If the Palestinians agreed to put down their weapons, Israel would too. If the Israelis put down their weapons, the Arabs would kill every man, woman, and child in Israel.
Israel isnt perfect. But they aren’t the instigator, either.
Judging the morality of each side in a conflict, by the number of fatalities inflicted
upon the enemy. that’s some
sound logic there, boy.

But they are the instigator.
Fifty three years ago, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 242. The resolution is used as a framework for implementing the two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
But since its adoption in 1967, Israel has violated the resolution by entrenching its occupation of the Palestinian territories through illegal settlements.
600,000 - 750,000
Illegal settlers in the occupied Palestinian territories
150
Settlements
119
Outposts
42%
Of West Bank land controlled by settlements
86%
Of East Jerusalem for Israeli state and settler use
The majority of settlements have been built either entirely or partially on private Palestinian property.
Floridaman legitimized it.
If you were a Palestinian, would you fight or concede?
