    what if u were israel

    should israel just let palestine attack and have israel intentionally hold back the fact they are much more powerful? if you poke a bear and get mauled do we blame the bear?

    in america we would likely blame the bear but folks dont get consequences now.

      Wow all over the wrong map. No, in American wildlife conservation and training, the wild animal is not blamed because humans have the ability to plan and reason and animals have an extremely limited ability to plan and reason and are practically only able to react.

      You compare Israel to a mindless beast without the ability to plan or reason, ignoring that Israel has been invading Palestine for 75 years, carrying out a obvious territorial expansion “plan” according to their"reason"(I want it and I am stronger than you).

      You’re incorrect that Israel is doing this as mindless reactionaries, But you’re probably making that assumption because as an American you are trained to be reactionary and hold knee-jerk reactions in high regard.

      A bunch of Saudi Arabians bombed your New York! Quick, let’s invade several unrelated countries! How reasonable. What a good plan. 80% approval ratings.

      This declaration of war, if followed through, is a continuation of the systematic territorial invasion and execution of Palestinian civilians that has been going on for most of a century.

      It’s just going to happen faster now.
