I agree that this war should end. It doesn’t simply end, if Israel stops military operations though.

Yes, there’s also discrimination inside Israel and it needs to end. This doesn’t change anything I said before.
The League of Nations created a mandate for the foundation of a state for the Jews in the Levante. So there’s a basis in international law for it.
Most of the land on which Israel was founded in 1948 was state owned land and land owned by Jews they had purchased.
No Palestinian would have lost their land, if the partition plan would have been accepted. Instead they chose war and lost it.
Prior to 1900 the land was only sparsely populated in the first place.
More than 800,000 Jews were expelled from Arab and Muslim countries in the region and had to flee to Israel. It was a population exchange like India and Pakistan around the same time.
Several ethnicities live in Israel and have the same citizenship and rights. Israel is the state for the Jews, just like Poland for Polish, Spain for Spanish, and so on. All of these have minorities living in them as well.
You don’t seem to have a good understanding of nation, state, ethnicity, and their relationships.
That article refers to Palestinians without Israeli citizenship in the West Bank and Gaza. I was not talking about them.
Parents, who are also combatants in terrorist militias, have a duty to not endanger their children by handing them tactical communications equipment.
This is primarily a call to learn about the history of the conflict.
Palestinian political strategy and tactics have been moderately successful at best, IMHO. It’s worth knowing about them and their history. Black September and the role of Palestinian groups in the Lebanese civil war are also worth learning about to better understand the current situation.
What a novel revelation!
What internal law was violated? https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1
Please point out the war crime you mean. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1
Jews founded a state of their own in 1948. Forgiveness of others is independent of building a safe home for your people.
Something we can agree on.
Zionism is an umbrella term for a whole bunch of different ideologies. What they have in common is the belief that the Jewish people should exercise its right to self determination in the form of the state of Israel. Many Zionists see this mission already full filled as of 1948.
There’s strong disagreement also inside of Israel and among Zionists what territory is deemed sufficient.
Children suffer from all kinds of stupid decisions their parents made.
You’re on a soccer field and try to kick the ball into the goal, miss and hit a spectator. The goal was targeted, the spectator wasn’t.
The target was a Hezbollah member, the weapon was a pager bomb, the child is an innocent bystander hit by accident.
If you think the Jewish people doesn’t a right of self determination in their ancestral homeland, it makes you racist, yes. Every people has that right according to the UN charter. How the Jewish people choose to exercise that right is their choice, and they chose the state of Israel. Denying the Jewish people the right to self determination is racist of course.
I’m trying to make clear to you, that Israel is judged and attacked harshly for policies other western democratic nation states have as well regarding nationality and citizenship for example. At the same time Israel has a much higher proportion of citizens, that are not members of the dominant group than other nation states.
Non Jewish citizens have the same rights as Jews. There is discrimination and that needs to be addressed. However non Jews can be found throughout the institutions of the state of Israel, including university professors, army generals and Supreme Court members.
Would you care to elaborate?
Salad is good for you. I won’t provide sources as you will dismiss anything I link anyway. You have enough terms to start googling.
