It is good to show solidarity with Palestinians - it is not acceptable to cheer for Hamas on the other hand.
If you are able to differentiate between Hamas and the Palestinians and Israeli government and Israeli people your moral compass still somewhat works.
You can support indigenous people without cheering on the raiders. /s
Anticolonialism isn't just a word. Read Wretched of the Earth by Fanon.
It is a shame how many children were killed. It was very irresponsible for Israel to prop up a fundamentalist group to sideline the PLO, and then for settler parents to bring their children right next to the world's largest open air concentration camp.
This is all one big exercise in independence.
I'm glad we're seeing people actually have independent thought instead of just rushing to say whatever will make them fit in with their tribe.
What's wrong with supporting Hamas? Are there any other groups fighting the zionists?
When you poke a caged dog for nearly a century and it bites your hand off, only a fool would act surprised.
What part of my comment is making excuses for anything
Based hamas
Both sides elect people that are OK with their people dying for their own government policies. One attacks to oppress an apparant enemy, the other attacks to free themselves from oppression. They are not the same, yet innocent people suffer and die because of both.
More than half of the people alive in Palestine were too young to vote in their last election.
@Szymon I agree with this apart from the "elect" part. Hamas last won an election in 2006, with less than half the vote.
Gaza hasn't held an election in over 17 years and the majority of its population are too young to have voted then.
There has not been an election by Palestine in Gaza for roughly 17 years. Hamas isn't exactly democratic.
Meanwhile all citizens just want to live their lives in peace.
It really is tragic and frustrating.
Yeah, but I don't blame them. It was either that or let Israel increase oppression.
When peaceful change is impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable.
Israel politicians aren't idiots and know this. They wanted their own people to die (and have been caught saying so, to paraphrase, "terrorism is a small price to pay for being a super power") so that they could have an excuse to perform genocide, a final solution to the Palestine problem.
Lol, you actually think there are "continuing attempts at long term solutions"?
Other than the ethnic cleansing kind of "solution" on Israel's part, that is
Out of curiosity, I've seen ethnic cleansing being used quite often, can you explain it in the context of Gaza?
Judging by your post history I doubt you'll actually read any sourcing or explanation so I'll go with:
Pretty easy to Google it and figure it out if you're actually interested
Ethnic cleansing, according to Google is: "the mass expulsion or killing of members of one ethnic or religious group in an area by those of another".
Are you suggesting that Israel's intent is to kill as many Palestinian as possible regardless of their affiliation with Hamas? Or that Israel intends keeping the territory after they all leave?
See?
Immediately acts like that's not clearly Israels goal. If they weren't trying to kill as many as they can regardless of affiliation then they wouldn't be bombing civilians. Or any of the other atrocities they've committed in the over 70 years of illegal occupation.
But you don't care cuz you wanna stuff Netrnyahus cock in your face for whatever reason
You think that practical obliteration of Gaza and hundreds of thousands of innocent dead is preferable to continuing attempts to long term solutions?
Who's attempting long-term solutions? Because it's sure as hell not Israel and its far right government. No seriously the current situation of Palestine is specifically so that the Palestinian people have no representative who can call for a two-state solution.
Also given what we see from the West now, I don't see the empathy doing much.
Who is/was attempting a peaceful solution?
A few links:
After Hamas’s brutal attack all voices of reason have been silenced.
All we can do now is seat back and watch the apocalypse unfurl.
Who is/was attempting a peaceful solution?
Well, the Oslo accords were almost there until a Zionist assassinated the prime minister, who was replaced by Bibi and we all know how that went. The 2012 ceasefire was also going somewhere, but Israel didn't hold their end of the deal (along with being vehemently opposed to the newly formed unified Palestinian government and fighting it at every turn) so the whole thing fell through. An Israel ruled by the far-right, and especially by Bibi, can't and won't pursue peace.
Bibi actively created and maintained the current situation in which peace is impossible.
Prime ministers come and go. Many Israeli citizens fell empathy for Palestinians but a lot less do now.
Bibi barely won a majority of the votes, now the country will stand in solidarity behind him. Thanks Hamas.
I don't think anyone is gonna stand in solidarity behind Mr. Security after this, but I could be wrong.
Lol, take this garbage opinion and fuck off
Keep showing you have no fuckin clue what the history of this area is
Keep simping for the ethnic cleansers, it's a good look on idiots like you
Would you choose a slow guaranteed death through oppression or risk a possible quick death for a better life for all your family and friends?
I'm asking you. Not your opinion of a whole population. I'm asking you. Imagine yourself in that camp, being bombed daily. What do you choose to do to survive and thrive as a human?
There was no guaranteed death, things were very difficult and would have continued to be for a long time. At least there was hope.
Now there is a guaranteed death, thanks to Hamas.
“for a better life” in this case the leveling of the entire Gaza Strip and the obliteration of ANY hope of self governance?
Half the population of Gaza is 19 and under. Sounds like a guaranteed early death for me if few people are living to an old age.
Why again do they need to be caged up for generations?
