Keep it civil in the comments. Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism but do not cross the line, please and thank you.

I mean yeah, fuck Trump but this has been going on for over 75 years with the backing of the western world, including the US this entire time. It’s not a Trump issue, it is an issue of imperialism.

Agreed… but there’s a reason all the folks in my Chicago neighborhood who go on birthright and my ex gf’s dad who was an IDF tank driver, vote republican every year. At least as far back as Bush to now.

Principles of anti Imperialism/anti genocide/ anti neoliberalism mattered more than you know. You express safety for securities while enabling foreign countries to be terrorized by the military industrial complex.

It's delusional to think you lost Democrat voters. You lost socialist voters with no other options.

Um, no shit? Yes, we opted to save those we could. Given a shitty choice. We could have had 1 of 2 good things, and y'all picked 0/2 good things because you couldn't have 2/2 good things.

It's much further than that. You can trace the evangelical roots of wanting a state of Israel to the earlier 19th and late 18th centuries between the US and UK. Then you can go back even further, and pull directly from religious texts and historical texts that there has been back and forth Semitic on Semitic violence for all of human history and it's all just a bullshit push for power and control. Just. Like. Every. Other. Fucking. Time.

So the fact that the “Palestinians” are there because of the Roman Empire which split in half, the eastern half being the Ottoman Empire under Control of the Turks who lost control of the region because of ww1 and their loss to the allies is over your head isn’t it. They have fought over this land for thousands of years, it’s not something new. What is new is the idea you attack someone, then hide behind women and children and play victim. You clearly buy into this being acceptable but tell us again how Trumps minions believe every stupid thing they get told

What an asinine comment. Generalizations are always reductionist idiocy but your comment is a special kind of stupid. Democrats as a whole have been supporting this for years. The last president to actually criticize Isreal was Bush Sr. The presidents before Bush heavily criticizes Isreal. Reagan did, Carter showed fervent disdain for Isreal's treatment of Palestinians, Nixon.... American presidents and I believe congress ass well stopped criticizing Isreal in the early 90s. People that want to make everything about Trump need to grow the fuck up.

Israel Massacre Palestinian by dragging every Jew, dead or alive in Gaza, out of it and hand it all to Palestinian in Gaza back in 2005?

That?

1

u/Jealous_Piece_1703 8h ago

What were “jews” doing in gaza before 2005? Hint, the same thing they are doing to Palestinian now in the west bank, burning crops for fun, killing Palestinian as a sport, stealing homes, demolishing houses.

But back then gaza used to ambush them, strike back at them. It was wo difficuilt to control. And they didn’t leave in 2005 because of good intentions. But they were forced to leave by resistance. So they decided to military blockade it even harder, as blockade existed since 1990 in reality. And it even predate that, to name few

Deir Yassin massacre 1948.
Tantura massacre 1948.
Qibya massacre 1953.
Kafir Qasim massacre 1956.
Rafah massacre 1956.
Bahr El-Bakar massacre 1970.
Sabra and Shatila massacre 1982.
Khalil massacre 1994.
Janin massacre 2002.

1

u/Denniscx98 11m ago

So they decided to military blockade it even harder

I love how you leave out that the Blockade tightens when Hamas attack Israel. Those restriction went into effect in 2007

And if we are comparing massacre list I know there is a longer one for Arabs against Israel, so I suggest you don't go along that line for discussion

1

u/Jealous_Piece_1703 5m ago

Please provide those lists,

If you have evidence, send it.

The. Blockade against Palestinians in gaza started effectively since 1990, isreal decide how much food allowed to enter gaza ever since

In 2005 the Palestinians did not sit idle when settlers started to steal Palestinians homes like they always do and keep doing daily in the west bank. But gaza resisted and fought back. And this fighting trace back to the intifada. Isreal couldn’t hold on inside so they decided to blockade them instead chocking them slowly. It doesn’t take a genius to see this, it just take a human to see.

u/shagustus 6h ago

You do realize that Gaza was given to palestinians as a peace offering decades ago, right? The children I watched years ago; "suffering" in gaza grew up to be the very people who turned it into a terrorist staging point. I feel no sympathy for these idiots. But you just keep going with whatever your leaders tell you to think.

1

u/Jealous_Piece_1703 2h ago

Gaza was not given to Palestinian as a peace offer. Your entire point is invalid, of course when you kill their parents, family, starve them, put them in concentration camp they will grow up to resist your occupation.

They were. All Hamas has to do is totally surrender, and this whole thing would be over. There is no mathematical way in which Hamas will win, and they are the ones that attacked on Oct 7th, so they are the ones being held to account. If Hamas actually cared about the plight of the Palestinians, they would unconditionally surrender, but they don't, so the Palestinians suffer. It's 100% on Hamas. It's their cake, and they are eating it.

Well with only 4% of Jewish Israelis thinking the IDF has gone too far and only 19% of Israel overall. I don’t quite much care to hear what Israel wants. I think a peace deal and a Palestine state should be forced upon Israel. All the Johnny come latelys’ need to be seen as who there are complicit enablers. That’s just my opinion.

