So how upset would you be if an invading number of people came in and kicked your ancestors off of their land and then treated you very badly? And what is worse, is that the promises that were broken and the bad faith negotiations, the constant pushing and treated like a second class citizen in a country that you are just as entitled to be. Revolutions and civil wars have been fought over those 2 kinds of treatment.
They attacked anyway and only 2 reasons rationalize this
either they thought this would lead to a massive Arab uprising
or their bank accounts are getting low and want to tap into the influx of money and aid this attack will bring

Or let teenagers with sod all life experience decide for you.
She's had 19 years living in a country in continual conflict and survived the largest terror attack in that counties living memory , nobody is deciding anything for me I know right from wrong.
No, you plainly do not know because you posted this and agree that it wasnt the fault of the murderers, the rapists and kidnappers but some politician who somehow failed to talk these animals out of doing what they were always going to do.
Honestly I am disappointed in you.
her anger is not directed at the people of Gaza but Netanyahu and those who calling for "revenge
The Gaza Strip has been under the de facto governing authority of the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) since 2007, and has faced years of conflict, poverty, and humanitarian crises.

She says she blames 'Bibi' 100% for this and she calls for peace, but doesn't say how to make peace with a group that has as it's sole purpose the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews. Hamas has been offered peace and a two state solution, but they reject it every time. She doesn't say how to make peace happen.
Ah, youthful idealism from this young lady. How quaint.
She doesn’t say how to make peace because you can’t make peace with them. The proof of that is decades of attempted and failed diplomacy that got us here.
Are there solutions? Well, sure, but it’s real hard to “negotiate” when the other side isn’t looking for unity, they’re looking for your removal and extinction.
The sad reality is, listening to someone like this lady will only result in more dead Israelis.
All of that said, I agree, I’d far prefer a peaceful solution where Gaza/Israel stop fighting and let each territory go forth independently and peacefully toward their goals.
But, I’d prefer a lot of things. Instead, peace will get created the hard way.
The left has done a nice job creating her. Maybe she’ll also find a guy who abuses her and she’ll always tell everybody to shut up, because it’s not his fault and he can’t help it. Until that day that she can’t say anything anymore.
I agree - family members of mine had to brave up to make it through the WWII Siberian work / death camps. They were Polish Roman Catholic, everybody suffered through that war for years.
Who came to save them? No one. They did what they had to do, no whimpering on social media, and made it through all the battles across Europe to fight for freedom for you and me.
Apparently that has all been forgotten.
I don't see where she is doing anything more than telling her experiences and what it means from where she and those with her stand.
The Gaza Strip has been under the de facto governing authority of the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) since 2007, and has faced years of conflict, poverty, and humanitarian crises. Inhabited since at least the 15th century B.C., the Gaza Strip area has been dominated by many different peoples and empires throughout its history; it was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in the early 16th century.

I think the big picture and what those in the blast zone mean is, how is it better to blow up babies than behead them?
Yet she trashes the President to destabilize the entire country as a result of her ignorance on Palestine and the Gaza Strip.

I agree with @Waterglass, this is not a new situation, it's been going on for many years, time to get out of the area.

Given the always obvious and now confirmed fact that the government and the IDF allowed the attacks to happen under their noses (and, I suspect, had a hand in planning, funding and executing them along with certain other western intelligence agencies), the assault on Gaza is something akin to W's WMD search in Iraq. The Israeli government - like the US government in 2001 - just wanted an excuse so they fabricated it, allowed an "atrocity" to happen to create justifcation.
I have been crassly saying that I support Israel and Palestine equally; they've each sworn the utter destruction of the other and I wish them both complete success.
