All of the gazans are descendants of refugees from the nakba. Its not like anyone drew a shape, the israelis suggested the palestinians go somewhere else so they did. But no other country let them in so now israel is forced to deal with the fallout. Obviously if someone from jordan showed up thats not israels problem, but when israel refuses to let the refugees they are responsible for have their own state they remain responsible for the refugees.

Unless you're talking about Zionists returning to their homeland, you're advocating for ethnic cleansing. Palestinians should not be refugees from their own land.

I shouldn't even engage with this since you've been spamming the entire thread with pro-Israel hasbara, but Ashkenazis are native to Europe not the Middle East, and yes they should return to their homeland -- mainly Eastern and Central Europe.

In what world is 20,179 dead children the lesser of two evils?

Most of the world sees Palestinians as the victims and Zionists are very much the global minority. Hamas made that a reality, so I think they are the answer. I certainly support their resistance to Zionism, just like the Haitian slave revolt.

Deaths in Gaza are very much not random. Adult men have the highest casualties which is what would be expected since Hamas militants are most often adult men, it's well documented that Hamas also uses child soldiers to some degree as well.

> it's well documented that Hamas also uses child soldiers to some degree as well. Cruel Israeli oppression motivates even children to resist them. Israel then murders said children. Obviously Hamas must be to blame for Israeli actions.

> Cruel Israeli oppression motivates even children to resist them.

More like Hamas/UNRWA schools teach children to be terrorists.

No, why would I? Also, mods: what's up with all these brand new accounts spamming this thread with pro-Israel propaganda?

Your perspective is divorced from reality.

Across the 36 countries, a median of 67% of adults have an unfavorable view of Israel, while 25% have a favorable view [1].
