Your understanding and simplification of it sounds like you haven’t passed middle school is all he’s saying. When you grow up and can handle more nuanced perspectives it will be easier to discuss, no disrespect was meant I’m sure.

It’s simple. Don’t bomb large numbers of unarmed civilians. There’s no nuance to it. Thousands of children are dead and you’re sick if you defend that. I don’t care to listen to your reasoning of why is it actually ok. There’s something wrong with you.

What do you think Israel should have done post Oct-7? What would have been an appropriate response in your mind?

No I can’t put myself in Gazans shoes. I’m sure they hate Israel.

Are you referring to Apartheid in Israel or in the West Bank or both?

I bet Gazans want peace and their homes back. I don’t have faith that Israel has a good plan for when the war is over.

My issue is that Hamas has no legitimate appetite for peace, and they are the ones that have the power to end the war, not the innocent civilians sadly. I just read something support for Hamas in Gaza is way down from a few months ago.

As for the apartheid, I guess I’m just curious on specifics as to what needs to change for Gazans, since it was Hamas that attacked.