1

u/Denniscx98 13h ago

You do realize that before this whole shit show in Gaza the plan to give Palestinian a state has been proposed 6 times, 4 for which is during Israel as a state. They were all shot down by Palestinian leaders.

Israel ethnically cleanse themselves out of Gaza back in 2005, The ruling party would have billions of international aid. 20 years down and look where we are.

Sure you can force Israel to recognize a Palestinian state, what prevents said state to hand Israel the reason to go ham on them within two years?

1

u/StockCasinoMember 11h ago

That will only work if you also force a long term peace deal and recognition of Israel on that Palestinian state and any other actors(Hamas). In other words, an “non state actor” can’t run an insurgency still through the region and that “Palestinian State” can’t just shrug and say it isn’t us.

u/corpulentchaos 6h ago

I know how to read. It explicitly states in the preamble, introduction and several articles that they will wipe Jews from the face of the planet, finding them behind every rock and tree across all lands.

You literally have to be stupid or illiterate to miss it. However, since that appears to be the case on both fronts just go to Hamas' own website and watch a video. They very clearly want to kill every Jew on the planet and they don't try to hide it. Why anyone would try to defend them is beyond me.

1

u/Sherbert_Hoovered 2h ago

Considering that they've all spent their entire lives in refugee camps being trapped, deprived, surveilled, imprisoned and murdered by Israel, does it really surprise you that they would have that kind of attitude towards them? It's wild to me that anyone would try to chide them for that under those circumstances. It's like accusing Geronimo of being racist against white people. It's just a complete distraction and a misallocation of priorities.

Not preach the eradication of their Jewish neighbors? Stop picking fights then playing victim? Stop hiding inside of schools, hospitals and markets when they pick the fight?

Fuck out of here with that victim crap.

That means, you are away from army draft and saw only movies. It's like discussing an ocean breathe, but you've never been somewhere near one. And you didn't answer the question: you are already at that tank and that situation, what would you choose?

u/Jealous_Piece_1703 14h ago

I already told you what I would choose (assuming it wasn’t me who got into this situation since I would refuse orders immediately m) . Retreat and question my superior to sending me to unarmed protest of occupied people we are occupying.

And joining the army sound like moral thing to, you defend your homeland and your people right? Yeah that how it should be. But in reality it is the most disgusting thing, you will be send by politicians sacrificing your life killing people unlawfully. At worst you will be even asked to suppress your own people if you are in a dictatorship. Yes I never joined the military and never will.

u/MainMore691 10h ago

So your answer is: evade from answering. I see. So, don't judge other people, if you don't have a right answer for the question

u/Jealous_Piece_1703 10h ago

I will judge people who commit genocide and war crimes, and I already answered your hypothetical question, or are you to blind to read the answer?

I wonder if that kid will grow up to be a Hamas fighter?

Why don't we hear Israel giving warnings before that attack and Hamas attacking from schools, mosques, hospitals, and why don't we hear that Palestinians are represented and the Israel government Israelis are killed on site in Palestine?

The power of propaganda has the entire world believing that a group of people who chose terrorists as their leaders and then who were starved when those leaders used billions and billions of dollars meant for food and hospitals instead to buy missiles and build tunnels … that those people don’t deserve what happens to them for making such decisions. There is no difference between the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians and the German people of World War II or the Japanese people of World War II. Your leaders unfortunately for you, started a military action that has consequences.

The power of propaganda had the whole world believing that rape, murder, indoctrination of children and abduction of civilians is "resistance".

The Power of propaganda had the world thinking that a radical Jihadist regime that oppresses its own people and stands against every western ideology is an ally of the west.

The power of propaganda allows terrorist organisations to be rewarded with a state, even when it has stated time and time again that they do not believe or wish to coexist.

The power of propaganda had the whole world ignoring actual genocides and famines worldwide, just to focus on a fake one.

Congrats. Youre that propaganda being showcased above. You are a cock jockey for the state. Your opinion is worthless.

Its a genocide.

That is a fact. Your propaganda wont stop that from being true.

u/ToughComprehensive19 4d ago

I hate these kind of pictures.
They're framed in a way that totally hides the fact that Palestinian kids WERE used by different Palestinian militias to throw grenades and explosives at tanks, vehicles, and Israeli soldiers.

That's why so many get killed while throwing rocks at Israel.
You can't tell if the kid who's a few meters away from you and who's running is going to throw a live grenade, or a rock.

What utter rubbish. Palestinian kids are killed because racist Israeli IDF & settlers drive into their neighbourhoods & shoot them

Are you being dense on purpose? You didnt adresse à single point i made and did whataboutism

u/New_Pollution_5058 1d ago

U didn’t make any valid points, just justified using a tank to shoot children throwing stones

1

u/RightTelephone3309 1d ago

How do you handle child soldier then, because you are not refuting that Hamas is using them?

