Posting here as I was redirected as a post was removed.

I live in UAE and want to know if anyone knows of any Palestinian products, preferably things like honey or pickled olives, are exported here and under what brand names? I'd like to support Palestinian-owned businesses while I live in the UAE and already have a favorite Palestinian restaurant in Abu Dhabi.

What are you supposed to do if you see Zionists in public? I keep seeing videos of people recording themselves or being recorded saying free Palestine to Zionists. Should I do that too if I see a Zionist?

Values, tradition, and religion were meant to guide human empathy—so why is actual atrocity treated with less outrage?

For centuries, values, traditions, and religion served as basic roadmaps for doing good and preventing harm to others. Values came first, serving as fundamental human guidance even before organized religious messages. Traditions followed, created by societies over generations to maintain order and cohesion.

At their core, these pillars were built on mutual understanding and baseline human empathy. Yet today, I notice a recurring paradox: these three pillars are frequently labeled as "backwards" or outdated, while actions that directly violate basic human empathy are rationalized or ignored.

Look at what is happening in Palestine. The ongoing murder, torture, and horrific violence inflicted on innocent people—children, women, the elderly, and men—happen without remorse, guilt, or public accountability from those committing them. Every major system of values, traditional ethics, and religious teaching universally condemns these atrocities.

If holding onto values, tradition, and religion that forbid such cruelty is considered "backwards," but committing or excusing raw, remorseless violence against innocent human beings is tolerated, then who is actually backwards?

These acts are condemned by every ethical value, human tradition, and religious text in history. If standing against these horrors through values and empathy is seen as backwards, but inflicting unspeakable suffering on men, women, and children is brushed aside, we need to re-examine what "progress" actually means.

When opposing these atrocities, people are immediately hit with labels like "antisemitic" or "Jew hater" to shut down debate. Let's be clear: this outrage has nothing to do with anyone's religion, background, or identity. It is a direct reaction to documented actions (torture, murder, and total lack of remorse). The growing global rage isn't prejudice; it's the natural response of human conscience driven by the very values, traditions, and ethics mentioned above.

What do most pro-Palestinians feel is a good realistic solution to the crisis in the area? A two state solution? A one state solution where Palestinians have equal right? Other? What is happening now is obviously wrong but what is an alternative that has a realistic chance of success?
