Gaza war and College Campus Protests

[Anonymous]

Hamas has been planning the attack for about two years, possibly since Operation Guardian of the Walls (May 2021). There were ample intelligence warnings, not least by the IDF spotters situated on the Gaza border, all women. Clouded by an overarching “conception” and (masculine?) arrogance, IDF commanders dismissed these fateful alerts. Moreover, the US House Foreign Affairs Chair confirmed Egypt’s claim that it warned Israel about an impending Hamas attack days before it happened, but was ignored (Egyptian Intelligence said that the warning was delivered directly to Netanyahu’s office).

Netanyahu was voted out of office in 1999, returning in 2009; and again in 2021, returning in 2022. Each return was preceded, as in 1994-96, by a massive inciteful campaign, and each time he returned with vengeance. During his 2008/9 campaign, Netanyahu denounced his predecessor PM Olmert for negotiating peace with the PA and for being soft on Hamas, pledging to swiftly dismantle the organization. Notably, however, it was the 2008 IDF operation Cast Lead, under Olmert, that came closest to expelling Hamas from Gaza.

If you left us alone there wouldn’t be anything to resist. Again I ask, stop murdering us, stop raping and torturing our children and young girls, leave us alone. Stop leaving your nasty hideously ugly settlers (even the average Israeli knows the settlers are fugly and don’t shower) to terrorize us. Imagine one those nasty settlers raping you, your wife or your daughter and nothing will be done about it. I am so thankful to god every day the majority of my family was able to leave, I would never return and banned my children from ever going back lest they also be raped by the IDF. You can’t kill me here zionist (in DC at least) but I know you wish you could.

I am so sorry that you, your family, and your friends have endured this terrible discrimination and abuse. I hope and pray that you are safe now. I am not Palestinian but know some Palestinian people personally, and their accounts support yours, so I fully believe you. Sadly, Zionism is rooted in genocidal sentiments, and abusive treatment of Palestinians is completely normalized in that culture. They want what is yours, and they'll take it by any means necessary. That has always been the Zionist playbook.

Hello Hasbara-Screamer sock puppet! You would have been believable except you have used the same phrasing before about the Zionist playbook.

Not PP but I’m the Palestinian giving firsthand accounts of what my own friends and family have experienced. You Zionists are really deranged. But then again this is what you do, approve the rape 4 year olds then scream about lies.

You certainly enjoy repeating the word rape.

So the OP should just keep quiet and not explain what the settlers, IDF, and IPS do? Are only Israelis allowed to make charges of sexual violence? Violent rape was caught on camera in Ofer prison. The victim couldn't walk and was taken to the hospital. Some of the perps/pervs were arrested, but a mass of Israelis -- including Israeli lawmakers -- DEFENDED them!!! Can't you at least condemn that?! Listen to the dehumanizing language used by Israeli leaders to describe Palestinians. Your view seems to be that Palestinians are disposable and expendable, and you've more or less admitted that you don't care about them being raped! You just want the abuses to be swept under the rug, just like you want the Palestinians to be swept away "somewhere else." Have you no humanity whatsoever?

They won’t, 77 years of treating us like animals, worse actually. To this Zionist I absolutely am expendable, non-human and a piece of trash to be disposed of. Because we’re posting on an anonymous message board, he can only make sarcastic jokes but if I were in Gaza or the West Bank or Israel for that matter I’d be hunted down and shot/imprisoned and tortured. They hate when this comes to light because it taints their “magical Middle East democracy fairy tale” democracy for Jews and misery for the rest is what it is.

That is exactly why they murder journalists who bring their crimes against humanity to light. They've killed 167 journalists in Gaza alone. They love murdering journalists almost as much as they love murdering healthcare workers.

8 kids dead in the West Bank in 2025. Most moral army indeed.

Also, forgot another anecdote, my 6 year old cousin was butted with the end of a rifle and 4 of his baby teeth were knocked out because he had the unfortunate circumstance of playing near some nasty IDF soldiers. When my aunt ran outside to get her son, they pointed their rifles and her and told her to watch, then aimed at my cousin who was crying in pain. The solider who did it said it was only baby teeth and that he didn’t mean it (while laughing). He screamed at him to stop crying or he would shoot my cousin in the head. Palestinians have many of these stories. Zionists know this happens on a daily basis and laugh about it.

You should watch the Netflix show Mo about a Palestinian American. It's actually a comedy/dramedy mini series, but The second season came out this week, and there is a scene similar to this where Mo's autistic adult brother gets followed by a autistic settler boy and when they return the boy back to the dad, the settler pulls out his rifle and tries to shoot. Another scene where they are at an Israeli airport and airport security breaks the VCR on purpose of Mo's dead dad's home videos after Mo tells security that's the only video he has of his father.
I think small indignities like this in passing make an impression on people more than war does. It makes them not see Israelis in a positive light at all which I can't imagine is a good thing for Israel's general safety. Why leave in permanent fear because youre shitty to all your neighbors and cant historically get along nowhere?

