** Israel, ** Hamas, ** Judaism, ** Islam, and **** Trump.. you're all arguing over land mentioned in a 2000 year old tourist information booklet, which was objectively all lies... and all it does is sustain the needless death and suffering of kids with no stake and no future, kids that if they'd attended the same class, in the same country, wouldn't hate each other - but because of religion, they do hate each other, because their parents are ****ing morons, because believers are ****ing morons.
**** all of you bastards.
You're right, but with Hamas specifically I think we start to see exactly why they were so ridiculously militant about opposing Israel.
They are not good guys, but I think there's a certain amount of leeway given when you're fighting an occupying force. This applies to all the Palestinian resistance organisations, and I sort of wonder how much faster the occupation and genocide would have progressed if there had been no resistance at all. Would the Israelis just have killed them all in the Nakba and called it a day?
Keep in mind that what Palestinians are fighting for is not religion, they're fighting for their home. Israel is doing what they are nominally because of religion, although really its just window dressing for bog standard greed and racism.
And remember, Palestine was going to be a single state with a mixed population until the US stuck their two cents in (at the behest of the Zionist factions). The US is the major cause of there ever being two states in the first place, although we should probably also not ignore that the reason that they were in a position to do so was colonialism.
Come and ****ing get me, Mossad. I could give two tugs of a dead dingo's donger, you worthless cowards.
This is the other thing worth considering. Genocide was pretty much always the plan for Israel.
Pre-1948, Muslims and Jews had been living together in Palestine in about as much peace as anywhere else in the world, as far as I'm aware. But Jews weren't a majority, and that was (somewhat understandably) scary to the Zionists in the direct aftermath of The Holocaust. But that doesn't justify wiping out another people to make a home for yourselves, especially when the US probably would have let them have a Jewish state if they wanted. They already have Utah.
I wonder if there's a name for this sort of thing and whether that thing is generally considered a crime or not?
As with many things, it's only a crime if you get caught. Or in this case, if there's someone to hold you to account.
As long as Israel keeps hiding behind the skirts of the US, and the US keeps letting them, there's functionally not that much anyone can do. The rest of the world could embargo the US I suppose, but Trump is doing that all by himself.
