This should never be a "benefit" nor is it a "benefit" to any other group of people.
Yeah just a "fake" self determination, never a real fulfilling one.
If they actually cared about that? What is that supposed to mean? Sounds to me like you are making shitty generalizations about Palestinians.
Then don't harbor terrorists. It obviously wasn't a "benefit" to the Israelis who were murdered now was it?
If Hamas cared about civilian casualties, they would never have kidnapped and executed civilians. If they cared about civilian casualties, they would negotiate their surrender.
If you're trying to spotlight Israel's treatment of Palestinians and hoping to garner sympathy, you're not going to have much success when the current world event topic is "Palestinians (Hamas) murdered and taken hostage innocent Israeli civilians."
You're right in your last statement. The world has already ignored Palestinian suffering and the result now is an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Nope, no one would sanction Israel or do anything and here we are today.
Ignoring the false statements you are making. If you want the world to support you, don't commit acts of terror on civilians.
Are you talking about Palestinians or about Hamas? Because Hamas coming "acts of terror" is not justified, and neither is Israel's acts of terror which it commits daily and without anyone giving a fuck.
The world will continue to side with the group that isn't hunting down innocent people in their homes and at festivals.
The problem with what you're saying is that Israel commits war crimes every day. So why should the world side with them?
The problem is pro-Palestinian side trying to claim that illegal detention and collateral damage from war is equal to terrorist operations that intentionally targeted massacres of civilians.
That doesn't work for anyone with a sense of nuance and common sense.
I think you only applied your own logic to Israel and not Palestinians.
There I corrected it for you.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
