This is the fundamental difference on how one side chooses not to teach hate while the other side breeds it, pushes it, and encourages it.

You think Israel breeds, pushes, and encourages hate? Strong words. Since we know you don't think Palestine has schools, we know that only Israel, in your view, can have an education system. If you thought that there were schools in Palestine, your sentence might be open to interpretation. But you don't, so it isn't.

 you never hear of Arab citizens of Israel complain about Israel's education system.

Precisely.

"Precisely"? They say Palestinian children have schools, you say they don't. You disagree with them.

UN aid over the years goes to education in the Palestinian Arab schools

Wait, but bass4funk says there are no schools in Palestine. Who is correct?

Unfortunately Palestinian Arab children are taught to hate Israel--in fact, they do not refer to Israel in textbooks but rather 'the 1948 Occupied territories". This is undisputed. And UN aid over the years goes to education in the Palestinian Arab schools.interestingly, you never hear of Arab citizens of Israel complain about Israel's education system.

So, the promise of more UN and US money is appeasing Hamas' leadership, until they can rebuild and initiate the next terrorist attacks.

Precisely.

President Biden is being incredibly generous to offer more aid to the Palestinian Arabs. The United Nations will have a tough time making sure humanitarian aid does not go into Hamas' pockets to build more missiles and tunnels, used to launch attacks on Israel. Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization even by Japan.

They do, that has been shown time and time again.

It hasn't.

Like I said, instead of using money to teach kids how to hate

Where are they being taught this? You've said that there are no schools in Palestine.

Rhetorical question.

No, it's a legitimate question. Where did the buildings come from? Who paid for them to be built?

They don't.

They do, that has been shown time and time again. If you don't believe it, you don't and that is your right.

I put it to you that, if there are no schools, then hate cannot be taught in school - because those schools do not exist. You confirmed that you do not believe that there are schools in Palestine. Logically, therefore, no hate can be taught in Palestinian schools. I'm sorry you are having difficulty following the logic of your own thoughts, but I'm happy to help you understand your views, as ever.

Like I said, instead of using money to teach kids how to hate and to buy more weapons, they should put it to a more constructive and meaningful purpose, the only thing that Hamas will do is just get more people killed.

Where did the buildings Israel destroyed come from?

Rhetorical question.

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

No, but at the same time, why would Hamas (as they always do) hide and launch their attacks around, near, or in an area occupied by children?

They don't.

I never said that and you are doing it again. Stop coming up with your own narrative on what others say or think.

Hamas could have used the millions it gets from Iran and other international communities and could have used the funds for creating better facilities, homes, schools and none of that has happened.

Do you think the 2 year olds that Israel killed were a threat to their state?

No, but at the same time, why would Hamas (as they always do) hide and launch their attacks around, near, or in an area occupied by children?

So you agree that Palestinian children aren't being taught in schools to hate Israel. Thank you for confirming.

Based on it being attacked and if that requires extreme measures to root out the terrorists, so be it.

Do you think the 2 year olds that Israel killed were a threat to their state?

With the money they have received over the years they could have built them, but didn't

So you agree that Palestinian children aren't being taught in schools to hate Israel. Thank you for confirming.

You're saying that Israel should destroy buildings because the infrastructure is bad,

Based on it being attacked and if that requires extreme measures to root out the terrorists, so be it.

There are no schools in Palestine? OK.

With the money they have received over the years they could have built them, but didn't, but they can build and use rockets? Well, I hope Hamas learned its lesson this time, only time will tell.

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

As it should

You're saying that Israel should destroy buildings because the infrastructure is bad, and acknowledge that the infrastructure is bad because Israel destroyed the buildings. This is the sort of circular illogic we expect of you, so congratulations for continuing to live down to expectations.

It definitely didn't go to building schools or new infrastructure.

There are no schools in Palestine? OK. So you disagree with the claims that Palestinian schools teach children to hate Israel, then. After all, how could you teach something to children in schools when those schools don't exist?

The infrastructure looks bad because Israel just spent two weeks reducing it to rubble.

As it should when you're a terrorist and thinking you can take on Israel, but even before this, where did the money go? It definitely didn't go to building schools or new infrastructure.

Looking at the infrastructure doesn't look like the money was well spent.

Inaccurate.

Very, very Accurate, so where did the money go? Looking at the infrastructure doesn't look like the money was well spent.

Yep thanks to President Biden for selling weapons to Israel.

Do you think this is a good thing?

1 ( +1 / -0 )

Yep thanks to President Biden for selling weapons to Israel.

"My party still supports Israel," Biden said. "Until the region says unequivocally they acknowledge the right of Israel to exist as an independent Jewish state, there will be no peace."

-2 ( +2 / -4 )

Hamas thanked Iran publicly for the weapons.

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

Israel destroys civilian targets in Gaza and the rest of the world gets to pay for the reconstruction

And under that ruse we get to see where the money goes, that makes perfect sense now where all the money went to buy these rockets.

1200 Palestinians with Israeli citizenship living in Insrael have been arrested since May 12th. They announced 500 more will be arrested in the next 48 hours for protesting in the past few weeks. This is how they provoke unrest. This is not shown on mainstream media. They will kick doors down and take these young folks to jail for speaking against Apartheid. Please do some research and check these facts. Palestinians inside Israel that account for 20% of the population also need your voice. It's not just the Palestinians in the occupied territories.
