    I don’t understand how public opinion isn’t nearly universally against Israel’s horrors at this point.

      A lot of people see it as justified. They view arabs as barbarians and israelis as civilized.

      They don’t want to think about how Western oppression is a direct cause for the state of affairs in the middle east.

    If I was to take Israelis seriously I would end up concluding that they’re generally very stupid, because if they’d granted Palestinians citizenship and just lived alongside them like modern day South Africa has become, all their problems disappear overnight; of course in reality it’s an extremely racist settler colonial nation and they have no desire to live alongside the people of the land they’ve invaded. I also daresay the Arab governments that are working with them are also very shortsighted; if they’d studied American history they would’ve seen that even in the US there were native American settlements who colluded with the settlers to bring down other native American (towns?), and even tried dressing like the settlers and converting to Christianity, only for the settlers to decide they wanted the land the ‘Americanized’ native Americans were living on and then killed them too (who now didn’t have the neighboring native Americans to help them…cause they helped massacre them). The map of greater Israel literally includes a large chunk of Saudi Arabia, one of their more important/strongest allies in the region.

    Wish people would start calling them “invaders” instead of “settlers” since that’s what they are…

      To be fair, that’s pretty much always been what settlers are. In very few circumstances did settlers actually settled a new land, the majority of the time “settlers” invaded and stole native land.

      But yeah, call this shit what it is.

    You know, it’s barely been 80 years since Hitler tried to wipe the Jews off the planet, and here we are today where the Jews are themselves working to wipe another ethnic culture off the planet. It’s really sad that they have zero regard for human life, and it’s even more sad that Americans just send them more bombs carte blanche to help them along the way.

    This timeline sucks.

      It’s really important that you use the right vocabulary. Please don’t say Jews when you mean to say Zionists. It makes your statements false and racist.

    The guy is carrying his child in the first photos we see of them invading more land, but sure, it’s the Palestinians always using children as shields. Day 1 and he’s got his kid front and center.

    October 7th classic. Knowingly bring your children illegally into land you stole, piss yourself crying when there are casualties to 1 (one) child.

    And they talk about human shields…
