  • While I get your understanding from my comment, I don’t know if I’d call it both-sideism as much as I would neither is innocent. Either was quite capable of taking steps to stop this before it happened.

    If it wasn’t for the fact it had happened before in Ireland I would 100% say there is no way the differences could be reconciled to a permanent two-state solution - but clearly there must be a pathway to peace. Unfortunately I don’t hold much confidence in it actually happening and more will continue to suffer because of it.







  • Na, its pretty obvious why, even to you.

    Quick mental exercise - the conflict is suspended in the next 10 minutes, a “permanent ceasefire”. Every aid truck is permitted in, Israel withdraws to their state, intl community is released.

    Do you think Israel will go “we achieved everything we want to, Hamas is no longer a threat, let’s disband our Iron dome, cease CMT, live our best lives”.

    Do you think Hamas will unify Palestine and usher in a new era of peace and stability, cease attacks on Israel because its not worth it, join the international community in rebuilding Palestine to be prosperous.

    Do you think the intl community is shocked enough to never let this happen again?



  • And I can also argue that when you have a neighbor that launches soo many rockets across the border that you have one of the best and most expensive anti-rocket defenses in the world, that has proven in the last few day that it still exists, you won’t stop until its gone.

    This conflict exists because politicians and the intl community failed miserably - Rwanda level failed. I blame the UNSC personally.

    As I’ve said in other comments before, I seriously hope that regardless of who you support, at the end of this conflict the acts above and beyond proportionality are thoroughly investigated, and I hope to see militants and politicians on both sides swinging in prison by the end of it.
