Both sides are aggressors... ok
Both sides shitty... ok
Both sides are villains... ok
Both sides have the right to defense and fight back regardless of difference in power ... ok
you can't trust Palestinians.. ok
Ok, fine, cool, agreed, whatever. But why does this need to come up at all when only one side continue to expand in geography? What sort of retaliation is it for the west bank to house over 550k Israelis up from 100k in 20 years? Infusing the west bank with more settlements and creating check points separating Palestinian neighbourhoods preventing them from building anything that resembles an economy or a unified piece of land is an institutionalised effort that's done by one country one country only and it's not a form of retaliation to anything Palestinians do or don't do, it has nothing to do with "trust" or "mistrust", and it's been on going for decades blessed by Israel's biggest ally, be it the cuddly Obama or the monstrous Trump.
On the other hand, you're trying to convince the other side of a two state solution and peace is the way forward when there isn't any land left to build that state on to begin with. All while watching the Judaization of East Jerusalem and well off Americans or Europeans moving into the west bank despite not having stepped foot in the middle east since they were born, yet Palestinians, their parents and their grandparents are left wondering wtf is a 2 state solution. Keeping all that in mind, it becomes fathomable why the despicable Hamas continues to gain support
Yonatan Yosef is the spokesperson for the Israeli settlers in Sheikh Jarrah in Occupied #Jerusalem. He sees that expelling Palestinians is necessary & is what Zionism has always been about.

And no, Islam isn't a beautiful religion, no religion is tbh, it's all nonsense that you should criticise how stupid it is and explain why logically to all different age groups so you avoid stupid conflicts like this one. Yes, humans will still find ways to fight but at least it won't be over fairytales.
Aaaaand I just linked a video to AlJazeera, I am gonna puke, but I'll have mainstream media to thank for always conflating the right to defense and retaliation with the expansion of illegal settlements.
