      Dude. I just pointed out that these guys are a lesser known part of the conflict that also deserves some attention. That doesn’t change anything about the situation of Palestinians at all.

      But unlike ideological keyboard warriors like you I do actual aid work (and have done so in Palestina) - and, as basically anyone doing so, have experienced the multiple layers the conflict has.

      What you are doing is not helping Palestina one single bit. It does nothing besides turning people away from the Palestinian cause and from Palestinian victims. So either you are a very good Israeli shill or a very bad one for the Palestinian cause.

      I mean, are you incapable of having any sympathy for individuals that walked into what seemed to be peaceful but turned into a warzone?

      Sure, the Israel Palestine conflict has been going on since 1948 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli–Palestinian_conflict

      But if your work told you to go on a quick in and out trip to Jamaica would you know there’s an older persistent conflict that could cause you harm? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_political_conflict

      Shit Sudan and Myanmar both have higher body counts so far. You check with the state department and lists of all armed conflicts before all your trips?
