Critics say the US rushed to evacuate its citizens in Israel last year. For Lebanon, the response has been much slower.

    That’s not the point. Forgiveness to avoid more tragedy is.

        If only there were peaceful ways to get help that would almost have certainly garnered a lot more sympathy than resorting to terrorism…

          So, your solution is for the Palestinians to shut up and die? Nice, real peaceful

            You said it, not me, but continuing to propagate violence only makes your solution the only viable one. Food for thought.

              Israel has only ever responded to peaceful protests with lethal violence

              When peaceful resistance is made impossible, violent revolution is inevitable

              You can’t expect people subjected to systematic violence and dehumanization for generations to not fight back for their own humanity and human rights

          There are, in fact, none. That’s why Hamas managed to gain the Palestinian cause a lot of sympathy over the last 20 years while the PLO did absolutely fucking nothing.

      Did the Jews forgive nazi perpetrators? Or were they still hunting them down many years after the war?

      So why do you want Palestinians to forgive nazi perpetrators?

        Yes actually (many went to work for Russia/USSR and US and weren’t touched by Mossad. Israel has since worked closely with both). Being able to seek justice being another reason to be peaceful…
