At what point exactly did it go from retaliation strike to genocide? When the US dropped nukes on Japan was it Genocide as well? Give up Hamas and any hostages and Israel will have no justification to continue destroying Gaza. It’s common sense. Civilians die when their terrorist government hides behind them.
I’m convinced you’re a shill trying to turn young democrats away from voting for Biden. Nobody can look at the images from October 7th and act so clueless as to why Israel might be fucking pissed off and want to level Gaza and everyone in it.
Keep in mind the Israelites have actually been the victims of attempted genocide probably more than any other people.
I don’t think the US should send any more artillery to Israel. But if you’re suggesting we get involved, get a fucking clue. I’m done sending Americans to fight and die in ancient holy wars.
At what point did you ever question your strong belief that the occupation in Gaza and the West Bank should end?
I assume never.
I’m convinced you are arguing in bad faith. I’m sorry, but there never has nor will there ever be a good valid and moral reason to level an occupied territory killing over 30,000 civilians in less than a year.
Keep in mind there is never a good excuse for genocide, even more so if your people have been the attempted victims of genocide.
I’m suggesting we stop giving Israel offensive weapons.
Vote your conscious, I would never in a million years vote for Trump but as it stands I will not vote for Biden. I voted for Obama twice.
Not voting for Biden is a vote for Trump. We all wanted Bernie but when the establishment shut him out he told us to vote for Hilary. Many of us didn’t vote and we almost lost Democracy. The road to AOC or someone like her ends if Trump gets into office. Democracy as we know it will end.
Gaza and the West Bank have been under contention forever. Jews and Muslims will always hate each other. We shouldn’t support either, I agree. We shouldn’t take any side at all.
35k deaths isn’t genocide. Not even close. Are civilians being allowed a path to evacuate to Palestine?
I disagree with everything you just said. Have a good weekend
Gaza inhabitant are under blockade and mistreated ... The Israel government favorised hamas against fatah for a long time (and the current Israel president assumed it).
There is apartheid in Israel and the retake of Gaza would have happened without the 7 October.
I hope you say thar because you just don't know how to act while thousand of civilians are being killed and you try to find a reason to ignore it so you can sleep.
A compromised moderator deleted my previous comment so I already feel vindicated. This is becoming reddit so much faster than expected! That said, I just can't help myself.
I love that your rhetoric is "Isreal would have attacked Gaza anyway." Fucking brilliant stance. Who is fucking buying this shit?
And I sleep fine becuase I learned when I was a child that God is a story and I'm entitled to nothing. The lands these people fight over will be uninhabitable in 20 years anyway. I hope the centuries of misery was worth it.

I'm on my own instance of pleroma, so I still can read your old post.

Anyone who follows Israel politics before 7 October. Government talked about retake of Gaza before this day...
> And I sleep fine becuase I learned when I was a child that God is a story and I'm entitled to nothing. The lands these people fight over will be uninhabitable in 20 years anyway. I hope the centuries of misery was worth it.
Sorry? People are being killed, that's it. Why talking about God here? You're bringing religion into a political matter that is much more linked to colonization and imperialism...
I don't see any good point in what you said... Are you a troll?
Am I a troll? Are you a Russian shill?
All of this is about religion. You think the Jews and Muslims hate each other because of imperialism? Homey, their hatred predates the fucking bow and arrow. They believe they are entitled to Gaza by divine right. It’s not worth trying to convince either side they’re fucking idiots. That’s why I sleep well. Because I don’t waste my time trying to change the minds of sheep.
I understand the irony of that comment as I argue with someone on the internet.
