And you're pretending that because you know more about the history, that somehow excuses your position. You're defending terrorists that shoot and burn babies. You're defending terrorism. What an awful person you are. Israel didn't declare war on Palestine, they declared war on Hamas. If you insist that Palestine == Hamas, then you make an argument why Palestinians should be destroyed, however, it was you who said it, not me. There can be no two-state solution, because Hamas will be there. There can be no one-state solution, because Hamas will be there. You know that. So you're demanding that Israel go back to living with the constant threat of insurgent attacks, of rockets endlessly launched at them. What an easy thing to type on the internet from your armchair keyboard. It's not you who has to live that way. Every pro-palestine propoganda piece I've heard on this thread is simultaneously a call to destroy all Jews and israel. If you insist they be destroyed, of course Israel will defend itself.
