I am Jewish, and I disagree with what the current government is doing, it is inhumane - regardless of the heinous attacks, spilling more innocent blood is wrong. And I disagree with many other actions by the Israeli government.
But I stand fully with Israel.
It has every bit as much right to exist as Palestine does.
And if Palestinians had accepted Israel any time in the last 75 years, there would be peace and prosperity for all.
Is it fair some people lost homes and land? Nope. But more Jews did than Palestinians.
And furthermore it was not the Jews who refused to live in multicultural equality. They were not given that option and their moral right to live in freedom and equality in their ancestral home is every bit as valuable as any Muslims.
"Free Palestine" is a meaningless statement.
Palestinians are living under a brutally oppressive, jihadi regime with no rights of any kind. They are terrorised by their own government, they are imprisoned without trial and any dissent results in death. Citizens are used as human shields, by a group of possibly the most barbaric terrorists the planet has ever seen.
The idea that this horrific regime would segue from decapitating babies and spunking aid money on weapons to offering "freedom" to anybody is objectively ridiculous.
Furthermore, Palestinians have been offered their own state five times and each time have declined the offer, as they will not accept Jews also having a state. What people are protesting for, they have rejected.
So if you want to protest for anything, protest for Palestinians to accept a two state solution and embrace democratic government, freedom and human rights for their own people. Stop pretending Israel has ever prevented either of these things.
Palestinians are not in an :open air prison:. They have an enormous open border with Egypt and the only reason they can't move freely is because Egypt won't allow it.
However, Israel cannot allow free movement because Hamas use that freedom to murder Jews. Israel cannot allow free movement of uninspected goods, because Hamas sneak in weapons and materials to kill Jews. Hamas hide in no way that this is their sole intent.
Israel do many wrong things, no question, but "free Palestine" is meaningless.
For Palestinians to be free, they need leaders who offer them freedom and protect their human rights. They need leaders who are interested in peaceful resolution rather than murdering Jews.
As someone said, if Palestinians lay down weapons and accept Israel, then peace is possible. If Israel laid down weapons, it would mean annihilation.
Arguing for "freeing" people to deranged, terrorist, jihadis who opress, murder and terrorise their own people and refuse peaceful negotiations is completely illogical.
