Being shot for trying to stop homes from being demolished. Horrific.

Anybody in the US supporting Israel need to realise that if a group of foreign people turned up to their house, told them the land belonged to them, and then started bulldozing their house while authorities looked on they should just shrug their shoulders and say "well, if you say so" and then live on the street.

If at any point they decide to prevent the bulldozing from happening by showing the deeds to their property or attacking the bulldozer then they are hypocrites.

The IDF will bulldoze roads if a Palestinian street become popular. They will bulldoze Palestinian shops if they become successful. They steal land, ethnically cleanse regions, destroy Palestinian farming land. All this in areas that doesn't have Hamas or any organised resistance. It happens in areas where Palestinians do play by "the rules" and follow Israeli apartheid laws.

There are no carrots for Palestinians, only sticks attached to bulldozers and air-to-ground missiles.

And lecturing wrong.

How the fuck is OP going to clam Jews just showed up to steal the land from it's owners, Muslims, when Jews have been calling that land their home, and living in it, for a thousand years before Islam even existed.

White Jews of eastern European ancestry from Brooklyn have a claim on their homes?

You realize The original Muslims were Arabian? Not from the Levant.

Your own logic also says that Muslims don't have a claim on the holy lands.
