    Let’s not get the sequence of events wrong. Israel faced existential threads from day one of declaring independence, where the surrounding states immediately attacked. There was and is no compromise for Palestine, they want to destroy Israel. That is their official goal, not some secret or conspiracy.

    Palestine is not a prison because they are super nice people and Israel is evil. The issue is terrorism. Israel needs to deal with it some way. You can argue that there are better ways, certainly. And that Israel is doing a crap job, like US prisons.

    What is Israel supposed to do now? What would your plan be? More than one out of every 10’000 of your fellow people just got murdered. That’s like 46’000 people if it were the USA. That is the scale.

    If we look at history, for example Nazis, do you think it was right to bomb Germany to the ground?
