50% of the population in Palestine are children under the age of 15. In Gaza, it's 45%. One thing I've noticed is news media equating Hamas with the majority of Palestinians, they weren't even born when they came into power. Apartheid Israel and Palestine are not the same. Israel is the aggressor. Israel and the IDF is not more moral than Hamas. They're two sides of the same coin. Apartheid Israel has ethnic cleansed so many Palestinians that there are now 5.9 million stateless refugees in Jordan and Lebanon. That's half of Israel's population. Illegal Settlers living in Palestine can vote in Israel but not Palestinians. Apartheid South Africa did the same, they put the people in their own "country" and so couldn't vote. Israel doesn't want 1 state as that would mean millions more voting. And it doesn't want 2 states as that would mean giving up valuable land. The settlers kill and burn homes to get rid of people: [steal homes]( ▶ this video ) and destroy olive tree groves. They pour concrete into Palestinian farmers' water wells. They even have a [segregated road system in the West Bank]( link ) [They control the water completely]( link ). [They get 12 hours of electricity a day]( link ) The Gaza [blockade]( link ) is a concentration camp of 2.2 million people where 44% are children. No access to water, electricity, aid, medicine. Even the sea is not accessible: link
What does that have to do with the current-day persecution of Palestinians by Apartheid Israel? Children under the age of 15 in Palestine make up 50% of the population. In Gaza, it's 45%. One thing I've noticed is news media equating Hamas with the majority of Palestinians, they weren't even born when they came into power. Apartheid Israel and Palestine are not the same.

It's not really complex or anything, what make this issue looks "hyper complex" is that the aggressor in this case is fully supported by the "Western" bloc with it's powerful media and it's hard and soft power, but morally it's a simple issue. When a stealer steal your home and kill your parents and children this makes them criminal for each moment they live in that house and for each breathe they take from the air of your home. The issue is really simple, just watch this video of Jacob [1] (American zionist settler) telling the real owner of the house "If I didn't steal it someone else will", these people are committing their crimes in full awareness and without a shred of empathy or morality or anything, really.

Hmm...I remember this same logic being used before. ▶ this video Just because someone else would steel it, does not mean it belongs to you. What is this...kindergarten level morality.
