"apartheid"? Palestinians are solely responsible for their economic situation by promoting terrorism and trying to literally erase their neighbors from the face of the earth. Read about Hamas "freedom fighters", they control Gaza now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_suicide_attacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_suicide_at...

I don't see how anything you said changes the fact that Israel is an apartheid state: https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/27/threshold-crossed/israeli-authorities-and-crimes-apartheid-and-persecution https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/27/threshold-crossed/isra... Also, you completely ignored the part about Lebanon also being a democracy. We need to stop spreading this old bit of misinformation that Israel is the only democracy.

  any country, including Israel, has a right to defend itself. when these "poor victims" bombard Israeli cities with rockets, or murder civilians in suicide attacks in the name of islamic jihad, you can't just let someone into your home who is carrying a knife and has blood on their hands. As for Lebanon they support Hezbollah, an islamic militant group which was created by Ayatollah Khomeini and sees eradication of Israel as their holy Jihad. They are largely controlled by Syria which is dreaming of "throwing the Jews into the sea", and is as far from democracy as you can possible get. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

    The number of Israeli civilians killed in those rocket attacks over the last 20 years is dwarfed by the number of kindergartens and medical facilities bombed by Israel in 2014 alone. It's safe to say that both Israel and Palestine are terrorist states. Israel is just more successful at it.

      Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas on earth. Israel is trying very hard to avoid civilian casualties but they are fighting against cowards who hide they weapons (and their militant leaders) in hospitals, schools, kindergardens and mosques.

        Yep. Exactly like I said. They're both terrorist states. Israel is just better at it.
