    Are you kidding me? You think that if Israel left the West bank and Gaza alone that Hamas and Hezbollah would stop attacking them? Am I misunderstanding you right now? Please say yes.

      No, I’m sure you’re right and children in Gaza are just born evil with rocket launchers in their hands. I’m sure their disposition towards Israel is in no way the fault of religious Zionists in Israel who describe them as animals and treat them as such. I’m sure Hamas and Hezbollah would still be able to convince the children of Gaza to sign up to to launch rockets at Israel even if those children had adequate access to food, water, trade, and sovereignty.

      Oh wait, actually that’s total bullshit that makes no sense and you know it. You know Israel is either fully or partially to blame for the conditions that make it so easy for terrorist groups to recruit these people. If a bunch of religious zealots showed up to take my land and kill my family, I’d be the first one to shove a rocket up your ass too.

        You do think that they would stop attacking. I cannot imagine being that naive. Dude you’re advocating for religious zealots that wish for the death of an entire ethnicity.

        Do you think that Christian children in the deep South with grow up to be loving and tolerant of gay people because they aren’t being actively harmed by them? Or does history teach us that generational hate that is taught by their parents - unless challenged at an early age - will make them just as hateful as the people that raised them?

        We don’t live in some asinine world where everyone plays by the golden rule. If you genuinely think that these terrorist groups would change their tune if Israel just left the West bank and Gaza or even started actively supporting a two state solution then I have an incredible bridge to sell you.

          It would be so nice to live in this black and white world that you and the extremists both live in. To the rest of the world, the religious Zionists and Hamas are BOTH religious zealots that wish for the death of an entire ethnicity.

          I’m not advocating for Hamas or Zionists, I’d like the US government to stop supporting genocide. It seems like a pretty simple concept that Israelis don’t understand.

          If you have a group of desperate people with nothing to lose, those people are easy to recruit by terrorists.
