wouldn't it be reasonable to provide counter sources then?

I think you are attacking people for flagging it, without reading the actual content of the reply.

Where's a blockaded tiny slice of coastal land no more than a few miles wide with no water and no arable land supposed to even get food? Nobody is convinced by the "they're just beggars" racist stuff, man. Those poor people were actively expelled from their homes and continuously oppressed and have had their new homes flattened countless times. The fact those poor people still survive and try to rebuild each and every time shows that those people work hard.

List them. Every single incident.

Lol. No.

If it is to recover what Israel occupied illegally, good. If Palestine did what Israel is doing, that would be bad. What happened in October the 7th was also horrible and condemned. We really need to deescalate the whole situation and stop the violence. Every one of these violent actions (in which Israel is the main perpetrator by far), not only create suffering and deaths in the short term, but makes a possible solution harder and harder.

Iran "would" expand (and citation needed) is very different than Israel "is in the process of" expanding, invading, suppressing peoples of different cultures within and without the borders of its state.

> I think I'd probably rather Israel conquered the Middle East than Iran.

I'd rather that whomever pursues a project of Lebensraum (that includes Russia) to be reminded of its place in the world, one way or another.

This is absurd. Iran hasn't done hostile expansion during its entire history as a modern state. Meanwhile the Greater Israel project is being aggressively pursued, with Israel currently (as in today, Wednesday April 8th) ethnically cleansing South Lebanon for indefinite occupation, as well as annexing the West Bank.

Of course, Israel is a pure white dove. For instance, they have rallies for "the right to rape prisoners" (and recently to kill them) [0]. Or to willingly mutilate peaceful protesters presenting no risk[1].

The problem is that the total lack of moral limits in Israel only forces their opponents to escalate, or accept to be treated like animals (in the case of the West Bank Palestinians). It also affects the US, since that they have to follow along with Israel' way of doing the war (mainly, war crimes).

That is the consequence of a long-term policy. Israel made sure the Palestinian authority was sidelined and helped Hamas get full control of the Gaza Strip. History did not start in October 2023.

We call Hamas "terrorists" for far less than Israel's actions.

As a first step they could give back some of their illegal settlements. Then over time give back more, until they are back in UN recognized borders. That would be a start. They could also start to persecute violent mobs that chased people out of their own homes and the people in the military covering them. They could also release unjustifiably imprisoned people.

You know, things that basic human decency would demand of them.

The best plan is one democratic state from the river to the sea for all peoples governed by the Israel government.

> Every neighbour country is threating what else they can do.

See above. When Israel finally stops trying to be a Jewish supremacist state things can finally start getting better.

Has it ever entered your mind that maybe it is actually Israel that is threatening every other country?

Carpet bombing, artillery and gunfire hasn’t brought peace, but maybe the next salvo will, right?

This has been happening to Jews everywhere they’ve been since the dawn of time. Maybe some introspection would help.

All of this madness is happening because the US enables a madman to escape his own judicial system through foreign wars.

All of this madness is happening because the US enables two+ madmen to escape their own judicial system through foreign wars.

Fixed it.
