People actually try to defend the terrorist.

2 jewish-looking civillians just drove their car when a terrorist attacker shot them for being jewish.

In don't argue that this wasn't a violent terrorist attack, And I fully condemn the perpetrators. But it's interesting how the language In the media changes when it's Israeli soldiers committing acts of terror.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 73%. (I'm a bot)

> Two Israeli men were shot dead in the northern West Bank town of Huwara on Sunday, the military and medics said.

> Huwara has long been a flashpoint in the West Bank as it is just about the only Palestinian town through which Israelis regularly travel in order to reach settlements in the northern West Bank.

> Tensions between Israel and the Palestinians have been high for the past year, with the IDF conducting near-nightly raids in the West Bank amid a series of deadly Palestinian terror attacks.

Shooting civilians passing through your village is not self defence it is murder

What are they defending the highway from? Two people trying to get to point A and point B? Pretty sure no country would consider that self-defense.

Interesting, so your argument is that 2 civilians should not be able to use a highway? Pretty sure that's not a good justification for murder.

And how many unrelated Palestinians have been murdered as a result? Back and forth we go, la la la.

Palestinians killing Israelis crossing on their land=bad. Israelis killing Palestinians after stealing their land/home=good?

Verbiage is so different when reporting. What makes these shooters terrorists but the IDF and settlers raiding and killing Palestinians all about self defense? Who’s the aggressor?

It’s such an old and bizarre conflict. The world needs to back away from both sides and let them fight it out. You can’t support one side and cry foul when the other side retaliates. People are polarized because not everyone sees both sides. If this is the Jewish ancestral right to steal from folks living there for generations, then let them fight it out and winner takes all. That’s how America was formed, too.

You know, it becomes that much harder to support Palestinians and feel sympathetic towards them when they go and do this kind of stuff. That's not to say that Israel doesn't commit crimes, but don't go and complain about them when Palestinians do the exact same thing.

Yep. Totally agreed. Both are wrong.

Keep in mind, Israel has killed over 60 Palestinians since the beginning of 2023 including up to 16 children. Israeli forces raided refugee camps where people are living in squalor. They're raiding people's homes in an attempt to scare them out. Israeli forces have killed journalists and doctors, and beaten up human rights advocates.

And yet we still reserve the word terrorism only for Palestinians.

The vast majority of whom were engaged in combat when they were killed (either fighting soldiers or attacking civilians). Whereas there two people killed were sitting in a car in traffic.

> Israeli forces raided refugee camps where people are living in squalor.

Because that’s where the terrorist groups are largely located.

> They're raiding people's homes in an attempt to scare them out.

How do you propose one should arrest someone who is in a house?

> Israeli forces have killed journalists and doctors, and beaten up human rights advocates.

In very small numbers, especially compared to other conflicts. That also has nothing to do with this.

> And yet we still reserve the word terrorism only for Palestinians.

No we don’t. There are Israeli terrorists like Baruch Goldstein and Jewish terrorist groups like the Kahane group that have been banned in Israel.

Here the thing, no Israelis are safe in the the territory of Palestine, if the Palestine seem them terrorists, then they are right because who had gained land since the 1950s?

Palestinians have gained much more land since the 50s compared to Israel. Remember that there was no Palestinian state before the six-day war (and therefore Israel's occupation) at all. So the Palestinians currently have the most land they have ever had under their own government (s).

So you think Israel shouldn’t go after terrorists? What other countries shouldn’t fight terrorists or is it just the Jewish one?

We are fine here

Also I am sure you are well educated even though it’s obvious you weren’t a history major, but did you miss the difference between your and you’re?
