This video is honestly heartbreaking. This old man couldn’t even get a piece of bread and the US is allowing this monstrous thing to happen to Gaza. Wtf.
My Jewish friends didn’t even want to defend this, they all didn’t want to defend Israel because of this. God bless that old man :(
I have no dogs in this fight, so we can agree to disagree about the current leadership capabilities of both countries, Palestine and Israel.
No, I will not agree that its okay for anyone to blame the victims in this situation for their own genocide, but you can run away if you’re so afraid of challenging your own western chauvinist notions.
You don’t get it, do you? I think ALL govenments are tyrannical and act like terrorists in the end. Violence is violence, and none of it is justified.
You think a government is going to just give up power, that it won’t take mass organization to challenge hegemonic powers and a new form of governance to deprogram the racist settler colonial ideology that is embedded into the Israeli populace? That’s incredibly unrealistic. What’s your plan to get there, then, and how does it help Palestinians?
Dogmatically denouncing all violence, when violence is the main tactic employed to enforce hegemony, is reactionary and counter productive. It only serves the status quo, to keep us where we are. It’s chauvinism.
I don’t have any plan, nor do I want to make one. I was merely making a point.
Then your point is a bad one. See my edit.
I wasn’t denouncing violence, I was denouncing bad men. There’s a difference. George Washington was just as much of a terrorist as Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yes you were???
Who is the “bad man” on the Hamas side that hasn’t already been martyred? If there is none, why do you denounce Gaza’s entire government but only one “bad man” when it comes to Israel? Is there any organization that would take up arms; put their lives on the line and use violence strategically to defend their people and resist violent occupation; that you would not denounce?
All of them are bad, because of their chauvinism.
