30. It's self-imposed oppression
Fri Mar 11, 2022, 07:28 PM

by Palestinian leaders.

Do you really think Jews have no right to take their security seriously considering how often they're attacked?

Jews walking down the streets of Jerusalem have been stabbed multiple times in the past couple weeks by Palestinians.

Last week, a couple Palestinian teens were throwing bombs at Israelis.

Maybe if Palestinians didn't literally side with Hitler to exterminate Jews in the 1940s, and maybe if Palestinians didn't constantly launch terror attacks at Jews, and maybe if Palestinians didn't declare war on Jews multiple times, and maybe if Palestinians didn't literally elect a terrorist group as their government, Israel wouldn't need as much security as they have.

The State of Israel was literally created to protect Jews persecuted in the Holocaust, and all future Jews from persecution. Israel will do whatever it takes to make sure Jews are protected - that's why it exists.

Palestinians have officially stated their goal is to eradicate Israel and exterminate Jews. Why should Israel treat them like friends when they make those kinds of statements?
