In this conflict, Israel is every bit as guilty as Palestine is.

Jews have the power, period. There’s so many important people in powerful positions they don’t want to offend. Toronto also has many powerful Jews hence the condemnation from Olivia chow and ford.
Who are Palestinians of note?
Palestinians are like district 9 bugs, maybe this time Israel will squash them once and for all.
The conflict is super complicated and far more than any of us will ever understand, but there is a human side of the Palestinians that always goes overlooked for the sake of the Israelis. I’ve watched many documentaries (biased or not who knows) where isrealis have pushed these gated communities into palistinian settlements basically just provoking tensions against people who are already in an extremely tough spot and have been for decades
While Hamas is obviously crazy and terrible bla bla, the Israelis have really created them on their own through their actions.
