    the people in Gaza did nothing wrong, and so did the Jews. can’t we just disband Hamas and give Gaza under UN control until we figure out a long term solution, Israel may not like that, but do they really want a stronger version of Hamas to form like that happened in lebadon.

        random israelis have as much of a right to live there as palestinians do (and vice versa), it’s not written on the land that jewish/arabic/literally whatever else people should be banned from ever living there

        the issue is that the israeli government seems to disagree, especially the genocidal maniacs from likud, especially netanyahu

        Some were just born there. Idk if visiting the sins of ancestors on children clever. Defs needs to be some sort of reconciliation process and evening the wealth and land held by all who live there.

        Nfi how this will happen. Truthtelling and reconciliation is barely happening in other colonial nations with significantly less oppression and hatred towards the native people :(

      We’ll also need to oust the current Israeli government and ban Netanyahu from being re-elected. This is all at least as much his fault as it is Hamas’s, he’s been building it for decades, and if he is allowed to retain office, he’ll just do it again.

    • If I broke into your house and claimed the top floor, would you be ok with the whole thing being enforced by the police, until “we figure out a (new and more favorable to me) long term solution”? I highly doubt it.

      We already have a long term solution. Specifically a two state solution where Israel gives back the land it illegally stole. Its just that Israel has no intention of following international law.

      I would encourage you to read the history of the conflict going back to Mandatory Palestine. Gaza was not made into what it is on day one. Many attempts have been made for both secular unification, and peaceful partition, and it has generally been the Arab population which have rejected these plans, even when given significant majority power over the legislature in the original Palestine plan. They refused a 60% guaranteed Islamic majority because it would have 20% guaranteed Jewish representation.

      Obviously the modern day Palestinians had no say in that, and every new generation of innocents is absolutely justified in their radicalization. But make no mistake the role religion has played in sustaining this conflict.

      ‘Just disband hamas’ - this war has actually made them much more popular among palestinians. source

      Most palestinians think hamas was justified in the oct 7 attack and 44% support them in their goal to eradicate israel.
