Could you elaborate on this statement please. Israel is a colonial settler state. What rights do the Palestinians get while their land is being stolen?
Gladly- how far back would you like me to go?...1947? 1000 BCE? Suggesting that the Jewish people do not have the right to a state of their own in the middle east is a little disturbing, are you saying they deserve a state but the current boundaries are wrong or are you saying that there should not be a Jewish state in the region at all?
As for the rights of Palestinians, it is tragic that it has gotten this bad and they have very few rights at this point, but by the same token, there have been a lot of opportunities for Palestinian Authorities to acknowledge the right of a Jewish state over the decades and work more peacefully towards a two state solution. Other Muslim states also have a part to play. Bottom line is that in the region you have 90% Muslim control of the land, Having a small area controlled by another faith is really not too much to ask. So if you use a wider lens on this and look at it from he standpoint of two peoples with valid territorial claims to have safe secure borders in the region, then it is really hard to say the Muslim people are getting the short end of the stick in the middle east since they control almost all of it.
As you narrow that lens to then look at Palestine itself, or a neighborhood or a family or a child then it gets progressively more tragic. And that is where the propaganda takes over, it is heart wrenching to watch a girl explain how she hears gunshots on her way to school, but if you then added clips of Israeli children in pieces from a suicide bomber it would shift the other direction.
That is why it is so important to keep that wider lens in place, up close I am sure that the tragedy that German children endured in WWII was equally horrific, but it does not mean that the war to check their aggression and topple the Nazi regime was wrong.
