Palestinians (Present day problem)
About a month ago, 3 Israeli teenage boys were kidnapped and murdered in the Gaza strip, which is controlled by Hamas. Israel blames all Palestinians. The Israeli mind is that if you hit them one time, they would hit us back two times. So in revenge, Israel attacked the West Bank although the reason they gave is that Palestinians did not follow a ceasefire which was agreed on in 2012 by kidnapping the teenagers. Using the incident as excuse, Israel has been bombing and attacking Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza strip. As of today, around 2000 Palestinians has been killed including civilians, women and children. Meanwhile, Israel’s losses have only been 50 soldiers. Clearly, Israel is the aggressor.
Arguments for Palestinians
1. Although Hamas does not represent all of Palestinians, it is the elected government of Palestinians. Israel should respect the government of other democratic countries. Israel does not like Hamas but it is none of their business because Palestine is sovereign state.
2. Palestinians want peace but Israel wants to destroy not only Hamas but all Palestinians. (CNN News reported many civilians killed including women and children from Israel’s attack.)
3. Israel claims rocket was fired from West Bank after only 7 hours of cease fire instead of 12 hours. (Hamas does not accept that they fired the rocket. It is n5ot sure who did it, but maybe it can be also Israel soldier going to West Bank and firing because Israel does not want peace talk.)
4. If Israel does not like Hamas, but right now it is Hamas that control the government, so Israel must talk to government of Palestinians. Actually, Israel wants to support Fatah group in discussing peace talks, but they must also deal with Hamas because they are also Palestinians and in the government.
5. Although there is competition between Hamas and Fatah. Israel should not interfere with problem within Palestinians but maybe should support any effort
