It’s not a complicated “conflict”. Its obviously a genocide. Liberals who say both sides are to blame are participating in the massacres of Palestinians. It doesn’t matter if hamas killed any number of Israelis. The so-called crimes that the Palestinians committed can never be equal to the crimes of their oppressors. Especially when their oppressors are killing them with a clear intent of genocide. It is disgusting that zionists hide behind their religion to justify what they do. All the liberals who defend them should get the wall.

    No they aren’t.

    They lack one of the four primary distinctions that make any country a country. They lack sovereignty over the land they control and occupy. An occupation is not a country, and much of the world recognizes that either Palestine and Israel but hold sovereignty, or Palestine holds sole sovereignty, the Israeli position is to shaky to be definitively stated as such.

    For example, the United States also falls under this classification of being a settler colony, but they are still a country in that they satisfy all four requirements to be considered one. No matter how morally unethical the process was to accomplish those 4 main requirements were.

    Israel can’t even do that.

          well they are in the UN so I’m not the only one to think they are a country

          Also I don’t understand why we are calling them not a country it doesn’t make any difference to anything call them a bloody cup if you want it doesn’t change the reality of the situation that they are a settler colonialist state built on theft and murder

            They are in the UN because it aligns with western interests. Being on the UN doesn’t make you a legitimate country, and they can change their mind all the time.

            Same as what happened with Taiwan and it no longer being considered a real country by the UN.

            Is Taiwan a country? They check your boxes. The UN doesn’t think so though.

            If one believes that their mind is all that is real or matters, then they are disconnected from reality.

            Also thinking your mind is right is one of the most goofy statements, because that implies everyone else is always wrong lol.
