Apparently I get my world news from the history books, here's a few examples you can look up:

• 1967 Israel takes control of the entire Sinai Peninsula

• 1971 Israel returns Sinai Peninsula to Egypt

• 1982 Israel invades Lebanon after attacks from militants

• 1983 - 1985 Israel slowly withdraws from most of southern Lebanon

• 2000 Israeli completes withdrawal from Lebanon

• 2005 Israel withdraws all military and civilians from the Gaza Strip and hands over control to the Palestinian Authority

• 2007 Hamas violently overthrew the PA in Gaza (bet you didn't cry about this)

• 2023 Israel withdraws from Jenin in the West Bank after invading

Never claimed otherwise. In fact, I literally mentioned Israel stealing land when I wrote:

their approach of taking tiny bites has been subtle enough to avoid causing repercussions, so they most likely just go back to doing that at a later date.

I guess that was too abstract?

Is this from Stargate?

Some already do

Not nice to associate autistic people with idiots like that.

You've never heard of it because in the industry it's referred to as "daugtism"

I totally agree. I think a separate internationally recognized Palestinian state is the only solution to keep Israel from encroaching on any more land than they have. That's been offered in the past but turned down by the Palestinians. A separate Palestinian state will also not prevent both sides from firing rockets at each other until the end of time.

If they're being attacked, then they're not the ones choosing violence and hatred.

No shit Sherlock

They are reacting to the violence and hatred being done to them.

Reacting how? With violence? And hatred? So your rebuttal is:

they're not "choosing" violence and hatred... they're "reacting" with violence and hatred

That's just brilliant!

Exactly what everyone is pointing out...

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

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:

Are you sure it's not the decision of the people attacking them to choose to attack them?

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.

Great points, but that doesn't stop Egypt from allowing food, water, humanitarian aid, etc from being brought into Gaza, but people talk like Israel has 100% control over Gaza's borders.

Besides, if Gaza and the West Bank were officially the state of Palestine, Israel would have no obligation to allow free passage between Israel and Palestine so it would basically be the same as it is now, although I'm assuming that right now there is also a naval blockade.
