People! Come together! Fuck 'em all, Netanyahu, Biden AND Hamas.
And who is going to put up a finger of resistance against your precious genocidal white supremacist settler colonialist project, liberal?
You?
Obviously.
Fuck Netanyahu. Fuck Biden. Fuck Hamas. Fuck Israel for occupying West Bank.
Let me know If I forgot anything else.
This is a story about 50k children getting sicker because Israel is intentionally starving them. And yet all you did was talk about Hamas. Nothing about these kids. That is extremely fucked up and that is why you got downvoted.
You see starving kids and you respond with the very propaganda used by the perpetrators to justify it
But do you condemn Hamas? /s
Because it’s the least relevant party and the one we have the least influence on given Israel has been doing a slow genocide for decades and America has enabled it. If Israel hadn’t been doing this for decades Hamas wouldn’t even exist.
Enlighten me what the “accurate story” is then.
Hamas is just a tool funded by Netanyahu to excuse the ongoing genocide.
Palestinians have every right to resist being genocided by one of the most evil regimes in history. There could have been socialist or more progressive freedom fighters but they were all destroyed by Israel. Israel wanted the resistance to be Islamist because if there’s going to be a resistance to outright genocide they’re easier to paint as the enemy.
Israel has no right to exist. It’s a white supremaicst ethnostate existing on stolen land. “Israelis” need to abolish the state and go back to their own countries.
They’ve been able to get away with settler-colonialism, apartheid, torture, and genocide for 75 years by playing the “antisemitism” card but that has to come to an end now.
What an absolutely delusional comment. I do not support the way Israel is conducting this war (which is a genocide). But the solution is not the genocide - even the self-committed genocide - of Israel.
The region is multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-cultural. This is a fact that needs to be accepted by both sides.
The morally correct path forward is a secular multiethnic state, or states, that integrates the residents of the area and provides everyone with full and equal rights of citizenship, including fundamental human rights, regardless of their national origin, ethnic heritage, or religion.
As long as people like you keep calling for ethnic cleansing and/or the genocidal abolishment of an entire nation of people based on their nationality - be it Palestinian or Israeli- the outcome will be two tribes locked into an eternal struggle for existence, doing their best to brutally eliminate their enemy while creating future generations of enemies.
I find these kinds of oversimplifications childish and stifle any effort towards finding solutions. There's a difference between what ought to happen and what is realistic and achievable. I know we're on Lemmy and we all agree on the genocide, apartheid, colonialism, etc, but we ought to channel the conversation towards more productive outlets. Maybe you guys just learned about Palestine after October 7, but thie conflict has been going on for 75+ years.
Saying things like "Israelis need to abolish the state and go back to their own countries" is a vacuous and meaningless statement that feels good but contributes nothing. Children born last year in the state of Israel are not directly responsible for the establishment of the state of which they are citizens just like US citizens are not going to return to the original countries of their grandparents and return the lands they settled to Native Americans. It sucks, it happened, but we aren't reversing the clock of time.
Israel is able to always gain the upper hand after each attack. Every time there is an attack or intifada Israel benefits because it:
a) responds with disproportionate aggression (see 30000+ deaths
b) expands settlements
To say that Israel supports Hamas is also kinda besides the point when the Palestinian population endorses Hamas overwhelmingly.
Instead, in my opinion, we should be pushing for an immediate ceasefire and steer the conversation towards a two state solution and the demolition of illegal settlements incurred in certain areas. The only way we can move forward is by getting realistic concessions from Israel. But that will never happen by using this feel good rhetoric such as eradicating all Israelis from the area. We gotta bring the Israelis to the table and stop the violence asap.
“I’m supporting the indiscriminate genocide of an entire group of people whose land I’ve stolen, but it’s everyone else who’s a Nazi!”
Good job at reasoning buddy. 👍🏻
Are Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, and Gabor Mate all nazis too?
Oh wait, people are getting paid for telling the truth? Where can I apply?
Oh look... the hasbara has shown up.
You mean IDF reservists and veterans?
