Lol at the moral righteousness brigade applauding settler death. The same posters that cry whenever a western force makes a fuckup, advocating literal warcrimes.

Because Im pretty sure settlers are legally still civilians even if the act of population transfer is a international crime.

Anyways gently caress Israël/palestine, it should be bottom of the list of international issues. Inconsequential shitholes, if it weren't for dumb religious interest.

No one here is advocating war crimes, hth.

wait except the guy who said nuke israel, but I think he probably realises that in earnestness that would not be a legitimate suggestion

I'd love to hear your explanation for what metric you used to determine that palestine is "inconsequential", though

I am incredibly stupid
tbf settlers deserve everything they get just like people going out murdering native americans on the frontier deserved everything they got

not the women and children but if youre part of an armed pseudo national group actively involved in the annexation and occupation of a foreign country and the expulsion of its people you dont really fit the traditional definition of civilian just because you happen to not bother wearing uniforms

Well to be fair. Syria is much more important then the I/P conflict these days. How that turns out will decide the future of the middle east. But the I/P thing could down either way without changing too much.
Who cares about the palestinians? Not the arab leaders who just use their pligth as a rethrocial device to deflect criticism against themselves. Turkey cares somewhat but they got bigger fish to try rigth now. The same can be said about Iran. The US will never stop supporting Israel and asking the EU to really give a drat about a bunch of muslims is a tall order. We care just enough to maybe implement some sanction, time will tell if that actually happens or not

So in the eyes of the rest of the world the I/P conflict is a bit inconsequential, it`s not something that can be entirely ignored but it`s not considered super important either. Certainly i have never personally cared all that much.

the difference between killing settlers and killing doctors without borders is that settlers deserve to die

it is unsettling to see a photo like this without an american flag be burned in it somewhere

neurologists have found that the brain struggles vainly to construct the form of an american flag from the pallets, sometimes inducing seizures in the viewing subjects

Someday Israel will have Falafal Frank Wild Wild Zionism show where millions in Israel and around the world are mystified by what was once the mystical, one-with-nature Palestinians and how they attacked Israeli Settlers in covered wagons, while shouting war whoops, as Islam has long since gone extinct and the only record remaining was some kind of pitch shriek on the part of its ancient practitioners.

Pretty much this.

There are lots of videos of MSF doctors helping people, and lots of videos of Settlers spitting on people because they are wrong race.

hmmm ya it's not as if there are a bunch of poor trapped people living there, who are being ethnically cleansed by strangulation instead of catastrophic annihilation.

but nevertheless it's an inconsequential shithole and gently caress it, "for religious reasons."

i'm pretty sure at this point the palestinians don't care that the israelis are jews, they just don't want to be slowly erased.

It was actually a hilarious foreign policy blunder, lots of smart leaders like George C Marshall thought it would be really bad to support the newly formed Israel but in the end the pro-recognition faction won out in the state department.

assuming that I'm willing to grant that "inconsequential" means "not literally the single most important issue on the planet", you still haven't told me what metric you're using

Look at all those young men with nothing to do ! Why don't they "zerg rush" an Israeli outpost and get all the weapons? Dozens would die doing it, but at least they would have something more than rocks and lovely molotovs.
If you're gonna martyr yourself at least think it through
