Are you accusing Israel of taking out the PLO in Gaza? Because that was literally Hamas who pushed PLO officials off buildings in a hostile takeover. Also, Hamas won elections in Gaza, and even though they haven’t held them in many years, recent reports indicate around 70% of Gaza supports Hamas. And what is this “genocide” of thousands of Palestinians you are referring to? Would genuinely like to know.
That’s actually an insane take. Hamas targeted Israeli CIVILIANS on October 7. Not even soldiers. They took CIVILIAN hostages. You can’t preach for the IDF to try to discriminate between Hamas and civilians (which it does, by the way) and then say it’s okay for Hamas to murder, rape and torture Israeli civilians. Can’t have it both ways, my friend.
Israel is an apartheid state because Palestinians are either completely barred from entering Israel, or are prescribed second class citizenship. Ethnic cleansing: wiping out entire Palestinian cities with the purpose of repopulating them with Israeli settlers. As Trump Gaza shows very blatantly, America and Israel are trying to repopulate rubble with settlers
The fact that if Israel wanted a genocide, Gaza would have been a parking lot on October 8. They have more than enough resources for that. And if you want to make the argument they were waiting for the hostages to get back, they’re all back now. And Gaza is still not a parking lot. The IDF drops leaflets on buildings before they’re bombed telling civilians to evacuate. Hamas then tells them to stay because they want the West to scream “genocide” so they get more donations.
But “Palestine” is its own sovereign territory with its own government. What you said is half true, Palestinians are not allowed to enter Israel if they don’t recognize Israel as a state. If they do, they are welcome to come work, and even become an Israeli citizen if they so choose. Get out of your echo chamber and actually read up on it. Your ethnic cleansing claim is blatantly false. Israel has stated time and again it has no intent of repopulating Gaza with Israelis.
Are you deluded? Hamas hides all of their terrorists and terrorist infrastructure under and in civilian buildings. There are literally decades of reports to back this up. And what I meant is that if Israel wanted to “genocide” Gaza, there would be nothing, literally not a single Palestinian, left there. That’s what genocide means, after all.
The West Bank is currently being settled by barbaric Israeli settlers that burn, shoot, and mob the indigenous population of the area. Talking about echo chambers while spouting the most corporate, U.S. politicians talking points as to why genocide is actually justifiable is just rich.
You are now completely changing the topic from Gaza to the West Bank (two completely different governments, btw). Fair to say you can’t counter what I said? As for the West Bank, I condemn the settlers who are violent towards the Palestinians there. But saying that’s a genocide or ethnic cleansing is an extreme stretch when the number of those violent settlers is in the hundreds, whereas there are attempted terrorist attacks paid for by the PLO (look up the West Bank Martyrs Fund)
Honey, it’s the attempted erasure of a people, not the erasure. The reason there are still Jews is because Germany was fighting a World War, and didn’t have the resources to completely annihilate the Jews (additionally, that task was impossible since there were Jews in the Middle East, Africa, other parts of Europe and North America). What I’ve said is that Israel has the resources to commit a genocide if they truly wanted to, which they don’t.
You’re in no position to individually determine that, and that’s why you’re a genocide sympathizer. (Especially since multiple independent organizations have already identified intent in various areas, through the destruction of healthcare infrastructure, intentional creation of famine, destruction of water and power infrastructure, systematic targeting of mutual aid networks bringing resources to Palestinians, etc etc etc) You’re a sympathizer, just like the nazi civilians were
Israel has, since the war started, stated three goals for the war. 1 was the return of all Israeli hostages (whether dead or alive), which was achieved just a few days ago. 2 is the destruction of Hamas. 3 is the establishment of a new Palestinian-led government in Gaza, which will be peaceful, not run by terrorists, and improve the lives of both Palestinians and Israelis to avoid any further conflict down the line. That’s all.
There literally hasn’t been? You’re just so caught up in your echo chamber you fail to even entertain the other side. I’ve grappled with the Nakba. I understand that many unfortunately lost their homes. I also know that Ben Gurion gave each village an option: lay down your weapons, accept Israel as a valid state, and you can stay in your land and enjoy the full rights of Israeli citizenship. Look up Beit Safafa in Jerusalem, they accepted and most became citizens.
