Don’t fall into the trap of ‘picking sides’ over Gaza: Hamas’s attacks were unconscionable, razing Gaza to the ground would be abhorrent. In both cases, basic humanity is at stake --- [Opinion] (feddit.de)

Aside from brainwashing them all into forgetting about their religions, what other solution is there?

[–] Zeroxxx@lemmy.my.id 3 points 2 years ago

Other than completely eradicate one side off the face of the earth, I guess nothing.

Israel and Palestine (+Muslim world) hate each others.

Yet another reason why fedditde needs to be defedditerated, jesus fucking christ can you guys have a normal one for like 3 minutes?

israeli government and hamas both want never-ending war anyways. i never understood how anyone could think hamas is one valid side in this.

the goal should always be complete non-violence.

Israel wants you to think the only two sides in this conflict are Israel and Hamas

There are three sides: Israel, Hamas, and the innocent civilians dying.

If an asteroid fell from space onto Tel Aviv, I'd be on the asteroids side. It's not about ideology, it's about removing a fascist ethnostate from the world.
