| Richard, I agree with you 1000% (numbers not a mistake!). As I mentioned before, in the 20th century alone, without including the first and second World Wars, the list of conflicts between Israel and the Arab States is long and very bloody: - the 1948 Palestine war - Israel vs Palestine - the 1956 Suez war - Israel vs Egypt + UK + France - the June 1967 Six-Day War - Isreal vs Egypt-Jordan-Syria - the 1969-70 War of Attrition - Israel vs Egypt-Jordan-PLO - the October 1973 Yom Kippur War - Israel vs Egypt-Syria Israel, by the looks of it, has not been a peace-loving country. After all the wars indicated above, Hamas was founded in 1987. I despise Hamas - there is no way I am on the side of terrorism. But I cannot be on Israel's side either; it is not a victim but yes an invader. What happened on 7 October 2023 is horrific and unforgivable. But Israel is no saint on its retaliation. The comparison with WW2 is rather far fetched. What I find could be a parallel is that: - the Nazis tried to exterminate the Jews (regardless of nationality); - Hamas wants to exterminate Israel (regardless of religion); - Israel wants to exterminate Hamas because it is threat, but above all, Israel wants all the land. It destroys anything Palestinian under the cloak that they are all terrorists. Not all Palestinians in the Gaza strip agree with Hamas. Historically, we have been on the side of Israel because of the horrific holocaust. But the truth is that the Jews killed were from many countries, including those that were split in the Postdam conference. |
