Good luck to the Palestinian freedom fighters! Apartheid must end!
You are cheering people that have been gunning down civilians at a bus stops. Try to take a moment to really reflect on that some time.
No, this doesn’t mean I support Israel, before you ask.
Let those with a death wish meet their just end! They’re not freedom fighters. They’re simple terrorists taking hostages, gunning people in the street, etc. They have no end game but death and destruction. They’ll accomplish nothing but murder and subsequent hardship for their people. They could be thriving but they’d rather kill people indiscriminately. They have no code of conduct nor rules of engagement. If they saw a Jewish toddler or infant, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill it. There is no reason to champion these losers.
This is a tragedy, but similar to the invasion of Ukraine with Isreal being Russia.
Hamas’s missiles directed towards Israeli civilians and you choose to compare Israel to Russia. Your propoganda is showing…
Do you consider Hamas the aggressor in the overall context of the Israel- Palestinian conflict?
Do you think only one side can be responsible in a conflict?
Colonizers are always responsible for any violence that follows.
So if Native Americans fired rockets on e.g. Corpus Christi, Texas, they would have no responsibility at all for this action?
I am not denying the responsibility of “the colonizers”, I think other people can also have some responsibility.
They’d be justified.
The point is to not condemn the oppressed without regard for their oppression.
They’re not being oppressed if they choose to live the why they do. At some point the drug addict needs to come to terms with the fact they are the ones causing their self harm. They could compromise and stop their killing/ bloodshed to build a peace but they don’t. Continuously attacking is one of the most dumbass moves they keep making. I’m out of sympathy and patience for these idiots. Keep crying but do nothing. Other parts of the Arab world have moved on and made peace with Israel. The Palestinians only have excuses and children to sacrifice at this point.
Where in this thread did someone “condemn the oppressed without regard for their oppression”?
Sometimes yes. I know very little about the Israelo-palestinian confilct (only what I read from news outlet) so I can’t say anything for sure here.
But more generally, in history, there have been plenty of conflicts that were one side’s responsability: Ukraine’s invasion, WW2, colonie’s independance “wars”… IMO, when you defend yourself from an agression, you are not responsible for the conflict.
In this case, I tend to agree with other commentors - Israel seems to have been increasingly oppressive and brutal at least in the past 2 decades, and you can only push people so far before they react.
Israel has left Gaza in 2005 and only received missiles and terrorist attacks in return. Although no side is mother Teresa in this conflict, one is is definitely less mother Teresa than the other.
Israel continues to expand their occupation of Palestinian land, though. Do you think Palestinians in Gaza have no stake in the well-being of other Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the West Bank?
They’re only bringing about their own ruin. Fuck, if they actually wanted to do something, then be human fucking beings and adults and come to solve agreement/ compromise. Israel isn’t going anywhere. They only stand to lose more and more by not coming to the table but instead being violent terrorists. They can keep killing for hundreds of years. They’ll end up with even less and accomplish nothing.
Sometimes yes.
No one is denying that.
He said aggressor.
And idoubledo did not say aggressor. So what do we gain by fixating on this word?
Yes the evil Muslims from “Palestinia” kill innocent civilians. Typical terrorist behavior. Just like Russia does in Ukraine.
Wow, no one is going to mention what Israel is doing to these people? I don’t agree with terrorists, but the replies should be more nuanced than ‘bad Palestines’.
In my eyes, as an outsider following the news, Israel has pushed Palestinians to the brink by killing Palestine civilians, seizing more of their land AGAIN and having a dictator for a president that just changed the constitution…
If you take people’s land, your military kills children, films and laughs about it, push them into poverty, and then come for their homes… Sometimes this is the only way to say ‘enough’.
I think he’s saying that it’s like Israel is the invader, similar to Russia.
I think the tragedy is that this goes both ways: if a group of people that just escaped a genocide, gets attacked by all its neighboring countries as soon as they have a state of their own, are explicitly threatened with extinction and are attacked over and over again by military actions and terrorist attacks… sometimes people will try to assert absolute dominance in order to try to ensure their own physical safety above everything else.
Note: I am very much not justifying any of the above. I just think that it’s not very surprising that people act this way, and that Hamas & Co of course know this - just as the Israeli government & Co know how people react to their actions. In my opinion neither the Israeli government (and orthodox settlers etc.) nor the Hamas (and similar groups) are honestly trying to unfuck the situation.
Rational take.
Come live in israel and see how is it for us. And I’m saying this as a left wing pro human rights anti settlement opposer of the current fascist government
Come live in Gaza?
Exactly lmao
I’m glad you oppose you fascist government. Sadly, like it is here in America, a lot of the citizens support the fascism. If you see interviews with Israelis, they often talk like Palestinians aren’t even human. It’s so saddening.
So when Israel was given it’s land via the Balfour treaty both sides were happy for a while. Yea some were pissed off but didn’t act out.
Then when Israel got settled and comfy they decided to try to grab the rest of “their” land even though this broke the treaty.
Since then the land grab has gotten blatant and they’ve created their own laws to justify it, to the point that even me saying this is seen as antisemitism even though it is totally truthful.
Well done Israel, what did you think would happen.
The ICC still want a word too!
Apartheid is still alive.
Victim blaming…
The victims are the Palestinians.
Oh yea right sorry for giving you the obvious blatant truth!
Yeah. Israel became a state because the white nations agreed while the brown nations didn’t.
So we all know who got their way.
The only people who should be surprised are those who thoughts this conflict would end there.

