It’s time for Israel to stop existing.These were far-right Israeli extremists and far-right members of Parliament. Thousands of far-right extremist Americans supported and participated in an insurrection attempt because their cult leader lost. Far right members of Congress supported it too. Do you see calls to eliminate the U.S. because of the actions of one political faction?
A UN Inquiry accused Israel of committing genocide. A UN Inquiry does not represent the official stance or opinion of the United Nations. Has Israel committed war crimes? Absolutely. Have they committed genocide/apartheid? No. Israel is engaged in a war with Hamas, who attacked the country, killed and kidnapped 1300+ people. And I am aware this did not start on 10/7, it has been going on for at least 100 years. Israel is not an apartheid state because 25% of the population is Arab and enjoy…
no they don’t really, israel has a parliamentary system and bibi in 2022 just barely managed to form a coalition by inviting a couple of tiny extremist parties into his coalition— those parties had like one seat each and had never been in gov before. that gave him a razor thin majority but also meant that the tiny parties had crazy power bc any time Bibi did something they didn’t like they’d threaten to drop out of his coalition and collapse his government until he stopped. people were furious
You’re comparing two completely different things, that is a terrible analogy. One of the biggest indicators of a non-apartheid state is the ability for people of several backgrounds and nationalities to freely participate in society, which accurately describes Israel. Slavery definitely existed and its victims\perpetrators are not secluded to one group of people. Some Hispanics and LGBTQ+ individuals voted for Trump, some Jews voted for Hitler
not really. israel’s opposition leaders currently oppose establishing a Palestinian state bc they think it would just give Hamas a ton of power. but the opposition includes multiple powerful Arab (i say Arab not Palestinian bc they don’t all identify as Palestinian) parties who are VERY pro-Palestinian statehood
it is war crimes, i am upset about it, i would still be upset about it if it was reversed. idk if it’s specifically genocide bc genocide is a very difficult thing to prove esp in a situation where there’s also legitimate reasons for war and i dont think we’ll know definitively for a long time what it was. but it was horrific and wrong and israeli leaders and hamas leaders should be held accountable for the massive human rights violations they committed against palestinians
Yes, I am aware that thousands of people have died in a conflict that has been going on for a century. Do you also understand that Palestinians have attacked Israelis to advance their priorities, even through messages such as aircraft hijackings, suicide bombings, etc.? I’m just trying to make sure that both of us can find some nuance here and not see everything as Black and White.
And yet only Hamas is being held accountable or liable by Zionists and the vast majority of the western world/governments. If what is being done to Palestinians were being done to Jews in Germany or any nation for that matter you (generalized) would be Quick to call it a genocide but why when it’s Palestinians ( a group Israel has spent decades and countless amount of money dehumanizing) it’s suddenly not genocide, or it’s “well hmmm I don’t really know it’s complicated”. That’s an excuse.
idk why people in one breath will say only hamas is being held accountable in the west and then in the other say israel is internationally isolated and hated. nations are notoriously terrible at forcing each other to do anything but israel gets plenty of blame (as it should). hamas’ human rights violations against israelis are often discussed in the west (and fairly often justified) but its human rights violations against Palestinians are ignored
You fight an invading force. Israelis invaded their homes and murdered their children. They still are. Look at the settlements in the West Bank. It’s modern day colonialism. Native Americans fought American settlers, France fought invading Germans, do you know what the French resistance did? Yet they aren’t demonized like native Americans or Palestinians.
Arabs had the opportunity for peace in 1947 by accepting a UN Partition Plan, basically splitting the land in half. Jews accepted it, Arabs rejected it, declared war and lost. For decades they have continued launching rockets into Israel and pushing for their demands through terrorist acts
