If you're going to make statements like that you should at least know your history.

Egypt ended up with Gaza after the 1948 Arab Israeli war. They controlled Gaza until the 6 day war when they lost it and the Sinai Peninsula. Israel offered to give Gaza back to Egypt as part of the Camp David accords but Egypt didn't want it. Israel abandoned Gaza to Hamas in 2007. But after 10/7 they've decided that was a mistake.

So yeah you can demand all you want that Israeli accept being slaughtered by Islamic terrorists but isn't going to happen. Reality is calls to push Israel into a corner is going to result in stuff you claim not to want.

Israel is doing the slaughtering. The starving. The maiming. The torture. The kidnapping. The torture.

It is making history and it will be remembered.

Zionists always start the story with “October 7th” for a reason.

Go back just a week earlier, and the mask starts to crack.

Go back seventy-five years, and it shatters completely.

Arabs were massacaring Jewish people far before 1948, that violence was the basis of partitioning.

Europeans massacring Jewish people was the basis of partitioning surely?

No. That wasn't a big problem in the area. So yes, go back seventy-five years, and the pattern of arab violence towards Jewish people is consistent.

Maybe related to the stealing of land, killing and displacement of those that lived on the land now claimed as Israel?

Slaughtering peoples family and relatives is an act of violence that should expect repercussions.

The deliberate casting aside of any responsibility for death, including tens to hundreds of thousands of children, plus others, is astounding and frankly unforgivable.

First thing the new Arab countries did when they gained independence after WWII was to kick out the Jews.

It's an ideologically motivated fiction that Israeli's are all Zionist colonizers from Europe. 60% of them are refugees from middle eastern countries. And the majority of the rest are refugees from Europe. I find Middle Easterners and Europeans to have a lot of gall to ignore their contribution the mess.

Before 1948 Jewish people bought land from Arabs at inflated prices. During 1948 it was only government land that was allocated to Israel and Arab state.

> Slaughtering peoples family and relatives is an act of violence that should expect repercussions.

Yes, that’s why you understand that Hamas ans Hezbollah must be destroyed. Continually starting war with their neighbours should indeed expect repercussions.

There’s a irony on this call for destruction on those starting war with neighbors.
