Who do you support; Israel or Palestine?

[Anonymous]

I'm neutral

[RavVid]

I was feeling quite conflicted with Israel behaving like Russia.

However I reject the innocent civilian mantra. Civilians may only go along with things but they are still part of what the state does and have ultimate responsibility and therefore bear the consequences.

[HawkPerception]

Palestine 100%

Anyone who says they're with Israel is probably just not educated on the matter or racist towards Muslims and supporting it because they want all Muslims dead. I'm not religious or supportive of Muslim culture either. I find it to be a primitive culture that is oppressive towards women, but I do not support mass genocide.

[DextroShade]

Israel, as the Palestinians are a bunch of barbaric losers. After the Israelis pulled out of Gaza over a decade ago they had the chance to turn it into the next Dubai but instead they elected Hamas who dug up water pipes to make them into rockets and built bases under schools and hospitals. They brought this on themselves and I have zero sympathy for them.

[Asker]

They've never had a chance like that. Palestinians have been living under the daily violence of Israeli occupation for the last 75 years. For the last 16 years, the Israeli government has suffocated Palestinians in Gaza under an air, sea, and land military blockade.

[DextroShade]

Wrong, Israel pulled out of Gaza over a decade ago, and there was never a naval blockade. They have received massive amounts of money from the UN and other countries and decided to spend it on terrorizing Israel instead improving the standard of living for Gazans. They choose terrorism over prosperity so they get what they deserve.

[Asker]

Wrong, Palestine has been living under Israeli blockade for 75 years.

[Lliam]

Palestine. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
It was an act of colonialism for the British to create a Jewish state in Palestine. And then Zionist colonists turned it into a racist, theocratic, genocidal, terrorist state, which fits perfectly with American and British ambitions for the region.

[Lottifan]

Israel

[Asker]

Why?

[Massageman]

Thank you.

[Asker]

@Massageman Are you Israeli?

[Anonymous]

Can't "fuck both of 'em" be an option? Or I suppose more accurately, "let them fight it out." My take is it's pretty clear that kicking the can down the road these last 70-odd years hasn't worked. They need to fight this out until someone surrenders unconditionally and then we can all move on.

[exitseven]

Israel they are a US ally and the victim of terrorism. They have spent decades surrounded by enemies

[Asker]

Israel has killed thousands of Palestinian civilians. Israel doesn't seem like much of a victim.

[normalice]

I think Netanyahu and Putin should be forced into a cage match over it, and leave Israel/Palestine out of their dumb conflicts.

[TheorionMage]

Its a prestige ego turf war spanning millenia... once upon a time, over Medditerian sea access.

[HouseMoat]

You can't ask who you support then say you're neutral.

I'm on the side of "sanity"

[Asker]

Yes, I am neutral. I'm just curious about people's thoughts on this.

[HouseMoat]

Do not ask people what they think, then claim neutrality, you see how that worked out for countries like netherlands and belgium in the 40's

[shortster]

I don't support decapitating babies or raping women even in war time. So I support Israel.

[Asker]

Israel has also killed thousands of children.

[shortster]

Maybe in bombings; but there is a difference between killing civilians as part of collateral damage when targeting military assets and going house to house killing and raping civilians.

[Asker]

So it's okay to blow up civilians with missiles, right?

[shortster]

Not to target civilians

[shortster]

Plus Israel has been warning civilians on where they were going to attack next and telling them to evacuate those areas.

[Asker]

17,000 civilians died in just 2 months. And half of these dead are children. It's obvious that there's a problem.

[DextroShade]

The problem is Hamas won't let people leave because they want human shields and dead children on the news.

[Asker]

@DextroShade If Israel is fighting Hamas, it should only kill Hamas. It is not normal to kill thousands of babies.

[DextroShade]

Then Hamas should stop using them as human shields.

[Asker]

@DextroShade Or Israel should stop bombing civilians in Gaza.

[DextroShade]

So they should just keep turning the other cheek when Hamas shows up raping and murdering people?

[Asker]

@DextroShade
Luke 6
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.

[shortster]

17,000, where did you get that number?

Also why would you quote the New Testament when talking about what Jews should do when facing an enemy that's stated goal is their annihilation?

[Asker]

Because what is true is what Jesus commanded. It is wrong to respond to evil with evil.

[shortster]

But Jews don't follow the commandments of Jesus.

[shortster]

Also self defense is not considered evil.

[Asker]

Killing thousands of civilians is not "self-defense".

