The oppression of Jewish people has a long and complex history, spanning centuries. Here are some notable examples of Jewish oppression, though this is by no means an exhaustive list:

1. Ancient Times: In ancient Egypt, Jewish people, along with other Hebrews, were subjected to slavery and mistreatment. This oppression continued until their liberation, as described in the biblical book of Exodus.

2. Expulsion from Judea: In 70 AD, the Roman Empire destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem and expelled Jewish people from Judea. This marked the beginning of the Jewish diaspora, a period of dispersion and persecution.

3. Medieval Europe: In medieval Europe, Jewish communities faced significant persecution. They were subjected to discriminatory laws, restricted from owning land, and often forced to live in segregated areas known as ghettos. Pogroms, violent attacks against Jewish communities, were also common.

4. The Inquisition: During the Spanish Inquisition of the 15th century, Jewis

5. Present day: anti semitism on the rise. I hate that word it's just pure racism nothing else. Just like Hitler convinced the Germans that the Jews were the bad people. Now the woke fraternity is doing the same.

It's time to wake up. Blaming ,free democracies for the evils of terrorism and the aftermath of terrorist attacks.

You reap what you sow.

Why is it silly? Leveraging the ongoing massacre of civilians to achieve a military surrender is a war crime. That’s not my opinion.

The rest of your selective history lesson is essentially irrelevant to this conversation - unless you’re again suggesting that international law should not apply if you’ve been a victim previously, it’s just pure distraction from Israel’s current action, which is all I am discussing.

It sounds like you're frustrated with the situation and feel like the solutions suggested aren't practical. Perhaps we can explore alternative approaches or discuss the underlying issues to find a more constructive way forward?

I'd ask a simple question.

If Hamas cared as much about their people as you clearly do, why don't they release what's left of the hostages and surrender?

That would end the killing and suffering one suspects.

I also suspect that they have no desire for the conflict to stop or give a damn about the lives being lost.
I'd guess that all they are thinking about right now is regrouping at some point and attacking Israel again.

If you are going to show your disgust, then show it for humanity. These two sides are just part of the same problem. Man's inhumanity to man. It just so happens that one of them is on our side of the board.

I wouldn't bother with him. He clearly doesn't understand the nuances of a conflict. He's just another woke crying for attention showing everybody how selectively compassionate he is.
I have given him numerous solutions and he just calls me a 6 year old without actually giving any solutions himself.

Hamas does not prioritize human life for several reasons. One key factor is their extremist ideology or political goals, which may justify the use of violence and disregard for human life as a means to achieve their objectives. Hamas, believes that the end justifies the means and that sacrificing lives, including their own members and innocent civilians, is necessary for their cause.

Hamas also seek to instill fear and create chaos in society by targeting innocent people. By causing mass casualties and inflicting harm on civilians, they aim to spread terror and disrupt the normal functioning of society. This disregard for human life serves their purpose of gaining attention, creating divisions, and destabilizing governments or social structures.

Furthermore, Hamas operates in environments where they have little respect for international laws and norms. They may view their enemies as legitimate targets and see any means, including indiscriminate violence, as justified in their struggle.

Most individuals and societies like Israel and the west value human life and condemn acts of terrorism. Others, will unwittingly support them ...

I'd question how anyone could not be feeling at least 'frustrated' at a situation which is seeing children being massacred in their thousands.

The solution is for Israel to stop doing it, obviously. The solution is for Israel to respect international law and it's commitments as an advanced democracy, obviously.

Israel is more than capable of enforcing it's borders without bombing the s*** out of innocent people every day. That's my solution.
