        Why 300k, I hear there are 3 billion trillion dead in Gaza, Free Palestine

      • 300K are not missing. They literally did a headcount of children in Gaza at the end of Feb and found 603,000 under 10 which was at the upper limit of what people expected even without a war, meaning that most young children have not been killed and are alive and well - thankfully. But sure, trust Hamas over the doctors treating and counting the children if that makes you feel better in hating people.

      Highly recommend ‘No other land’

      It won an academy award recently as well.

      Filmed by more reasonable Israeli’s and a few Palestinians.

      Very important to distinguish an Israeli and Jewish people. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with many Jews in Australia and many of them oppose what’s happening. But the ones that love Israel and cheering what’s happening are mostly those with an Eastern European heritage. You look at the current Israeli govt too, most were born there including the head of the snake.

      The settlements are expanding every day, hundreds being killed, and it’s disgusting it gets very little coverage, instead the media focuses on a music festival and what a c grade rapper is saying on stage.

          • +38

            @jaimex2: Long story short.

            Since the creation of Israel, which involved the expulsion of Palestinians, millions of displaced people settled in neighbouring countries like Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon. Over time, Israel has continued to annex land and displace more Palestinians. These neighbouring countries eventually limited or stopped accepting refugees, as doing so would effectively facilitate Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing by making it easier for Israel to push people out.

        I agree why is there is much killing? im not on either side im legit curious everything i seem to know about the situation is the hatred links to religous superiority from both sides happy to be correct i generally dont understand

        • +2

          This conflict is about land. Anyone who disagrees is blind. If one side decides to pack up and leave, the other will not care less and will no longer seek them out.

          In short, Palestinians are going through what native Americans and Aboriginals went through.

          If you look at the 1920s maps and the 1950s maps you'll see where the issue started. Then look at the 1970s map, you'll see that it's continuing. You'll see Palestinian land getting smaller and smaller. Now look at the Israeli official map and you'll see that they already consider ALL the land as theirs. You'll see that this is different to every other world map because it goes against international law.

          Israel is constantly doing things that would cause ANY people mad and violent. If you want examples, let me know. There's literal video of this crap. Gaza was considered the world largest open air prison by most human rights organisations. A prison with no charges is the definition of a concentration camp.

          Yes both sides hate the other and both sides do bad things. Native Americans would murder and scalp women and children. Then being genocided doesn't make that ok… It doesn't mean they were the big issue.

            the land orginally was Juda? Jewish people have been there as long as the other people for the record it is only that loads were 'resettled' after the world war 2 throwing out the balance of numbers and a new state of Isreal was formed

            it is not entirely the same as the colonisation of USA or Australia

            USA the native American has cultivated and colonised the land by where sperated into tribes

            Australia the indegnous people were no 'nomadic' they didnt cultivate the land nor they had a Creed however over individual tribes with variation in culture

            Altough i agree the Palsitinians are getting the raw end of the deal due to a hostile state

              @Checkmate3023: Each case had its differences, but they're essentially the same thing.

              "This land is ours now because of X".

              "Our ancestors also lived here 2000 years ago" doesn't really make it much better.

              If the Chinese (or anyone) found some magic proof that they lived here 2000 years ago, I'm pretty sure we'd all be against them taking half of Aus.

              And talking about cultivating land or not and creeds is very much colonial talk. I genuinely don't even understand how you think that changes anything IF it were even true.

                All this is fair enough im not disagreeing just making the point

                Im just saying both people have entilment to the region to an extent they need to find a way to get along without the bombs and bullets

                if you asking me without a 'creed' you cant say it is your land by that logic the land is 'everyones' when we all where 2 continents living in caves

                I think both sides need to put down the guns and co-exist peacefully

                  @Checkmate3023: Of course both sides need to try and coexist. But the hate is real and the inequality in power is just resulting in genocide. Palestinians putting down resistance won't stop it (neither will the resistance of course). And they've very much tried diplomacy. I don't like them fighting, but you can't really blame them. No one would do nothing. The only thing that will fix this conflict is if the support for Israel plummets, or until Israel is done stealing the land like we did.

                  As for creeds, that's such a nuts thing to say. It's essentially the Bully's "I don't see your name on it, so it's mine now" line.

        Pretty sure from what I have read about bother religions, neither say to kill each other, or anyone really.

        Dozens of sections of the Quran call for killing people in the name of god.

        Surah 9:5
        Surah 47:4
        Surah 8:13-17

            @Fistov Stone: Spreading mischief is punishable by "death, crucifixion, cutting off their hands and feet on opposite sides"

            Mischief:

            In the Quran, the term "mischief" (often translated from the Arabic word "fasad") generally refers to spreading corruption, disorder, or disobedience against God's will on earth. It encompasses actions that disrupt the natural order, lead to injustice, and undermine the moral fabric of society

            Please continue to defend this, and by extension, religion. I love to see it.

