Israel is stocked with chemical weaponry and the most advanced technology (paid for with Americans' money), but THEY'RE the ones "who need to protect themselves" as they continue to force Palestinians with rocks and shoddy rockets into small, unlivable pieces of land?  |
If Gaza only has rocks and shoddy rockets, why not just stop attacking Israel?
Oh, of course, they voted in a party whose core goal is the destruction of the state of Israel.

I'm sorry but comparing those 2 events is completely ignorant
There is NOTHING similar! Does Israel send Muslims in trains to concentration camp? killing them off by gas showers, starving them, raping them etc etc..? The only event that happened since the holocaust this is comparable in the slightest is what is happening in Syria right now (btw what about that EU huh?)

Why do you always try to deflect what people say? I CLEARLY stated that only the early stages are similar. I CLEARLY stated that Israel hasn't industrially killed Palestinians like Germans killed Jews with the gas chambers. What is certainly similar is how the Nazi forced the jews into ghettos like Israel is doing with Palestinians. The size obviously isn't the same at all and don't you dare try to make me look like saying that I am reducing how horrible the Industrial death machine that was the Gaz chambers were.

Actually, I am. I am entitled to any opinion I have an I am entitled to express it.
Contrary to your belief, though, I have studied this conflict in detail for many years, with sources from all sides of the debate. I'm not uninformed, sweetie, I research.

That hasn't stopped Israel from using their chemical weapons before, as seen in the link I provided a page or so ago. Not to mention, the other Middle Eastern countries that have nuclear weapons can't use them (on Israel, hypothetically) without being affected by it either. Yet they're painted as evil warmongers and Israel needs to be protected at all costs. Nuclear and chemical weapons are evil period, no matter who has them.

You are uninformed because you have never experienced the astronomical destruction that happens to your country once it's colonized. You don't know what it feels like.
and I can't believe you just said you are entitled to uninformed opinions

Of course, it is called freedom of speech. It just so happens I was educated at Cambridge, however, so I would never allow myself to have an uninformed opinion.
Either way, you are resorting to the 'you haven't experienced it' argument because you are fighting a losing battle.

I am most certainly not. I am not interested in arguing with you, I already stated that.

So many people lamenting Jewish settlements and throwing around the term "invasion" and forgetting about the Palestinian settlements in Jordan in the 70s unti Hussein massacred them and showed them the door. He got a lot of clack for that too, of course, but I wonder, were those Palestinian settlements legal?

The UN is finally correcting their mistake after stealing the land from Palestine in 1947.
It seems that at least diplomatically we are becoming more human after all

Nah, Obama was just mad because Netanyahu ran to Trump and the both of them made PR saying how the resolution should be vetoed leaving Obama no choice but to abstain.
Obama vetoed the same exact resolution in 2011 : http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.as...2#.WF6uxLxPO8U
Pretty transparent right ? Don't get your hopes up.

Reading this thread, a lot of you are saying that the settlements are illegal. But how can they be illegal, if they are not illegal according to international law?
According to the Genova convention, an occupied zone is a zone that was occupied from another state, and since the Palestinian state never existed, its rules don't apply there.
