Germans in the 1940's paid a grim price for bad political decisions they made in the 1930's

And it was a collective price, even if you weren't a Nazi, and even if you didn't vote for Hitler.

This is no different. Palestinians have been on the wrong side of things for 80+ years. Eventually the bill comes due for decades of bad political decisions (coupled with a lack of international support outside of extremist regimes in the region.) and the price must be paid. We are seeing that now, occurring in real time. Maybe the next generation will be ready for peace. There always seems to be another generation that follows the current one, no matter how many bomb vests they strap on their children.

How about some google pics of the underground tunnels used to store weapons, and paid for by Iran. The target the IDF is really after in Gaza. So little discussion of that among all the pics of dead babies and talk of genocide.

Absent historical context, the pics mean nothing. For that matter, all the deaths mean nothing too, absent proper context.

    Israel has been the aggressor breaking international laws for decades. Israel is the Nazi Germany in your anology. Hope that clears it up.

    you missed the point.

    it wasn't about Nazis.

    it's about a group of people who constitute a political entity making bad choices (for decades now..) pursuing doomed policies and doomed courses of action.

    We're watching this play out in real time in Gaza right now.

    Israel has been making bad choices since its formation the goal has always been genocide against the indigenous population

    Palestinians have been tooting that horn for 80+ years and nobody outside a few radical actors in the region cares. Even Iran just needs Palestinians as cannon fodder. So toot that horn for 80 more years if you like, but don't expect much to change in the wider world. That narrative has no traction in international politics outside the region.

    Nobody wants to touch the mess that is the Israeli/Palestininan issue. Too messy. Neighboring Arab states are ambivalent towards both sides on their best day, as history has shown.

    If one side is a kid with a rock in an open air ghetto (similar to the Warsaw ghetto) and the other side is one of the most well armed military powers on earth it’s not a war it’s a genocide

    Also if the load of crap you’re trying to sell was based on reality they would send netynahu to the hauge to stand trial because he’d have nothing to worry about. That’s not reality though because that man would hang

    Had me in the first half.. then you go on and excuse genocide. You look at this and say "oh ok, yes israel wiping Palestine off the face of the earth is good". That's beyond reprehensible
