        Palestine is attacking israel.

        israel is fighting back

        israel is much more powerful and will level Palestine in an afternoon if they want

        does that give israel the right to level Palestine? no not directly. if you had a country attacking you, killing your citizens and you wanted them to stop and they wouldnt stop no matter what, what do YOU do?

        the US would drop a nuke in this situation to be a moral dilemma 70 years later.

        is Palestine stupid for talking shit and not backing it up yes. is israel overreacting? yes. Hindsight is 20/20 not that israel cares but Palestine should stop trying to be what theyre not

        feel free to educate me as i dont know much about this subject.

      Yes, one is recent, impacts the West directly and a bunch of white people and the other is Palestine.

        How does a long time NATO ally not impact the west exactly? The Israel/Palestine confict has been in the news since I have paid attention to international politics.

          That was the point. When it impacts the West directly, the we in the West decide to make things about right and wrong and morals and cook up excuses to throw more and more money because it serves our interests. When it’s Palestine… we decide to throw all of that out of the window and decide fund Israel (the aggressor) instead.

          This entire weird conversation aside, Palestine/Israel conflict does not currently affect the West. It could hypothetically escalate until it affected the West I suppose.

          Also, Israel is not in NATO. They are a “NATO partner” but are not legally tied to the security alliance.
