"The continuing violence of Palestinians against Israelis" - This framing is just the manifestation of utter ignorance or of blatant bias. For those who are interested and want to construct their own opinion: [Genocidal Views: Israelis Speak Candidly About Palestinians]( link ) [Israeli Army Vet’s Exposé - “I Was the Terrorist”]( link ) [Irish MP reads out quotes made by Israeli Ministers]( link ) [If Americans Knew - What every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine]( link ) [Empire Files: How Palestine Became Colonized]( ▶ this video )
Let's see, am I going to believe the overwhelming amount of evidence or am I going to believe the guy that makes a baseless emotional claim denying the evidence. I think I will go with the former. If Israel is not a terrorist state, then there is no such thing as a terrorist state in the world: [Empire Files: How Palestine Became Colonized]( ▶ this video ) [Israeli Army Vet’s Exposé - “I Was the Terrorist”]( link ) ["The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Israeli scholar and historian Ilan Pappe]( link ) [If Americans Knew - What every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine]( link ) Israel is not only a terrorist state, but an apartheid state on top of that: link
> What are these acts of terrorism then? Sources please. [Empire Files: How Palestine Became Colonized]( ▶ this video ) [Israeli Army Vet’s Exposé - “I Was the Terrorist”]( link ) ["The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Israeli scholar and historian Ilan Pappe]( link ) [If Americans Knew - What every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine]( link ) It's quite amusing how you make baseless claim after baseless claim, then demand more evidence, besides the evidence you have already conveniently ignored. Your cognitive dissonance is actually quite mind boggling, you are the one "believing" in a narrative that is convenient for you, while we are the ones making judgments based on evidence, yet you accuse us of what you yourself are actually guilty of. Even the testimony of the ex-IDF solider testifying that his job was literally to terrorize Palestinians should suffice to refute your false claims, but you can't be bothered to process the evidence because it goes against your preconceived notions.
>Give me one example of that then. For the 4th time: [Empire Files: How Palestine Became Colonized]( ▶ this video ) Watch it, the documented evidence recorded about 1000x of the evidence you asked for. You keep asking for evidence just to ignore it and then absurdly keep asking for the evidence which has already been given, it's actual insanity. > I see Israel taking great care to avoid civilian casualties. Anyone who has studied this conflict knows this to be utterly false, even an outright lie. "Noam Chomsky: Israel’s Actions in Palestine are “Much Worse Than Apartheid” in South Africa" ( link ) >Hamas on the other hand fires rockets and mortars at residential areas. That latter is clearly terrorism. Israel does the same and even much worse. The evidence has been documented, just because you keep ignoring it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. The documented casualty numbers make this crystal clear. >Show me an example like that from Israel - that would be rare. That's why they're not a terrorist state. I already delivered the evidence, you are just wilfully ignorant and choose to be blind to the documented evidence. Keep shilling, no educated human being will buy your washed up zionist propaganda - the documented evidence is just spread too far and wide with the help of the internet esp. with youtube, even if shills like cnn/bbc try their hardest to manipulate the people - it ain't working anymore. >Your personal attacks are childish. No, your behavior and rhetoric are childi
Referencing a Quora statement from "Avinoam Ben Dor, lives in Israel,a Tour Guide"... You are pushing a false right wing zionist narrative, those settlements are illegal under international law. The documented history[0] is evidence of that. [0] ▶ this video
youtube's leaves a lot to be desired once you venture outside of entertainment. besides this education issue the amount of government sponsored propaganda on the site is astounding. teleSUR maintains a channel with all sorts of suspect stories including showing the paradise the Venezuela supposedly is, ▶ this video Now before people dismiss such out of hand there are far too many who believe what is presented here because like many they are guilty of believing stories that reinforce their beliefs.
