Are you sure it's not the decision of the people attacking them?
Note that I'm being intentionally vague to point out how silly your statement is.
Your point doesn't make any sense because the people doing the attacking are the ones that I'm accusing of choosing violence and hatred. So your comment could be rewritten as:
Yeah that makes sense!
As well, my point was aimed at both sides since both the Israelis and Palestinians are acting out of hatred for each other and this insanity will never end as long as both parties continue to behave this way.
As long as the Palestinians continue to allow Hamas to launch terrorist attacks from Palestinian neighborhoods into Israel, Israel will continue to treat Palestinians as terrorists and bomb their neighborhoods.
Conversely:
As long as Israel continues to treat Palestinians as terrorists and bomb their neighborhoods, Palestinians will continue to allow Hamas to launch terrorist attacks from Palestinian neighborhoods into Israel.
See the problem? This will never end.
If they're being attacked, then they're not the ones choosing violence and hatred. They are reacting to the violence and hatred being done to them.
Exactly what everyone is pointing out and why you're being downvoted. Your statement was meaningless since both sides would need to choose to stop and that still wouldn't resolve the conflict.
No shit Sherlock
Reacting how? With violence? And hatred? So your rebuttal is:
That's just brilliant!
No I'm pretty certain the vast majority of people are choosing one side over the other and are NOT pointing out that both sides share some responsibility
