Had a conversation about the protests where this guy basically said all the shootings were justified because Israel has a right to protect it's borders and those killed were all Hamas members. Argued with him for a bit before he straight up said that there's nothing that would stop him from supporting Israel.

The few younger Jews I've discussed Palestine with have been mixed on the issue. I'd say about half were indifferent and the other half were incredibly racist and reactionary. I would broadly describe all of them as "liberal" outside if this issue though.

BDS is war, but gunning down unarmed civilians is ok because they might have voted for the wrong people more than a decade ago.

I love how, by default, Israeli concern about having to share power with other ethnic groups is deemed reasonable, but Palestinian concern about having more or less no political power at all is "too demanding".

emanresu tnuocca posted:It's understandable why some would think letting every member of a certain ethnic group migrate freely to some territory already occupied by members of another ethnicity lead to large scale ethnic cleansing, after all that's what happened in 1948. You're justifying ethnic cleansing because you're worried ethnic cleansing might happen if you don't

You can argue that Israel doesn't have an explicit endgame but it's pretty clear they do. They will continue to support settlements fairly directly while pressing the boot harder and harder on the throat of the Palestinians until none are left. The status quo right now is the Israeli endgame.

VideoGameVet posted:It won't work. Stunts like "Spectators Watching Unarmed Palestinians Getting Shot" will drive more and more people into the "Israelis are Monsters" camp and eventually, the world (and the USA) will turn against them. At this point I don't see how it matters if the world turns against them. They absolutely do not need the US to subsidize their military at this point and I don't see what else can really be done.

Main Paineframe posted:Hamas alone can't muster tens of thousands of civilians to charge into literal loving gunfire from uniformed troops. This is grassroots. And where have you read about the protesters having guns? I haven't seen any mention of that. The repated assertion that Gazans are mindless puppets of Hamas is insanely racist too.

Main Paineframe posted:The only reason there was even an election in the first place was because the pro-peace Prime Minister was assassinated by right-wing extremists for signing a peace deal, which directly led to Netanyahu gutting Oslo, because Israeli right-wing ethnonationalists are the ones who benefit the most (by far) from Gaza being in misery and permanent war. Putting the blame for Israel's deliberate undermining of the Oslo Accords on Hamas is downright ridiculous. Why is it that Israel is never responsible for its own actions? I also want to point out that even the "pro-peace" Prime Minister believed that the settlements were necessary.

Kim Jong Il posted:That's not what I meant. The large settlement blocs are legal *under Israeli law*, and most of them Israel will likely keep the bulk of them in any deal via land swaps. Hopefully not Ariel though. I'm talking about the random outposts which are a handful of people in trailers that an overwhelming majority of Israelis despise. It's so weird how Israel hasn't even attempted to offer these terms in almost twenty years. I'm.sure the political timing just isn't right.