[Asker]

Israel acted only emotionally, acted with ego. "1 million Palestinians will die against 1,500 Israelis" is how Israel thinks. This is a wrong idea. If Israel had killed only Hamas militants, it would have been in "self-defense". But Israel has killed thousands of innocent Palestinians out of revenge. That's all.

[shortster]

According to whom?

[Asker]

According to the human rights act. There is nothing legitimate about killing innocent civilians.

[shortster]

No, according to whom have the Israelis killed 17,000?

[Asker]

Gaza Ministry of Health, World Health Organization. You are so biased that you don't even care how many Palestinian civilians have died. You didn't even look.

[shortster]

Gaza ministry of health is part of the Hamas government. Taking numbers from a terrorist organization is usually not a good idea.

[Asker]

The world health organization also confirms this. WHO says 1 child killed every 10 minutes in Gaza

[shortster]

The WHO is a subsidiary of the Chinese government. China is an ally of Iran and Hamas is a protectorate of Iran.

[Asker]

Do you also deny that water is wet or the Earth is round?

[shortster]

Absolutely not

[Lottifan]

@asker
They’ve done the world a favour by stopping the next generation of terrorists growing up.

[Asker]

@Lottifan Hitler was of this opinion too.

[DextroShade]

So the Jews raped and murdered over a thousand Germans before the holocaust?

[Asker]

@DextroShade Yes, they did. Otherwise, Hitler would not have been so full of hatred. Also, those who rape Israelis are not 5 million Palestinians, but a few thousand Hamas militants. Besides, you think like Hitler, you know that, right?

[Lottifan]

@asker
Grow up little girl. Go pray to Jesus. Israel has the right to defend herself. Every Palestinian has the terrorist mentality. For 75 years they were offered peace. They don’t want to accept it so let them suffer the consequences.

[Asker]

@Lottifan You, the supporter of the genocide, are you talking about Jesus? This idea of yours is literally Hitler's idea. I'm a devout Christian. Jesus says, "Love your enemies." You are not a real Christian. Because of people like you, people think that all Christians are evil people. You are evil.

🙏Luke 6🙏
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.

[DextroShade]

You do realize that if you were at that music festival they would have raped and murdered you too, right?

[Lottifan]

@asker
What a lot of crap

[Lottifan]

Jesus said love thy enemies It didn’t do him much good did it..

[Asker]

@DextroShade If I was in Gaza, Israel would blow me up with a missile. I'm not defending Hamas. I'm only against genocide. Millions of civilians cannot be blamed for what Hamas has done. Israel is practicing collective punishment, it is very wrong and sin. Thousands of babies died.

[Asker]

@Lottifan You're evil. All you're doing is harming the Christian religion. Jesus was definitely against genocide and the killing of people. He said, "Love your enemies."

[Lottifan]

You poor brainwashed little girl.

[Asker]

@Lottifan I'm not brainwashed enough to support the genocide.

[Lottifan]

No. your’e just brainwashed by religious lunatics

[Asker]

@Lottifan God bless you 🙏

[shortster]

Hitler hated the Jews because his mother's doctor was Jewish and he blamed him for his mother's death.

[DextroShade]

You are brainwashed because you support Hamas who wants to kill all the Jews in Israel and have explicitly said as much. If Israel really wanted all the Gazans dead they would already be dead.

[Asker]

@shortster So Hitler blamed millions of Jews because of one jew. Just like you blamed millions of Palestinian civilians because of a few Hamas militants.

[Asker]

@DextroShade No, Israel cannot do it even if it wants to. Because there is not only Israel in the world.

[shortster]

I don't blame civilians. I blame militants that conducted the raid on Israel.

[Asker]

Yes, me too. Israel should have killed only Hamas militants. Not thousands of civilians. Israel made the mistake of killing thousands of civilians.

[DextroShade]

Again, Hamas forces these people to be human shields, but you will make up any excuse to support these terrorists.

[Asker]

@DextroShade What are you talking about? Hamas lives in tunnels. Why did Israel bomb Gaza from the air? Hamas militants do not live above the ground, but under the ground. Israel has bombed Gaza from the air, and killing only civilians. All Israel had to do was launch a ground operation into Gaza and find Hamas tunnels. And Israel should have killed ONLY Hamas militants. But Israel has killed civilians, just like Hamas.

[barn_stormer]

it doesn't matter. israel is going to wipe them all out anyway

[Asker]

Do you support genocide?

[barn_stormer]

not my country, not my problem

[Asker]

But they're human beings just like you. The only difference is that you're evil.

[barn_stormer]

who cares. you dumb bitch.

[Asker]

You're disrespectful and evil. I will complain about you to Jesus.

