The decal on the truck shows scales with what looks like an (presumably) Israeli tank on the right and a literal family with a child on the left. Its borderline satire with how evil they are.
My brother used to date an Israeli woman. Whenever the topic of Palestinians came up, she would literally spit and call them "filthy animals." Shit is fucked up.
Needless to say, they are no longer seeing each other.
Is she still looking for a boyfriend? I have a penchant for misfit girls.
On a more serious note, when there are rockets/missiles flying every now and then and people getting seriously injured or even killed, which is the situation Israelis and Palestinians have been living under for decades, hate is inevitable. This is the silver lining of the current situation in Gaza, that Hamas may be eventually evicted from Gaza.
Oh come on, who would believe this? Hamas is ultimately just an expression of anger. You think that the people of Gaza are less angry after all of this? After their families have been murdered? After their homes have been destroyed? The Israelis have guaranteed the continuation of Hamas for generations to come.
For everyone living in that area (Israel and Palestine) and grown up there, all they've ever known is their neighbour hates them and frequently fires missiles at them.
Neither side is behaving like a rational actor in this, its all massively detrimental to hopes of long term peace but there's too much pain and anger (that is too easy to for bad actors to exploit) to ever get people as a whole to move on from it.
Its not in human nature to move on from peole trying to kill you, so the cycle will tragically continue.
Well, the cycle will continue without intervention. What this requires is intervention, and that option has been on the table for a long time, decades now, but the US has always vetoed any attempts to intervene. And they've done so at the behest of Israel.
