WASHINGTON, D.C. – After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.

    and i am clearly saying there are no good guys in this conflict,no one side has the moral high ground over the other.

    palestine and israel have the right to exist and to overly focus on the elimination/vilification of one over the other is not going to solve anything let alone your so called ending of genocide or equal rights.

      Israel was founded on ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism, directly responsible for the ongoing apartheid, and is currently engaging in genocide.

      I’m not saying Hamas if good. The majority of Palestinians don’t either. Palestinians deserve a free and fair election to choose their representatives, but that’s not really possible living under a violent apartheid. Israel has prevented any peace solution. Armed militant groups like Hamas are the only ones fighting against the apartheid.

      This is a war between the occupied and the occupier.

      To Israel, Palestinians have never had any right to exist, or human rights, or civil rights.

      I agree with New Historians on a One-State Solution. If you’re genuinely interested in the history of the conflict, you should read their books. They are significantly more detailed than any article and written with a huge amount of sources from both sides of the story.

      The book ‘A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples’ by Ilan Pappe has a detailed account of the history since the early 1920s

          What is wrong with you.

          Anti-zionism and criticism of the state of Israel are not at all the same as antisemitism. Israel and its actions have never and will never represent all Jewish people, regardless of how much they try to claim so.

          If you’re conflating the two, you are being antisemitic.

            so far,i have been equally critical of israel and hamas.

            based off your links and articles,seems like the one villifying and conflating is you.

              Please tell me how I am conflating antisemitism and anti-zionism. You’re the one who claimed I’m antisemitic when I’ve been exclusively talking about Israel.

              My main sources are B’TSelem, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Ilan Pappe, Nur Mursalha, and Avi Shlaim.
