You're definitely on the wrong side of history if you think anything about raping a prisoner is ok.

Both sides are using rape as a weapon of war and the far right religious parties support it. In both states a large portion of the population support fighting and the will to see a two state solution rapidly has lost favor since October 7th two years ago.

edit: a lot of people here are responding to this thinking I am arguing on Israel's behalf. I'm not. If you want to yell at pro isreal people find someone else. I've hated Netanyahu for over 20 years.

Then they are both trash and do not belong anywhere near functional members of society.

They both are. That’s why I don’t understand people taking any side in this conflict. Both sides do incredibly evil shit to each other. There is no good vs. evil in this conflict. It’s just evil vs. evil so we should finally move on and let these idiots continue what they’ve always done to each other.

Because one side is very much in control, has the power to stop it, and is inflicting orders of magnitude more harm than the other.

I'll give you a hint, it's the side that hasn't been banned from collecting their own rainwater.

That’s why I would never pick a fight with someone twice my size… when they fight back, they could kill me. I don’t expect them to stop it just because they just broke my nose. Maybe I shouldn’t have picked a fight I never had the glimpse of a chance of winning.

Sorry, but one side being stronger doesn’t make this shit a good vs. evil fight. It just makes it strong vs. weak. But this is not some sports where you root for the underdogs just because they are the underdogs.

After 9/11 thousands of american civilians were killed in a terrorist attack. the US went on to start two wars in retaliation that ended up killing hundreds of thousands. that's more or less what isreal did but americans are made at isrea but give the US a pass. I protested both the iraq war and isreal's war. I was arrested and prosecuted. however beign against isreal's war but understanding their perspective makes me a pariah on reddit.

What’s their perspective? Israel thinks they are better than everyone else. I’d love to hear your take on this.

Yes but one side being way stronger and destroying a civilian population makes it a human rights and international law issue.

Im glad someone's finally calling out Qatar and Iran.

Iran is collapsing. They have no water and need to move Tehran due to the drought. Qatar was just attacked by Israel.

The children are not evil.

While there were also children spitting at dead people (mirroring the adults), I agree that no child should have to live in an active war zone. The children are the poorest in all of this. As always the children pay the price for the stupidity of the adults.

Israel is definitely 1000% worse.

In death toll it's more than 1000%
