      Because you can’t just occupy a country because you don’t like the government that would form if you didn’t. Can you imagine if Russia tried to say that in Ukraine?

        Can you image if Germany would have been occupied after WW1? So many lives saved.

        The Palestine people deserve a free country. This is the absolute minimum we can do for them after their homes get destroyed in retaliation for what their government did.

          Can you image if Germany would have been occupied after WW1? So many lives saved.

          You could use this argument to justify literally any act of oppression in history.

          The Palestine people deserve a free country. This is the absolute minimum we can do for them

          Indeed, ending the occupation and recognising Palestinian sovereignty is the very first step Isreal needs to take.
