    Calling the genocide in Gaza terrorism cheapens the word. What is happening in Gaza is far beyond terrorism. If not for the pictures and video evidence, it would be a natural response to not want to believe something so utterly horrible and depraved to be contemporary.

    I understand the sentiment of the meme though. It’s easy to believe what Israel is doing is righteous, if their victims are not considered human.

    How about the dead Afghani’s? Iraqi’s? They were all terrorists…really??

    Edit: Typo

      Don’t forget the illegal settlers, I saw a video of an interaction where a settler literally calls the military group asking for support.

      The USA has carpet bombed entire nations, more than one, into the dust.

      They weren’t all enemy combatants, either.

      Israel thinks they are in the right, just as the USA believed it was right (and Germany, Japan, UK, Russia, et al).

      I don’t think they want a two-state solution, and I think the Palestinians agree, they also don’t want a two-state solution. Their long-term goals are to destroy the other (from the river to the sea).

      Do all Palestinians and Jews agree? Of course not. But, the violent fundamentalists of both do agree.

      History has proven that you can totally destroy Jerusalem, and fundamentalist Islam, Jews, and Christians will be more than happy to fight over the Holy Rubble.

      How do you resolve this? The territory has been owned by Jews, Muslims, Christians; Babylon, Ottoman Empire, United Kingdom, Rome, Greeks, and more.

        the violent fundamentalists of both do agree.

        Conservatism(the tool of the Epstein class) is the real enemy. Consider that when the Obama admin was negotiating the nuclear deal with Iran, the people who fought against the deal were the conservatives in the UK, the US, Iran and Israel. They all wanted conflict instead.

        It was the liberals around the world who supported a peaceful outcome.
