A hospital? Hamas.

A newspaper office? Hamas.

A pile of food and water? Believe it or not, also Hamas!

Please don’t call them Jews. They are Zionists and have nothing to do with Judaism.

What’s worse is there was a pretty good example of what not to do from one of Israel’s “best friends” who even warned them “oh my good remember that time we did that thing? Don’t”

Then here they are. Doing the thing. Worse it seems.

It’s as if Israel is doing their best to justify what happened on October 6th

Not really. They’ve always (for more than 100 years) been like this. This nonsense didn’t start now.

I feel a bit complicated on their early history, kibutzes being a little too close to communalism in some details and Mossad being pulp fiction international spies hunting nazis (or how media makes them look). I’m a tad bit too impressionable, right. But this gazan fuckery is an idiotic feedback loop – the current power holders from Israel can’t stop killing people because the threat of Hamas is the very reason they are in power, so they would only continue to up these stakes to keep themselves in power until someone stops them. There’s no way it can be resolved without bloodthirsty idiots in Israel being put aside, because they’d continue to actualize themselves with more violence. And although I don’t really support external parties meddling in other nation’s politics, the only way I can see it solved is UN peacemakers on the ground making IDF’s killing spree too problematic to continue. I imagine there’d be more than deep concerns if their snipers would kill a EU citizen by mistake and not some palestinian. It’s depressing that I can’t think of other ways to solve it without foreign soldiers acting like literal hostages.

When it all started, I thought Gaza was a place ridden by poverty because I didn’t know much about it, but looking at old photoes of it I see a pretty european city not unlike those I visited. Although Israeli policies did a lot of harm to it, it looked like a place to visit or even live in. High rise buildings, cafes, barber shops, malls. All of them leveled by artillery fire. And I’m surprised that IDF can just do that and have no repercussions. If, like, Britain would bruise Paris like that, there won’t be any end to criticizing it. But there’s it’s told like it’s another monday. And that’s probably the most frightening about all that war, that it’s so routinely done and only the minority of politicians call them out for that. I hate that world.
