Wanna get even angrier? Since the cease fire was agreed, Israel released 150 Palestinian people. In that time, they have also made 133 new arrests of Palestinians for the crime of…celebrating the release of Palestinians.
If this were done by a movie villain, people would criticize it for being too cartoonishly evil and unrealistic.
Of course one can ask if you need to jail teenagers for throwing rocks at police and military. But asking ‘how’ is pretty simple: you can look it up. There are laws and if you violate them, you get jailed.
On the other side: maybe ask Hamas where their victims came from. What did the 23 Thai workers did wrong. Or the 10 Nepaelis.
…or even more depressing: ask them where they are. Rumors go around that Hamas doesn’t know anymore where all hostages are. Since Hamas fighters where allowed to take individual hostages as trophy back home. You can only imagine what they might do to a single, young and beautiful woman whose only crime was to be at the wrong time at the wrong spot.
That suggests that those jailed have been convicted or even sentenced for crimes. Look up administrative detention.
So are terrorists supposed to be only of adult male?
So, as soon as someone shows joy that their daughter who was about to be locked away for 10 years for throwing stones at an IDF soldier, they must be a terrorist?
Just how sure are you that they were just throwing stones?
If you define basically everything palestinians do as “terrorism”, you’ll have the prisons filled with “terrorists” in no time.
So how do you define “terrorism” exactly?
I don’t define it as civil/non-violent defiance against an occupying power. Or being happy that a family member is released from prison.
Who is being occupied? Israel disengaged from gaza since 2005. Since hamas won the election, they kept threatening israel’s existence, so how do you suggest israel should respond with such threat?
Israel is occupying Palestine (including Gaza and the West Bank). They control water, electricity and imports into Gaza and you claim they “disengaged”?
Also: There are Palestinians in Israel. They don’t have the same rights that non-jewish people living there do. I.e. They get locked away when showing joy that their family members can leave prisons for ridiculous charges.
Ehm, civil-non-violent, eh? One of the released women is Amani Hashim (sp?) 37 y.o. from the West Bank who used her car to ram an Israeli soldier on a check point, seriously injuring him, and then waved a knife on others, while shouting religious slogans… Got convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
I can imagine what would have happened, if that checkpoint wouldn’t be there…

You do know what kind of ethnic cleansing and illegal settlement the IDF is currently carrying out in the west bank? Whah kind of resistance do you expect?
are we suppose to take the label “terrorist” serious when it comes to the israelis? just because israel labels someone a terrorist it doesn’t make it true.
but i know your thought process. it is based on the false premisse that israel is not a terrorist state.
if israel arrests you on the charges of terrorism it doesn’t make you a terrorist. it makes you an enemy to a “terrorist state”. you can use terror and be a terrorist when fighting israel, but just because you get arrested by idf, it doesn’t automatically makes you a terrorist, imho.
Define terrorist.
uses terror to achieve political goal.
Okay, so how can you relate that definition with what both sides are doing? I mean from a non-bias perspective.
clearly, we should boycott, ~~de-invest ~~ Divestment and sanction israel. just like we do with hamas and the pa.
And we should condemn hamas for the evil things they’ve done.
everyday, in fact international security agencies should do more to help. in fact greater israel should be a international nation new home of the united nations. the us should invade to establish a cease fire until this is established. it is the only way to stop the blood shed. from both sides. after all israeli settlers can’t be left without protection until the law is the same for all greater israel citizens.
That you get down voted for this simple fact is really saying a lot about the Kool-aid consumption of some “Israel critics”.
If they’re terrorists why are you holding them in “administrative detention” indefinitely instead of charging them with crime?
See, that would be a good point to make in a meme. Saying they can’t be terrorists (or some other kind of lawful prisoner) because they’re teenagers or women however is not a good point.
edit: lol @downvotes
simple fact
You misspelled sea-lioning.
