    Sigh I hate getting into it on social media, but this is just blatantly untrue.

    Hamas has shown just how brutal they are willing to be the past few days and they explicitly have in their charter the destruction of Israel. Hamas given the chance would absolutely ethically cleanse all of the Levant of Jews. The PLO has a martyr fund for dying while killing Israelis. Israel not fighting would absolutely lead to complete destruction.

    On the other hand, if Israel wanted to, it could completely wipe out any and all Palestinian areas. Palestine has no real air force, navy, or artillery and wouldn’t be able to stop them. The only reason Israel hasn’t done so is they have decided not to.

    This isn’t commentary on the entire conflict or the history or who is right/wrong. I’m just pointing out that this is factually incorrect.

      Correct, the situation is much more nuanced than a simple sign could say. Both sides have rights and very wrongs about them. The only thing that should really be on signs should be “both sides should stop the violence and talk it through”, but we all know about how well that would go. Still, star trek taught me that should be the goal.

        “both sides should stop the violence and talk it through”

        Hard to have a sit-down talk when one side (Palestine) outright says their goal is to kill all Jews and Christians.

            Way to comment on something from over a year ago. And no nobody lied to me. I read the manifesto that Hamas publicly published.

    It’s true for both sides as they both can’t tolerate one another.

    I see no possible solution without a third power establishing a wide ass DMZ between the two and make sure the zone fucks over both equally. Ideally they’ll stop hating each other and focus on the DMZ being ass. Might give us relative peace for like a decade or two.

      Those territories are so small that a dmz might just be the entire area…

        Exactly, surely both will hate it. Classic parenting, if you can’t play nice no one can have it, puts toy on shelf. The really expensive part is building the infrastructure needed on the little space left to house all the people displaced. But hey work for a shit ton of people

    Just fucking leave each other be, go fight it out in CSGO or something. Wars are fucking stupid and pointless.

    The best way to end war is to put the people who declare war on the front lines.

    Very true, the creation of israel has been catastrophic for Palestinians. The British and Theodore Herzl should be blamed for this mess.

    Very disturbing that more than a few people are dumb enough to believe this.

    Why would you not censor the face if you change the literal content of the sign?

    Yeah cause the whole middle east isn’t singing “from the mountains to the sea” and talking about shoving Jews into the Mediterranean Sea.

    Does it hurt being dumb?
