This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever read. You are justifying raping and killing and kidnapping because people are all hurting? I hope you don’t victim blame people like this in your life. I will never cheer when innocent Palestinians die. I will never say an innocent Palestinian deserved it if they are mistreated. I will mourn for every single death. You’re talking about babies getting beheaded.

It’s not Israel Palestine, it’s Israel Hamas.

Ummm, at some risk as Soren risked - I feel that Israel has not been any better than terrorists as a nation, which is what gave rise to Hamas. It is all like the eye for an eye saying, we all end up blind when we retaliate. I take only the side of true peacemakers, both sides are wrong when they kill and are violent. I want to take a long break from the news, it is all so distressing! May all beings have peace!

I continue to be honestly shocked by those sticking up for terrorists. So strange to me I would have never expected to see people justify the murders of babies children and civilians. Never before have I seen murderous terrorists supported by people living in democratic societies. I guess I have a lot to Learn about how deep rooted antisemitism really is .

While you may 'feel' that 'Israel gave rise to Hamas', you might want to 'think', and maybe do some reading, so that you might better understand the origins of Hamas and the complexity of the situation you are talking about. Indeed, may all beings have peace.

Give me an example of a single country who is a “true peacekeeper”? Israel does not start conflict but they will defend themselves. Hamas is a terrorist organization which uses schools in Gaza as a spot to launch missiles and forces their citizens to be human shields…Hamas bombs the West Bank, they are no friend to the Palestinians. Their charter chants death to the Jews and death to America…how can you compare that to a nation who sends a warning to Gaza before striking to attempt to warn the citizens who can get to safety? Even if it also warns the terrorists?

Not you EXCUSING a terrorist group’s actions. I’m sure Jeffrey Dahmer had a bad childhood, it doesn’t excuse the MURDER. You are not responsible for the trauma you survived, but you ARE responsible for how you deal with it.

At the risk of sounding crass, this event description is extremely fucked up.

Thanks Soren 🙏

This is grossly antisemitic. It’s more than that, it’s anti-human. Equating murderers and their victims? Are you out of your fucking minds? You all here need some serious help.

Wait, you're inviting terrorists to a roundtable? Doesn't that violate safety inclusion. ** Note I'm not pointing a finger**

I will not debate this with anyone. Killers are killers, none are defensible.

Louis, the Palestinians were negotiating with Israel unti Hamas took over the government.Israel is not innocent. they have followed the Geneva convention. HAMAS’ goal is to eliminate Israel. We need to protect innocent Palestinians and Israelies.

Thank you Soren. May we see all of humanity as precious.

Hamas is not precious. They are murderers who would not hesitate to rape and kill.

I am honestly shocked at the acts of terrorists of all stripes! I hope you aren't thinking I cam defending any of them, including the government actors. A government even the USA supports. ALL violence is wrong.
