According to the Geneva Conventions Israel, who are the military occupying power, do not have the right to self defence against the people they occupy.
That's the Geneva Conventions. The law. Deal with it.
Palestinians, including Hamas, do have the right to self defence against an occupation that has been ruled illegal. The blockade is also a war crime.
That's the law. Both sides should be held to the law. Hamas for targeting civilians and Israel for targeting civilians, apartheid, the occupation, genocide, acquisition of land through war and a host of others. Treat them both the same.
Why do Israel supporters accept Jewish terrorism and refuse to call it out?
Why are Hamas supposed to be so much more evil than Israel when Israelis are constantly doing even worse things to Palestinians?
There were 233 settler terrorist attacks before Oct 7 and they continue now at a rate of over 7 per day.
Like this one reported at CBC.
The only difference between the two is race.
Clearly your views are racist and you demonize Palestinians and accept zionist terrorism because of your views on the Jewish people.
There is no other explanation.
Settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has spiked sharply in the weeks following the attack, leading to condemnation from U.S. President Joe Biden, who denounced "extremist settlers" and compared the attacks to "pouring gasoline" on a fire.
Odeh has a video showing a group of settlers descending the hill above their house, throwing rocks. The husks of cars she says they set on fire still sit outside the house.
"My brother tried to tell them we don't want any problems," she said, "but they suddenly attack us without [provocation]."
When relatives and neighbours alerted by Odeh's mother arrived to help, she says, the settlers opened fire, killing four men. A day later settlers fired on their funeral procession, killing two more men, a father and son.
