    they are right. gaza is an apartheid state. all power to the palestinians

    Isreal has a blockade of goods into gaza, determining which goods go in and which do not. Israel determines the amount of food that can enter Gaza, and in leaked documents has been found saying they “need to put palestinians on a diet”, reducing the amount of food entering an already poverty-stricken region.

    Israel controls the electricity that flows into Gaza, and they regularly bomb the one power-plant that exists in Gaza.

    All power to Palestinian liberation

      Murdering civilians is never a proper answer to any historical injustice

        The only proper way to solve any conflict is to get two teams of moral philosophers to discuss the issue until an agreement can be reached.

        Anyway, we live in the real world, so yeah those civvies are gonna get it.

        ESH. Israel is committing what is described above (war crimes), and Palestine is retaliating by committing war crimes.

          This is how it has been between these two as long as I can remember :( I don’t see a good way out at this point for either side. They have such a fucked up and complex history.

        No civilians were murdered, only soldiers and settlers and in self defense.

      The reason Israel’s actions are despicable here is because they are targeting civilians. Attacks on civilians cannot be condoned. Unfortunately Palestine is guilty of this too.

        They are as bad as each other. Israel’s policy toward the Palestinians is deplorable. Hamas’ approach towards the citizens of Israel is abhorrent.

        There are no winners. Only dead children.

    To be honest, they are right. I’m not condoning Hamas, but we could have had peace if the Israel conservative party was so hell bent in pushing an antisemitism against Palestine for so many years.

        Oh for sure, they definitely have their own agendas and are taking advantage of the situation to try and advance it, but that doesn’t make it any less true

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran appeared to back Hamas in its escalating conflict with Israel on Saturday.

    The Palestinian militant group launched a mass attack on Israeli forces and settlements, killing at least 100 people in Israel and about 200 in Gaza early Saturday.

    While leaders in the U.S. and Europe quickly denounced the attack and gave support for Israel, the three Middle Eastern nations criticized the country over its treatment of Palestinians.

    “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is closely following the developments of the unprecedented situation between a number of Palestinian factions and the Israeli occupation forces, which has resulted in a high level of violence on several fronts there,” the country’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the conflict a “war” in a public address early Saturday.

    The U.S. has vowed to support Israel, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin saying the government will ensure the country “has what it needs to defend itself.”


    The original article contains 425 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 61%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    When Palestinians protest peacefully, no one listens, nothing changes, and they get killed by Israeli forces.

    When people in the US have tried to support Palestinians by boycotting Israeli products and divesting institutions of Israeli investments, lawmakers have passed laws banning such boycotts.

    When Palestinians protest violently, they get bombed and killed at a much faster rate by Israeli forces.

    Israel will almost certainly kill at least 10x as many civilians in their campaign than Hamas militants did; Israel’s foreign minister has already said that Israel is going to end up killing civilians unintentionally (“unintentionally”), and that the world needs to cut them slack in advance. The US will continue to support Israel, both because evangelicals believe Jews need to control Jerusalem in order for Jesus to return (“return”), and because recognizing the apartheid nature of Israel would condemn our own treatment of Native Americans.

    I mean that might be true but terrorist-supporters like the Saudis aren’t the ones who should be saying it.

    Saudi didn’t say that. The other two are the ones who funded the attack so I’m not sure why anyone would listen to terrorists.

    The Saudis are about to fuck the Palestinians as bad as the Israelis are, just diplomatically instead of with air raids.
