There’s centuries+ of history of Israel invading and attacking Palestinians (the indigenous folks) bc they think the area of Palestine is promised to them, in October 2023 Hamas (a Palestinian resistance group) attacked Israel, Israel is now using it as an excuse to genocide the Palestinians, 1/3 of Israeli arms are from the USA

Funny how people skip the part where Hamas slaughtered, raped and kidnapped CIVILIANS on Oct 7. It’s what any country would do if terrorists hid behind civilians and launched rockets at them

funny how Zionists skip the part where the IDF shot a car full of civilians and children 335 times (murdering seven people, including a five-year-old girl who spent her last hours alive begging for rescue after watching her entire family be murdered in front of her) and then killed the paramedics that came to help them!!

Palestinian=/=Hamas. we can mourn the lives lost on Oct 7 AND acknowledge that 1) that day’s attacks were a reaction to decades of oppression 2) the kidnappings and killings do not mean that the IDF is justified in the war crimes that followed. 68,000 palestinians (with an estimated 80% being civilians) have been killed due to the brutal attacks and systemic starvation that the IDF has wrought. Doctors Without Borders, the United Nations, Human Rights Watch, and more have labeled it a genocide

“The genocide has been recognised by a United Nations special committee and commission of inquiry, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, multiple human rights groups, numerous genocide studies and international law scholars, and other experts.” (Wikipedia)