[barn_stormer]

Jesus hates you too

[Asker]

No, Jesus hates you, not me. Because you are full of hatred and you are a supporter of genocide.

[barn_stormer]

No, Jesus hates idiots. I never said I support genocide. I said I don't care.

[Asker]

Not being against evil is an evil.

[barn_stormer]

Israel's not evil. They just want to have a country of their own. It's grey, not black/white.

[Asker]

Israel is not evil. But genocide is evil.

[barn_stormer]

They're not killing ALL arabs. Just some palestinians.

[Asker]

Some Palestinians? Thousands of civilian women, children, babies. How can you normalize this?

[barn_stormer]

What are you gonna do about it other than whining on some unused questions site? What can you do REALLY?

[barn_stormer]

If you really cared, you'd join Hamas.

[Asker]

At least I'm standing in the face of evil. Jesus sees me.

[barn_stormer]

You're accomplishing literally nothing. Jesus is a fantasy and doesn't exist.

[Alex-Snow]

Both are at fault because they can't live peacefully near each other

[Anonymous]

Israel
Palestine and Hamas need consigning to history

[Asker]

Why Israel?

[Opinion Owner]

Not terrorists or rapists

[Asker]

Terrorist = a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

According to this definition, Israel is also a terrorist. Because Israel has killed thousands of civilian women and children in Gaza.

[Opinion Owner]

Israel isn't atting the west unlike your best friends Hamas, once you stop being a useful mouthpiece they add you still kicking and screaming to one of their bonfires

[smahala1991]

It's gone on long enough, enough to the point that I just want it to stop already

[OldBlue]

I support Israel, because I'm a infidel.

[Asker]

What does that have to do with anything? Lol

[Dargil]

Saints or bloodthirsty Savages. Guess.

[Asker]

Who?

[Staximus]

I think they are both idiots

[Asker]

I agree. I just feel sorry for the innocent people caught in the middle of all this.

[HouseMoat]

Then you support both, QA. There are innocents on both sides. But, don't ask us who we support, and then claim "neutrality"

[Staximus]

@HouseMoat she can do what she wants and you can just shut up and deal with it, pally

[HouseMoat]

We're all allowed to have MOUTHED opinions. She has hers, you have yours, I have mine. FREE COUNTRY

[mohannad5]

Palestine 🇵🇸

[Bklynbadboy12]

Neither war is wrong and it solves nothing

[Anonymous]

Both.. the victims of both sides

[Forceinhand]

Israel.

[Asker]

Why?

[Forceinhand]

Historically: The entire area in the Levant has been known as Israel since as early as 2500 BC. It's been a Jewish kingdom since 2000 years back and is where they have their origin. Palestine has never existed as a state. The name originates from a name given by Greek seafarers to describe the area of "Philistea" where Philistines lived, who are since long extinct as a folk group. Jews/Hebrews were the predominant people in Israel up till the Ottoman empire conquered the area and gradually and forcibly drove away Jewish populations from their lands and farms until 80% were arabs. And yet Israelis are called the thieves.

De jure: Israel is a legitimately formed state by international mandate, while the "Palestinian state" was randomly declared a decade after the formation of Israel.

Morally: "Palestine" is governed by Hamas, terrorists and murderers, backed by totalitarian regimes like Iran. They've done nothing but try to genocide the Israeli people and still openly declare that as their goal. They have comitted countless unspeakable acts, only recently we've confirmed that their terrorist soldiers who invaded Israeli territory have burnt and decapitated babies. Anyone who as much as says a peep in defense of that is a disgusting human being.

And that's only the tip of the iceberg. You could make entire essays on why Israel is obviously in the right. Israel is by no means perfect, no state is, and have comitted wrongs as well, but absolutely nothing compared to their enemies.

[Asker]

There was no United States here before B. C. Before B. C., there were no Europeans or blacks here, there were only native Americans. Then how about leaving America to the native Americans and going back to Europe?
Moreover, there is nothing to defend Israel's killing of thousands of innocent civilians.

[Forceinhand]

Not a good counterargument at all and no they're not.

[Asker]

A literally correct counterargument. I just made you feel empathy for 1 minute.

[Forceinhand]

And that made no sense whatsoever. As nothing in favour of palestine does.

[Worst]

Israel

[Asker]

Why?

[Worst]

Why not

[Asker]

There are many reasons.

[HouseMoat]

He's likely a christian, or as I like to call them "Christifucks"

[Worst]

I don't follow politics

[HouseMoat]

Right, and I'm jesus christ (I'm Jewish)
