Yet you’ll hear everyone say “Hamas is the reason for all the problems”.
Well, Hamas doesn’t exist in the west bank, so why are people there getting killed and their land stolen by Israeli settlers and the IDF?
Hamas exists in the West Bank but they’re not in power. Still wouldn’t excuse illegal settlements even if they were in charge
So, the problem isn’t Hamas, the problem is Israel wants to invade Palestine and take all of the land. That is their true purpose.
And genocide the Palestinians.
lol according to the mods I’m a bigot for stating that more than one problem can exist at a time. Sorry for the wrongthink, jannies

We have just established that Israel wants to take all Palestinian lands, that is the problem.

Please stop justifying genocide
Yes please also stop justifying genocide by disagreeing with a basic statement like “HAMAS is also a problem”
Please stop using whataboutism to justify genocide.
It’s not whataboutism, both are wrong.
This shit is reprehensible…fuck Hamas, fuck the Israelis that do this. The West Bank settlements are infuriating; and the fact remains that the international community’s response only enables the continuing theft of land that properly should belong to Palestine.
Yet god forbid, you speak out on this, or any of the atrocities either side commit, you’re either branded an anti-semite, or a Zionist. This shit has continued for longer than I’ve been alive, and quite frankly I’ve seen horrific things done to Jews and Palestinians.
I only support the innocent people now. Israel and Palestine have a right to exist. This shit can’t continue.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The tiny settlement overlooking the Bedouin village of Ein Rashash is named “Angels of Peace”, but, says Sliman al-Zawahri, its residents have visited only violence, fear and despair on his family.
This week the Bedouin community packed up most of their belongings and drove all the women, children and elderly people from the West Bank ridge they had called home for nearly four decades, perched above a spring and beside an archaeological site.
Men from Angels of Peace are part of a broad, violent and very successful political project to expand Israeli control of the West Bank that has accelerated, say activists, since the 7 October attacks by Hamas launched a war with Israel.
“This has been the most successful land-grab strategy since 1967,” said Yehuda Shaul, a prominent activist who is director of the Israeli Center for Public Affairs thinktank, and a founder of Breaking the Silence, an NGO that exposes military abuses in occupied areas.
Along with demolitions, evictions and restrictions on movement and construction, the attacks on herders created “a coercive environment that contributes to displacement that may amount to forcible transfer, a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva convention”.
In the most extreme cases, villagers are so frightened of travelling on roads controlled by settlers that Israeli activists from groups that try to protect Bedouin communities – living with them, walking with them as they herd flocks and documenting abuses – are bringing them food and water.
