    Palestine also get the benefit of not having their cities ravaged while Israel troops hunt down enemy combatants.

    This should never be a "benefit" nor is it a "benefit" to any other group of people.

    They get to keep some semblance of an autonomous nation.

    Yeah just a "fake" self determination, never a real fulfilling one.

    hey also minimize civilian casualties in their end, if they actually cared about that.

    If they actually cared about that? What is that supposed to mean? Sounds to me like you are making shitty generalizations about Palestinians.

    I’m not sure why you keep expecting Israel to negotiate with restraint when they have no incentive to negotiate at all. I don't expect them to. I have no hope at all that the current Israeli government will stop committing war crimes.

      Then don't harbor terrorists. It obviously wasn't a "benefit" to the Israelis who were murdered now was it?

      If they actually cared about that? What is that supposed to mean? Sounds to me like you are making shitty generalizations about Palestinians.

      If Hamas cared about civilian casualties, they would never have kidnapped and executed civilians. If they cared about civilian casualties, they would negotiate their surrender.

      If you're trying to spotlight Israel's treatment of Palestinians and hoping to garner sympathy, you're not going to have much success when the current world event topic is "Palestinians (Hamas) murdered and taken hostage innocent Israeli civilians."

        You're right in your last statement. The world has already ignored Palestinian suffering and the result now is an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Nope, no one would sanction Israel or do anything and here we are today.

          Ignoring the false statements you are making. If you want the world to support you, don't commit acts of terror on civilians.

            Are you talking about Palestinians or about Hamas? Because Hamas coming "acts of terror" is not justified, and neither is Israel's acts of terror which it commits daily and without anyone giving a fuck.

              The world will continue to side with the group that isn't hunting down innocent people in their homes and at festivals.

                The problem with what you're saying is that Israel commits war crimes every day. So why should the world side with them?

                  The problem is pro-Palestinian side trying to claim that illegal detention and collateral damage from war is equal to terrorist operations that intentionally targeted massacres of civilians.

                  That doesn't work for anyone with a sense of nuance and common sense.

                There I corrected it for you.
