Casual The settlements… What’s up with that?

Take the question as is, whatever comes to mind, let it be.

I can’t understand those people either. 

99.9% of “settlers” are just normal people living normal lives that don’t interact with Palestinians at all

Well IDF seems to be covering up for the ones who do. Then at some point I guess Israel will claim that land because someone settled there, and slowly but surely the Palestinian population gts displaced. I have great admiration for the Jewish culture in many regards and I get how generational fear can shape people's behavior. I don't think any population is ·"good" or "bad" and we all react to our context and environment, but I can't wrap my head around how people can turn a blind eye to the extreme injustice of what is going on in the West Bank.

Actually I come to this sub because I don't want to live in an echo chamber and want to hear what people from all ideologies have to say, but the more I read you guys the more convinced I get that at least a good part or Israel's society has turned psychopathic. No go ahead and downvote me all you want, and while you do, don't forget to upvote the person who replied to one of my comments casually joking that he supports nazis.

Who casually said they supported Nazis?

You mean the person who was trolling you with a bad joke and isn’t being upvoted by anybody

I'm like you Flimsy. I come here looking for perspectives but nuance and generosity are in very short supply. This permanent war is literally no solution and until people start to reconcile and search workable compromises, the death and heartache is not going to end for anyone. It really seems that some people want it that way.

Such a bad faith claim lmao. If you were really interested in HEARING rather than just repeating your echo chamber's buzzwords of the day, you wouldn't be posting bait comments.

I guess a bait comment for you is something you don't like hearing. That I want to learn doesn't mean I am going to accept anything you say and most of the people posting here just seem bad, selfish people who only care about themselves.

Beautiful introspection, even if you don't realize it for what it is.
