“I’m unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself, and that’s not gonna change,” said Harris, recounting the horrors of the Hamas-led October 7 attack. “Israel had a right, has a right to defend itself.”

    If only the situation were even that “good” for Palestine. It’s been an occupied territory by Isreal for years - long before last Oct. There already are “border fences” - Gaza has been under blockade by Isreal for at least 2 decades, restricting any movement of Palestinians. I recommend having a look at a map to see just how dire the situation is for Palestine when they have Isreal right in the middle and all around simultaneously.

    Palestine isn’t even recognized as a country by several, including - conveniently - Isreal and the US.

    So, neither of those proposed alternatives would really be a good argument to Israel I’m afraid.

      Natives Ameericans were almost wiped out for defending their land. Do they have the right to take their land back? Things aren’t that simple, isn’t it? The fact is Israel isn’t going anywhere. Based on my understanding, Israel and the US, and also China, supported the two state solution. Guess which side didn’t want that? I hate both sides equally. But if I have to choose one for humanity, Israel.
