| It’s incredibly upsetting to hear the reports on the bbc radio. I have to turn it off, I feel so helpless. What can we do?? |
What you mean is that statistically and literally Israel has been the constant target of Palestinian violence since 1948. That Israel has always prevailed against those who attack them doesn't change the fact that they are the victims of terrorism, not the perpetrators. "Aggressor" has a dictionary meaning. Twisting it to try to label Israel, the only victim of regional terror, with a pejorative when they defend themselves is both laughable and immoral. Feelings have nothing to do with it. That Palestinian attempts at genocide fail doesn't excuse them, and doesn't insulate the perpetrators from retaliation. If you want to express support for Palestinian lives, you'd do better to suggest an end to Palestinian terrorism, without which there would be no need for retaliation or for self-defense. Look at Jordan and Egypt, which gave up their aggression against Israel after their defeats following ill-considered military adventurism and which have enjoyed peace as a result. |
You can turn off the radio, and exhort Hamas to release the hostages and surrender. |
This is Zionist logic, in the most concise nutshell imaginable. This should be stickied at the top of every page of every thread related to this conflict. It precisely sets the backdrop for EVERY SINGLE EVENT in the region for the past 100+ years. |
When you're as confused as you are, it's pointless to note that you're just wrong on the facts, wrong on the history, and hopelessly immoral in your support for terrorism. |
“Preemptive self-defense” … 😂 FOH with your revisionist horseshit. |
I am not there to verify exactly what's going on and TBH I don't trust either of the sides. There are lies and also tons of fake photos (pure AI and lots of staged stuff). My outrage would be entirely dependent on whatever is shown to me or from engagement with activists who would obviously work hard to promote their agenda no matter what it is. Recently there was a photo of an overweight woman holding an emaciated boy in her arms that's been circulating on X. It appears that her poor child is suffering from some condition and it's not starvation because the woman appears to be very well fed. Some of the comments pointed out that a child in this condition should not be subjected to the horrible realities of war, and I fully agree with this. But as far as some accounts pandering this as an example of wartime starvation, I don't appreciate being taken for an idiot. So, OP, what would you like us to do? |
I am unequivocally opposed to all forms of terrorism. Read that statement again if comprehension is an issue for you. That position (mine) is the underlying reason why I denounce you and your fellow Zionists for the systemic terrorism at the heart of Zionism and the state-sponsored terrorism committed by the State of Israel every day. |
Why dies your perverted, addled mind always proceed to “wiping off the map” histrionics? Is it that you cannot imagine reform? |
That’s funny, I read an article today about Israeli settlers diverting the water source for fourteen Palestinian communities to create a recreational spring for themselves, vandalizing and destroying infrastructure to do so. They also murdered several people in the last few weeks alone (including an American citizen), burned down their homes, and have been allowed to do so by the Israeli government. This is in addition to the deliberate starvation of the people in Gaza and the continued murder and maim by Israeli bombs and guns. Tell me again how you’re the victim of violent attacks and not the perpetrators. |
| Zionism = Terrorism. |
Bingo! Not only are they synonymous, modern day terrorism was created by the founding fathers and mothers of Israel, reject imports from Eastern Europe and the U.S. Read all about the horrific acts those sick Fs perpetrated on the indigenous people they always intended to dominate, subjugate, and eventually eliminate. |
+1000 It's an ideology of violent nationalism by any means necessary. |
Demand that Hamas surrender and return the remaining hostages. |
The Palestinians are the enemies of Israel. What do you expect? |
