Resolutions to the conflicts Israel has with its neighbors are complicated for many reasons. Lasting peace requires a willingness to compromise and to stick to agreements made, which is extremely difficult politically. The moral questions are not that difficult. Do Jewish and Palestinian people have a right to live in their holy land? Yes. Do they have the right to unlawfully occupy land, murder or terrorize or torture their neighbors? No.
- gryzzly 2y agoboth sides will say they "murder" or "terrorise" as a defence. that’s where the moral question comes from and proving "who shot first" etc.
- gizmo 2y agoYou can't prove "who shot first" because the answer depends entirely on where history starts. People who want to argue about unanswerable questions like these don't want peace. They just seek justifications for further bloodshed. The actual moral questions are not difficult if you believe a Palestinian life is worth as much as any other life.
- gryzzly 2y agoIsrael has “new historians”, legit society polarisation due to its conduct and handling of the conflict, and over 500.000 demonstrations against Netanyahu’s demonic government. What do Palestinians have that shows their will to believe an Israeli life is worth as much as any other life? (and Palestinian lives also, especially their children’s)
