There's no brainwashing needed to be able to read a history book at every turn. It's been the Arabs who have attacked and the Israelis who have defended.
And just like we saw in October Palestinians struck out and now they're crying because they're losing yet another war they start. It's an age-old tactic for Arabs to use human suffering in order to garner sympathy from the West, and it works for good reason. Nothing has changed since it was pointed out that peace will not come until Arabs love their children as much as they hate Jews and nothing will change until they stop raising martyrs and start deradicalizing their people. Defunding UNRWA is a good first step.

10 Myths of Israel
lol can’t help but notice that they didn’t respond again
The gish gallop doesn't change the fact that the Arab Nations instigated and started every war since the inception of Israel. Half of those posts affirm Arab aggression as well.
Also notably missing from the list is the near million Jews ethnically cleansed from the Arab countries surrounding Israel in the 40s. For all the talk of the Nakba, there were more Jews displaced than Arabs. Yet one group accepted reality and built a nation. The other is still fighting a war they lost 3 generations ago.
lol didn’t even read it
I've read most of what you've posted here in my university education. More than half of that is irrelevant. Of course non israelis don't have rights in Israel. Israeli Arabs do though. Half of your posts affirm Arab aggression too.
Plenty of back and forth, are you denying the fact that the Arab Nations instigated and were the aggressors in each of the wars started since the inception of Israel?
Somehow, I'm not convinced you read any of the links. Did you know over 250 thousand Palestinians were forcibly displaced before Israel declared independence?
Wow, the other guy already addressed the history books part but I wanted to stop for a second and focus on
Wonder how people would take it if we were addressing the other party in this conflict, and someone like you would throw in a gross generalisation, pointing out that it goes back a long time.
LoL, like gross generalizing hasn't warped the word Zionist into the updated version of dirty Jew.
The history remains the same, the surrounding Arab Nations have been attacking Israel since it's inception. they refuse to acknowledge Israel and they continue to feed bodies into martyrdom in the name of their goal of a pan arabian caliphate. The wild thing is they don't even deny it, but the West refuses to accept their own words.
I can give multiple examples of group members who disagree with elements of their group so substantively, they split off and form new groups. Schisms are normal reactions to outside/inside actors co-opting or directing a group, Mensheviks and Bolsheviks, Protestants and Catholics, America and the Commonwealth…
If you’re upset that something is being done by a group you’re a part of, who openly declares to be working towards a goal that is unpopular outside the group, leave the group. There are plenty of Jews and Jewish groups that reject revisionist Zionism and/or Kahanism, the notion of Jewishness is not owned by a political party nor ideology. Claiming that criticism of the movement is a dog whistle, becomes unconvincing and is disingenuous to the reader
So its okay for you to do it? Must be confusing to be you mate. I won't even touch the second part, someone posted a few links before, since you keep mentioning 'history' it might be time to start reading about it instead if just making things up
Most of those links supported the position that Arabs are the aggressors FFS. Did you even read them?
I'm very familiar with the history of this region, and I'm very positive that it was not the Israelis who started the wars they've suffered from.
It's actually perfectly fine for Israel to defend itself, that much was made clear in the ICJ ruling. What the ruling didn't establish though is that there's a genocide happening.
Bro... How do You imagine state of Israel was founded?
Just curious 🤔🤨
The people who were living in the region fought off invaders, named a King and started spreading the tribes out from there according to the archeological record.
The problem with your hypothesis is that all of us can read a history book, and yet few would agree with the majority of Israeli citizens that murdering children is justified.
Again, if someone were persecuted, why would that make him want to murder random children? It makes no logical sense. The only explanation is brainwashing and religious zealotry.
LoL!
Ok, do You Kno how the state of Israel was founded ?!
You mean when King David granted lands to the tribes?
Or more recently when the British mandate was lifted, and Jordan and Israel were granted nation status by the UN? Do you know how India and Pakistan was founded?
The amount of propaganda in this post is hilarious. It was Jewish land the entire time baby. Always will be now too. Cry harder.
Some nice racism in there.
Being Arab isn't a race and if it was I'd be saying it about myself.
Being Muslim is definitely not a race; not so sure about the Arab part.
Race is a social construct after all. Humans are all one specie of Animal. What we see are just slight genetical variation from one ethnicity/culture to another.
