    One day? There have been countless atrocities committed against Israel over the last 100 years. Israel has the Iron Dome because rockets have been fired at them routinely. Those rockets are inaccurate; the chances of them hitting military targets and not civilians is low.

    Israel is completely justified in wanting to retaliate. Retaliating against civilians is a completely different matter, however. Especially civilians who are completely powerless in almost every sense of the word.

      98% of the deaths in the so-called “conflict” have been inflicted by the Israelis against the Palestinians. This is not a complicated issue - one side has all of the money and all of the weapons and all of the international support and has full control over when the “conflict” ends, and they choose to extend it.

        That is precisely why I think it’s important not to make exaggerated claims that can easily be refuted. Israel will claim that the calls for them to stop come from liars. The established facts are damning by themselves, so let’s stick to those.
