How is this getting downvoted? Regardless what your opinion on the matter is, this is objectively true. Israeli forces and government have been pushing into Palestine more and more, forcibly removed Palestine people from their homes and settling people there. So, Palestine literally would not exist in a few more years.
It's downvoted because it's objectively false. Israel has been attacked since day on in attempt to remove it from the map. If they were to stop fighting they wouldn't exist. If it weren't for Palestine constantly fighting, there wouldn't even be a wall around Gaza.
I would say it's valid to dislike this as an oversimplification. It's a super complex series of unintended and intended consequences, bad ideologies, and terrible behavior generally.
They say war is a failure of imagination, and it has been increasingly hard for either of the belligerents to imagine peace.
I think the only humane view we can take as bystanders is to support asylum seekers as much as possible and condemn war crimes no matter who does them. Most people are just caught up in the gears of history. Nobody deserves this.
Destruction of Israel is in Hamas' charter. This meme is beyond stupid.
