Exactly. When someone thinks an occupied people living under siege and military occupation can just wake up one day and decide to hold elections I can only shake my head. Israel won't allow it, because they love Hamas being in power in Gaza, it provides a very easy excuse for their actions. Israel loves the status quo, because they can seemingly get away with anything as it is.

I've said this before and I will say it again. This period of time will go down in history as a particularly dark time in human history. The fact that not only is this happening, but efforts to stop it from people with real power to change it is incredibly minimal. The world powers letting this happen is perhaps worse that the Zionists doing it.

Years, decades *

I hear what you're saying, Bibi and his cabinet of whack jobs are currently the main perpetrators. However, if for arguments sake, Biden sat down with Bibi on October 8th and outlined very clear red lines for it's military aid, ensuring any action that was to be undertaken by Israel would be discriminate and proportionate, we'd be in a VERY different position right now.

Biden and the US military aid to Israel is not the only thing enabling the genocide in Gaza, but the genocide in Gaza would not have been able to happen without it.

Guys, imagine being THIS out to lunch.

I'm waiting for the IOF to make a very public display of the apache gunners who shot indiscriminately at the festival, or the tank commanders firing indiscriminately at homes in the kibbutzim. Your argument falls flat when the Israeli army not only is killing thousands of civilians in Gaza (and are proud of it btw), but also their own citizens on Oct 7.

• Reminder that multiple Palestinian villages have been ethnically cleansed in the West Bank during the assault on Gaza, by settler militias supported by the IOF.

• Reminder that Israel rejected early proposals for hostage exchanges opting instead for carnage on the Palestinian civilians.

• Reminder that Israel KNEW of the October 7 attack ahead of time and failed to do anything to stop it.

• Reminder that Israel is by all accounts a setler-colonial ethnostate imposing apartheid on the Palestinian people.

Reminder that there was a 56 year occupation and a 75 year ethnic cleansing before the 7th of October attacks

Killing - no matter the victim is inhuman.

Believing one side has the right to kill while the other must take it, is pretty gross.

"Slaughtering civilians in the streets" is precisely what the IDF does on the regular, just so you know. It's hard to imagine any group of people would live under military occupation for 70+ years after being forced to leave their homes for refugee camps without the desire to fight for their freedom.

Perhaps prejudiced is a more appropriate term. And I agree, I think we ought to avoid such inflammatory statements about an entire nation of people based on the actions of a relatively small few, even when those actions are despicable.

Man, why'd you have to go there?
