Neither party is in the right. Israel is a violent apartheid state, and Palestine is large ruled by a terrorist organization. Both Israelis and Palestinians have the right to exist, but neither side's leadership respects each other's existence.

The victims in all of this are both the Israeli and Palestinian citizens, so taking a side isn't really a sound option. I am failing to see anyone who aligns as pro-Israel or pro-Palestine make coherent arguments about what happened this week. The only reasonable alignment is to be anti-war, anti-terrorism, and anti-apartheid.

I place some — not uniformly distributed, only on those that do this — blame on the Israeli citizens that knowingly move into a recently captured area. They're literally colonizing the Palestinians land. I don't fuck with colonizers.

I'm curious about how this is done. Do they just kick Palestinians out of their homes or do they make new towns or what exactly happens that is so effective at displacing others?

Iirc they literally just take over some land, forcibly remove or execute anyone who won't leave, and then they move in and start building. Literal colonizer behavior.
