Risking arrest and assault, Israelis begin protesting Gaza war
Risking arrest and assault, Israelis begin protesting Gaza war
Gathering outside the army’s HQ in central Tel Aviv, dozens of Israelis called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
That's the difference between the two sides. The Arabs want Israel gone and the Jews killed. Israel doesn't have a problem with Arabs as long as they accept their existence.
6That’s the difference between the two sides.
When generalizing millions of people like you are, the amount of differences between one group of millions of people and another group of millions of people will be negligable compared to the amount of similarities they have. One similarity will be that any group of millions of people will in itself have varied opinions. The responses to this war are varied no matter what group of people we select. Your statement is wrong, unfair, and racist.
For just one example of how you are wrong check out this article about a gathering of Muslim and Jewish women in the UK, united by their similarity of both their holy texts teaching "love thy neighbour" and a desire for peace.
Many people on all sides want peace. We are similar, not different.
18Sorry, there have been dozens of chances for Arabs to accept a peace deal. Again and again it was refused because it would allow Israel to exist. These nations are Arab. Some of them democratic. Overall aside from Egypt (and who knows where they actually stand now) the Arab nations around Israel have one goal that's been repeated by many protesters around the globe. "From the river to the sea" Arabs not only around Israel but around the world call for the total extermination of Israel and the Jewish people. I'm done with tankies batting for them because Israel is backed by the US. Israel has a right to exist. And it has a right to defend itself against Arab aggression.

The Arabs want Israel gone and the Jews killed
I don't appreciate your casual racism.
17And I don't appreciate your lack of knowledge of the history of the conflict. It's been Arabs vs. Israel for every single war between them. The "Arab Liberation Army" (look up the logo, and yes, Arab not Palestinian) was one of the first major armies fighting Israel. The non Jewish people in the area that was the Mandate for Palestine considered themselves Arabs and not Palestinian. After the Liberation War it was the Arabs that expelled the Jews from their lands. Iraq, Jordan, Yemen and others suppressed and expelled their Jewish population after losing the war against Israel. Calling people racist for calling out Arabs for their antisemitism is laughable at best.
