    So when Israel was given it’s land via the Balfour treaty both sides were happy for a while. Yea some were pissed off but didn’t act out.

    Then when Israel got settled and comfy they decided to try to grab the rest of “their” land even though this broke the treaty.

    Since then the land grab has gotten blatant and they’ve created their own laws to justify it, to the point that even me saying this is seen as antisemitism even though it is totally truthful.

    Well done Israel, what did you think would happen.

    The ICC still want a word too!

    Apartheid is still alive.

      Yeah. Israel became a state because the white nations agreed while the brown nations didn’t.

      So we all know who got their way.

      The only people who should be surprised are those who thoughts this conflict would end there.

            Yeah, we should separate the citizens from the government. Unless there really is overwhelming support from the citizens for the actions of the government. I don’t know about that situation over there.

            That way, you can blame the Israeli government for the deaths of the citizen, singular?

            Yeah to an extent but the population support and enable their apartheid state, land grabbing and murderous policies. These are the consequences. I don’t want to see anyone dead but this isn’t a surprise and I stand with Palestine.

            Exactly. The victims are the Palestinian people and Israeli people who can’t stop those in charge from doing what they are doing. The vast majortiy of victims that disproportionately suffer more are Palestinians, a clear consequence of continued Israeli aggression and occupation, police-protected settler violence, and relentless land-grabbig. Israel put itself, it’s citizens, and all the Palestinians under the bus by committing apartheid.
