        The one where Hamas isn’t running from the Palestinian people in utter fear for having caused and prolonged their suffering under things such as the dual use policy. Instead, Hamas is more popular than ever. It’s inexcusable. Their ideolgy is one of far right authoritarianism, which makes your profile commentary an absolute joke. Again, wondering why you’re here siding with the diplomatic corps of Iran and North Korea, against those of Canada and Japan, France and America. Truly bizarre how twisted up you are.

          I support Palestinian emancipation, not the actions of Hamas. You’re confusing geopolitical interests of countries that want to weaken the global power of the US and humanitarian interests in Palestinian people to have basic human rights. I guess Ireland is also siding with North Korea if your view is that simplistic. Most of those countries you mentioned just want to weaken the US foothold in the middle east and soft power and don’t have a genuine interest in Palestinian emancipation. You’re the one getting it twisted

            You and Ireland got tricked.

            Have the civilians been giving warnings to evacuate again and again? Yes. Do they stay behind to die as voluntary martyrs to draw sympathy? Yes.

            Those are the facts. And they aren’t doing because they want to “see America weakened” or whatever bs you think you know about. The are doing it because the self determination of individuals through representative government is antithetical to their entire sense of identity and being, you know, rich customs such as stoning women to death for learning too much math and other atrocities.

              You think Palestinians like to get killed for Internet fame? That makes no sense, you have no idea what a martyr is here, it’s anyone who dies from the occupying forces.

              Your argument boils down to “it’s their fault they died because they wanted to” and “they deserve it because of their backward views” none of which are based in reality. I’ve given you a huge variety of sources you can easily verify on your own accord. Yet you consider that a ‘trick’ unlike the official IDF narrative supported by many western media outlets despite a record of falsified information. Even Biden has literally repeated IDF talking points such as the 40 beheaded babies, until it was quickly proven false and walked back.

                If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that JustZ guy/gal thinks Gazans are a bunch of camel-piss drinkers…

                Classic colonial argument, “We have to bring them democracy! They don’t know any better!”

                Worked for the US when invading Iraq and it’s sure as hell working for Israel now lol up to a point.

                  Hey when you can’t make an argument call me a racist, which is ridiculous.

                  I supported statehood for Gaza through October 6. I protested the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

                  They are not at all comparable to this war right here, though. This war began with an a terrorist-invasion of mass shootings and indiscriminate rocket attacks.

                    Your basic logic is:



                    • Democracies don’t commit genocide
                    • Israel is a democracy

                    • Hence Israel cannot commit genocide


                    Not only is the idea of Israel being a democracy questionable at best, but also your logical reasoning is flawed.

                    I’m not saying you’re right or wrong, I’m saying your logic is bad.

                Second sentence of your link:

                The celebration of martyrs as a phenomenon in Palestine has been present since at least 1968, but became more widespread in the early 1990s.

                  In Palestine, the term shahid for “martyr” is used to mean any person who was killed by an aggressor, whether targeted or untargeted, and regardless of religion. Researchers Neil Whitehead and Nasser Abufarha state that the shahid concept of a victim who falls at the hands of an oppressor became a symbol of the First Intifada and was congruent with the political dynamics of the time when efforts were made to lobby international support for Palestinians’ pursuit for independence.

                  You have all the links to learn about the history of Israel practicing Settler Colonialism and the creation/maintainance of an Apartheid State. You choose to ignore them

                  Yes, we Palestinians celebrate resisting colonial oppression, and even though a “martyr” is essentially an Islamic term used to describe people who die fighting the enemy, we Palestinians use it for any and every Palestinian of every religion or of no religion out of respect for their struggle, whether they die while fighting or in their homes alongside their whole family.

                    Yes I know, and glorify them as heroes for the cause. Does Hamas not force people to stay and be killed? Does Hamas not lie to people about whether they are safe, about whether to evactuate? Do not some Palestinians knowingly ignore warnings so that they can be “martyred?”

                Yes it’s true. The UK is not trick averse, as with Brexit. A lot of people there, as in America, are angry want to see the violence stopped. I am too. I just don’t think the violence should stop until Hamas is gone and the area can be rebuilt safely.

                It seems clear to me why Irish leadership has more sympathy with Hamas than than folks in the UK. Do you need me to explain their history?

                  Do you think they can actually remove Hamas with this strategy they are using now?

                    No they cannot defeat Hamas using strategic bombing alone. The strategy is evolving. Already the bombings have slowed way down. Pretty soon it will be man to man combat followed by at least a few years of martial law during reconstruction.
