Your message wants it both ways -- first you say that to defend Israel from Muslim terrorist groups -- Hezbollah & Hamas, whose charters are to obliterate Israel from the Earth -- is genocide against Palestinians; and second, that Israel is to exist according to Green Line agreements set up under international law.

Speaking of which... International law is drawn from biblical law and international law says that.
Biblical law came from the days of Jews' developing a societal order out of their own enslavement -- they came to live under the order commandments, laws, statutes, courts, judges, eyewitness testimony, and justice -- which has become the Western order of law. Not holy books.

But you can't have it both ways. Because the Shia pincer of Iran sends in Hezbollah from the north, Hamas from the south and west, neither one caring what you think about Netanyahu or genocide. They will use whatever politics they see fit to divide support for Israel, anything to reach their mission to end Israel.

When you live in an America bombarded with thousands of rockets and missiles for decades of your life, then you can get back to me about some proper way to save America and Americans.

Otherwise this whole thread is set up by your confounding geopolitical judgment. Bottom line, it doesn't help because it confounds our national integrity as Israel's major ally (and maybe only ally) by treaty against those who themselves have already terrorized America in our lifetime, and have already set up shop in Paraguay to eventually attack us again. Under some common denominator of victimization by the Great Satan and the West.

Islam does not care about international law or the West or its traitors or allies. It has all of eternity to subdue Earth.
You'd do well to read more about it before blaming Israel for existing and how it defends its existence.
