Quick takeaways

  • Israel's identification as a state for the Jewish people has led to the suppression of Palestinian rights, hindering peace and equality in the region.
  • Israel's aim is not solely to eliminate Hamas and rescue hostages, but rather to make Gaza uninhabitable for its residents in order to maintain control, while Hamas has shown willingness to compromise for the creation of a Palestinian state.

Deep dives

Israel as a Jewish supremacist state

Israel, internally, may have some measure of democracy, but when considering the millions of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, it cannot be called a democracy. Israel identifies as a state for the Jewish people, which has led to the suppression of Palestinian rights. This supremacist mindset is a key factor in the ongoing conflict in Gaza, where Israel prioritizes its supremacy over the security and well-being of all.
