Seun, yours was a very emotional piece, your bias towards the Palestinians was not very hidden though. I have learned in my few decades on Earth that nothing is what it seems.
The Hamas leaders played right into the Israeli's hand and what they suffer now is the result of their arrogance. I believe it was all a part of a big plan to evade Palestine, else,
1. Why did the iron dome fail
2. Why wasn't there any response from the IDF in about 4 hours of murder and torture
3. Why wasn't any resistance at the party, 'cause every adult Israeli is a trained soldier (male and female)
In all you wrote, you did not mention what a "fair response" from the IDF would have been for the criminality carried out on their land.
lets have this debate

FiftyFifty:


I was only challenging the miscontrued facts- the repeatedly told lies that the Palestinians have rejected the 2SS many times, and stopping there. The devil in every deal is in the details. Why would the Palestinians aggree to accept a country without having control over its air space, sea, water resources, border, a country that will not have its army? Who will accept a country that can only establish a bilateral relations with another country subject to the approval of a third country (Israel)? Not to even mention the percentage of the land given. Come on dude! You can't be more pro-israel than its then Foreign Affairs minister Shilome ben-Ali who said that the Palestinians have only done what everyone would do. He would have said except you- maybe. Anyone who thinks this is nonsensical then I'm afraid he should have his head properly examined.

What made you think I am pro Israel or not? Why are you jumping from one assumption to the next. I specifically mentioned the 1947 UN resolution in the my comment which you attacked as a lie even after providing you further evidence.
Why can't you be humble enough to admit you were wrong.
Rather than apologize for accusing me of peddling falsehood you kept on with your crass ignorance and insults.

1. Sack all the failures who allowed the attack to happen despite having the plan and receiving warnings from Egypt and female spotters.

2. Close all the loopholes that Hamas exploited to get into Israel. Secure the borders of your country from your hostile neighbour.

3. In going after Hamas, make a clear distinction between Hamas fighters and civilians. Don't destroy homes just to make civilians feel bad. Don't cut off food, water and medication. Don't call them human animals or Amalekites. Don't kill entire families. Try to be surgical.

They saw Hamas fighters training to attack them in the open, and did nothing. Now they are killing innocent civilians. It should have been the other way round.

4. Go after the fighters and the people they report to when you have the opportunity to do so with minimal collateral damage, Take your time and do it right. The problem is not what they say that they are doing (going after Hamas) but how they are doing it (indiscriminate bombing and shooting everything that moves) and why they are doing it (rage & revenge).

What happened to Israel on October 7 was a war crime; it wasn't terrorism. Israel says that they gave Gaza to Palestinians as a state. Hamas is the government of that state. Israel seems to be their enemy. So their attack was an act of war and the atrocities were war crimes.

1. Why did the iron dome fail
Hamas started the attack by shooting thousands of rockets simultaneously to overwhelm the iron dome. The US had to replenish their supply soon afterwards. The Iron dome's weakness is its cost. Interceptors cost way more than Hamas rockets, and are more limited in supply.

2. Why wasn't there any response from the IDF in about 4 hours of murder and torture
Their telecommunications infrastructure was destroyed by drones in the beginning. They didn't have a full picture of what was going on. The soldiers that responded went in blind from town to town, and fought the invaders as they encountered them. There was a sea attack too,

3. Why wasn't any resistance at the party, 'cause every adult Israeli is a trained soldier (male and female)
They did not bring their guns to the party. Many Israeli soldiers lost their lives due to lack of weapons. The female spotters were massacred.

It is true that Netanyahu is capable of intentionally manipulating the military to divert resources away from the leftist south in order to have an excuse to pound Gaza. If he did, then he needs to be sacked for deliberately putting his country's women and children through hell.

1. There are currently protesters in Israel, calling for the resignation of Netanyahu, and all in charge of security. This will not happen because it was all a part of an agenda. And the Palestinians played right into it.

