Israel deports Greta Thunberg after Gaza-bound ship she was on was seized

21. Ok, we are just going to have to disagree

And thats ok. Neither of us were there and I don't 100% believe either account of the incident, much less how it's portrayed in the press.

With respect to the Gaza issue, t the end of the day, I find any justification for bombing innocent people, especially women and children, abhorrent.
The refugees in Gaza did not choose their government. Few living in Gaza today were old enough to vote for Hamas 18 years ago.
You don't counter terrorism with terrorism of your own. The people of Gaza have been held in an open air prison, some for their whole lives, by someone that can cut off water or electricity or food at will and have done so in the past.
Not to mention how Palestinians are treated in the West Bank.

I just find it disturbing that a group of people that were forced into ghettos and then harassed and attacked and treated so horribly and then systemically murdered, would be so comfortable treating people like they have treated the innocent people in Gaza (not all people in Gaza are innocent but the majority are). These are women and children, desperately poor people, trapped in a fight not of their own making being made to suffer out of misplaced sense of revenge.
What Hamas did was evil. What the innocent people of Gaza and the West Bank are enduring is no better.
That's all I have to say.
