      The international community consider Israeli settlements to be illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.

      Massacring 1400 innocents and kidnapping 200 more never has justification.

        There’s a difference between justifications and reasons. I’m exhausted seeing people use the fact that atrocities are unjustified to hand wave away the reasons and circumstances that led to those atrocities.

        The massacring of innocents isn’t justified, but the reason it happened isn’t that people magically became evil. The reason is that enduring apartheid oppression pushes people to extremism.
