The synagogue I bike past in Brookline has a BLM sign still up. I commend them because it is a really strong moral stance to say the BLM and that Israel and the dispossession of Jews matters.
This page since 10/7 has blamed Israel. It has blamed peaceful old ladies on a kibbutz who did not deserve to die the way they did.

I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer with Palestinian refugees. I lived with them for a year.
The Niqbah is incredibly complicated.
Collective punishment for 10/7 of Palestinians would be a war crime.
Are we seeing that? We don't know.
But you know who has placed collective punishment on Palestinians? Other Arab states. They have kept "the Palestinian problem " alive and well for generations because it serves their own needs.
You think the other Arab countries don't hate/distain their co-religionists? That they stand in solidarity with Palestinians? They absolutely do not and in many cases hate them more than they hate the Jews.
We don't know if we're seeing collective punishment of Palestinians? Are you out of your mind? YES we're seeing that. The IDF is shelling Gaza indiscriminately. Innocent civilians just trying to live their lives are having them destroyed because of where they live and what they believe and what they look like. What Hamas did to Israel is unforgivable, but retaliating in this manner is inhuman. I'm not blaming Israel or Jews generally or asking either group to lay down and die. I'm asking them to see the lives they're destroying in pursuit of vengeance.
Human lives all have value, but that has nothing to do with the question at hand.
The question is justice.
Truly genocidal maniacs on one side started this, for the FOURTH TIME, and is holding babies as hostages.
By no standard ever in history, have the victims of such atrocities been subjected to this level of propaganda about not fighting back or making every effort to rescue their people.
Hamas had two weeks prior to the invasion to free those “human lives,” about whom you apparently don’t care a tinkers cuss, but chose to hide them under hospitals and kill a couple along the way.
Israel has embarked on a just war, which is why the civilized western world supports them. That you, Iran, Putin and Xi are on the same side is telling.
Do you remember what happened in Syria with Yarmouk camp? Assad left it to an ISIS affiliate. He didn't try to protect them. This thing about Arab nations protecting the Palestinians is only as good as what they can get out of it. I read that Biden tried to convince Jordan to take them all from Gaza before the IDF went in, he prolly said no because he still has millions of Syrian refugees living there. I also heard they asked Sisi, and just like a Pharaoh, would dump them in the Sinai to live. It's depressing, these people have been innocent of wanting nothing but self-determination and territory to call home. It's so disrespectful and cruel what has allowed to go on for 80 years.

I’m sure you would have felt that way when the allies fought the Nazis. I’m just certain of it.
Human lives are human lives, regardless of the time period or the combatants. If you think differently, you're a sociopath.

Given that you've decided what I think already, I won't bother to engage any further. Have a good day.

The Gazans had territory and self-determination since 2005. They chose war, for the fourth time.