It’s funny to paint Jews are people who can’t get along nowhere when they have historically lived amongst non Jews successfully for millennia. Meanwhile not even their Islamic neighbors want to live amongst the Palestinians.

They dont want to live amongst Palestinians? Do they want to live amongst Jews? Tell that to Jordan and Kuwait and Qatar then. They have a large Palestinian population-so does Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.

Jews are the ones not welcome anywhere. Palestinians can move anywhere in the world and be safer than Jews. Jews were kicked out of 1,000 places over 2,000 years.

It feels like we're about to get kicked out of the US now, too.

But thank you PP for proving why we care so much that Israel continues to exist.

I’m wondering what do pro palestinian republican/third party voters think of their decision now?

Would love to hear their viewpoint.

It is now past time to implement UN Resolution 194:

The United Nations General Assembly adopts resolution 194 (III), resolving that “refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible.”

Palestinians now in Gaza need to return to their land and homes that Israel stole during the Nakba. Israel created the problem of two million refugees. It is now morally incumbent on Israel to house and feed them and provide healthcare to all of them and education for their children, who have now been out of school for over a year.

It's absurd to suggest Jordan, Syria, and Egypt take in refugees when they did not create this crisis. Israel created it and needs to clean up after itself.

I heard the Arab states created it . Told Muslims to get out of Israel as they were going to bomb it when Israel first became a free state. So they moved . Some stayed and did not fight in support of Israel so Israel kicked them out. None if the Muslim countries would allow them in thus the start of refugees in Gaza and West Bank. Blame the Muslim communities for creating this problem and not attempting to live in peace.

Your history is incorrect. Zionist terrorist gangs (the Irgun, the Alexandroni Brigade, etc.) and the early version of the IDF ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians (not all Muslim -- some Druze, some Christian) from what is now Israel during the Nakba (1947 to 1949). Zionist terrorists and the IDF also massacred about 15,000 Palestinians, in part to try to scare the rest away. These groups also told Palestinians to "temporarily move" for "security reasons," and then never allowed them to return.

Veterans of the Zionist terrorist groups and the IDF have admitted in interviews that they committed many atrocities against the Palestinians, including rape and murder. They also robbed Palestinians of their possessions. In many cases, Palestinian homes were bulldozed, but some were simply stolen and repurposed. For example, the village of Ein Hod, now an artists' colony, still has its original Palestinian cottages, which were stolen from the rightful inhabitants. The village mosque is now used as a pub. Palestinians were forced over borders into neighboring countries. On the long, forced marches, they had to stop at IDF checkpoints, where Israeli soldiers would pilfer their jewelry, watches, cash, and other belongings. If they tried to get back to their homes to recover some of their possessions, Israeli soldiers would murder them.

This is now well-documented and has been since Teddy Katz, then a student at Haifa University, began researching the topic and interviewing Zionist veterans in the 1980s. Your sanitized version is not true.

Somewhat accurate-ish, but misleadingly incomplete.

All of this happened AFTER the Palestinian leadership rejected the UN mandated 2 state partition and launched attacks on Israelis.

Meanwhile, the nascent Israeli leadership accepted the partition.

So, yes, Israeli extremist militias committed atrocities against Palestinians. But the Palestinian leadership (and their Arab allies) created the initial conflict in rejecting the UN's action and attempting to extirpate Israel.

As usual, plenty of blame to go around and no clean hands in this one.

I'm sure glad those college protests blamed Biden for everything..... Somehow that made people refuse to vote for a completely different candidate. Harris..... And instead wanted to vote for the guy who said he wanted to burn it to the ground. Seems logical..

Biden supported a 2 state solution and Palestinian independence (albeit toothlessly).

Trump opposes both.

Trump because he said we would take over Gaza and BiBi was immediately mad if you watched the announcement. He didn’t know about this. Frankly, Bibi needs to be put in his place and Trump is the guy who will do that.

Trump, obviously. Get the Palestinians far enough away that they can't keep attacking Israel and there will be fewer Palestinian deaths from the predictable and reasonable Israeli responses. Left in place, history shows the Palestinians will never be content to leave well enough alone and will keep trying to fight battles with Israel they historically never win. Their perpetual optimism that they somehow will ever prevail is underpinned by no reality, but keeps them coming back for seconds, thirds, etc. They need to be neutered by being relocated far enough away that they can't keep entertaining such feckless fantasies of eventual dominance.

History? Well that also shows that Jews get chased out of every where they try to live because they cause issues, so Palestinian resistance is warranted if you want to consider history.
