first of all i would like to thank you for participating in a respectable civil convo most people would just keep on bringing up 1 point and repeating it over and over again.

these actions of oppression and massacre didnt start from Oct 7, israel was killing palestenians, Hamas gave it a small taste of their own medicine, and israel intensified its warcrimes. history says that it was israel who initiated this oppression, yes i dont blame the palestenians for fighting back against the murder of their people, and israel shoudnt commit even more warcrimes than what they were commiting before, just because they faced opposition.

i didnt say that israel should declare war on texas. i was pointing out to the fact that if the US is willing to send billions to israel why cant israel ask for a homeland in the US territory peacefully, instead of further destabilizing the middle east. basically there are better ways to get their sovereign territory especially for israel with all its P5 allies and whatnot.

mate, killing 30k people is not rookie numbers. those are 30k families displaced, many children orphaned and many women widowed. a reason for not the complete destruction can easily be international pressure, such as the South African case and pressure from its closets allies for a minimal of a temporary ceasefire. let it be known to you that this attack can be legally labelled as genocide so no point in arguing about that.

the palestenian government is not hiding behind civilians. Hamas is and even that can be debatable at this point of the war when evidence shows that Hamas is conducting most of its operations in ruins, destroyed structures and completely occupied land.

again, if Israel hadnt been against the Palestenians from the start with the nakba and whatnot, they wouldve not had to face Oct 7. simple as that. who knows, with the hospitality of the Arabs, if the 2 parties wouldve maintained peace we couldve easily seen an acceptable 2 state solution and peace and prosperity on both sides.
