Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Tuesday claimed the social media platform TikTok is creating “warped” perceptions of Israel’s war with the Palestinian militant group Hamas. When as…
Quite a bit. Like, using centuries old conflicts as justification for contemporary wars is sick, and even less meaningful when the majority of those who this justification would be applied to have absolutely no history that ties them to the supposed historical events.
On the other hand, the people who started the Gaza genocide, are not only still alive, many of them are still in positions of power, and still actively engaging in furthering and perpetuating the genocidal project of the Israelis.
So, if, by your logic, Jewish Israelis, who the vast majority of which have no ethnic or cultural ties to Palestine, can use 15 century old conflicts as the basis for modern day genocide, then why can’t contemporary Palestinians, who can put a face and name to those actively engaging in genocide against them, fight back? Why is it always framed as if Palestine attacking Israel is an act of aggression, while the wholesale oppression and systematic murder of Palestinians is never seen as such? The Al-Aqsa Flood was a desperate measure by an oppressed group in the fact of escalating violence against them. Hundreds or thousands of Palestinians are extrajudicially killed every year, thousands arrested and held for months or years without trial. Thousands dispossessed of their homes every year. It is definitively an act of defense to attack those perpetuating these violent abuses upon them.
Isn’t your logic then that if Israel doesn’t stop then they will rightfully own the area because there won’t be any descendants of the people they killed?
As per my original point, if you ignore the other side then it’s easy to see yourself as right
And as you can see by the people replying to me, they have no clue about the other side of it
Don’t try to “both sides” me
If you have any understanding of “last time they killed us they eradicated us” then you might understand why Israel is acting the way they are
And you’ll get people chanting to get rid of Israel/extend Palestine to the sea
Of course Israel is going to be fighting for their lives
It’s fine if you want that but don’t blame the other side for thinking you want that and don’t pretend to be leftist if you aren’t looking for a joint solution
As for anyone dumb enough to say “they have no choice but terrorism/violence” that is only justified when you want to eliminate the other side
We don’t blow up pipelines or execute billionaires in hopes of a compromise, we do it in hopes to get rid of them
Lmao what?
You love to assume. Ever heard why you don’t assume? I’ll let you google it.
What else could be inferred from what you said
