The scale of torture and killing perpetrated by the IDF and illegal settlers inside Palestinian territory is several orders of magnitude larger, and the right of an occupied people to resist violently is protected by international law.

If you're going to go back to 1967 to explain the WB occupation, then you have to go back to the war of 1948 whereby Israeli Jews took over Palestine to begin with as the British withdrew, resulting in over 700,000 Palestinians fleeing their homes or being expelled (read up on the Nakba). That's the root cause of why the WB and Gaza are occupied and the ongoing conflict.

> Calling it occupied is like calling parts of Poland and France occupied because Germany started a war in 1967 and lost, losing territory.

very false equivalency

Sorry but your response is a grave distortion of what happened in 1948.

And saying there is no occupation is also completely false.

But you’re clearly not interested in facts so no point in arguing further.

		Britain partitioning Palestine into Jordan, the Arab state and the Jewish state is universally accepted history. You can confirm it at any source you like. The Arab league attacking Israel in 1948 is also universally accepted matter of history. You can also confirm it from any source you like.

Propaganda nonsense.

- that article is nearly a year old.

- Israel grossly over counts who is Hamas.

- Lancets July estimate was 200k dead. If 17k Hamas have died AND we exclude all civilians that have been killed since July, that's still 10 dead civilians for every legitimate target - horrible and despicable
