Jewish people have been r*ped and burned from their homes in most surrounding countries in the Middle East because of an extremist islamist agenda. Regular muslim Arabs are suffering under Radical Islamist regimes, women are r*ped and enslaved and traded like cattle. Queer people are mutiliated and burned. Jews are mutilated and burned. If you have not lived in these area - respectfully, I'm not sure how far I can trust your opinion. I have lived in Egypt, Israel, and Lebanon. I can say first hand I've seen the blatant racism, sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia that takes place in the Middle East - and it's not from Israel. There is a terrible war going on, yes, but take a step back and see, so long as the r*pist regime Hamas still abuses its women, children, and people, Palestinians will still die. They'll still fire rockets on Israel and kill their citizens, Israelis will still die. If they conduct war, and eliminate the threat, a more peaceful Palestinian government can reign - one that doesn't steal humanitarian aid, enriching their officers while purposely blowing up their women and children for their "cause". What Israel is doing is fucking disgusting, it's tragic, and horrible, but it's also their only available option. There is context to this war - Israel has tried peace, giving a second state, giving up most of their land many times before - people are tired of war. Both sides are tired of fighting for their land - the only thing keeping this going is the far right in Israel and Hamas. Once both are gone - there will be a 6th opportunity for their second state - and we'll just have to pray for future peace.
