Major demonstrations all over the country, hundreds of thousands in a spontaneous act against tyranny

Just watched 1000s of protestors break through the barricades at Netanyahu's residence. JFC. Not holding my breath, but this feels like regime change.

To be fair, when the IDF shoots a news reporter in the head with a sniper rifle it's not about race, it's about stopping discussion of the issue.

I believe the CIA refers to that sort of thing as a "journalistic integrity reward".

Israelis and Palestinians are largely the same race

Neither are the same race because race doesn't exist. We're all the same species. They're separate ethnicities with a common core religion (Abrahamic faith) separated into similar branches.

The difference between them is that Israel is an occupying force instead of an immigrating force. The day Israelies choose to treat Palestinians as equals and give back stolen land is the day that peace can have a chance.

Peace will have a chance when this doesn't happen: https://www.npr.org/2022/09/05/1121119558/israeli-army-says-a-soldier-likely-killed-a-palestinian-american-journalist

Peace will have a chance when Israeli settlers give back stolen land (as declared by the United Nations).

Peace will have a chance when Israeli citizens are good neighbors instead of kettling Palestinians into a ghetto state and then blaming them for the violence and poverty that the IDF forces on them.

The aggressor (Zionists) don't get to say peace is impossible and victim blame. Israel has every right to exist as a state that supports and uplifts Jews and Judaism, but they have no right to abuse others to maintain that state. No group, not religious, not ethnicity, not anything, has a right to that. Currently Israel is no better than Russia in regards to Palestinian rights. That can change, but it's on Israelis to fix their own mistakes.

I want my daughter (Jewish via her mother) to be able to look at at least one of her people's modern histories and see good. She's not getting it out of Iran, Lebanon, or Syria, so Israel better step the fuck up.

Then why oppress so hard?

That’s actually why they don’t worry.

It’s when they take the boot OFF the neck that revolutions happen. The safest thing for a dictator to do is run their country ruthlessly.

You just explained that they worry about revolution, so they rule their country with an iron fist. This is exactly what the other guy’s argument was lol.

Except that they don’t have to worry about it as long as they keep it up.

This belief that people will “rise up” and fight dictators is seriously wishful thinking