No, fuck Hamas. Love for Palestine.
Innocent civilians are dying on both sides, but long-term it’s always the innocent Palestinian people who suffer most when the nationalists on either side start shooting. The skew in the death toll over the long course of the Israel-Palestine conflict is incredibly one-sided.
No fuck “Palestine”
Some people are just hardline pro-Israel no matter what.
You can spot them because they make comments like this. Not an ounce of nuance in their brain because that goes against the tribe.

Oh you come with logic?!? How dare you!
Hamas won a plurality (44%) - not a majority - of the votes in the last elections in 2006. They subsequently launched a coup, sought to purge their political opponents and have ruled the Gaza Strip as a de facto dictatorship ever since. The people of Gaza have spent the last 17 years suffering from the combination of a Hamas dictatorship and a full land, sea and air blockade by the Israeli military.
So to answer your question: Hamas gunmen put Hamas in power.
Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem remain occupied territories under international law since the 1967 Israeli conquests.
44% is more than hitler had…
What a weird attempt at logic.
Yes.
White people killing brown: 👍
Brown people killing white: 👎
Who killed more innocent people: Israel or Palestine?

Can’t wait to see your posts about Israel’s retaliation and all the innocents they kill.
You… will post about them, right?
Would you hold Israel to the same standard? They invaded the Palestinian territories in 1967, have held them under military occupation for over half a century since and in that time have killed rather a lot more Palestinian civilians than vice versa.
But sensible people do not use that as a pretext to say a blanket ‘fuck Israel’, because it is unhelpful, unconstructive and racist to blame an entire people for war crimes committed by members of their military. But I’m curious if you apply your logic on Palestine to the other side too?
Who has ruled over the other with military occupation, routinely unhoused, tortured, killed and terrorized the other for 70+ years?
Who decided they wanted the land and proceeded to ethnically cleanse the towns to make room for their own people?
Don’t turn a blind eye.

Israel began its occupation in 1947 when the soon-to-be state began ethnically cleansing the lands - removing the Indigenous locals out of their homes and villages. Yes - this sparked the 1948 war, which resulted in even more land being occupied. This issue did not begin with the 1948 war.
You will not get a response. Captain patriot probably just smashed his keyboard into dust.
*or phone!
That’s okay, I’m not trying to get a response! Just trying to make sure people think about this with less bias.
“The terrorists” = Israel.

Palestinians are defending their home. Good luck to them.
