  • Huh kinda weird how all of the people who would ultimately be affected by this new theocratic ethnostate voted against it huh? Did you ever stop to think that that is?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_for_Palestine

    Western powers created a state that they had no business creating, against the wishes of the local population. When the locals fought back, a war broke out and Israel used the opportunity to take 60% of the land that was a part of the agreed Arab state as well as numerous zones that they were supposed to be sharing. That ended up displacing almost a million Palestinians.

    A perfect analogy to this conflict is if someone ran into your home, said they owned 50% of your house, then when you fight back they throw you in the bathroom and keep even more of it. Ever since you get less and less. All the while the western imperial core supports them.




  • I think that analogy is backwards here. Israel is the school bully. This has never not been the case, ever since the partition. In the past 75 years Israel has been displacing and killing Palestinian people, restricting freedom of movement, doing settler colonialism and genocide. Hamas’s horrific terror attacks are the result of the material conditions of Palestinian people deteriorating. The more Israel pushes them into a corner, the more extremism will look that a real choice to them.

    Israel keeps taking Palestinian lunches, but much of the western world doesn’t care because they are Israel’s allies. Then the western world hears about hamas attacks and gives israel more money and weapons, continuing the cycle.












  • If someone walked into your house, forced you into your bathroom, said that they owned the rest of the house now, would you be willing to go to peace talks if it means that they get to own half your house? Think about that for a second. Who do you think started the war in this context? Why exactly do you think that Israel had to keep fighting for its survival?

    Just because Israel won a few wars, and is backed by other western imperialistic countries doesn’t mean they are right.

    Gaza is under a barricade from both land and sea. Many don’t have access to clean water, a home or food. Meanwhile Israel is far more technologically advanced, and consistently has arms, and money being sent from western allies. The state of Gaza is 100% the fault of the Israeli occupation.
