Yes, Israel has continued to steal West Bank land, and if not target civilians, then at least wantonly disregard civilian collateral damage. And it's evil. But let's not forget the full scale attacks on Isreal, the suicide bombings, the border attacks, the October attack and the continuous rocket fire at Isreal lately. Both sides have kept this going; it's just that Israel has the capability now to do more damage and is apparently no longer worried about it's international reputation.
Oh shut up. The Palestinians aren’t doing attacks for fun and they don’t have the backing for some kind of proper warfare with the Israelis to get them off their land. It’s not a mattee of opinion; they were their first and people from other countries without the right to do so told the people who would become the Israelis of today that it was totally cool for them to show up there. There was literally video of some guy from the fucking Bronx taking part in stealing a Palestinian family’s home, it’s fucking crazy what’s happening there.
It’d be like if I sent a bunch of people with guns to your house because I promised someone else you don’t even know that they could have it. And then, if you did anything in protest I beat the shit out you and shot your dog.
Yes, it's like that and it's horrible. It's like Europeans taking over North America. It's like countless other wars of conquest. In the end, Israel isn't going anywhere; surely you know that? We can try to pressure them to take care of the (most recent) indigenous population, but if you say they can't protect themselves or secure their population's safety, they will necessarily ignore you. Pick your battles.
You are defending the bombing of schools and hospitals.
