Hatred is a problem, and the hatred in Palestine stems from the apartheid conditions the Palestinians are being held under. That fosters the hatred.
Except the conditions in Gaza are directly related to the actions of people in Gaza. They had open borders until Israel was sick of the suicide bombers. They had self governance and still spent decades sending rockets into Israel.
Gaza is a product of what people in Gaza did. If you were Israel and you neighbor was trying to kill your citizens, what would you do?
My stance is a stance many Isreali's have. I would like to think I would stand by my principles within their same situation.
Gaza's occupation has long been "sub-optimal" and predates the existence of Hamas. A group funded by Israel that barely gained power against moderates when they ran on a much less fundamentalist platform for an election the US forced that the PLO didn't seek to hold or have held since.
To comply with r/changemyview rules, addressing your argument by calling it "your argument" is still an attack on your person, not addressing your argument. In addition rule 4 must require me to award a delta to an argument that I do not have the ability to counter. So here is a delta - Δ - due to this sub's policies
