See my other comments. I'm not defending them either.

I am defending facts and stating there is no moral high ground.

So that's ok then?

Yes I am aware of the full history of the Middle East back to the middle ages...

The problem really kicked off after the Ottoman reform (Tanzimat) period.

Oh no they are a rotten old pigeon as well and I don't disagree.

What I object to is the "freedom fighters" being painted with moral virtue when they are raping murdering bastards.

No I didn't.

Your second point literally makes no sense and is based on the straw man that babies are holding guns where I made no point even related to that or collateral kills (which are unacceptable). Secondarily my point is based on internationally legal definitions of combatant and evidenced with a video of combatants being trained. Not like the UN and UNICEF haven't been all over this for decades.

Don't use child soldiers and you won't get statistically significant child casualties.

As we're talking absolutes clearly, was the Nova music festival massacre justified resistance?

Nakba - Entirely the result of Ottoman foreign policy, WW1, WW2, League of Nations being a total fuck up.

Suez Crisis - Egypt being dicks

Six Day War - attacked from all sides.

Bit of a contrast, no?

Yeah remember when they left Gaza in 2005. What happened then?

The only productive solution is to get rid of all religious ideology out there (both sides).

Good luck.

Ballistic rockets and massacring people at music festivals don't either.

There's no moral high ground here so don't even pretend there is one.

Israel remembers the Six-Day War...

This comment is exactly why there is no hope out there. Literally zero understanding of middle-Eastern geopolitics other than trite slogans.

Come on. Do you think everyone is going to suddenly start holding hands and singing kumbaya? Or more realistically, like nearly every other surrounding state it'll be the elimination and exodus of Jews and Israelis?
