Conscription is kinda messed up when you think about it.
Wouldn't you agree?

I have neighbors who are visiting Israel, they put it off for many many years due to bring worried about an attack happening.

Meanwhile in New York.
Keep in mind NYC has the second-highest Jewish population in the World outside of Israel.

I wouldn't say that, but they are in support of a Free Palestine.

No, I've already stated that.
Disliking the notion of Zionism, does not make you an anti-semite.

Israel has retaken control of all territory seized by Hamas.

how so? jews were living in far more peace in the middle east than they were in europe or anywhere else really until the events leading up to the creation of israel

also a lot of arabs are christians. there are christian palestinians, egyptians, syrians, lebanese, etc

also, I'm not saying ethnic or religious conflicts never happened. there isn't a single country out there where they never did. but the middle east was not an exceptionally hostile place to religious or ethnic multiculturalism. even the conversions to islam took centuries, gradually over the course of many generations. jews and other minority groups specifically left europe to take refuge in the middle east during the various crusades and pogroms in europe for example

Yes, obviously. They're going to a rally a day after the attacks and holding up signs saying "any means necessary" and openly mocking the dead. They support Hamas murdering civillians and abducting women and children.

Edit: Here's one video of them mocking the people slaughtered and cheering on the kidnappings of festival goers

And here's a guy holding up a swastika

And here's a video of a woman chanting "seven hundred" referring to the reported Israeli death count at the time

Because 'retribution' is always the answer.

It looks like Hamas is beginning to execute civilians and broadcast it live.

I guess the Geneva Convention is meaningless unless you are the USA, Israel, or Europe.

Israel is going to level cities.
This is kind of the shit that lead up to 9/11, make no mistake about it.

My dude, literally no one follows the Geneva Convention. I'm not both sidesing here, but you have a deeply flawed understanding of history if you believe Israel, the US, or any European power has followed it since the fucking Korean war.

Why dont you look at how many Jews were actually living in the Middle East, mainly Palestine, before 1884. Its easy to get along when one group is only 8% of the population and there arent that many to begin with.

To clarify, most, if not all, US presidents for the last 70+ years would be on trial for war crimes if the UN or Geneva Conventions applied to the "developed world." Their jurisdiction is reserved for small dictatorships in South America and Africa only.
