 Yeah, I'm sure I'd want to erase a country that is constantly fucking attacking me too. That's the whole point of having a government. The problem is that they haven't ever actually eliminated the threat. I'm not saying that Israel has been perfect. No country is. But there's a lot of one sided bullshit propaganda coming from Palestinians as if they aren't getting what they keep asking for. The people there should eliminate the people attacking Israel if it is actually such a minority of them. Otherwise, yeah, they will all eventually die. That isn't genocide. That's called war. And if you won't quit attacking a more powerful enemy then you should be prepared to be completely eliminated. I don't think that's controversial. You keep getting stung until you stop fucking with the bees. They could have spent their time and energy making life for Palestinians better, but they chose war instead. That's on them and so is all of the collateral damage that results. Israel is not responsible for that. I wish the killing would stop. I don't like that. It's awful. But acting like a victim while you're killing people in another nation is absolutely retarded. I'm willing to bet that most Israeli people don't want to keep living like this either. There is no peace with people who will accept nothing less than all Jews leaving the planet. And I'm absolutely in support of bombing them until they accept reality and stop attacking others. Then I would of course want Israel to stop and continue forward peacefully. But that's never worked. The attacks always continue.
