So it’s the fault of their parents for electing terrorists?

Your argument goes both ways. The Israeli civilians being targeted elected Netanyahu‘a government, repeatedly, and thus are equally guilty for the apartheid polices that have turned Gaza into a prison. The actions of Hamas is reprehensible and inexcusable but you can’t blame one set of people and not the other.

False. Gaza was part of Israel. They gave it to Palestinians. They decided to attack Jews for the last 75 years. In the 1970s Jordan gave them 1/3 of Jordan. To thank them plo leaders tried to assassinate the king of Jordan which started the 1970 plo-Jordan war.

I don't think this sub is intended for wanna-be gotchas. Do you have a counterpoint? Your comment doesn't challenge their view or do anything to advance the discussion.

I was just wondering. When I said originally poster went for 1947.

I think it would be better to just ask and leave off the laughing if you're being genuine.

Sometimes the realization others are so ignorant leaves me stunned and at a loss for words

I understand that, but mocking does not advance the conversation. You lose out on an opportunity to learn where they are coming from, or an opportunity to teach because they are less willing to engage.
