filister@lemmy.world 1 year agoEvery sane person just reading the news of what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank can make their own conclusions. If you really value human life no matter the religion, ethnicity or skin colour you can see a clear pattern.

Really? What we have in the news these days is published by the conflict parties, independent verification is almost never possible.

I don’t need the exact numbers to know how bad the situation is. I have a couple of questions for you:
I also want Hamas gone, but don’t think this is the way.

Yes, there is all that. As I said, I think Netanyahu and his bunch belong in jail, not in power.
But when this guy is out of the way, here’s a few more questions to consider:
What are, positively speaking, Israels options? What should a moderate follower of Netanyahu do to achieve some sort of piece? I’m lost here. Do you have any ideas other than saying “not this way”?

By being involved in a constructive dialogue, ready to make concessions, outlining a plan to withdraw some Israeli settlements in the West bank, giving more autonomy to Palestine, active persecution of settlers, who are violently attacking Palestinians in the West bank. No double standards in their treatment. In exchange for peaceful disarmament of Palestinians and power transition to PA, but also disarmament of settlers. Removal of some of the checkpoints, outlining a plan of removal of more checkpoints if certain criteria are met. Reconstruction of Gaza.
And tell me how restricting water and food in Gaza helps IDF, I can to certain point understand the fuel ban and to a lesser extent the electricity ban, but food and water are essential for every human being and limiting them is a human rights violation.
Unfortunately at this point there is a lot of bad blood on both sides and this is definitely not a good start.
