    The internet is not American

    Any government is capable of fascism and capable of genocide. If that’s too complicated for you, go sit at the kids ta-… Don’t talk to my kids go sit outside.

      There’s an explicitly fascist and genocidal player in this conflict. And spoiler alert, it isn’t the Israelis.

      I think you might want to check on the people who had an election on 25 January 2006, seized power after that and refused any further elections. Explicitly run a Muslim ethno-state and terrorist tactics, and wish to kill the Jews from “River to the Sea”.

        It isn’t Israelis. It’s Israel, though, as a country. An apartheid country.

        Hey ding dong, not every Palestinian is a member of Hamas and the average age of Palestinians is 19. The average Palestinian did not vote in 2006.

        Yet Israel cut the power, food, and aid for the entire nation because of terrorists that live among them. Then they proceeded to murder over 20,000 civilians (almost certainly an undercount). And in their bloodlust, they managed to execute 3 people waving a white flag with their shirts off… Hostages.

        You want to talk about how terrible Hamas is when the IDF is indiscriminately killing everyone they find? Dropping bombs in the most population dense regions of the world?

        The world isn’t black and white, there can be two terrible actors. And right now, the IDF has already killed 20x the number of people killed by Hamas on Oct 7. With no signs of wanting to stop.

        And for someone that wants to “school” people on history, perhaps take the 5 seconds to Google what “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” means. Hint, it’s not “kill all the Jews in Israel”.
