    You do know Israelis and Palestinians look the same, right. The only actual difference the two sides have is one follow Mohammed’s version of Christian / Abrahamic religion and the other follows the old Abrahamic religion. Basically the same difference between Christianity and Judaism. They have more in common than they have different, but each side has been groomed to hate the other. That is why religious wars are so fucking stupid. Your killing women and child over nothing. Your fighting because you have been trying to suppress the other.

    They are the same people and the hardliners from both sides are to blame. Arrest them all and sign a peace treaty allowing for everyone to worship however they want, free from hate and violence.

      I get these are heated times, but my comment was more along the lines of "Republicans support the Israelis because Palestinians will die (brown people), and do not support Ukraine because Russians will die (white people).

      Yes, but the evangelicals need Israel run by Jews because otherwise Jesus won’t return. After Jesus comes back, they think Jesus will toss all Jews into hell. Therefore, they are willing to delay their bigotry when it comes to Israel.

      They don’t have a similar need for Palestinians (or others of Arab descent) so the right is fine with killing all those brown people.

      Only one group in the Israel/Palestine conflict is fighting a religious war, and it’s Hamas. Hamas seized power specifically to fight a religious war, because they thought the existing Palestinian government was too secular (and then blamed that secularism on a worldwide Jewish conspiracy).

      This is all in Hamas’s charter, if you don’t believe me.

      Israeli Arabs have full citizenship and freedom of religion

        Nobody posting here seems to care about the truth. They’d rather believe Israel is bad and Palestine is good, rather than take any time at all to learn the actual history and nuance of the situation. I doubt anyone here understands that the reason 20% of the Israeli citizenry are Arab is because their ancestors ignored Arab League propaganda, didn’t flee, and didn’t have their land stolen. Israel certainly needs to have a constitutional government that protects Arab Israelis from the vagaries of the volatile political process, and be as firm about seeking peace as they are about responding to terror attacks, but the ahistorical Palestinian propaganda successes amongst so-called liberals is disheartening. Neither side has clean hands, but the Palestinians are as much victims of their own leadership as any actions of Israel. EDIT: I recently heard a BBC World Service reporter talk about “Israeli Palestinians” and I was very surprised, as most of the Israeli Arabs I know absolutely DO NOT identify as Palestinians unless they’re also Muslim. Ethnically Christian Arab Israelis tend to have a much more complex view of the Palestinian situation, and absolutely zero interest in being part of a Palestinian state because they know they’d be a often-persecuted minority.
