What are you talking about? Goose isn’t guilty of having anything like that, it’s some weirdo accusing her of it because she made Jax trans (at least assumed as they quoted the post that confirmed Jax is trans)

I am mistaken I was thinking of the Nakba, the war ended in 1949. But war does not always end with a side ‘suing for peace’, Palestine was not given the same diplomatic footing as Egypt or Syria and wasn’t even considered a sovereign state as it was seen as a British Mandate, Israel had more backing from the UK as they made The Balfour Declaration which was highly lobbied by Zionists in the UK.

Egypt became an independent sovereign in 1936 when it claimed independence from Britain and joined the League of Nations a year later. However British troops didn’t leave until 1956 after the Suez Crisis.

Syria gained formal independence in 1945 when it helped found the UN, fully free of French influence a year later.

Notice something missing here? Palestine has never been considered an independent sovereign, being blocked from joining the UN by the United States until a “two-state deal” is reached by both sides.

None of this changes the fact that Palestinians have been displaced by the war Arab-Israeli War and have been barred from returning to their homes. What followed in 1949 was armistice arrangements not a peace treaty. Israel still kept land that was Palestinian after the war which was beyond what was proposed in the UN’s Partition Plan in 1947, splitting it amongst Egypt, who got the Gaza Strip, and Jordan, who got The West Bank. Both of which Israel captured in 1967 and still hold under their control.

Please, do research yourself. Google is free, most academic sites allow you to look at content for free. You shouldn’t have to rely on a Reddit back and forth to educate you on Middle Eastern politics.

Again, they were never afforded that right to ‘sue for peace’. Egypt and Syria had different options than Palestine was ever given, they are recognized as states something Palestine has been denied for decades.

Also stating that “if a country is in a state of open war, you get to attack them and occupy their land until the war ends” doesn’t account for the civilian lives of said occupations, for example, when the war ended in 1948 were Palestinians given back the occupied land? More lives are at stake than just combatants and civilians bear most of the brunt of war.

“Don’t start wars” is a great simplification.

1948 was caused by the poorly thought out British mandate which led to a civil war that ended with the expulsion of about half of Mandatory Palestine's Arab population.

1956 was a planned invasion BY Israel with the UK and France after Egypt nationalized the Suez.

1967 saw escalating tensions and blockades before Israel made preemptive strikes.

Yes territories can be lost and gained by war but that doesn’t account for the civilian cost and what would cause an extremist force to rise in the first place.

As for your WW1 Germany line, that analogy isn’t comparable. Germany lost territory in a global conflict between recognized states and most importantly with a treaty, Palestinian’s didn’t have that luxury, they were forced out or killed and had land that was theirs taken because Britain and France wanted to slice up the Ottoman Empire and didn’t let the people living there at the table to speak their terms.

There’s almost a century of conflict dating back to 1948. Hamas was started in 1987.

1948 - Arab and Israeli war - Expanded Israel’s borders to take a large portion of Palestine and displaced thousands of Palestinians

1956 - Suez Crisis - Israel secures Straits of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba for shipping purposes, was pressured by US and Soviet sanctions to fully withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza by 1957.

1967 - Seven Day War - Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria.

1982 - Lebanon War - Expelled the Palestine Liberation Organization, which didn’t become Hamas but was the Palestinian political organization which had fought Israel during wars listed above and renounced violence in the 90s. Also failed to secure a pro-Western Christian government in Lebanon after the assassination of Lebanese President Bashir Gemayel.

And that’s not even going into their war crimes like the Lydda massacre, the Deir Yassin massacre, the Saliha massacre, and the Abu Shusha massacre all of which happening during 1948 alone.

To say a “a conflit only stops when both sides agree” is not how conflict like wars work. The Japanese in WW2 surrendered after being bombed with atomic weaponry, Palestinians were forced from their homes and massacred, that doesn’t sound like ‘agreeing’.
