>But israel has offered many times to compromise and each one was rejected because of my comment. This is not true. They came to the table at Oslo and Rabin was shot for it. The Israeli leader was shot because of the outline of the agreement he made. Since then the Israelis have no interest in a two state solution. They occupy some 80% of the West Bank and will occupy 100% of Gaza now. They do not recognize the Palestinian right to exist. They continue to expand settlements. The instituted a basic law which required called for the state to protect and expand settlements. The government of the Knesset includes rabid anti-arabs like Ben Gavir within its ministries. They call for sanction and throw a political equivilent to a hissy fit when Spain and Ireland recognized the state of a Palestine as an entity. How is this the party of the supposed two state solution? No. Netanyahu and his government have no interest in a two state solution. They will not recognize an independent Palestine because there is no need for them to, it gains them nothing and closes avenues to a greater Israel, which is their stated goal. There has been no proposal by the Israelis which would have solved the conflict >Some did give it up voluntarily, they sold it or were told to leave to avoid war. Now I won’t say there wasn’t displacement, there was, and it’s sad. But  Being sold at gun point isn't a free transaction. The nakba occured and the Israel is built off of it. Also something something, everything is meaningless before the but something something. >Israel in their mind Whose mind? Fatah the people who came to the table at Oslo and Camp David Summit? The people that recognized the right for Israel to exist but disputed borders? >It’s why there’s still war raging 80 years later. A war is raging 80 years later is because the Israelis supported Hamas' creation in the 70s and 80s to undermine the PA. Because an Israeli settler murdered Rabin. And because the Israeli government has cut off any avenue of a two state solution.

It wasn't theirs, in terms of sovereign "ownership". They were effectively part of the Ottoman Empire and then the British Empire (as part of the mandate). The Palestinians were never granted independence by the Ottomans nor the British, until the partition. They decided to risk it all by declaring war, and lost.

1. I agree? The war on terror was decided instantly, by a government that then gave overwhelming approval to the expansion of that war on terror... it did fuck all but yeah. We didn't need to protest. 2. I was critiquing your use of "protest" to include the use of violence within a foreign country to kill terrorist leaders.

They know it's probably not going to, but smart people typically don't like supporting a country who deliberately ethnically cleanses another group of people and has zero intentions of ever allowing them to live freely (not just Gaza, all the fucked up shit Israel does in the West Bank too). It'd be one thing if it were just that though, we're supplying Israel with the means to terrorize Gazans. That's why the protests have become so widespread. You can't cry about Ukrainians being ethnically cleansed by Russia, and then say Palestinians don't deserve similar/same sentiments. You force your educational institution to divest from Israel, you increasingly take away Israel's ability to feed us propoganda about how they don't shoot kids in the head in the West Bank. How they don't terrorize and bully them simply for existing. How they don't steal homes through "settling" new arrivals in them. How they don't burn Palestinian tree farms. Israel can keep killing innocent people, but we as Americans should not be funding it or acting like it's not happening, while simultaneously providing aid to those same people it's "not happening to". I'm tired of people like you thinking college kids are stupid, when they are LITERALLY the smartest people in our society. There's a reason advancements in society are spearheaded by masses of intellectuals. And I also doubt the governments of Spain, Ireland, or Norway who recently recognized Palestine as a state don't grasp what's going on, but all of the United States' closest allies who don't recognize Palestine are ironically the only ones that DO grasp it.

Because you're wrong? They're a part of the government in the same way that the January 6th rioters in America are: They're extremists who want to run the government but currently only hold a minority, and independently of their presence in government are conducting military operations. If they get enough public backing to take over the government, they will do so and then the government _will_ be doing what Hezbollah wants. Until that point, it's better to think of them of a terrorist organization with a government outreach project in addition to the usual "blowing stuff up" projects.

It’s because they want their homeland back or at least control of their homeland. Israel has effectively total control of Gaza, West Bank, and each individual Palestinian without representation.

If you want a reasonable answer, it likely has something to do with the fact that the U.S. and Europe are not economically, culturally and militarily intertwined with Lebanon (or Syria, or any of the other countries that people like to make this argument in reference to) in the same way that we are with Israel; by comparison we have no influence on and responsibility for the violence they commit. We put pressure on our leaders to put pressure on our allies to act ethically. We have a lot more influence in Israel than Lebanon, Syria, China etc.

The provisional IRA has a direct lineage to the old IRA. Old IRA fought the British, became the Irish Free State. Many of the Old IRA didn't want to abandon seven counties to British rule (especially when many of them were from there), so there was a civil war followed by guerilla war between the Irish Free State ( backed by the Brits ) and the IRA. In 1969 the same organization split into the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA (provos) over whether their political wings should continue abstaining from standing in British / Northern Ireland parliament. The provos quickly became the biggest of the two and their campaigns in the north had fairly broad support and are directly responsible for the Good Friday agreement. Sinn Fein was (unofficially) the political wing of the provisional IRA.

People protest Israel because they have an idiotic view of the world in which you are either oppressor or oppressed. These people don't see the complexity. If they do not want the destruction of Gaza (as I would not want it) they also have to find an alternative solution. Because no people should be forced to live near an avowedly genocidal regime that fires thousands of rockets every year on civilians and enters within the borders of a sovereign state to rape, torture, slaughter and kidnap 1400 innocent people in a few hours.

Ireland is politically neutral in that they do not take part in active combat and are not part of Nato. Their troops are exclusively used for peace keeping mission. Ireland’s defensive budget is similar to other countries of a similar size. If Ireland was to be invaded it would be from the east and therefore mean one of two things: 1. It’s being invaded by the UK, in which case Ireland will never be able to afford a comparable military force. 2. It’s being invaded by an aggressor who has already conquered the UK, and most likely France, and potentially Germany. In which case there would be absolutely no chance of Ireland being able to put up a fight. An invasion from the west is highly unlikely as the invading force would have to sail through territorial waters of several other countries before reaching Ireland. Secondly, what exactly do you mean about refusing to pay for their own defense? I assume you mean that they don’t have an active airforce? This is not unusual for a country of less than 6 million inhabitants. They also do not _rely_ on the UK airforce but rather _allow_ the UK airforce to patrol and act in their territory. Bear in mind that Ireland has had _no_ military engagements in the hundred years since the country was formed: No invasions or territorial disputes. The last military conflict was with the UK, on which you claim Ireland now relies   for defence.

The Golan Heights was seized from Syria, not Lebanon, following the Six Day War in the 1960s. And Hezbollah wasn't formed until the 1980s. And there absolutely is a self defense claim to Crimea and parts of Ukraine for Russia. I suggest you study the history and geography of the area. That still does not grant them the right to annex the territory. Nor does Israel's claims of self defense grant them rights to annex their neighboring territories. By that argument, they can and should annex the entirety of the West Bank and Gaza and expel all residents -- something I, frankly, believe the current Israeli regime intends to do as much as possible (see their settlements across the West Bank, their uprooting of residents, and their complete destruction of Gaza). Let me be perfectly clear, I am not defending anyone in this conflict. In my eyes, everyone in current positions of power are in the wrong for various reasons. And none of them are willing to do what is necessary for lasting peace.
