• I mean, Israel has killed significantly more people in Gaza than Hamas ever did in Israel. In the most recent conflict Israel killed 35 Palestinians for every Israeli killed. Israel has also caused significantly more property damage to civilian infrastructure.

    I would not want to live under Hamas control, certainly. But I also would not like to live next to Israel either.

    What statistic are you using to measure “worst” here?

      Well first off I wouldn’t be picking a fight I knew I could NEVER win ( Hint, Palestine wasn’t there when Israel was created so that is Israel’s land) And B this most recent war was all started by Hamas. Israel is going to finish it once and for all from the river to the sea. Oh and there is this:

      No Prior Arab State: There has never been an independent, sovereign Arab state in the region known as Palestine. The Arab population began developing a distinct Palestinian national identity toward the end of the Ottoman period and especially during the British Mandate in opposition to Jewish immigration and British rule.

        Israel wasn’t there when Israel was created either. This is some nonsense argumentation.

        And B this most recent war was all started by Hamas.

        Hamas has been in armed conflict with Israel for decades. I think you’re confusing peace with quiet. And even then there have been repeated attacks on Palestinian land by Israeli settlers.

        Neither had there been a sovereign, independent Jewish state. There was however a semblence of a Palestinian national identity near the end of the Ottoman period, which is well before the establishment of Israel. Regardless, there were plenty of Arabic people living there. Zionist settlers had no right to colonise the region and drive these people from their homes.

        You should really look into how Israel was established, especially look at the large amounts of Zionist terrorist groups seeking to commit ethnic cleansing. Jews had lived relatively peacefully in the region for centuries until these nationalist fanatics came along.
