Hamad said that Palestinians are the victims of the occupation, therefore no one should blame them for the events of October 7 or anything else, adding: "Everything we do is justified."

Israel was given to the Jews as an 'apology' for their treatment during WW2.

All Western nations agreed. All Arab nations declined.

Guess who got their way?

I think founding Israel where it is was a huge geopolitical mistake, but I don't know how that knowledge helps at all today when that mistake is completely solidified.

It helps so people remember why Palestinians are upset in the first place.

Thank you. Let us start working with the status quo. Israel right now is starting to realise that netanyahu is not the right guy and palrstinians/gazans need to accept, that they are mere cettle to hamas/abbas.

Also the arab world needs to work on this compromise with the palestinians and stop using them as propaganda tools.
