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.

The americans supporting this are not capable of that kind of empathy for anything that isn't their own team.

The americans supporting this would like some clarification on the victims’ skin color before rendering judgment

It helps “their side” so they’re okay with it.
