The biggest plot hole in the claim "civilians are dying in Gaza because Hamas uses human shields" is the giant mountain of evidence that civilians are dying in Gaza because Israel deliberately targets civilians.
Zionists killed a 6 year old Palestinian kid in the suburbs of Chicago. 3 Arab Americans wearing keffiyehs were shot in Boston & are now wheelchair bound for life. Now, we will observe how they assign different values to human lives & apply the label of terrorism selectively
Only Israelis can say something like "every baby in Gaza should be butchered mercilessly" and immediately follow with "the difference between us and them, is that we are full of love and they are full of hate".
So let me get this straight: nothing Israel did to Gaza justified October 7, but also October 7 justifies everything Israel has been doing in Gaza, but also nothing Israel has been doing in Gaza since October 7 justifies any violence toward Israel.
Do I have that right?
Palestinians are sharing real photos of their children being blown apart by Israel, while zionists are using poorly faked AI slop to accuse them of being the dishonest ones.
I’m more concerned about paramilitary right wing groups being hired illegally by the federal government to dress up and cosplay as ICE agents than I am of made up phantom South American gangs that don’t exist
UCLA just sent riot police to beat up students who were screening a movie about how schools like UCLA sent riot police to beat up students supporting Palestine, on the one-year anniversary of UCLA calling riot police to beat up students supporting Palestine.
Calling the Gaza genocide a "war" is like seeing a man beating a toddler to death and calling it a "fight".
So much evil hides behind calling this thing a war. If you accept that it's a war then you have to take seriously arguments like "It's a war, civilians die in war," or "Hamas shouldn't have started a war they can't win." If it's a war then it has two sides who share comparable levels of responsibility for any bad things that happen during that time.
But it's not a war, it's a naked ethnic cleansing operation being carried out by a highly sophisticated military with the backing of the most powerful empire that has ever existed. It's a globe-spanning power structure openly purging a Palestinian territory of Palestinian life using a full siege and the systematic destruction of all healthcare and civilian infrastructure, being resisted by a few thousand guys with homemade rockets and dwindling supplies. That's not a "war". It's not even a "conflict". It's a slaughter. It's a holocaust.
If the Gaza holocaust is a "war", then shooting fish in a barrel is "hunting". Beating up a quadriplegic is a "street brawl". A SWAT team shooting an unarmed civilian is a "gun fight". No conflicts are perfectly equal, but past a certain level of one-sidedness the language of conflict becomes absurd. The daily massacres we are seeing in Gaza are far beyond that point.
They are raining military explosives on top of a giant concentration camp packed full of children while deliberately starving the entire civilian population to death. They have complete control over the enclave, and they are using that control to eradicate the presence of Palestinians in Gaza. That is not war. That is genocide.
