Cheers. It's worse for others, like those in Gaza. They don't have any form of protection.Good luck and stay safe.

Are you calling all Palestinians and Muslims savages? Israel is civilized?As an aside, imo, the outsized place the conflict plays in the Muslim psyche now, as well as the increased prominence of Islamist parties in Palestinian politics has unfortunately made it easier to paint the conflict as a religious one.
One that exists between the civilised Israel, an outpost of Western civilisation, and the savage Palestinians (read Muslims) who would have peace if only they loved their own kids as much as they hate the Jews.
Not saying everyone believes this of course or even a majority but I've certainly encountered this view more than I did previously.
How can you possibly read that post and take that meaning from it?Are you calling all Palestinians and Muslims savages? Israel is civilized?
Israel was declared a state in 1948. Whether people recognize Israel as a state or not is irrelevant. Israel is a state, and I am very happy about that!It's vile that posts on social media that shame Israel are being deleted/not getting as much reach in the algorithm. I genuinely do think that loads of western countries don't speak up regarding this because they'll then have to take a good hard look at their own historic colonialism. I can't believe there is anyone that actually defends Israel or wishes to recognise them as a state. Disgusting abusive behaviour that should in no way be overlooked.
Many of us don't recognize the fake state.Israel was declared a state in 1948. Whether people recognize Israel as a state or not is irrelevant. Israel is a state, and I am very happy about that!
All would recognize that Israel now without much of a fuss. Certainly all the countries. It's the occupied territories after 1967 that's the issue.Israel was declared a state in 1948. Whether people recognize Israel as a state or not is irrelevant. Israel is a state, and I am very happy about that!
Sorry I may have got it wrong then.How can you possibly read that post and take that meaning from it?
They couldn't pull of the bantustans because the world collectively and successfully boycotted them. Boycotting Israel though would make us all goosestepping anti-semites.Modern day Apartheid, with Gaza as the Bantustan the Afrikaners couldn't effectively pull off.
Where are you going with this?Many of us don't recognize the fake state.
That’s nonsense. Where has he said anything about aggression against the Jewish people?Where are you going with this?
You approve of aggression against the Jewish people for occupying a very small area that has huge historical and spiritual significance for them?
Without a home, the Jewish people are without an identity. What is a nation without a home?
Israel has an army attacking an unarmed people (Palestinians)Where are you going with this?

I was asking him if he approved of aggression against Israel. Someone who doesn't recognize Israel as a state, might approve of seeing them removed.That’s nonsense. Where has he said anything about aggression against the Jewish people?
What about the Palestinians who actually live in their home and are being evicted? What about the Palestinians who had to leave their homes in the Nakba and aren’t given any right to return?
Little coincidence.I was asking him if he approved of aggression against Israel. Someone who doesn't recognize Israel as a state, might approve of seeing them removed.
No one would defend all of Israel's actions throughout history. No one would defend how the native Indians were treated in America.
So firing rockets at Tel-Aviv is perfectly acceptable?Israel has an army attacking an unarmed people (Palestinians)
They attacked unarmed people who were praying
They killed 9 kids aged 4-14 with their airstrikes
Israel should be ashamed of themselves
Israel is an OCCUPYING FORCE
The Palestinians have more right on that land than those settlers
Those same settlers who roam the streets shouting death to all Arabs
What's that you say? Mosque? Innocents ?So firing rockets at Tel-Aviv is perfectly acceptable?
Those rockets could land on schools, hospitals, or whatever.
All unarmed people.
So attacking people praying in a religious building is ok?So firing rockets at Tel-Aviv is perfectly acceptable?
Those rockets could land on schools, hospitals, or whatever.
All unarmed people.
And the whitewash is complete.It's going to be about the reaction now - every one and their dog is going to condemn Hamas and somehow portray that both sides are equally at fault.
Randomly firing rockets into Tel-Aviv should be condemned, yes?It's going to be about the reaction now - every one and their dog is going to condemn Hamas and somehow portray that both sides are equally at fault.
And the whitewash is complete.
It's basically America and black people except with Palestinians and Israel.
Are you sure that it should be equally condemned? One is a reaction to the bolded part, the bolded part should be heavily condemned and not equated to the retaliation.Randomly firing rockets into Tel-Aviv should be condemned, yes?
Unprovoked aggression from Israel should also be equally condemned.
I never said it was ok.So attacking people praying in a religious building is ok?
Its ok to target civilians via an air strike
As well?
Ok for police to protect illegal settlers while they run through Palestinian areas shouting death to all Arabs?
Israel kill children on a weekly basis
How many Israelis have been killed by Palestinians this year compared to how many have been killed by Israel?
The last twelve months up to the start of this month have apparently seen the least Israeli deaths due to the conflict (3) since 1948. While this may in part be due to Covid, 2019 was the previous record holder, and I’d guess Israeli casualties have been relatively low since 2014.How many Israelis have been killed by Palestinians this year compared to how many have been killed by Israel?
Funnily no one is condemning Israels actions.I never said it was ok.
You made a point about innocent people becoming casualties as a result of Israeli aggression.
The same would also be true if Hamas rockets landed on schools, hospitals, synagogues etc.

From the tweet at the top of this page it's a good bet that the Iron Dome is helping a lot as well.The last twelve months up to the start of this month have apparently seen the least Israeli deaths due to the conflict (3) since 1948.

Dunno mate, the Kurds don't have a nation, neither do the Sikhs or the Jains. Fairly sure they all have identitiesWhere are you going with this?
You approve of aggression against the Jewish people for occupying a very small area that has huge historical and spiritual significance for them?
Without a home, the Jewish people are without an identity. What is a nation without a home?
I've read your comments and your vehement support for the state sponsored terrorism by Israel.Randomly firing rockets into Tel-Aviv should be condemned, yes?
Unprovoked aggression from Israel should also be equally condemned.
Iron Dome is a pretty amazing system, better than the Patriot by a significant degree.
You not been following the news?That said, what has caused this recent conflagration?
Unprovoked attacks should always be condemned, but it's a question of whether the attacks are provoked or not. Palestinians have launched thousands of rockets at Israel. How do you suppose Israel deals with this? Just ignore it?Are you sure that it should be equally condemned? One is a reaction to the bolded part, the bolded part should be heavily condemned and not equated to the retaliation.
I have, but I honestly don’t know what this specific flare up is about.You not been following the news?
You can't imagine a better way than what you see right now?Unprovoked attacks should always be condemned, but it's a question of whether the attacks are provoked or not. Palestinians have launched thousands of rockets at Israel. How do you suppose Israel deals with this? Just ignore it?
