Unless there is a massive paradigm shift, the US will never disavow Israel. Trump would just as happily bomb a European state in defense of Israel.
Every time I read articles, see pictures, and videos of the absolute terror these people live in each day, I feel such despair. What would it take for the people capable of stopping the Israeli threat, to act? Because I’ve read accounts from reputable sources that would horrify any reader, corroborated by pictures/video. But it’s not enough?
One day, Israel will stop. It will be because their final solution completed.
Damn us all.
The paradigm shift has already happened; it’s just going to take a bit to kick in. The numbers are clear for >70% of the electorate and politicians under the age of 60. Hamas already won. The idea of Israel is over, it’s just going to take a couple of decades.
This is a really confusing statement.
Hamas wasn't attempting to win anything but the freedom of Palestinians. Hamas was the the resistance against Israel. Until Israel ceases it's genocide, Hamas will not win. Palestinians will not win.
The Palestinians do not have a couple of decades at the current rate.
Simultaneously, I don't think anyone supports the idea of dismantling the Israeli state - that would cause a humanitarian crisis itself.
What we all agree on is that we need to stop funding Israel entirely. That might happen sooner than later.
Hamas is a terrorist organization seeking the dismantling of the Israeli state.
Israel cannot exist without external support.
You are right about one thing — you are confused.
Louder.
