    I mean, what the fuck do you think Israel has done to the native Arab populations there for decades on end…? Why is it a one-way street for you? You do realize that more Palestine civilians have died at the hands of Israeli soldiers than Israeli civilians from Palestinian terrorists… Riiiight… ?

    If they can have their own television in their “open-air prison” surely they can have pretty much anything else. Build infrastructure, not rockets.

    So I can do whatever the fuck I want to you in my prison, so long as I give you a television and an antenna…? Interesting. Think that through a bit more.

    “Ancestor’s land” huh? Maybe first make yourselves look like a civilized people? When you become a terrorist, you lose all culture and therefore any rights for your ancestor stuff.

    Has it ever occurred to you that we were terrorists when we firebombed and carpet-bombed 90+ Japanese cities? Did it ever occur to you that many civilians died in Dresden, Germany…? It's all about context, my friend. Hell, Americans were terrorists when we defied the British monarchy. If someone literally took ships full of people to YOUR land, and then slowly began displacing and annexing your land as you continue to wane into poverty, yeah, you would get pretty upset, too. Hence the famous adage, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter."

    You have little empathy; that is, you lack the historical awareness or capacity to place yourself in the shoes of these people.

      You do realize that math doesn't allow anyone practice terrorism, right? If you justify terrorism with that nobody will listen to you, and rightfully so.

      So I can do whatever the fuck I want to you in my prison, so long as I give you a television and an antenna…? Interesting. Think that through a bit more.

      The point is, if you call such a life "a prison" you have no idea what a prison really is. Can they build? Yes. Can they educate themselves? Yes.

      Has it ever occurred to you that we were terrorists when we firebombed and carpet-bombed 90+ Japanese cities?

      Has it ever accured to you that you are justifying terrorists who do terrorism regularly and are teached to do so by hamas?

      It's all about context, my friend.

      You are avoiding the context. The context being a current state of the world society. If Palestinians really want to come out from their "prison" and connect to the world, someone should've told them that regular terrorism will not lead there.

      You have little empathy; that is, you lack the historical awareness or capacity to place yourself in the shoes of these people.

      Hell yes, I will never want to put myself in the shoes of people who want to and enjoy killing. The lack of historical awareness is on Palestinians though.

        Perhaps the real terrorists are indeed the squatters stealing slowly stealing land and killing the majority of civilians throughout this conflict…(hint: Israel).

        Your arguments are not even remotely compelling but utterly deflective while excusing mass atrocities by Israel.

          Perhaps? Or perhaps terrorists are those who teach their children they need to kill Jews.

          So is it about the land or the killing? How exactly do you think doing terrorism will help "unsteal" any land?

          Are you excusing mass terrorism by Palestinians? I think you do. Is that what you call "compelling"?
