Why do they have blood on their hands? What about Hamas that organized the rabble to rush and attempt to breach the border?

Antifa punching Nazi's is bad because it's common assault (note: Nazi scum are just as bad and undesirable as Antifa scum).
Whereas Israeli soldiers are defending their citizens against a violent enemy that has vowed to bring about the complete destruction of Israel.Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

They operate the world's largest open-air prison and then gun down the inmates when they protest. Should I love them for that?

But obviously, yes, several wars were fought against Israel. The Palestinians were kind of fighting against an existential threat, which they lost. And now Israel treats the remainder as second class citizens in an apartheid regime when it doesn't have them locked in high-density squalor behind a literal wall that it mostly doesn't let them out of, and guns them down if they protest too much."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Originally posted by Starlight View PostAFAIK any such threats were made >40 years ago. Can you cite any examples of major existential threats to Israel in the last few decades?Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

Originally posted by Raphael View Postoh, I don't know, the DAILY MISSILE ATTACKS for one.
P.S. I'm not trying to absolve the Palestinians of any wrongdoing. My view is that all sides in the conflict over the last 70+ years have acted atrociously at times (including and especially the British who decided it would be a great idea to plonk their unwanted Jews down in the middle of Arab territories and displace the existing peoples and cause the problem in the first place). It's however the case that at the present point in time, Israel has more power in the situation, and so it is able to commit atrocities at a higher rate than than Palestinians and appears to be choosing to do so. My view is that we have a moral obligation to support the powerless when they are being picked on by the powerful. That is not at all to imply that the Palestinians are historically innocent (though of course their kids / young adults today are arguably entirely innocent). Any solutions to the problem are complex. But the greater responsibility always lies with the group who is more powerful in any situation and the morality of their actions needs to be examined more closely than the powerless group.Last edited by Starlight; 05-14-2018, 10:05 PM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
