    It all started the moment they stole the land in 1948

    That’s a fucking stupid start date.

    It all started when the Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1917. The breakup of the empire leads to the modern Middle East crisis. Part of the deal from WW1 was Britain’s plan for the former Ottomans. Yes, it involves Israel and Palestine. It also involves a bunch of other things.

    Palestine always was under another state. Yes, It was a Muslim Controlled Empire of the past few centuries, but that power doesn’t exist anymore.

    Israel is stealing more land and homes and on a daily basis

    Like all the settlers they removed from Gaza in 2005 and all the soldiers they removed?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_disengagement_from_Gaza

    This is fucking why Gaza vs West Bank matters dude. Gaza is the side the Israeli’s left and returned. To be attacked from “this side” is a huge deal from the perspective of the greater Palestinians vs Israel conflict… and for those who want peace in this region. Hamas has shattered the peace in a way that seemingly cannot be put back together.


    Just 6 months ago, Israel was far more focused on West Bank issues than Gaza. Or have you forgotten? Its like history of the last 15 years is completely missing from your understanding, and you are choosing exceptionally weird dates (wtf? 1948 ain’t even the start of the Israel plan. Why the fuck are you choosing this date historically? Most people would choose Balfour Declaration or some shit).

      You seem not to be able to discuss without being rude, it seems.

      It is not a “stupid start date” is the start date that Israel became Israel and stole the land from the Palestinian people.

      Since you are not able to discuss with manners, I refuse to explain anything further.

      If anyone else wants to pick up the discussing from here with me on a nice manner, I’ll give counter arguments to this persons claim.

        So you really don’t know what the Balfour Declaration was, who the Ottomans were, the end of WW1 or any of that?

        Fine, whatever. Figure it out yourself.

            I stand by what I said before.

            1948 is a stupid start date for understanding this problem. The Israeli state was promised by the British in 1917, years before the British took over the region of Palestine. Deal with it. Before the founding of Mandatory Palestine of 1920 (which only existed as a piecemeal state the British took over after the Ottoman collapse), Britain already had plans for Israel.

            History is a wee bit deeper than you might think it seems. Balfour Declaration is rather significant to the discussion, and your avoidance of the subject is quite telling. The plans for Israeli settlement were laid out nearly three decades before 1948.
