as someone who’s friends with a lot of zionists, they just disregard the genocide part and say that it’s “justified”

To the extent people in this yy pretend to care, its because Trump is now president. When Biden was president, I saw a lot of extremely vile anti-Palestinian rhetoric out of this community.

Because antisemitism has historically manifested as the scapegoating and demonization of Jews and the false portrayal of Jews as nefariously exerting power, and with things associated with Jews such as Israel and Zionism, so allegations of Israel committing genocide, and specifically comparisons of Israel’s actions in the Palestinian territories to the Holocaust or Holocaust inversion, were rightly at least initially taken with skepticism by many people aware of the history of antisemitism.

Almost any modern war has more civilian casualties, so every war should be labeled a genocide. But I’m saying they attacked and have historically never tried to work with Israel.

It’s pretty obvious to me that you don’t understand the history behind how long this “war” has been going on, this is a result of 100 ongoing efforts of Israelis to kill, contain, and eradicate Palestinians. It is similar, and worse than what colonizers did to Native Americans.

So they tried eradicating them by giving them land and removing their own governance from the land? If they wanted to they could have wiped them off already. It’s the Palestine government you can thank for never cooperating

Perhaps you should reflect a moment on why countries like Ireland, South Africa, and Cherokee Nation resonate strongly with the Palestinian cause.

They did try to cooperate and the white people broke so many treaties. Differently from Gaza

1) You think Israel hasn’t broken treaties? Be serious now. 2) entire wars were fought by Native nations to resist colonization. There was always resistance. 2) it’s odd as fuck to imply that capitulation to colonial invasion is a requisite to be protected from apartheid and mass killings.

Most tribes were willing to co exist. But even the ones that signed treaties and were willing got murdered. Palestine doesn’t want to co exist and that’s on them

You’re focusing on presidency stuff when what actually matters is more people talking about it. Besides every single president is a war criminal.

No, pretty sure that the US President using their immense geopolitical power and UN security council veto, and selling Isntreal weapons is more important than people talking about it

In 1984 Isntreal was bombing Beirut, and Reagan called the PM to tell them to stop. They stopped within 20 minutes.

Bro hamas is gone. Most of Gaza is wiped the fuck out. Even Israel confirmed that hamas can’t function anymore. At this point and even before this point it was blatant genocide

Their top leaders were literally confirmed to be killed. And even the Houthi’s and hezbollah can’t even keep going on fighting with Israel… so what’s the justification for Israel keep dropping bombs? There is none and it’s extremely blatant genocide

If anything Israel needs to be stopped cos it’s just gonna drag us into a war with Iran or its allies. Cos Russia backs Iran so it’s really a lose lose situation for everyone. The Palestinians, Iranians, Israelis and even us
