AP:

200+ Palestinians were killed last year alone (some children) by IDF, Police and armed settlers, and we dare to wonder aloud about misplaced savagery?

And that's not counting the head shot last year meted out to Shireen Abu Akleha, a clearly marked Al-Jazeera journalist

How about this?

"Since 2015, the General Assembly has adopted 140 resolutions criticizing Israel, mainly over its treatment of the Palestinians, its relationships with neighbouring countries and other alleged wrongdoings."

Comparison?

"Over the same period, it has passed 68 resolutions against all other countries, UN Watch said."

How about this from OCHA? (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs).

Since 2008, there have been 6,407 Palestinians killed.

Of that number, 3, 312 were killed by air launched missiles. That's a tad indiscriminate and inhumane.

Of the 6,407 killed, 275 were girls, 1062 were boys, and 626 were women...the rest were men.

The Israeli losses? 308: 131 IDF losses, 177 civilians of which 90 were settlers. 6 girls, 19 boys and 36 females...the rest were men.

The solution?

Stop the illegal settlements, the bulldozing of homes, the displacement of Palestinians for the settlement of Jews, you know, to make Jerusalem Jewish, just like the Knesset when in 2018, it declared Israel to be based on three goals:

It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.

It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.

It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”

Amnesty International declared that Israel is an apartheid state, with a whopping 21% of its population Arab, why do we continue see Israel as the victim?

There's 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank with 670,000 illegal heavily armed settlers, all with the backup of the IDF, with heavily patrolled roads and walls to say nothing of the Settler's behaviour.

Jun 21, 2023 — Hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed into a Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, setting fire to dozens of cars and homes.

And the recent report from the West Bank? As of yesterday, 146 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces. Were any rockets fired from the West Bank?

What about the 170 Palestinian children currently in jail?

How did that happen?

Western guilt over I suppose the Holocaust, of the 12-14 million killed by European genocidal madness, 6 million were Jewish.

The incredibly myopic and self-serving Zionist belief that Yahweh, one very very violent God, had pronounced that the 'land of milk and honey' was for the Jews, and the Jews alone.

And just like the genocidal Joshua and others of his ilk, the people who just happen to live there, why tis best to kill them all, and their livestock too.

So, the only way out of this mess is to offer respect to the Palestinians.

Par exemple?

Canada is currently going through a very painful Truth and Reconciliation Process with our Indigenous populations, and has been since 1998, after our Gladue Commission submitted its report.

South Africa did the same and provided the template for Canada.

Israel MUST do the same. Otherwise the brutal savagery will continue unbated and atrocities will only continue and if not?

There will be expulsions of Israeli Arabs and Palestinians, and finally, there will be a Jewish state, with an outright annexation of much of the West Bank.
