How would it be a sign of respect for any victims of terrorism to give up protesting to save the lives of other victims of terrorism?

So @the-independent.co.uk it's not the US-Israeli plan to ethnically cleanse all Palestinians from Gaza that threatens the ceasefire?

That was a terrible attempt at diversion and lies. You said "Hamas attacked". As the figures plainly show, Israel has been attacking and murdering civilians
for decades, the Israeli far right having murdered Rabin as he sought peace, then choosing to fund Hamas into power to make peace impossible.

After years of Israel attacking and killing many many more. By all means attack Hamas but if civilian deaths are a problem for you, then you should be attacking Israel a hundred times harder.

Do you blame Israel for theft of land and the murder of tens of thousands for decades?

Nope. The war started decades ago. Israel is the subject of countless UN resolutions for its land grabs and illegal settlements. Tens of thousands have been murdered by Israel for decades. You lost this information war a long time ago.

Yes, every genocidal maniac in history has made similar claims as they invaded more and more land and slaughtered ever more children. You lost the information war and there's no going back.

Really? Then why can't you argue against it. Israel has stolen land for decades, slaughtered tens of thousands, is commiting genocide and the world knows it. It wasn't me who opened Pandora's box but if you think bots and the radicalised are going to close it again, you are sadly mistaken.

So you have a state that has murdered tens of thousands over decades, broken countless UN resolutions with theft of land, operates an apartheid regime, is currently commiting genocide and you want to talk about what happens if a school shooter existed on the other side? Get a grip.

Who's we and who's you. Israel in contravention of countless UN resolutions for its theft of land, so no - that won't wash. A colonising terrorist state commiting unbelievable attrocities over decades.

When you address tbe thousands dragged off the streets for nothing, the thousands murdered over decades, the decades of apartheid, the 12,000+ slaughtered kids this year, I'll address the relatively tiny number of kids who shot a weapon once.

So a minor who protests or throws rocks when his family are shot and killed should be incarcerated by a military court? Wow, you just have no idea of whag Palestinians have been living with for decades have you?

What should happen to a kid who proeststs after his family land is stolen, his parents killed or attacked by settlers who see zero punishment. The comparison with school shooters is ridiculous. Palestinians are dispossessed, colonised and a large number of those slaughtered regularly by Israel.

I couldn't care less. Hamas had experienced decades of the slaughter of unarmed Palestinians and theft of land. None of it is an excuse to hold civilians responsible. Israel *is*commiting genocide.

And the words of the President that there is no such thing as an innocent Palestinian just prior to the slaughter of 12,000 children. And Netanyahu evoking Amalek on the eve of that slaughter. This is, of course, genocidal intent with the evidence on the ground to support it.

The words of Israeli politicians and of the President itself strongly suggest intent. The definition isn't simply slaughter of a whole people but includes much of what we're seeing.
