I've answered this in the post to another commenter, but I am 100% serious.

I see. So you think Israel wants the hostages to be kept in order to give them a public excuse to continue their campaign?
Thank you for the information. I did not know this.
Thank you for adding all of that information to your original post. I will read through it!
ABC News live on YouTube.
I'm referring to this part of your timeline-
"~600 BCE: The first major expulsion of Jews from areas variously known through time as Palestine, Israel, Jerusalem, and many others. ~538 BCE: Jews are allowed to return (until next time). ~538 BCE through 1896 CE: For the sake of brevity, let's just say Jewish people rarely had real control over this land and were consistently persecuted and/or expelled from wherever they were."
Maybe I'm misreading it, but it seems to imply that they were, as a people, born from that land, and systemically were persecuted through the course of around 2400 years.
I guess I meant to ask why is it morally okay for Palestinians to want to do that, but not morally ok for Israelis to want to do that. Is it because Israel is an apartheid, ethnostate?
I actually didn't realize Gaza was a concentration camp.
Why does Hamas get to say they want to eradicate Israel as a state and have Arab-majority control over the region, but Israel doesn't get to say they want to control the entire region? What makes who correct to say that in either case?
Interesting that you would say someone like that when the options on a screen are in the same place, too.
