people who aren’t pissed are lacking something basic for humanity
I’m sitting this one out because our (the US) involvement simply makes the matter worse for everyone.
One side uses ruthless tactics and oppression to keep populations in line. The use of the word “settler” bothers me in this context. Settler conjures images of someone moving to the wildness and building a house to do productive stuff. These settlers evict existing people from their homes then move into those homes.
The other side uses rockets to terrorize, ...........
Hundred percent agree with her. 1/200th of the gaza population is dead. How can anyone justify that?Holy shit the fire! Bless that woman.
It’s different, building housing next to someone’s house is a whole lot different than evicting someone and taking their house.I mean, just reading the two comparisons there....your wistful memory of colonial days about those "wilderness settlers" from fairy tales are like, well, the same as what the West Bank settlers are doing. Today. It's the exact same thing, government sanctioned, "cultural and economic expansion into occupied, native lands against all previous treaties but with the one true power that always gives justification for breaking man's laws on earth: the law of the One True Lord. Heaven forfend the heathens that try to use the power of your state and their mysticism against your One Lord.".
It has. always. been. that.
So like, don't bother being confused about that; just wonder why you never made the connection by now.
But that is exactly what the 'settlers' are doing, evicting Palestinians from houses and land that have been in their family for generations, this has been happening in the West Bank and especially east Jerusalem for a while now .

Exactly it's why the West Bank looks this way in the far right image.But that is exactly what the 'settlers' are doing, evicting Palestinians from houses and land that have been in their family for generations, this has been happening in the West Bank and especially east Jerusalem for a while now .

my apologies, you are correct, i misread thatAnd that is exactly my point that would have been noticed if you read earlier
Claire Daley and Mick Wallace are the two MEP that are vehemently anti-war, you most likely would not like her speeches about the ongoing Ukraine/Russia war but she stands by her anti-war stances.Holy shit the fire! Bless that woman.
That is X, I want to see mainstream news pick that up. X is to easily faked / spoofed.IDF shows evidence that Al-Rantisi Hospital has Hamas tunnels, has munitions inside of it, and appears to have held Israeli hostages in its basement.
Here is the 6 minute video:
Note that his English sucks, but IMO the pictures speak for themselves. People can always claim that this was forged or faked or whatever, but the Hamas apologists cannot be appeased no matter what.
It is an official video by the IDF spokesperson.That is X, I want to see mainstream news pick that up. X is to easily faked / spoofed.
But yea, that looks damning. If it is real we will see Israeli mainstream news pick it up, along with western outlets soon enough.
This is one rare time I agree with you .I'd say IDF propaganda videos are about as reliable as Trump speaking.
This is one rare time I agree with you .
Well I agree that I'm a asshole and you certainly are.You've actually liked a decent amount of my posts in the past, and your views often coincide with mine quite well. I'm just a bit of a prick when we don't agree.
That's nice.It is an official video by the IDF spokesperson.
