I’m specifically talking about the colonization Israel has engaged in since 1950’s. Amnesty International has numerous reports with the details and you can easily find it on their website.

I think Hamas and Hezbolah are resistance fighters.
Yes, hostages need to be returned, but so do the thousands of Palestinians (some are children) held by Israel that have been incarcerated for extremely minor infractions for years without due process.

I’ve read everything I can find documented by well known and reputable Human Rights organizations, and that is how my opinions have formed.

I don’t think it’s complicated, just once glance at a territory comparison map of land inIsrael from the 1950’s until now seems to tell the entire story.

The gang up of Arab states is understandable considering Israel’s well documented and stated plans for “Greater Israel” expansion into their territories.

Again, these are opinions I stand by, based on information I researched from Human Rights groups.
