that there must be a plan to end this as soon as possible. But just because I don't use an emotion driven buzz word, people tell me to fuck off or shut up.....
Originally, I did not want to write this, but..... What's somehow ironic: I'm probably talking to people here whose own current and future government (does not matter whether Biden, Trump or Harris) states clearly that it's NOT a genocide. So, my "let's wait for the experts to classify it" view is not even as crazy as to the one of their government. But yeah... I don't know where you are from... So, this is an accusation, too.
But whatever... I'll keep describing what's happening in Gaza without using that word, as long a it's only a Genocide accusation.
Well, you get a weapon without proving that you got the skills to use it... So, this does not surprise me.....
