I consider your onesidedness. I also think the lack of mention you have for Palestinians in Arab countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria have worse living conditions, fewer rights, lower life expectancy and less education attainment. Why does no one care about them?

I am not one-sided. I recognize the tragedy of all this no less than you do. And the irony. And the unfairness. But the fact remains that the oppression of the Palestinians has got to stop. The occupation and the settlements are wrong, and nothing in our past can justify them.

But how is this equivalent to the pay to slay program? Or hamas having in their charter for palestine to be from the river to the sea. How about Abbas saying no jews will ever live in a future palestine? How about hamas arresting a peace activist for zooming w israelis?

I understand. I really really do. It is heartbreaking. But until the Israeli government changes its policies there will never be peace. I understand all of it, everything you say. But we’re the ones who have to change. It is God, not brute force that is the source of our strength

Why wasn’t there peace before settlements started?? Why wasn’t there a Palestinian state created in the WB+befor they lost it in the 1967 war? What was the issue in 2001?

I truly don’t understand your lack of concern for Palestinians in other countries as well. Despite the lesser rights, freedoms, living conditions ect that they have

You’re right. Palestinians are treated horribly in several Arab countries. As are LGBTQ people. But none of that changes the bottom line fact that Israeli policies, current ones, have got to change if there’s to be any chance of peace.

It’s not about a higher standard. It’s about the reality of the situation.
