I wasn’t going to give that uncredible source and those cherry-picked “holocaust scholars” any credence.

First, it’s Hamas collectively punishing its own people by not playing by the rules of war themselves and taking civilian hostages. It’s not based on ethnicity, like Hamas’ charter’s call to eradicate all Jews is based on ethnicity. This has to do with a population who, in 2006 decided to democratically elect a designated terrorist grouping to be their government. They are reaping what they have sowed.
You mean the world finally allowed the Jewish people to establish a country in their ancestral homeland (which has maintained a Jewish presence in that land for the last 4000 years) and the Arab world continually rejects a partition plan that would allow 2 states for 2 people, instead resorting to terrorism and a repeated call for the extermination of the Jewish people, resulting in Israel having to do what it must to protect its interests and the interests of the Jewish people everywhere.
Let’s not forget - the people referring to themselves as Palestinians could have had a state any number of times in the last century, but it’s not really about that, it’s about killing Jews. If a state is what they wanted, they could have had it by now:
San Remo conference decisions, 1920 League of Nations decisions, 1922 Peel Commission proposal, 1937 UN General Assembly proposal, 1947 Israel’s stretched out hand for peace, 1948 Israel’s offer of fixed official borders, 1949 Israel’s stretched out hand for peace, 1967 Begin/Saadat peace proposal, 1978 Rabin’s contour-for-peace, 1995 Barak/Clinton peace offer, 2000 Sharon’s peace gesture, 2005 Olmert/Bush peace offer, 2008 Netanyahu’s invitation for peace, talks, 2009 Obama/Kerry contour-for peace, 2014
Turns out the terrorist organization holding 200 civilians hostage won’t release them in order to save the people they pretend to be fighting for.
The missiles launched were from Lebanon into Israel. Then Israel retaliated with artillery.
He has been censured by the Israeli government and stripped him of his ability to be in briefing meetings. Many in the Knesset are also now working to have him removed. The prime minister immediately released a statement that this was completely inappropriate and contrary to the way in which the IDF operates in accordance with the rules of armed conflicts.
