If the participants were at all honest, they would demand that the hostages be released and Hamas disband. But they won’t do that and they won’t discuss the murder and rape that took place on October 7 or the years of unprovoked rocket attacks on Israel before that.
> unprovoked
Not unprovoked whatsoever. Hamas' terrorism is what Israeli politicians chose, instead of recognizing PLO leadership: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas
American sentiment towards Israel is eroding yes, but due to ignorance and anti semitism, not some kind of moral high ground. Hamas’s terrorism is a result of their own people’s choices.
I thought Israel was "the only democracy in the Middle East"? I see this is quickly forgotten when convenient.
Besides, Israel us a democracy and at this point people sees and understands that whatever crime Hamas is responsible for, Israel has perpetrated it first and tens or hundreds of times more.
But only after the CIA and Mossad overthrew Iranian democracy and installed SAVAK as a torture cell to massacre any dissenters.
lol. How does this work, exactly? Who is the historic owner of the land your house stands on?
Jewish people lived in that region before any other groups from today did. There’s no controversy around this - it is broadly recognized historical fact.
First of all, what exactly is a "jewish people"? People who obey the jewish god? People who say they do? People who self-identify as jewish? People who were born in a specific region of the world?
And once we've sufficiently pinned down the definition of "jewish people" in the year 100 b.c.e, you need to demonstrate what relationship those people have with people living in the year 2025 c.e. Are they supposed to be like, the great-great-great etc grand children or something?
And beyond that, why would it even matter if they were? Even if you could somehow time travel and come up with some kind of direct meaningful chain of ancestry from someone who lived in israel-region 2000 years ago and someone who moved to israel-region in the year 1950 or whatever, why would it matter?
Every single human currently on earth is the child of someone, who is the child of someone else, all of which goes back literally the entirety of human history, are we supposed to trace all of our ancestries and lay claim to things that people we share genetics with from 2000 years ago also owned?
And why do we stop our historical tracing at a specific time period? Why do we trace back this history to the time when there was a jewish kingdom in the region and then stop right there? Why don't we go back before that? What about the people who originally owned the land before the jewish kingdom did? Are they allowed to show up and claim israel for themselves?
