      I 100% condemn Hamas and their terrorism, but I have been thinking of this skit a lot lately, wondering how many Isrealis are experiencing this revelation and asking “Are we the badies?”

        Sometimes people forget the lesser evil is still evil. And Benjamin “lets-prop-up-hamas-to-weaken-the-PLO” Netanyahu definitely fits the bill.

        This whole conflict is nothing but villains and victims. There’s no moral high ground and no good guys.

          Totally agree. I don’t support Hamas and their terrorism, nor do I support Isreal’s genocide and ethnic cleansing.

    It is important to … recognise the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation

    This is the statement they’re doing this over? It seems pretty tame. What the fuck Israel?
    Is it because Gaza was blockaded but not occupied at the time of the attack?

    Erdan has already demanded Guterres’ resignation and described his remarks as blood libel.

    That’s not what blood libel means.

    Israel is seriously losing the plot. And possibly it’s grasp on reality.

    Don’t they have a super right-wing government right now? This kind of frothing at the mouth sure sounds like it.

      It’s so weird because they’ve been pretty effective in the past at this. This time it just seems to be such low quality and low effort, yet it’s coming at me on almost every platform I use. The stuff that’s showing up on my YouTube where it’s like “10 most fierce IDF women soldiers,” and the thumb is a beautiful Jewish woman with a photoshopped scratch on her face.

    It’s obvious to any observer this Israeli government are monsters, even by Israeli standards.

    I hope that history takes note of those leaders who a flocked to stand alongside them.

    Humanity would not prevail.

    Their current stance of the Israeli government is that there is no such thing as a humanitarian crisis, the UN is presenting a false picture of the situation in Gaza and that the civilian casualty numbers are severely exaggerated.

    Despite them restricting food, water, electricity and fuel and even blocking on purpose humanitarian aid to the enclave.

    Despite their indiscriminate bombing, flattening out complete neighbourhoods.

    Despite them hitting targets south of the line the IDF suggested civilians to go.

    Refusing to admit your own mistakes or wrongdoings is the first step towards dictatorship even though some might argue that they are already one.

    And let’s not forget that the UN was the institution that ratified the creation of this whole country. Oh the turntables!

    The UN has been sending their troops to countries for years to put a stop to genocides.

    Places like Serbia must be kicking themselves right now, like they had no idea just saying “no” and carrying on killing was an option.

      I watched a good documentary recently called “roadmap to apartheid” that shows the comparison of the apartheid regime in South Africa and the ongoing Israeli apartheid. It touches on the relationship between the two countries during that era too. It is shocking how much worse the Israeli one is. It was hard to watch at times but it shows peace is possible. It is on youtube if anyone is interested.

      At least when the US does it, they sprinkle in a liberation narrative.

      "Obviously we’re retaliating hard with maximum flex-

      “BOOOOOO!”

      “But! But! But! We’ll liberate a bunch of people while we’re there and be aware of civilians and their lives.”

      “Oh. Well that seems nice. You won’t harm innocents?”

      “We’ll be aware of civilians and their lives. And the liberation.”

      “Well, okay then…”
