    Ok what would you do if your country was occupied like Palestine? Would you continue to fight Isreal and risk starting another war knowing full well every single war has been lost catastrophically?

      By calling it “starting a war” (which is a lie) and insisting that it has never gone well, you are implying that they should lie down and let Israel genocide them. Because that’s how that goes.

        Can you explain how its not “starting a war”. It seems like it was intentional to start a war.

      This is not a theoretical question for a Greek person. Here is what we would do:

      What would you do if your country was occupied?

      But even that ultimately is besides the point, because we are looking at the whole thing from the outside. For a more sober look, see my responses to LengAways below.

        You didn’t answer the question. Those events do not replicate the situation in Palestine. The situation in Palestine is so lopsided that war is just not a realistic option.

        If my country was occupied I would fight initially and for years after no matter how lopsided however if we got slaughtered multiple wars in a row i’d give up on violent resistance. If I was born in a country occupied for decades with a massive power difference like say china I would just live my life in whatever conditions existed. Things would be hard enough without getting bombed and sieged.

          The ottoman occupation of Greece lasted 400 years. Similar numbers for the Bulgarians, the Serbs, etc.The Irish fought for 800. The Poles for 120 years.

          If you come from a part of the world that has this history you understand what it means to not give up.
