    Seems hatred would do this, or view others as lower human beings, or non human

    I see we are on the cusp of discovering something here. Let’s keep it going.

    We know that the British and French created many states while dissolving the Ottoman Empire’s colonies and vassal states.

    So, why did the formation of these other states not provoke the same kind of reaction as the formation of Palestine and Israel.

    Hmmmm, I wonder what it could be.

    The shameful tactics of Hamas.

    This ought to be good... since you brought up the Ottoman Empire... share with us why the creation of Israel and displacement of Palestinians differed from the "peaceful" Ottoman Empire example?

    Oh, we are way pass that. Hamas supporting terrorists tactics are more than shameful. No one is saying otherwise.

    What about of the Israeli forces shooting women, children, journalists, first responders and bystanders?

    If you don't want women, children, "journalists", "first responders", and "bystanders" getting shot, you shouldn't use them in attacking a sovereign nation. Whoever you use in those attacks are likely to get shot and the blood is on the hands of those who sent them, not those who defended their country from the attack.

    The Palestinians never had a country for anyone to "steal"

    Peaceful? That is not my description, but yours. You therefore will have to explain it.

    This is a similar tactic used by Hamas. It was used in 2014 when they fired rockets...while surrounded by “women and children”.

    Not a new tactic, not a different result. Besides, why are we lumping “women” with “children”?

    My position on Hamas is clear.

    And asking again...

    What about Israeli forces shooting women, children, journalists, first responders and bystanders? (remove women if you want)

    I'll repeat my answer.

    If you don't want women, children, "journalists", "first responders", and "bystanders" getting shot, you shouldn't use them in attacking a sovereign nation. Whoever you use in those attacks are likely to get shot and the blood is on the hands of those who sent them, not those who defended their country from the attack.

    Why is it that you don't blame the terrorist organization, Hamas, for getting those people killed?

    Well it's the answer even if you aren't interested in it. Feel free to remain ignorant if you like, but if you choose that, you'll have to understand when people laugh at you for it.

    This is one of the most ironic things I have ever seen. From the person the whole forum laughs at.

    Perhaps the use of quotes around the word "peaceful" was a clue. Or perhaps not. Still interested in seeing your explanation of the similarities of the formation of Israel and displacement of Palestinians and the Ottoman Empire. You know, where you posted this:

    Do you know anything about the history of the region prior to 1948, or is playing ignorant your preferred strategy in these situations?
