14 Israeli soldiers were killed in one day. What do you think?

[Anonymous]

Thousands of Israelis have been killed in the last 12 months and there are hundreds of hostages.. I don't understand why Netanyahu is continuing the war. Now Iran is also involved in the war. Things are going to get hot. Israel should accept that it is a country in the Middle East and get along well with its neighbors in the Middle East. The United States cannot always protect Israel.

geez i wonder how many palestine soldiers were killed every day for the last year. i bet it was more than that.

i'm not on either side in that conflict but when someone points out casualties and doesn't see the numbers in comparison, that just seems ridiculous to me.

yes every dead person should be mourned but hell it's hard to be sad about 10 people on one side, if the other side lost 100 people.

[genericname85]

like in the last year, there were roughly 10 palestinian casualties every single day.

[Asker]

I think the numbers don't matter, people are dying on both sides and it's sad.

[genericname85]

yup. people are dying on both sides. 40.000 on the Palestinian side. 1000 on israeli side last year. that's how big the difference is. and let's not forget that the israelis are the ones who started this current escalation of the fight.

[genericname85]

so I don't know man. but israel does really not look like the good guy who deserves sympathy in this situation.

[Asker]

The Israeli reaction was exaggerated. killing 40,000 people is unacceptable from any point of view. That is why Israel will never be accepted in the Middle East. Israel will always be on edge. And he is making an even bigger mistake by continuing this war. Israelis are a minority in the Middle East, even if they are powerful, they are a minority. They should accept this.

yeah being powerful to an extends frees you of having to be moral, cause you can just destroy anyone who wants to complain. america has lots of experience with that also.

There are no "Palestinian soldiers" since Palestine is not a state. There are HAMAS soldiers and HAMAS is a terrorist organization. In fact, it was on this day in 1997 (08 OCT 1997) that the US State Department declared HAMAS as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).

It's also important to know how they are determined to be an FTO and, as a US person, the legal ramifications of interacting with an FTO. All of that is discussed on the linked webpage.

@abc3643 that doesn't change the fact that on the israeli side, far less people are dying. it's less deaths by a factor of 40.

[abc3643]

I won't debate that, but I don't care.
You know the # of deaths on either side on 06 OCT 2023?
0
They started it; they pay the price.

You know how many Americans died on 06 AUG 1945 and 09 AUG 1945 compared to the number of Japanese?
Probably a factor of 10,000.
'They started it; they pay the price.

The problem with Israel isn't it getting along with its neighbors. It's that its neighbors have wanted Israel to cease to exist since it was created.

As far as I am concerned, Israel can nuke its neighbors. Final solution.

[Agape93]

They won't get along with the neighbors who keep trying to genocide them.

[Asker]

If Israel does not want thousands of its citizens to die, it should make a deal with its neighbors. Otherwise, in this war that no one can win, only citizens become the losers. You're writing this in your own house right now, but I'm sure an Israeli hostage dozens of floors below the ground would like this war to end immediately and get back to his family. I'm sure she would have made any deal to get back to his family.

[Agape93]

And yet despite Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar brokering deals, almost no hostages have been willingly released. If they want the Israelis to stop bombing them or end the threat of nukes, release rhe hostages and stop firing into Israel. Simple.

[Asker]

What Palestine wants is for Israel to recognize Palestine as a state. But Israel does not do this. If Israel does this, the whole problem will be solved. But I think for Israel, a piece of land is more valuable than hostages. So one of the two sides must give up. And I think Israel should do this. Because Palestine has nothing left to lose. Israel still hasn't even been able to save its hostages.

[Agape93]

Except it isn't a state and never has been. They need to understand this.

And no, if Israel sees Palestine as a state, every country around them will still want them all dead and gone.

Palestine has plenty to lose. How many more women and kids will Palestinians allow to die before they release innocent hostages? So far, thousands. Thousands more will die if they don't stop acting like the terrorists they openly support.

Netanyahu is continuing the war because the only alternative is exterminating his own people.

The war didn't start in October; it started in 1947 and has been going on ever since.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Such low casualties?
God rest them in peace and may the terrorist's pay for theyr crime.
I stand with Israel.
