Atheist Memes

I'm pretty sure the animosity is about Israel colonizing the area as an ethnostate. The Palestinians have as much legitimacy to the land as they do, and yet they displaced them much the way European colonists displaced the first nations in the United States and Canada.

After WWII the international community was supposed to come to terms that every people, even the least liked displaced refugee deserved regard for their personhood and to be afforded basic civil rights.

Israel has repeatedly failed to get that memo, often relying on notions that Palestinians are religious enemies, condemning Palestinian peoples as the German Reich did the Jews.

But on the international stage money and the whimsies of plutocrats decide who has guns and power, and more of them like Israel over Palestine for now. (And it's no small detail that Israel is more white-friendly than the rest of the middle east.) Principle will be nowhere to be found if ever attitudes towards Israel change.

And this explains the objectives of Hamas and Hezbollah in the Strip. They know the Israeli state is eager to storm Gaza and jackboot every civilian neck that crosses their path. The state just needed justification to take its mask of and express the brutality in wants to. The two fronts simply provided that excuse.

And despite warnings from the US about the shit show in Fallujah, they're chomping at the bit for it. Moreover it's going to be a mess that the world will get to see up close, with rogue cameras and drone footage showing the truth of urban massacres that might even outdo the holicaust in instilling in us a sickness for the ultraviolence.

Israel isn't God's chosen, and we're about to see exacty how much they are shit-throwing apes just like every other sectarian identity. Just like the rest of us when we fail our own principles.

Maybe, we, as a species will get it this time, but we've shown to be daft before.