          Interesting that you pick one of the Abraham religions and ignore the others:

          Plenty of violence in all:

          For Judaism (from the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament):
          * Deuteronomy 7:1-2
          * Numbers 31:17
          * 1 Samuel 15:3
          For Christianity (from the New Testament):
          * Matthew 10:34
          * Luke 19:27
          * Revelation 19:15

          Just to name a few.

          Each book has it's own questionable parts that can be interpreted differently. If you want to make the argument that they're all bad, I won't stop you, but to call Islam violent and ignore things like:

          ""Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey."" From the old testament is just biased.

        • +2

          Misleading… fact checked with chatgpt. See response below:

          ❌ Misleading Claim: "Quran commands killing in the name of God"

          Some verses in the Quran are often quoted out of context to support this claim. Here's a clearer explanation of the actual meaning and historical context behind the most commonly cited verses:


          📖 Surah 5:33

          “The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger… is execution, crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet…”

          ➡️ Context: This refers to violent criminals or rebels—not general disbelievers. It's about legal justice, not religious violence.


          📖 Surah 9:5 ("Verse of the Sword")

          “Kill the polytheists wherever you find them…”

          ➡️ Context: Applies to specific Arab tribes who broke a treaty and attacked Muslims.
          ➡️ Follow-up (9:6): “If any seek your protection, grant it to them…”
          Shows it’s not about indiscriminate killing.


          📖 Surah 47:4

          “When you meet disbelievers in battle, strike their necks…”

          ➡️ Context: Rules of engagement in warfare, not everyday conduct.
          Also says: “Then either release them or ransom them…”—emphasizing humane treatment after battle.


          📖 Surah 8:13–17

          ➡️ Context: Describes the Battle of Badr, where Muslims fought in self-defense.
          Not general instructions for violence.
          Surah 8:61 says: “If they incline toward peace, then incline to it.”


          📖 Surah 2:191

          “Kill them wherever you find them…”

          ➡️ Context: Muslims had been expelled from Mecca.
          This verse allows defensive action, not blanket violence.
          Next verse (2:192): “If they cease, then Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”


          ✅ Quran’s General Stance on Killing

          Quran 5:32: “Whoever kills a soul… it is as if he had slain all mankind.”

          Islamic teachings emphasize:
          - Justice, not vengeance
          - Peace, not aggression
          - Contextual warfare, not religious violence


          🧠 Summary Table
          Verse Context Message
          5:33 Crime & rebellion Legal punishment for violent acts
          9:5 Broken treaty Conditional war, peace if aggression ends
          47:4 Battlefield Rules during combat
          8:13–17 Battle of Badr Historical war, not general rule
          2:191 Meccan persecution Self-defense

          🔍 Quoting these verses without context misrepresents Islam. Always consider the historical background and surrounding verses for accurate understanding.

            @ozmma: I never thought of doing that with Chat GPT, nice one.
            I am not Muslim or Islamic by any means, but was sick of being argued with by people quoting out of context (it's like they all use the same playbook) so, I started reading the Quran for my own knowledge. What blows me away, is it EXPLICITLY SAYS to defend / protect and look after Jews and Christians, they are all "people of the book".

        • thanks, I will have a watch when I get a chance. I am always open to learning something new.

      • You havent read well. Most religions, existing and extinct, justify killing in the name of god.

        Quran 9:5
        But once the Sacred Months have passed, kill the polytheists ˹who violated their treaties˺ wherever you find them, capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them on every way. But if they repent, perform prayers, and pay alms-tax, then set them free. Indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

        Bible Samuel 15:3
        Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.

        Bible Deuteronomy 20:13-15
        And when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword, but the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as plunder for yourselves. And you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you. Thus you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not cities of the nations here.

        Bhagvad Gita 2:31
        God Krishna to Arjuna who is hesitant about killing his relatives, teachers etc.: Considering your specific duty as a kshatriya (warrior/ruler tribe), you should know that there is no better engagement for you than fighting on religious principles; and so there is no need for hesitation.

        • Seriously you are reading it and you still don't get it. READ PLEASE and maybe spend some time to understand what you are reading, it's basically saying you are permitted to fight back against those "who violated their treaties". The treaty was / is peace, and violating them means they waged war or initiated conflict against the Muslims. And then LITERALLY in the same line, it says "But if they repent, perform prayers, and pay alms-tax, then set them free."

        Now im going out on limb here and saying Both reglions would believe Moses was a Prophet which means 'You Shall Not Kill' should be mandated by 'Both' there interpretation of God?

