> In the town of Abu Falah, near Ramallah, at least 80 settlers, some of whom were carrying firearms or clubs, gathered to stop Palestinians from harvesting their olives, using slingshots to hurl rocks at the farmers in view of Israeli military vehicles. When some of the Palestinians then picked up rocks to defend themselves, the Israeli military fired teargas in their direction.
This has become beyond ridiculous.
I have personally gone from full support for Israel
to now not even supporting Israel's right to exist.
And I can't be the only one.
I feel sorry for the (clearly increasingly rare) "normal" people of Israel
but they will soon need to move out of Israel to not be bundled in with the crazies.
I get that this is a hot take, but where are the "normal" people of Israel going to move to exactly? Remind me which group of countries are offering to take in 10 million immigrants?
Fair enough, so make it 4 or 5 million or whatever number seems reasonable, but I would still like to know which countries are going to accept these millions of people.
You think fully half the population of Israel opposes the current government and the actions of the settlers?
That seems ... unlikely.
Call it a million, maybe, at most, that might want to move .. pragmatically a hundred thousand per year over the next decade.
Currently
304 million people—3.7 percent of the world's population—lived outside their country of birth in 2024, nearly double the 153.9 million in 1990, per UN Population Division data.
The United States hosted more than 52 million migrants in 2024
so the precedent is there to absorb another million across the globe, although realistically the US in its current state is unlikely to welcome "peaceniks" who'd be accused of supporting Hamas.
I was replying to a comment which stated that they didn't support "Israel's right to exist" and suggested that Israelis move. I interpreted the comment as saying "we can solve this problem by moving the Israelis out of Israel." But this is dumb. It's not like anyone can just go move to another country because they feel like it. You generally need a spouse, a job, or some other wedge to get into that country. And there are no countries volunteering to make a special exception and take in Israeli's, even at "only" a hundred thousand per year.
Of course, they also might also not feel like it. I was born and raised in the US. I strongly oppose almost everything President Trump does. I don't see why that means I should have to move.
I responding to a comment suggesting that Israelis (not settlers, but Israelis in general) should move to another place, but the comment did not specify where they should move to. Where is this place that the Israelis can go?
It always was, but things are now coming to light because their war crimes are being broadcast live for everyone to see from first person point of view.
Thank you for siding with the right side of history.
Flying cars, Super Duper Intelligence, AGI and yet we can't even stop these, we can't even have peace on earth, we can't avoid conflicts. What good these technological advances are if we can't prevent ourselves being violent apes?
A surprisingly large cohort of tech people are completely fine with fascism. I suppose it "technically" solves a lot of perceived problems in society, so it appeals to many people who severally lack in empathy or critical thinking.
i think you're being sarcastic but for others reading this without context:
- Israel has used "Hamas" as a get-out-of-jail-free card with people in the West
- Hamas are not in the West Bank (which is physical separated from Gaza, where Hamas operated)
Your "leftist, Islamist propaganda" is all over the "leftist, Islamist" media such as the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, Al Jazeera, Der Standard:

Always have been, it's all over media in Arab countries. It's just western media that is glossing over the genocide.
The amount of apologism, denial and support for the horrors Israel is perpetrating, in this forum, is unreal.
