Were it not for the Iron Dome thousands would have been killed & maimed. They just underestimated IDF's ferocious response. For good of both Israelis & Palestinians, HAMAS MUST BE ERRADICATED ONCE AND FOR ALL.

      My response to the biblical argument is that in order for it to be a credible narrative an Israeli who is either unobservant or agnostic or atheist should be stripped out of their Israeli nationality and the citizenship should be given instead to converts to Judaism from all racial backgrounds who are non evaluated based on ethnic criteria.
      Otherwise, it’s a clear case of the citizenship given based on ethnicity and the biblical narrative goes out of the window

      2. Just because Palestinian artillery sucks, doesn't mean , Israel shouldn't retaliate. If Israel didn't have the iron dome or shelters, the number of casualties on the Israeli side would be catastrophic. The fact is that Israel does have casualties (doesn't matter how much lower it is) and the whole nation is basically living in shelters currently. Any citizen would expect their government to strike and defend their citizens. That is the duty of the military.
      Hamas don't care who they hit. The fact that Hamas invests all what they have into rockets and terrorism instead of infrastructure or bomb shelters should tell you smth about the ppl that rule the Gaza strip.

    It's amazing to me that you were able to talk about this for 12 minutes and failed to mention that the driving force behind this "conflict" is undeniably Israel as they are the occupying force. All other factors become basically irrelevant as long as one side is forcefully keeping a civillian population in an open air prison, is denying them basic human rights and necessities and enacts their cruel will over them with impunity. As long as this decades old injustice is not remedied, any fight back by the palestinians is resistence to an oppressive regime, not an aggression on their part.
    (That does not mean that civiallian deaths among the Israeli populaion aren't a tragedy, but the one who ultimately bears systematic responsibility for all this death is Israel)

      I don't know if the iron dome would work for palestinians since I think it's supposed to work against rockets and missiles. I'm not an expert but I don't think that's what the israelis use, so maybe it wouldn't work for the palestinians. But however it is achieved, they must be protected and should have the support of the international community!

    This hasn't been going on for centuries.

    Settlements only began picking up in the 20th century.
    Pretending this is some kind of ancient conflict is often disingenuously used to obscure the initial betrayal of the Arabs by the british in the Sykes-Picot accord.
    They then went on to completely mismanage the situation in favor of the zionists, because the zionists were generally speaking Europeans, so there was much less of a cultural barrier in their negotiations.
    The Arabs, on the other just kept getting shafted by old British colonial policies, which as an Irishman, I've heard plenty about.
    It was at the same time that they were sending their ptsd'd black and tan troops over here to protect their colonial holding, at great cost to the people who live here.

    Correction, in modern law the bible is not a valid legal document that can be used to validate any claim for land or any other property whatsoever. Gods do not exist, and therefore no single human can claim such a thing as promised land or whatever based on the premises that magical creatures actually exist. Show me the signed legal contract that proves that any type of magical creature promised anything at all to any person at all. And a book written by people is not a legal signed contract. I can also write a book in which the stories make all kind of absurd claims, such as that I am the great leader of the world.
    Another thing is that the Israeli's, or at least the majority of them, who live in Israel as we speak, are descendants from the people who were kicked out of Jerusalem centuries ago only to end up in Europe. These descendants never had a first hand historical connection with Israel at all. Their ancestors were not even welcome in Jerusalem, otherwise they would not have been kicked out of Jerusalem to begin with.
    Forget religion, forget the bible, as a world community we must look at international laws and agreements and the universal declaration of human rights. And Israel doesn't care about any of that. They violate every law that they like. And that is the one and only real problem.
    You can believe in every fairy tale that you want, but that doesn't give you the right to violate international laws, and agreements, and the universal declaration of human rights.

    this is quite honestly , the least "complex" conflict in existence
    1- israel stole lands from the palestenaisns in 1948 to establish what is now called isreal .
    2- they expelled over 700000 palestenians from their towns and villages .
    3- in 1967 there was a war between arabs and israel to retrieve those stollen lands which israel won and stole even more land , and right now israel has full control over all historic palestine and occupies the west bank and gaza which legally belong to palestine under international law that allowed israel to exist in the first place .
    4-israel is establishing settlements in the occupied territories which leaves little place for palestenians to live and has full control over electricity and water in the occupied territories of palestine .
    5- israel established a full land , air and sea blockade over the strip of the gaza strip and israeli officials also controls the food , medicin and building material that can enter the gaza strip .
    6- youd think that hamas instigates a conflict with israel but youd be quite surprised to find out israel starts every other conflict with hamas in the past .
    7- israel tried to occupie south lbenanon in 2006 which ended up failing miserably , and continues to kick out what little palestenians left in east Jerusalem which is an occupied terrotory under international law .
    8- israel currently illegally occupies the golan hights in syria .
    9- in 1967 during the six day war , isreal committed a false flag attack against the united states by attacking the U.S.S liberty ship where they burned american marines alive in effort to fool americans intro thinking it was egypt , which israel was in war with at the time and was trying to take over sina in hopes of controlling the suez canal .
    10 - in 2018 the people of gaza organized what is called "march of return" where they march against the border of isreal (which israel controls and illegally occupies land that belong to gaza) completely unarmed , israel shot over 7000 palestenians , killing over 200 , including women and children , also shooting and killing journalists , medics and a nurse , all were wearing marked vests , the nurse name was razan al najjar was trying to attend to a recently shot man and was wearing her white medic outfit and had her hands in the air , was shot in the chest and died immediately , isreal claim she was sent by hamas to make die and make israel look bad (that was an official statement by the IDF) .
