Palestine has a right to defend itself.

It's just in our nature.
Our whole history as a species has consisted of tribal warfare of some flavor.

If it's in our "nature" how is it that the vast majority of us are not doing it?
If we look at early human societies they were mostly relatively egalitarian and peaceful. The Hobbesian view of humanity is very useful to make you accept the unacceptable.

To explain away the man-made horrors of the world as being “human nature” is taking the easy route by avoiding questioning what causes the worst things to happen in the world and coming to a shitty catch-all conclusion.
It’s also super defeatist and can stop discussions on how to fix the crimes of those before us.

Stories like this are why you'll never convince me there's a good and just god somewhere in the sky.
Exactly. God's chosen people often turn out to be just as shitty as the 'bad' guys.
They all use religion as an excuse for their shitty behaviour. I still don't understand because it's the same God.
I mean whether God exists aside, if you're buying Jews' (especially Zionist Jews') God's chosen people spiel you have your own problems.
