It's because it's Israel, if you say they are terrorists, you're antisemitic.

I guess I'm antisemitic now.

If you turn off your deck being online and then turn it on again somewhere with no internet access, sometimes it will not get past the "looking for updates" screen before loading steam. I've had that happen more than enough times. Only way to exit from that loop is connecting to internet, but that's not always possible.

If you're committing a genocide it's only fair that people compare you with other people who commited genocide. Like the nazis.

And of course it hurts. Because Israel hates to be reminded that they are becoming the kind of people that 80 years ago tried to exterminate them.

Stop doing nazi things if you don't want to be called a nazi. It's as simple as that.

Do you realise that such a broad definition only is saying that Israel can't be considered Nazi no matter what they do?

Mate, are you for real?

Simple: We just stop sending them weapons. They are digging their own grave by doubling down in this war and in poking other nations. And they do it because they know that "Daddy US" will cover their asses in case things turn ugly.

See? This is the "with me or against me" rhetoric I was talking about in another post. I never said I want the destruction of Israel. I said that the only reasons why they are still being supported by the international community are those three points, being the most important the fact that the US supports them.

If that drops, they will have a hard time looking for allies because right now, nobody can in good faith say that they agree with what Israel is doing in Gaza, and if someone was to attack them and the US doesn't step in, I'm not sure anyone else will.

That is not saying that I want the violent destruction of Israel, that is stating facts. You might not like them, but that's how things are right now. Israel has no friends and that is entirely because of how they are behaving.

It's the rhetoric used by those who want to be seen as victims. They pretend that you associate the state with the totality of the people forming it. That way it's easier to control the narrative. And if you look closely, it's the same they are trying to do with the "Palestine=Hamas" bullshit.

If you hate Israel, according to them, you hate the whole Jewish world. It's easier that way to create the "with me or against me" rhetoric.

So what you're saying is that people can freely return to their homes in Gaza city?

Oh, so the Nakba was all fine? Idk, I'm seeing here a second Nakba, but it might be my antisemitic brain... And with illegal occupation I mean all the occupation Israel has been doing for decades. We all have seen the maps of what was Palestine pre-nakba and what it is today. The only reasons why we are ok with what Israel is doing are:

  • United States support
  • Palestine being an Arab country (and we all know how the west hates Arabs in general)
  • Fear of being called antisemitic after what Nazis did.

And tbf, right now I'm pretty sure the main reason is the first one. If that drops, I'm almost sure Israel is going to have a veeeeeeery tough time trying to find support in the international community to fend themselves against every enemy they have made.

If you raze their towns making them effectively uninhabitable and then declare those zones "a war zone" while you also block any effort to reconstruct and allow people to occupy those territories, you're expelling them from their land.

I'm pretty sure that if we're not seeing more deaths it is because the international community would have trouble trying to justify it. But not because Netanyahu doesn't want it.

They abuse Palestinians in their jails, they kill children, they attack refugee camps... All because "Hamas was hiding there". I'm sorry but no. There's a limit to what you can do. And Israel is surpassing it by far. They are not only killing, they are razing cities, they are basically making Gaza uninhabitable and they are blocking humanitarian aid (when they're not directly destroying it), so yeah, they are trying to starve people.
