[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The perpetual victimhood of Israel, when they are statistically and literally the aggressor, is completely transparent. We won’t be silenced by your shrieks of antisemitism whenever you’re called out for ethnic cleansing and perpetuating a genocide. Jewish feelings do not trump Palestinian lives. [/quote]

What you mean is that statistically and literally Israel has been the constant target of Palestinian violence since 1948.  That Israel has always prevailed against those who attack them doesn't change the fact that they are the victims of terrorism, not the perpetrators.

"Aggressor" has a dictionary meaning.  Twisting it to try to label Israel, the only victim of regional terror, with a pejorative when they defend themselves is both laughable and immoral.  Feelings have nothing to do with it.  That Palestinian attempts at genocide fail doesn't excuse them, and doesn't insulate the perpetrators from retaliation.

If you want to express support for Palestinian lives, you'd do better to suggest an end to Palestinian terrorism, without which there would be no need for retaliation or for self-defense.  Look at Jordan and Egypt, which gave up their aggression against Israel after their defeats following ill-considered military adventurism and which have enjoyed peace as a result.  [/quote]
