(27,323 posts)I'm paying some attention to this issue since I support Israel. But also not liking how the Palestinians have always been treated. Immense dislike for Netanyahu for decades. Hoping also for Hama's, and Hezbola's fighters destruction.
It such a fraught, complex situation; I sometimes throw my hands up at both parties.
In NYC (though I haven't been there recently) if you pass a certain part of a area you can see Jews, and Palestinians yelling at each other w signs, and all from across the street. Been going on for years!
I also might need to check out Jewish Voices for Peace on line to see more of their outlook, and tactics etc to see just how much to voice support of them in general.
I don't like that cartoon that they posted.
But I also heard the reports of the children's wounds one day, say, in a leg, next day in an arm etc seemingly some IDF soldiers deliberately chosing to shoot thrm in a certain body area each day. That's sick!
But in this case, this demo it seemed the right thing to do.
