As of 2021, 35 states have passed bills and executive orders designed to discourage boycotts of Israel. Many of them have been passed with broad bipartisan support. Most anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel.

Yeah there might be more to it but I'm pretty sure that assassination fucked up peace for the last 20 years.

Here's one of the sources I used to come to my conclusion, it can give a more detailed explanation of the breakdown https://www.britannica.com/topic/Oslo-Accords#ref360514

Copied from myself elsewhere:

In 94 we (royal) almost had peace. In '93 The Oslo accords promised Palestinians self governance in 5 years. Israel under Rabin and Abbas with the PLO had an agreement for Palestine to be run by the PA in the mean time and work towards peace.

Rabin along with either Abbas or Arafat (can't remember) even pulled Israeli troops out of occupied Palestine and gave land back as part of the peace agreement, marking the most significant step towards peace we will see.

But then Rabin was assassinated in 95 by a zionist. Israel turns over to Netanyahu. Netanyahu refuses to meet with Arafat.

Oslo II fell apart as the US refused to recognize Hamas (who had popular support), preferring the secular Fatah (PA). Whats the point in holding an election if it wont be recognized anyways? Hamas doesn’t enter the '96 race.

At some point Netanyahu starts funding Hamas knowing that he can also pit Hamas against the Fatah. Netanyahu will fund Hamas on multiple occasions throughout the 90’s and 2000’s.

In '97 the US declares Hamas a terrorist group, ending any chance of an election that satisfies the people.

Hamas wins the '06 election

Google says it's a research institute but there are photos of kids on horseback?

Why target a lone school when theres like 15 more in a dense area 6 miles to the north east? Maybe too hard to get too?

Edit: might be a middle school? https://sites.google.com/a/sulam.co.il/daat_herum/home

Edit: or a high school of 100

I've marked what I believe is the only school in the immediate area in purple

Edit: There may be a second school, an elementary school, above the purple arrow, in the buildings with the blue "roofs" in the top right.

Remember when we almost had peace in '94 and then a Zionist fucked it all up?

Yeah but nobody wants to pick up a book.

In 94 we (royal) almost had peace. In '93 The Oslo accords promised Palestinians self governance in 5 years. Israel under Rabin and Abbas with the PLO had an agreement for Palestine to be run by the PA in the mean time.

I dk if it was more Abbas or Arafat but one of the two along with Rabin even pulled Israeli troops out of occupied Palestine and gave it back as part of the peace agreement, marking the most significant step towards peace we will see.

But then Rabin was assassinated in 95 by a zionist. Israel turns over to Netanyahu. Netanyahu refuses to meet with Arafat.

Oslo II fell apart as the US refused to recognize Hamas (who had popular support), preferring the secular Fatah (PA). Whats the point in holding an election if it wont be recognized anyways? Hamas doesn't enter the '96 race.

At some point Netanyahu starts funding Hamas knowing that he can also pit Hamas against the Fatah. Netanyahu will fund Hamas on multiple occasions throughout the 90's and 2000's.

In '97 the US declares Hamas a terrorist group, ending any chance of an election that satisfies the people.

Hamas wins the '06 election

Hamas had popular support back in the 90's and we (royal) almost had peace without the international community's help. Except a zionist killed Israeli PM Rabin in '95.

In '97 the US declared Hamas terrorists (because they could use the Fatah to get what they wanted).

I’m dumb.

#Urgent Important statement for residents of Gaza City In recent days, we have appealed to you to leave Gaza City to the south of Wadi Gaza in order to preserve your safety. I would like to inform you that the IDF will allow movement on the indicated streets without any harm between the hours of 10:00 - 16:00. For your safety, take advantage of the short time to move towards the south - from Beit Hanoun to Khan Yunis. If you care about yourself and your loved ones, go south as instructed. Rest assured that Hamas leaders have taken care of themselves and are taking cover from strikes in the region. Residents of Al-Shati, Al-Rimal and West Al-Zaytoun will also be allowed to move on Daldul and Al-Sanaa Streets towards my street By At Saladin and the sea

Same method, google translate app

Edit: Feel free to copy this OP

In the very recent past they shot an American-Palestinian journalist in the neck and then attacked people at her funeral and ripped the flag off her hearse

Definitely agree, I actually called out another article for literally the same behavior. I just don't think it's really necessary here as no extraordinary or contested claims are being made.

MEE has been pretty solid this week. TBH I've never heard of them before this week but I have yet to see them make a claim that other major media outlets didn't eventually confirm.

Pretty sure that media bias site rates them as mostly trustworthy with the issue being that we don't know who they are funded by but 0 reports of false stories.

I mean it's not a debate, Israel by 36x.

(2008-2020 because those are the numbers I was able to find: https://www.ochaopt.org/data/casualties)

Or just accept that we have two (or more, really) groups of people that have historical and cultural import around the same region?

To be honest I don't care about anyones special fucking book. Tracing backwards the land belongs to:

The Palestinian peoples: 1940's-now

The Ottoman Empire: 1500's-1900's

The Christians: 11th century

?: 11c - 63bc

Romans: 63bc

Jewish peoples: 63bc-931bc

So by this whole "history culture" logic I have more of a right to Israel having been raised culturally Christian than the Jewish peoples.

But that's dumb. I'm gonna arbitrarily draw the line 100 years ago and say anyone after that can fuck off. If you have to go further back than great-great-great grandparents then you don't have a claim to it.

Ahh right I forgot that old saying, how does it go? "Eye for an I'll kill your entire family"

1982 Israel invades Lebanon after attacks from militants

1983 - 1985 Israel slowly withdraws from most of southern Lebanon

Yeah in this case they didn't invade Lebanon for the land in the first place, they were just trying to genocide the Palestinians.

The settler thing is different because the intent is to steal the land

I know we're all fighting but I think this guy has a point.

I'm pretty sure Israel and Palestine were closer to peace in 94 than they ever have been but then Zionists assassinated Rabin.

After that Actually kinda the whole time the US and UK refused to work with Hamas and in 97 they declared Hamas a terrorist organization.

but the fact that the photos are things other than the article title hurts their credibility.

I'm sorry who is under the impression that people are not dying? I'm pretty sure no one is doubting that part.

those IDF soldiers would have to be pretty fucking stupid to accidentally do a hate crime on the large van marked "TV" when there are plenty of other people in beating range they could do a hate crime on with no consequences.

Hanlon's razor be damned this was 100% on purpose.

Edit: and it's not like Israel has a history of killing journalists or anything. Please don't look up "Shireen Abu Aqla", nothing to see there

Edit edit: Shireen ain't the only one, ~20 in 20 years.

It feels like splitting hairs to comment that there was no Palestine pre 1900 because it had a different name. Especially when it was referred to as Palestine by Arabs for like 2000 years, it just wasn't officially a state.

Actually it sounds like a selective retelling of history designed to imply no one had any right to it or feelings of nationalism around it prior to WWII
