@SalmonTiger7589@ripswithrage one band isn’t going to solve how israel is an apartheid state. they could bring focus on the issue but they are not going to save us
@SalmonTiger7589@ripswithrage exactly. also they have never played a show in israel for any tour and to me that means more than a live concert movie viewing.
The BBC found evidence Israeli forces deliberately sniped Palestinian children — over 60% shot in the head or chest.
Israel has killed about 21,000 children in two years, with a spike even before October 7.
I grew up as a Palestinian Christian in Palestine. I was beaten dozens of times by the Israeli military simply for being Palestinian, and on one occasion I was arrested for attempting to go to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Israel prevented me from seeing my family except twice over the last 15 years because I lived in Ramallah while they were in Gaza. Moreover, Israel killed my father and my sister in Gaza.
So when I see Netanyahu using “Christian rights” to whitewash Israel’s crimes, it is insulting and deeply offensive.
it did not begin on October 7. Ghassan Kanafani, one of Palestine's greatest writers, assassinated by Zionists at age 36 because his brilliance was a threat to them, wrote the short story "Letter from Gaza" in 1956. Listen to it. They have killed, burned alive and maimed Palestinian children in Gaza long before October 7.
I think the biggest indicator of the fact that this wasn't a "conflict" or a "war" or literally anything you can "both sides" is: no part of Israel looks like this
