Also, in your analogy, these people are somehow magically just moving in as if space and housing is freely available

This is exactly how Jews immigrated to mandatory Palestine. They bought houses or land and moved in.

Also, why should the original neighbors have to negotiate with a group of people who moved in against their will

They have the choice to negotiate or not, but if they choose war and lose, then their lot is to reckon with the consequences of their actions. Vae victus, as the Gauls said to the Romans.

Besides all of that, if we just take the history out of it completely, and just look at the last 8 months: does Israel seem to you like a sane nation

Not entirely. It seems like a nation which has been radicalized by decades of failures at peace initiatives and the same decades of unrelenting violence directed at their civilians. But at least they didn’t start the war in Gaza.

Countries aren’t houses and your analogy is fatally flawed. I’ll write you a better one.

Let’s say I live in a neighborhood. New people move into this neighborhood, people who say their ancestors used to live here. Fine, whatever, the HOA let them in and I’m fine with it.

Enough of these people move into this neighborhood and have a different enough culture that they decide they want to form their own HOA.

What is my appropriate response to this situation? Should I negotiate which houses belong to the new HOA and which to the old? Or should I decide that the best thing to do is to violently kick all those people out of the neighborhood and shoot anyone who wants a new HOA?

Because the second thing is 1948. Arabs declared war, lost and lost badly, and have been trying to unwind the consequences of their belligerence ever since - usually with more belligerence.

The current situation mostly has to do with the consistent history of Arab aggression regarding any possible Jewish state.

If they don’t like the efforts of the US to give aid to a people who hate us, then I guess we could stop

“it’s slavery when I work for money” ok clown

Liberals: this is a difficult situation and it’s not one which has an easy solution

Communists: genocide is an easy solution lol

Capitalism is the worst way to run an economy. Except, of course, all other ways which have been tried.

So you admit that they are legitimate targets.

If a hospital is being used as a staging point for military forces, it’s a legitimate military target. That’s why militarizing hospitals is wrong.

The health ministry

(Hamas)

The native tribes mostly did have gunpowder by that point, they were very motivated to trade for rifles and ammunition and the US government sold them rifles and ammunition through the Indian Agency.

It’s a Ben Garrison comic, he’s basically a meme himself

Russia was already obligated by treaty to not invade Ukraine. And why would NATO refuse to accept new members?

Good! Several fewer vatniks to hurt people in Ukraine.

No, no, shh, everything is biden’s fault and we are all going to throw a tantrum about it

US considers humanitarian deployment of troops to provide advice and medical aid

Lemmy: omg how TERRIBLE

Hamas is the government of Gaza.

Hamas specifically advocates for total ethnic cleansing.
