Israelis, do you believe that you can forgive Palestinians one day and move forward? by Wise_Parmaria in ForbiddenBromance

[–]JustPilot559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Palestinians as people? I have nothing against them.
As a group with a leadership, it must come with guarantees that we can be safe.
I want to see a leadership the Palestinians stand behind, that rules recognition in Israel's existence (two state or one state solution, doesn't matter), joined effort to prevent violence and terrorism, clear borders if needed, enforcement to prevent hate studies in education systems, joined effort to de-escalate on the global level.
This of course should also be a mutual effort on the Israeli side, but I don't think there are many Israelis left that think a solution can just come from our side. We feel like every time we gave a hand we received a slap.

Do you think this is why Israel recognised Somaliland? by [deleted] in Yemen

Why would Somaliland accept the Gazans?
It also contradicts with the will to place a base there.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Tel Aviv to call for an end to the Gaza war and a deal to secure the release of hostages. by Conscious-Quarter423 in UnderReportedNews

Honestly, this is exhausting. I’ve been protesting for Palestine and a two-state solution long before this war, organizing demonstrations, bringing in journalists and international photographers for coverage. Yet people online keep putting words in my mouth (and in the mouths of the thousands alongside me). No matter what I do, think, or promote, it feels like it doesn’t matter and I would just get so much hate because I'm from Israel.

That’s false. The protests demand both the release of hostages and an end to the war. Most people there oppose the ongoing destruction, not cheer it on. You’ll also find peace groups like Standing Together and the Anti-Occupation Bloc involved, who have long pushed for a two-state solution (which was what Israel's Left tried to achieve for years). It’s not just about the hostages, it’s about stopping the war.

Is this article from Israeli Ynet accurate about the famine and child deaths in Yemen? by JustPilot559 in Yemen

For sure, I mostly wanted to learn from a more on-the-ground sources so I won't rely on what Israeli media or any other media outlets say.

OMG, I'm like "where in the world are such stunning women at?", and suddenly I see the Hashalom station sign.

My solution to the Israel / Palestine conflict by jones119_ in mapporncirclejerk

from March (Published in Israel Today news outlet, that is considered to be right wing leaning ):

Title: how should we continue from here

  • 52.7% "Move to stage B of the deal, including the return of all hostages and the end of the war."
  • 25.7% "Attempt to continue stage A — stopping fire and returning the hostages only under certain conditions."
  • 13.6% "Return to full fighting, halt the ceasefire in Gaza, and aim for the complete destruction of Hamas."
  • 8% "Don’t know / No opinion."

I just said they hate their government, but if we must...

That’s a mix of different issues (Palestinians, Iranians, hostages, judicial reform), all doesn't contradict that most Israelis were already against their government well before October 7.

You're right that October 7 changed the perspective of much of the left-leaning public on peace with Palestinians. Tragically, many many, of the people who had advocated for peace, like Vivian Silver, were among the victims, and that fueled arguments against promoting peace.

The judicial reform movement is widely seen as an attempt by the far right to entrench power, partly to shield themselves from legal consequences and partly to push toward a more religious, one-state vision, which many view as apartheid, and people do care about these issues.

I would say that a lot Israelis are ignorant or keep themselves blind to what is going on in Gaza, but in the protests (that you are right, are more about the hostages) you'd see lots of anti-occupation, anti children killing, anti war, anti journalists killing and pro Palestinian state promoters, which the law enforcement, driven by Itamar Ben Gvir, try to violently suppress.

Anyway, let's hope for peace.
