No one seems to have noticed that Israel is quietly and brutally annexing the West Bank while the world is distracted by Trump's chaos in Iran.

@DeWayfarer aha. The algorithm for the site so skewed horribly pro-Israel and anti-Islam

@Waveney oh it's not the politics. More of a social control to limit trolling.

@chilloutab2 You are wrong. There's a big difference. I believe Israel has the right to exist. @helenS does not believe the same for Palestine.

@Waveney I do not see sufficient evidence at least in this thread to conclude either that she does not believe Palestine has a right to exist or that you believe Israel has the right to exist (until your last message to me).
If you're basing your view on previous conversations with her, then I'm sorry I would not be informed about those.

It's good to see you're for a 2 state solution - in my view the sanest possible outcome of the Jew-Arab mess.
But we do need to bear in mind that Hamas is not for a 2 state solution, and also that Israel has majorly over reacted.

@chilloutab2 I have interacted with @helenS before, and she wants nothing less than the total eradication of Palestine and the Palestinian people.

I am for a 2 state solution, but Israel is ignoring international law and illegally annexing the West Bank, while Netanyahu's good buddy Trump ensures the world's attention is turned away.

And if you think that there's still a ceasefire in Gaza, then think again.

We also need to bear in mind that Hamas has nothing to do with the West Bank.
