@LowEndMuse It's not a matter of having to. It's just the effect of what they've chosen to do. @MrGoat @FrankCannon
@poemblaze The effect of what they've been forced to do.Said it before here,I have zero support for terrorism but after many years experience fighting against it I can tell you it doesn't just randomly pop up,it happens for a reason.All Israel's actions have achieved at this point is to encourage many more to pick up arms that never would've thought to before. @LowEndMuse @MrGoat
@FrankCannon @poemblaze @LowEndMuse @MrGoat and yet, the only people who can decide their own fate are the Palestinians. Ben Gurion knew this and so did many prior much less opportunistic and realistic PMs. No matter how it happened (and that's a much longer discussion about right and wrong), we are here. Israel is a state and the Palestinians are not. The Palestinians want to destroy Israel (along with, still, the Arab nations and Iran). It is demonstrably false that Israel wants to /1
@FrankCannon @poemblaze @LowEndMuse @MrGoat destroy the Arabs or Palestinians as evidenced by the land for peace deals they've made as well as the fact that the Palestinians have grown massively in number in the last decades and the Arab Israeli population (20% of Israel) growth rate is 2.2% compared with 1.8% for Jews. Netanyahu is an asshole and should be strung up but if Israel really wanted to earn their pariah status they could have and would have destroyed their enemies long ago. /2
