When do we consider the "start" of this violence then? 70 years ago when Israel subjugated Palestine? 1980 when the army started killing doctors and children? 2009, using white phosphorus grenades?
No matter how you spin this, Israel started this conflict. Palestinians lived in this area for far longer and before Israel was even a nation-state.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
The eye for the eye is not what unfolds right now. "We were wrong at assuming we may live peacefully together and at our ability to defend from your terrorism adequately, so we are now in the process to remove all of your terrorism" it is.
Either you’re ignorant or you’re intentionally being dishonest if you’re saying this.
Yeah you can skip that part if you don't like the wording. Peace is the absence of war.
And one side has been subjugating the other and committing war crimes for almost 80 years…
You mean Israel? And you also mean those war crimes were totally unprovoked by terrorist attacks?
You mean Palestine? And you also mean those war crimes that were totally unprovoked by an occupation, subjugation, and slaughter of so many of them that more than half are under the age of 18?
You’re dealing with two sides of the same coin.
One of the sides does not paint itself blood by killing civilians, telling children to do terrorism and be happy about it though.
You’re an idiot. One side has killed far more children than the other. It’s not even a close comparison.
Does any math like that enable another side do anything like what they did at October 7th and assume it will not lead to further escalation?
Does any math enable further escalation from Palestine based on the attacks and subjugation from Israel?
Sorry what? Maths don't enable any escalation. Actions do.