2. It is almost impossible to achieve this. Israel has the 4th largest military in the world and Hamas did not need any sophisticated equipment to infiltrate. They came in paragliders. It was as simple as standing on any tall building in Palestine and jump into Israel.

3. How do you differentiate between a people who don't want to be. The civilians actively hide and protect the fighters. They don't wear any special uniforms or gears. The Hamas fighters come out off the tunnels, shoot their pipe bombs and run back. That is their war plan in a nutshell. "Wear them out". Their hideouts are schools and hospitals. Children are their shields. How do you fight fair with a gunman shooting at you from behind a 10-year-old? As much as I abhor wars, I believe we all have a responsibility and duty to stay alive by all means necessary. As much as it saddens me to say this, all is fair in war. Nigeria employed the hunger tactic during her civil war. Maybe if she didn't we would be telling a different story.

Hopefully, sometime in the future, some blacks from Haiti, Cuba, Guyana, America, etc find the support of some superpower to establish a state for themselves in their 'original' land in Africa. The superpower will do anything to see them migrate because it is 'tired of their drugs and crimes '.

Hopefully they choose fertile areas of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Anambra and Abia and push the current inhabitants to bakassi or somewhere by power of force... bulldozing your homes and taking your lands and waters. The supporting superpower would do anything to ensure the new 'black nation' stands, because if it doesn't stand, the 'balcks' would be coming back with their 'drugs and crimes'.

Hopefully some people in other parts of the world label you terrorists for resisting people coming back to their roots, and who knows, they might also find some old scriptural text to justify your expulsion and killing...
Boom! Thank you, please the holier than thou people who worship the colonizers gods should come and answer this one, oh I forgot they are busy defending tb Joshua right now

The problem did not begin in oct 7th
God1000:
This conflict has exposed a lot of things and people as well.

I also condemned what Hamas did on October 7th but the response from Israel which has killed over 22,000 Palestinians and the insensitive and sadistic comments from some christians everyday is more shocking

How do you justify such massive deaths, destruction and displacement of the entire population just because of few Hamas

People with conscience should not be bystanders to history

I discovered a lot of people now dislike me because of my stance on this war, but I don't care

It will happen because right now they are suppressing investigations into the failures that led to the October 7 attack. When more information comes out about the extent to which the govt failed at all levels during official investigations, Netanyahu will have to go. Netanyahu's no Gree for Palestinians philosophy has been helped by the Hamas attack, but his viability as a politician is gone. His Likud party has sunk in the polls. Even the West wants him gone.

2. It is almost impossible to achieve this. Israel has the 4th largest military in the world and Hamas did not need any sophisticated equipment to infiltrate. They came in paragliders. It was as simple as standing on any tall building in Palestine and jump into Israel.
They had machine guns on the fence which could have shot down the paragliders, but the machine guns and the telecoms infrastructure used to deploy them were vulnerable to simple drones that dropped grenades on them. They knew that the Palestinians were planning to use drones to disable their defences for a whole year and failed or chose not to adequately fortify them.

We all ( or at least many of us ) know that humans beings died on October 7, 2023, not just Jews/israelis.
This was not anyone would like to happen to any group of men, women or children. Nonetheless, when memories go back to the atrocities that have been happening in that part of the world over the last 75 years, with the so-called civilized world looking the other way when Palestinian men, women and children were butchered, ignored, negated and described as " terrorists" when they were murdered by the thousands, the rest of us started looking at ourselves in a mirror, and asking: What if our lands were grabbed, our ordeal ignored, our men , women and children murdered over decades and decades, how would we act ? We even went from metaphysical to physical and asked " Let's consider the sun, is it shining for only one people or for all peoples ? no matter how restrictive this change of paradigm might sound to those who believe in the God of the Jews.
We at least know if the Jews think that the almighty God is only their God, then the Palestinians , as human beings just like the Jews, also have the right to say they are the Chosen People, because the sun does not sine for only one group of people, it shines for EVERYBODY, not withstanding the delusional ones who might think that sun is "their sun"
