The Israelis are publicly admitting to committing war crimes and stating genocidal intent. And the US and EU are repeatedly endorsing Israel's “right” to do this, The US has even sent them more weapons to commit these heinous acts.
@briansellsTO @duck1027472@KristinRaworth They have been occupied and kept in an outdoor prison their whole lives but that's okay and people should just accept that fate.
@KristinRaworth If you can't call out that 75 years of occupation, apartheid, and genocide is the problem then I am not sure what to say. Non white people always inherently bad/violence,white/Israelis never are and never have to justify their continued violence with bombs, tanks and a full army.
@KristinRaworth Did we light it up for the 1000s of Palestinians killed during bombings, raids of refugee camps, settler violence, raids of Mosques or 75+ years of apartheid/occupation?
Or is only one group of people's lives unfathomable to ignore?
Even during the deadliest day for Israelis in decades, more than 3x as many Palestinians were massacred by the Israeli state. Not a word about it in the US press or the litany of statements talking about the sanctity of human life.
I've just been watching the appallingly one-sided @BBCNews coverage of the situation in Palestine. So, here's a few notes to the corporate media.
1. Israel is in breach of international law
2. Palestinians are fighting to liberate their homeland from 75 years of Israeli oppression and terrorism
3. The Israel military and settlers are the "militants" NOT the Palestinian freedom fighters
4. Armed struggle is legitimate under international law
5. Israel has been abducting Palestinians for many years. Over 1,000 Palestinians are currently being held in 'administrative detention' in Israeli dungeons.
@Lowkey0nline@maxfawcett you good with this? You woke up and immediately condemned Palestinians for fighting for freedom. It's nothing better than both siding apartheid, genocide and occupation and you are supposed to a progressive voice.
Today’s Hamas operation from Gaza surprised Israel, but it should be no surprise that Palestinians refuse to accept the fate to which Israel seeks to consign them. The fighters of Gaza and West Bank see a choice between living on their knees or dying on their feet 🧵1/7
@Robby_Saav@maxfawcett Except people like @maxfawcett only comment when it's Hamas, silence day after day about Israel. None of these leaders ever acknowledge that the occupation and genocide of 2 million Palestinians is the root cause of the violence.Hamas doesn't exist if there is no occupation.
@Robby_Saav@maxfawcett Imagine if throughout history it was the people being colonized, brutalized, and ethnically cleansed job to do things the "right way"...but sure it's just Hamas that's the problem
@Robby_Saav@maxfawcett So do you comment on Israel's daily bombings, cutting off food, water and medicine and power? Do you comment on them bombing and raiding Mosque's during Ramadan? So it's the responsibility of the people being occupied to behave properly and be constructive?
@Robby_Saav@maxfawcett Sure but why is one side occupying another and commiting genocide for generations? Why does one side bomb the other with billion $ weapons, jets and tanks and cut of their food, water and electricity daily. This is all factual. The other side should just sit their and take it?