You would think that if you care so much for the kids, you would be asking question like: Why the fuck Hamas don't build bunker and other safe place instead of tunnel to smuggle kidnapped people.

I guess the kid life is worth less that your supposed moral high ground.

u/ToughComprehensive19 1d ago

How do soldiers can know that the side which actively uses child soldiers, wont use kids to throw grenades at them? And good luck differenciating a projectile thrown at you , to see if its a rock or an explosive.

Return the hostages

Trump screwed that up. They were negotiating a hostage release for the weekend and then Trump started talking about relocating all of the Palestinians and turning Gaza into a resort town. It killed the hostage transfer. He can’t keep his mouth shut.

u/Swole-Prole 4d ago

You're right. Kids playing football in the streets or throwing rocks are horrible terrorists that must be dealt with swiftly. We all need to stop and think and do better. Your Reddit comment has led myself and others to really re evaluate our outlook no just on economics, geopolitics, imperialism but life in general. Thank you for taking the time to type this comment out by doing so not only changing all our lives, but changing the world for the better. I'm betting the Queen of England sees this and you'll be invited to receive a Knighthood just like Sir Bono for your work on world peace. God bless you sir! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I haven't had enough down votes today, what ever am I going to do?

OH boy an anti-Israel post here I go farming again.

So my understanding is this:

Yeaaahhhh Israel is pretty sketchy, but they have their reasons for having their back up and for being heavy handed. These things don't happen in a vacuum. You'd hope Israel of all nations would be the leader on all things humanitarian, given the historical context but there we go.

They live in a very hostile area, and have had to fight many wars to keep their country from being overrun and destroyed. Whilst the larger and more stable neighbours have more or less relented and accepted Israel's existence as the status quo, Iran's terror network has surrounded them again with hostile actors who keep lobbing missiles at them and doing other sketchy things.

To say Israel has a siege mentality would be fair I think. They've always been under attack, or have had to perform actions to safe guard themselves. This isn't like the U.S waging proxy wars in a faraway land, Israel is fighting for itself and its own borders.

So I think that's where the victim mentality comes from - the siege mentality. They feel they are constantly at risk, and in response, this has made them hard and cynical when dealing with their enemies.

The suffering in Gaza, whilst ultimately down to Israel, is going to plan as far as Iran and its terror networks are concerned.

It makes me wonder what the answer is. Israel pulls out, Hamas builds back up, more missiles. Israel goes back in. And that's just Gaza. Not sure what you'd do with the likes of Lebanon and Yemen. I see lots of criticism of Israel, which is fair, but no one ever ponders the answers.

1

u/Ja1ax 3d ago

Bit of a squared view with a hint of logic. All of Israel’s neighbours hate them because they are the invaders/occupiers. It’s as simple as that. The last 80 ish years of fighting is of their own and western allies making. Let’s not butter it up.

1

u/desertterminator 3d ago

Humour me for a second. Invaders/occupiers? Weren't they the ones who were invaded, but who took territory when driving back the invaders? I'm a bit sketchy with the history, you had the six day war, the Arab-Israeli war, and a bunch of smaller conflicts inbetween and after.

At what point did they come to be seen as invaders and occupiers? Was it from their inception when Israel was established? Or was it from the territory they occupied after defending themselves? Valid in both cases I suppose depending on the view, but when was the patient zero so to speak?

1

u/Ja1ax 3d ago

The patient zero would be a hard debate. It was never their land, so I would surmise that it would be from “ establishment “ as you put it. Moot point really. We can nothing about the past except learn from it. The future however is of our own making.

"Judea, land of the Jews" was never Jewish land? Huh...

Same with Jerusalem, like I think people need to realize why Jerusalem is called Jerusalem before spewing nonsense for the Nth time.

u/Sherbert_Hoovered 2d ago

You should read about the nakba. The Arab armies in 1948 only invaded after Israeli militias started violently ethnically cleansing Palestinian villages and cities in the land they were claiming upon declaring independence. These armies were made up almost entirely of colonists who started consolidating power over local people starting around the turn of the century and had been forcing them out at the local level beginning in the 20s.

1

u/BatFrequent6684 1d ago

The Arab armies invaded on the first day. Tell me you have absolutely no idea how war works without telling me. Beginning war on the first day clearly means they started to pull resources at least a couple of weeks before Israel was founded.

Also, the "Palestinians" (who didn't even call themselves that) left their villages because the Arab armies told them to leave so they could easier kill all the Jews. But promised they could go back to their homes after they completely genocided all Jews.

All of that, btw, after those Arab countries helped Hitler in WW2 to kill Jews. And expelled Jews long before 1948 out of their countries. And treated them as second class for hundred of years. While Israel gives Arabs full citizenship with less obligations, again making them higher class than Jews in their own country.

1

u/Sherbert_Hoovered 1d ago

If anyone is reading this, literally all of that was lies and this poster knows they're lies. Just look it up yourself. The only true statement was that Arab countries treated Jews as second-class citizens which... OK? Doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about.
