And yet one side is committing genocide.
- suzzer99 8mo agoAnd one side started it by killing 1,200 civilians and kidnapping 250. Which doesn't justify genocide. But it does factor into the response when one side is governed by a death cult that has no problem letting scores of their own civilians die if it furthers their cause.
- Vasbarlog 8mo agoOh, I didn’t know that the whole conflict started on October 6th. One side is governed by a death cult for sure, if you look at how many children they indiscriminately kill.
- mhb 8mo agoWhen do you suppose the conflict started?
- Vasbarlog 8mo agoWhen the first Israeli settler stole the home of a Palestinian.

- moi2388 8mo agoIn the 1947 Palestinian civil war, and they have been attacking and trying to destroy Israel ever since? Also look at what they did in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan. Palestinians, Hamas and Hezbollah are not the good guys here. Not saying Israel is all good either, but let’s put it this way. Where would you want your wife or children to live if given the chance? You can live as a Muslim in Israel, you can’t live as a Christian or Jew in Palestine.
- tovej 8mo agoHoly misinformation. 1) Israel attacked Arab Palestine and the neighboring Arab states first, in plan Dalet. 2) Christians and Jews absolutely can live in Palestine. They were afforded that in the Ottoman empire (the Dhimmi) and they are afforded that now. 3) Muslims do not get to govern themselves in Israel. Every other religions can choose their own representatives in official matter, but Islam gets a token person selected by the Israeli state.

Add to this, Amira Haas (Jewish, anti-Zionist Haaretz journalist) lives in Ramallah. There was also a Palestinian man who converted to Judaism living in the West Bank, but he was killed... by the IDF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_David_Ben_Avraham https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_David_Ben_Avraham
- moxifly7 8mo agoThis is so disingenuous, the poster clearly has no clue what he's talking about. Local Christian communities have been living amongst Muslims there for centuries and continue to do so under Israeli occupation. About 25% of the population that calls themselves Palestinian are Christians, and are treated the same as Muslims by Israel, that is as second class citizens at best inside the Green Line and targets for ethnic cleansing outside of it. Scores of foreign Christians and Jews go stay in Palestinian towns and villages in the West Bank to provide some amount of protection to the Palestinian Muslims and Christians there. They are encouraged and welcome to come stay among them by Palestinians.
- moi2388 8mo agoRight. Thats what happened in Jordan and Lebanon right? Damour massacre in Lebanon for example? Black September and Jordan civil war? Christian percentage went from 10% to 1% in Palestine. Parliament has 120 seats, 15 of which for Muslims, and Muslims have full rights. Sorry, ya’ll are delusional if you think you have better life and more rights as a Christian in a Muslim country than a Muslim in Israel or a European country.

- manyaoman 8mo agoI don't think Hamas started it, but they definitely escalated it.

- incahoots 8mo agoHere I thought leaving reddit would provide a break of low quality bait, yet here we are.
- Vasbarlog 8mo agoExactly! Wtf
- Vasbarlog 8mo agoWhat Israel is doing is genocide. The International Association of Genocide Scholars say so https://genocidescholars.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IAGS-Resolution-on-Gaza-FINAL.pdf https://genocidescholars.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IAGS... . Is there anyone who is arguing, in ”good faith” as you say, that the atrocities of October 7th were a genocide?
- thenaturalist 8mo agoAh, the association where anyone paying a 30 USD annual fee can become a member...
- Vasbarlog 8mo agoDo you have a better authority that says otherwise?
- TurdF3rguson 8mo agoThat was about a month before the ceasefire. I'm sure we're all very happy that's it's no longer the case.
- tovej 8mo agoThe genocide still continues. They are still killing people, and are not letting people return to Gaza.
- khazhoux 8mo agoAnd the other side just. won’t. stop. attacking. That’s really the problem, innit? Palestine can’t stop poking, Israel overreact. 20 GOTO 10.
- Vasbarlog 8mo agoYou could say that about Israel too you know. The other side just. Won’t. Stop. Attacking. Israelis can’t stop sniping children.
