Bunch of racist Israeli hooligans that were thrown into the Amsterdam Canals got more outrage from the international media and diplomats than a livestreamed cold blooded murder by a terrorist. This is everything you need to know about the world we live in. Palestinian lives simply do not matter.

Isreal proposed international peacekeeping forces in Gaza, but Hamas has rejected it. If I may quote Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the Hamas political bureau, "We stress our people's rejection of the presence of any non-Palestinian actors on our land." [ https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2024/04/02/hamas-says-no-to-i... ]. They only accept aid organizations.
Question: Which miltary body other than any linked to one of the conflict parties did Israel propose to do the peacekeeping? If the answer is "None" then Israel did not in fact propose peacekeeping forces.
Hamas didn’t counter with a preferred peacekeeping composition, they rejected peacekeeping to retain their monopoly on violence (and Gaza’s resources).
To the extent there are evils in this story, they’re the leadership of Hamas and Likud.
Also involved with NOL and also killed by a settler: Odeh Muhammad Hadalin https://www.democracynow.org/2025/7/29/headlines/palestinian...
> Odeh Muhammad Hadalin’s name was sometimes spelt as Awdah Muhammad Hathaleen.

Has there ever been another group of people that have lost so many existential wars in a row but still demand they keep their land?
How do you define this group of people? Most Palestinians have more of the blood of Abraham than the European Jews who displaced them. The idea that the Jews fled Palestine after the Romans conquered it is a myth that can be verified by genetic testing. Many stayed and Hellenized and then converted to Christianity and then converted to Islam. Now these people won't do the rational thing and "convert" back to Judaism…

History is a funny thing, now that you mention it. Should we start in 1948, when all of Israel’s neighbors invaded simultaneously? Or one of the other times Israel was invaded by their neighbors? Should we go back further and blame the Ottoman Empire for collapsing and causing a power vacuum in the region?
Let's go back one further to 1947 where there was no Israel, and it was all Palestine.
A British colony. Taken from the Ottomans.

Being upset at what you believe to be terrorism is, thankfully, not a valid justification for ethnic cleansing and genocide, either.

Fun fact that all of the Israel's prime ministers were terrorists and engaged in terrorism.
IDF was created out of terrorist organizations like Irgun.
One can make argument that it was in fact israelis who brought terrorism to the middle east, which didnt have terrorism problem before

In London there are pretty much daily pro Palestinian protests, not much for the other side.
Once Gaza and the West Bank are taken care of, will Lebanon, Jordan, or Syria be next? Israel very much depends on being the dominant power in the region. If they lose US support, things could get ugly indeed. And they are losing support rapidly now.
They've already attacked Syria and Lebanon multiple times already. There's no doubt that they're already planning for new wars once this one is over.

No, it's been the norm for Israel since its inception. To mention just a couple of examples, ben-Gurion was a founder of Haganah, of which Rabin, infamous for his "break-their-bones" policy, was a member. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-their-bones_policy

Can someone living in Israel help me understand what is going on right now? What does the political climate look like in Israel? Do majority of people support what is happening, if so why? if not, how is the government executing this? Further, has this had any impact on the overall relationship between Jewish people worldwide and those residing in Israel? if so, how? I know that the media is all over the place and it…
