      I knew a handful of Jewish students who did Birthright when they were in college. There was always two reactions when they returned “Wow that was awesome!” Or “Wow, that was some bizarre shit”. Seems like nearly half the people would come back very radicalized. Literally had a suite mate who went there who previously had no opinion of Palestinians that went to “all Palestinians should be removed

        What an inane question. Of course they aren’t saying all Jews are racist. They’re saying that the people in charge of Israel are deeply racist. They also happen to be Jewish, but that isn’t really a factor.

      some of the people werent even jewish, its kind of racist to suggest everyone killed was jewish just because its Israel.

      I’m sure all the children Netanyahu has slaughtered will learn the lesson that if you attack the state of Israel, it will use that as an excuse to commit genocide.

        Oh geez…what ISN’T considered racist nowadays…Israel is doing what they think will prohibit another random attack…the Palestinian people are not all innocent. They continually support and vote for Hamas leaders. The majority of their people want Jews dead. It’s the same crap with other middle east countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran…sure, there’s some good people, but the overwhelming majority support their strict government and the people that make the laws…it’s not as easy as we all think for Israel just to target military members of Hamas when all the people there support them, protect them, and harbor them…

          Ah yes as if the European jews have been there for 2000 years. Cannanites are natives to the land and it was the tribes of israel that came from Egypt to their land. Modern day Palestinians are a mixture between cannanites, Arabs, jews and some other groups.

            Archaeological evidence doesn’t support any of the early events of the Bible. The evidence we have found of the time indicates that the Israelites were Canaanites, they were never in Egypt, and the battle of Jericho never happened, amoung other things that they made up around the time of the bronze age collapse.

            2000 years ago what’s now Ashkenazis still lived in Israel so… kind of self-defeating point there. You’d have to make sure to go a little less further back.

            Also the came from Egypt stuff, if it ever happened (at least in the sense of a great migration), is much further back than 2000 years. Also Jews were still polytheist and lots of random odds and ends.

          Honestly, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if, in the inevitable Israel Nuremberg Trials, it comes out that the Israeli government intentionally instigated or even carried out the October 7 attack in order to generate sympathy and as a pretext for its genocide.

                I don’t think there will be a trial. I just think it’s plausible, but not extremely likely, that Israel’s fascist government would be willing to plan or at least support an attack on its own citizens in order to obtain a mandate to take Palestine

            They might have let it happen intentionally and pulled Gaza troops to the West Bank beforehand.

            I’m not in charge of Israeli military policy, and im not here to justify their actions. But maybe Hamas should have considered the extent of retaliation when they started a war with them by murdering 1200 innocents.

            That was my whole point. By starting a war with Israel, they clearly had very little to zero consideration for the Palestinian people.

              Hamas are not murdering innocents anymore. Israel is. Continually. Unyielding. With glee.

              But it doesn’t matter what Hamas is doing, did, or will do. It’s all political pretense anyway. If it wasn’t that it would be something else. Israel wanted to cleanse the area finally and take over, and this seemed like a good excuse as any to rile up the zombie masses and rally them around the genocide campfire. You’re falling for it. You’re part of the problem.

                Hamas attacked Israel. I hardly think there needs to be much more of an excuse. They will continue Genociding until they feel safe or satisfied.

                My argument is that if Hamas actually cared about “their people”, they wouldn’t have started a war against a much stronger enemy who has proven to have very little care for causing civilian loss.

                The “if it wasn’t this, it would have happened anyway” is a big assumption that nobody will be able to prove one way or the other

                  You are putting the responsibility for those murders entirely on Hamas rather than the government currently perpetrating them, thus justifying that government’s actions.

        I understand that Israelis hate Palestinians. That’s exactly why Hamas going and starting this war was the absolute worst thing they could’ve possibly done, if they truly cared about the Palestinian people. It gave Israel all the justification they needed to kill tens of thousands. That’s it. Not saying the justification is right, but it opened the door