            @infinite: Because the Old Testament is interpreted as sitz im leben or as a retelling of God's story, interpreted by Judaic believers (historical Jews). New Testament, where Jesus is the Savior, is the correction of the interpretation by the historical Jews of God's true intentions. The reason why ancient Jews loathed Jesus is because they were so incensed that this bastard gentiles kid supposedly knew better than them when they've "dedicated" their whole lives to God. But, as Jesus says, not everyone who says "my God, my God" will be saved.

                  Theres a bigger link to GDP being the biggest factor. Wealthy countries that stole all their wealth and no longer have to worry about basic survival as much are typically the only ones that have had a chance to move forward with this type of thing.

            • @rooster7777: Palestinans don't want a two state solution. And why would they? Would Japanese be happy if ONLY 30 percent of their land was given to USA for losing WW2?

              • @John Barosa: Palestinians don't WANT a two state solution, but they are prepared to put up with it.
                Israel doesn't want a two state solution, and refuse to consider it.
                Short of exporting all zionists to the countries responsible for the debacle… (which won't happen for a variety of reasons, mainly the power of the jewish zionist lobby over the sovereign affairs of most western countries) which are britain and the US… a two state solution is the most equitable likelihood.

              • @Bugs Bunny: Jews are a race? 😂😂😂 I swear all religions is funny..

                Here's a fun fact

                Anyone can convert to Judaism
                You can go on a "birth right" tour
                You can also claim and buy land in occupied Palestine and say it's "yours" once you have fully converted..

                …religion 🤡

            @DogGunn: What part is not accurate?
            DNA tests need to be court ordered.

            Netenyahu. Polish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzion_Netanyahu Changed his name. Same with many other of their leaders

            Many Jews sought refuge in Palestine fleeing Europe. This is a well known fact.

            Jews from all over asia converted to many other religions. Over the centuries. They don’t just vanish.

              @Soldier:

              Most of the zionists that have now settled in Palestine are intact of European decent.
              Most of the Jews that were living in the region either converted to Christianity or Muslim

              The largest group of Jews in Israel are Mizrahi and come from the area, not Europe.

              In Israel it is illegal to get a dna test. They’re scared to prove that they are just European settlers.

              You said it was illegal, and that "they're scared to prove that they are just European settlers". This is not correct. It is legal to obtain a DNA test, you even said so in your follow up post, and plenty of people obtain kits from overseas.

              There are plenty of reasons to be against Israel - they provide reasons on a daily basis - but what you have said is not one and delves into conspiracy theories.

          It's more of it's illegal because it will show that the Palestinians (the ones being bombed) are actually more Jewish in the historical sense than the modern day settlers lol. So less focus on Israelis being Europeans than it is, bombing the true descendants of ancient Jews lol.

            @marshmall0w2: Right! People arent educated to know they're the real Semites and through time converted different religions in the past hundreds/thousands of years 😂😂😂

      • Muslims also believe that the Jews don't have Arab dna, so they aren't entitled to any land in the Middle East.

        They believe in Adam and Eve - we all techincally are related based on tis belief?

      You seem to want to reduce this down to a religious thing

      Israel has happily killed many christians, bombed plenty of churches.

      In fact the “state of Israel” is a secular entity that doesn’t represent the Jewish religion. They’ve hijacled the name and using it as a means to hide behind their atrocities. You can’t call out wrong doings without being labelled anti semetic. Kind of how the crusades were used behind a religious facade that had nothing to do with religion. Crusades butchered Christian’s Jews and Muslim living in the levant.

      Zionism does not equal Judaism

      • Of course Palsitinans are 'also Christians' although they are a minority - im trying to understand how either side justifies killing innocent people esp children?

        ive seen documenaries on both sides there is 'so much' hate the kids are taught from a young age

        the reason i make this comment is the trailer for this documentry the narrator says the people of the town believe God gave this land to the Jewish people - but God would be the God of Muslism people too? i mean technically they both believe in 1 God

          Ehh. If I was Palestinans, I wouldn't see the Jewish civilians as innocent, and would 100% support targeted strikes against them. Any Jew not complicit with the war, would have moved out years ago. From the Palestinian perspective, the Jews are European neo colonailists, who just so happen to follow the same religion, as a bunch of people who died 2k year ago.

            all this does is create more hate and death

            Jewish/Christian/Muslims have lived in the middle east as far back as history can write and for the most part have managed to 'get along' ie the Ottoman Empire for some reason now they dont?

            we have multiple faiths in Australia we seem to mostly get along if we can 'do it here' they can do it there

              @Checkmate3023: Because this is Australia. We spend lots of time and money, to naturalize here, and the children are descendants of those who have already naturalized. This is Europe's problem. They skip the naturalization part.

              Jews/Muslims are born in the middle east, they don't make the sacrifices to naturlize. That's what makes them violent.
