"It's like a drug ... you feel like you are the law, you make the rules. As if from the moment you leave the place called Israel and enter the Gaza Strip, you are God."

"I have no problem with women. One threw a slipper at me, so I gave her a kick here (pointing to the groin), broke all this here. She can't have children today."

"X shot an Arab four times in the back and got away with a self-defense claim. Four bullets in the back from a distance of ten meters ... cold-blooded murder. We did things like that every day."


"An Arab just walked down the street, about 25 years old, didn't throw a stone, nothing. Bang, a bullet in the stomach. Shot him in the stomach, and he was dying on the sidewalk, and we drove away indifferently." ..... "I felt like, like, like a Nazi ... it looked exactly like we were actually the Nazis and they were the Jews."

Palestinians and Gazans have been dehumanized.

War is horrible, i don't want anything to do with this, but who attacked mercilessly women and children first for this to happen?

The word "first", is WAAAAAAY more loaded than you think.

"A new commander came to us. We went out with him on the first patrol at six in the morning. He stops. There's not a soul in the streets, just a little 4-year-old boy playing in the sand in his yard. The commander suddenly starts running, grabs the boy, and breaks his arm at the elbow and his leg here. Stepped on his stomach three times and left. We all stood there with our mouths open. Looking at him in shock ... I asked the commander: "What's your story?" He told me: These kids need to be killed from the day they are born. When a commander does that, it becomes legit."

How many of these stories would you need to hear happening in your neighbourhood before the anger at your oppressors felt justified?

Like i said i don't want anything to do with this, just imo that this would not have happened if they didn't rampage with terror attacks.

Who started it? Before you answer, remember that it started well before either of us was born and has been going on more or less continuously ever since.

Yes i know, what i've been feeling all these years, is that the arabs hate jews that if they could they would have wiped Israel totally, Israel has that power to do that to them, but didn't use it.

Fair enough.

But Palestinians go through that stuff all the time...even before the conflict.

This often happens in war....and other contexts. I think it probably reduces PTSD.

How many times would you allow your neighbors to shoot bullets into your house before you did something about it?

How many times would you allow your neighbors to shoot bullets into your house before you did something about it?

How many more times would you let your neighbors expel you from your house before you did something about it?

Very sad. Unfortunately, this, and worse, happen every day around the world. I pray both sides of this conflict can find peace with one another.
