Replace “Israel suck and occupation bad” with “literally every fucking thing”.
You can say fuck religion, but most of the issue is over holy sites and religion
from 1948-1967 “Trans-Jordan” occupied East Jerusalem, and only Muslims could pray near the temple mount. Besides the fact that they were defending itself and trying to exist, Israel wanted Jews to be able to pray in Jerusalem which was part of the 2 state plan and having a path to jerusalem is importnat. Israel has “occupied” East Jerusalem for 54 years and has allwed Jordan to maintain control of the Temple Mount as long as Jews can pray at the Wailing Wall and for a religious purposes it has worked
I dont think Israel bombs civilians and mosques in general for the heck of it. There are times when intel tells them that Hamas hides bombs and rockets under mosques and schools and such, and Israel has to do what it has to do. But there also seems to be times that Israel targets civilians as revenge for their civilians that were targeted, and it’s fair to criticize Israel for that
The issue becomes Israel gets criticized for having a good defense; if 250 israelis and 250 palesteninians died in this last clash, there would be less uproar. But even though Hamas shot 4000 rockets at Israeli Civilians, since fewer than 20 Israeli civilians were actually murdered, and more Palesteninians died (some by misfired Hamas rockerts by the way), the narrative is Israel is in the wrong
Jews were forced out of most of the other nations; Jews are still not allowed in many mid-east nations. After the holocaust was over, most countries, including the US would not accept most of the Jewish Refugees that lost their homes and livelyhoods do to the Holocaust. So yes, it was important for Jews to have a safe haven. It may seem less important now, but it is only less important because Israel exists
6,000,000 Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, more than half of all the Jews in the world
today there are 14,000,000 Jews and more than half of them live in Israel.
Many Jews and Arabs do get along. 17% of the population of Israeli CITIZENS are Arab and are very happy living in Israel. The issue is the Palestenians have been used by both sides as pawns for too long and have gotten screwed
“There were times when intelligence told Hitler that the jews were planning to overthrow the state, so Germany did what it had to do”
Bootlicker Mets - 1942
except Israel isnt lying
Blowing up the AP building is a perfect example
Israel had intel on this for years. When people have left the AP they have anonymously confirmed it
Israel showed the Intel to Biden Admin as well which is why they did not condemn Israel for that
You actually think Israel just shot the AP to stop the press? How naive are you?
Oddly enough I didnt mention the AP.
Have there been anonymous confirmations that Hamas is hiding stuff under apartment buildings? Schools? Civilian centers? Roads leading to hospitals?
You fascist fuck
im sure you believe it’s false im not surprised.
If you used any more straw to build that argument, where would fascist bootlicking pigs like you ever live?
Also, as is shockingly par for the course, your article doesnt say what you claim it does. Blinken said the US has receieved intelligence, not that its credible.
I can wipe my ass and send it to Blinken and he could claim he received intelligence as well.
there is a reason Biden and Blinken did not condemn Israel and its not because they lick their boots
Yeah buddy we’ve heard this many times, there’s super secret intelligence that no one can see but really trust us!
Also the intelligence justifies our continued human rights violations and violations of international law but it’s ok for the Israel, the US and it’s allies to do that
You don’t fucking shoot through the human shield you fucking psycho
There’s lots of evidence of human shields used in the past, it’s just been the IDF using Palestinians as human shields
in theory that would be ideal.
do you know of any other country in the world that drops flyers telling people to leave buildings hours before they bomb them?
How thoughtful! Flyers from the sky you say? Thats sure to reach everyone who might be indoors at the time.
Or sleeping
Or doing any number of things that would have them not being outside.
But flyers? My word, I had no idea. That completely exonerates them from actively attacking civilians and children. And my oh my do these slick, black, leather boots taste like ice cream and candy canes
I did not say it completely exonerates anythng. I am saying if their goal was to kill civilians they would not send out flyers
How should Israel have responded to 4000 unprovoked rockets targeted at its civilains? Because only 12 israeli civilians (2 children) were murdered they should have done nothing?
serious question
you can criticize some of israel’s tactics, accuse them of war crimes for nto taking enough care to not kill civilians, that is fine; did you criticize Hamas for shooting 4000 rockets at israel at all?
When someone invades your land you’re going to get shot
invades whose land? Israel isnt invading Gaza first of all, Gaza is a sovereign government
if native americans started attacking us in the US, should we not fight back?
What are the Palestinians supposed to do in response to being driven off their land, subjected to blockades, hit with massively asymmetric violence, and forced to live in subhuman conditions?
