I ran out of sympathy for the Palestinians decades ago. It was already gone when I saw them dancing in the streets after 9/11. The various Palestinian terror organizations, PLO, Hamas, and others stated purpose has been to destroy Israel and kill the Jews within. No peace is possible with such an organization or population. The Palestinians brought this upon themselves. Israel needs to completely destroy Hamas and re-occupy Gaza. After that they need to deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Maybe they can try peace again a couple decades after the Iranian support dries up.
the foundation of the state of Israel involved massive atrocities such as large scale ethnic cleansing. Israel is a European colonizer settler state, built on the back of massive waves of immigration from Europe and to a lesser extent the US, plain and simple. The foundation of Israel was an injustice- it should've never happened. But it did. Many states have been founded on large scale injustices- and nothing can be done about that. Like every state in the world, Israel exists because: it can. They were more organized than the native Palestinian Arabs, more powerful militarily, and have had the full-stop backing and support from the worlds greatest super power (us)- which obviously
helps out a ton.
Israel exists, it should continue to exist, the millions of innocent people who live there have the right to live in peace, and Israel has a right to defend itself, but what Israel's government has continually done for decades goes way beyond any justifiable argument of self defense. Israel has been undertaking a harsh brutal military occupation of the Palestinian peoples for 6-7 decades now and have
constantly and continually annexed Palestinian territory and have been building new settlements virtually non-stop. They just announced a massive annexation of another 2,000 acres in the West Bank just a couple months ago. All this does not = defense. If Israel has a right to self defense, do the Palestinians not have that same right? Anyone who does not have sympathy for the plight of the Palestinian people are flat out just not human beings in my book.
And that underlined part is f'n hilarious considering
Netanyahu's own governments' support for Hamas has f*cking
DWARFED any kind of support that Iran has ever given in relation to Hamas. Hamas and Iran are not ideological twins, not even close. They have had many spats and disagreements- it's strictly a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The actual intelligence reporting on how just close the two are linked is thin and contradictory. Why don't you know, actually read into the reporting on that sometime? Netanyahu's governments' have facilitated the transfer of
OVER ONE BILLION DOLLARS to Hamas- and that criminal fascist racist punk Netanyahu sent the head of Mossad to Qatar weeks before October 7th with suitcases full of cash to give the Qataris to....give to Hamas. Ever take even a second to ask yourself why that is, that? It's pretty simple. The answer is Netanyahu is a f*cking psychopath criminal who doesn't want a two state solution, has never wanted a two state solution, and will set the whole of the world on fire to make sure that never happens- and to a lesser extent to protect his own ass and secure his own grip on power. Netanyahu needs this war to continue or the likelihood he's out of office and facing criminal indictments in the Israeli courts is extremely high.
And it continues to amaze me how lazy, stupid, and propagandized Americans truly are. Dumbest and fattest, but most free, most awesome country in the world, for sure imo.
