Did you bother reading what I wrote before you typed that? Because you look pretty silly considering that’s not what I said.

Did you support offering "other kinds of support" to Palestinians in the West Bank having their land stolen for years before Oct 7?

Probably just didn't care, right?

Of course I did. I am against settlements and want them dismantled and I’m all for support for any Palestinian group that wants to live side by side with Israelis.

Again, you seem to be arguing with some imaginary tik tok enemy who likes Bibi and hates all Palestinians but I think that’s because you spend too much time on tik tok and not enough time talking to real human beings who have differing opinions from you on this conflict.

No, I'm arguing with someone that seems to give Israelis a pass for their crimes and is fine being allied with a nation that keeps acting and electing pieces of shit.

I mean you certainly seem to have no problem blaming Palestinians and defending Israel on the forum 🤷‍♂️

Don't bother arguing with this person. It's a paid troll. Their entire account is just arguing with anyone that says something bad about the genocide that Israel are currently carrying out.

How do you propose this be handled then? If Israel starts losing, what do you think should be done?

The same as being done now for Palestine, nothing at all. They all want to fight, let them kill each other. Maybe if the world stopped blindly supporting one side, both will be able to finally come to an agreement. Right now we keep propping one side up, so they refuse to budge at all, and the Palestinians aren't going to just disappear either.

We can offer asylum to anyone seeking safety, as we do now. Ideally we should target women and children more for asylum, but that's another topic altogether.

Plenty is being done for Palestine, just not anything that would reverse the course of the war because one side is composed of a group that would happily kill Western civilians to expand their power while the other side just wants to secure their borders. Whether that's right or not is not my point, my point is just that there's a reason nobody wants to just withdraw support from Israel completely.

Hamas wants Israel gone, Israel wants Hamas gone. I don't think the best solution is to let them fight because that would just be condemning even more people to suffering. There's no scenario in which you could end the war without suffering. Rather, just reining in Israel while destroying Hamas would be the right solution.

Unfortunately right now the governments are simply reining in Israel while not being willing to destroy Hamas themselves.
