    How can you live side by side with a state that tortures kids in prison? I mean how do you live peacefully and with dignity in a state that - - through its different leaderships since it’s founding days - - has been detaining people illegally? That doesn’t believe in Palestinians’ right to return or right to a decent life? How do you live side by side your murderers and jailers and torturers when they make no attempt to punish the wrongdoers or the settlers or all those assholes in the IDF who humiliate Palestinians at every chance? I’m seriously asking.

      I condemn all such behavior. Extremists on both sides are setting the tone unfortunately. I can assure you that Israelis are asking the same questions as they keep seeing the videos of rape and murder in a loop since October 7.

        I sometimes wonder if Israelis are exposed to Palestinian suffering as much as Israeli suffering, but a woman raped and killed on October 7th can never be more important than thousands of children with their bones crushed under the rubble.

          No, each side is in a propaganda echo chamber.

          No death or suffering is more or less important than others.

          No one ( well, almost no one) in Israel wants to see innocent civilians getting killed.

            I don’t know, but every time I look at the Times of Israel, they clearly hide Gazan casualties or casually claim 7k of them were terrorists

            You say all these things but I can’t get myself to believe you. 😅

              I’m saying exactly that, there’s a propaganda echo chamber and information on the other side is very little so not sure where we disagree on that

                We don’t disagree on that. I just can’t get myself to respect your views that’s all. 😊

                You say in one place that death and suffering of all are equal yet your other arguments speak of the opposite. Sounds like lip service to me.
