That’s valid. Thanks for clarification.

Sorry, but then I do not understand your logic. To me it seems like you are saying that people should be able to burn Quran (because freedom of speech) but at the same time you believe that burning a trans flag* should not be tolerated. Where is the difference? I am not saying that your opinion is incorrect, I am just unsure what your stand is because suddenly when your logic is applied to a different situation, you refuse to respond

Also, if you believe that ad hominem will make your argument look stronger, then you are clearly wrong.

*Just to make sure: I support all LGBTI rights, I just used them as a comparison.

I would not necessarily say it’s because people don’t understand Muslims. I myself have nothing in common with Muslims, as well.

More likely the case is that there are 2 approaches to free speech. First one advocates for absolute free speech whilst the second is more aligned with “my liberty ends where yours begins” phrase.

Would you also consider chants such as “death to all Jews/gays/black people” or actions such as burning trans flag as freedom of speech and do you believe it should be tolerated?

So the general issue why burning such a copy should be considered incorrect is the fact that Quran, apart from being just another book, is a symbol of Islamic religion. Hence why it appears offensive to Muslims. Same logic applies to other symbols. Do you think it’s absolutely okay to come to a square and burn LGBTI or BLM flags. If you were a gay and saw someone else burning a rainbow flag, would you feel safe at such place?

I personally believe that no discrimination against people based on religion, race, color of skin is appropriate. So I believe that any islamophobic symbol is incorrect.

However, same rule applies to the other side. No islamic minorities should show symbols which could be disrespectful towards different people.

I have and it still does not relate to Israel. Death of 15k whilst the number of Palestinians is 5 million is not genocide. Surely, it’s terrible but it’s not a genocide especially considering how many of them died due to lack of bunkers in Gaza.

I have.

And did you ask yourself why they don’t have the right to vote? It was decision made by Hamas and PLO not to organize another election.

Not at all. Read the definition of ethnic cleansing.

Hamas is not a product of Israel. It’s the product of the fact that palestinian governments refused numerous proposals and chose the way of fighting and inhumane.

Unfortunately, at this point of time I don’t see any solution other than one side destroying the other. This will hurt both palestinians and israelis

How exactly? I don’t see how Israel attacks its own citizens. Sure, some views of today’s government are extreme and I strongly disagree with them (especially with people around Itamar Ben-Gvir) but at the same time there is a considerable amount of arabs being normal Israeli citizens. Needless to say, comments of those far-right idiots do not help, just like terrorist attacks by Hamas do not.

Also don’t forget that Israel was giving water and electricity to Gaza for a long time. Gaza’s government was for 70 years unable to solve this problem. Instead of doing the best to improve their citizens’ lives, they focused on destroying Israel, killing jews and building military facilities in the middle of inhibited areas.

Obviously there will be some civil cases if there is a war. But again, the war would not be the case if Hamas (which is btw considered a terrorist organization by both EU and other states), didn’t start a war.

How exactly is israel attacking civilians living in Gaza? Did they start shooting people in Gaza for no reason?

Is it Israel or Hamas who purposefully uses civilians as a shield and builds buildings for the army in the middle of inhibited zones?

Israel is not a terrorist state. Unlike Gaza and West bank :|

It’s just a simple thing with russia: they always support the right opposite of what USA supports even at the cost of supporting terrorists such as Hamas. That’s simply sad.

I would interpret it as there are literally terrorists against Israel. There are no excuses for supporting terrorism.

It has been recognized as palestine for a logn long time (since rome), though state was never present. Palestine as a state never existed and thoughts about creating a palestinian state began after Ww2

Not really. It’s definitely a bit tough to judge who did the dessert belong to. But historically, there was a point in time when jews were living in that area.

how many times has palestine been offered land for peace? Many - In 1948, 1967 and even later there were offers which mentioned connecting palestine and gaza. all the times, palestinians refused it.

Hence why I am under the impression that they are more responsible for this conflict.
