theres also a ton of people with pro BLM and LGTBQ in their profiles that defend the actions of the IDF, and dont consider palestinians as people, so it really isnt a good indicator of being "good" imo

i always find it weird that the media, in the west at least, always frames the people fighting against occupation forces and brutal oppression as terrorists and cowards

like during the invasion of iraq somehow the people fighting against the invaders (amerca) somehow became the bad guys, the insurgents, the "cowards". not talking about isis here fyi

whenever i saw news coverage of the invasion id would always think about if it happened here, where a vastly more powerful country invaded us, we'd be calling the people fighting back patriots and poo poo

in short our media is incredibly depraved and garbage

We spend billions of dollars every year to have state of the art militaries, so you're a "coward" if you don't line up in a field to get obliterated fair & square. What we really resent is that resistance and liberation movements won't make it easy for imperialists. Colonizers ultimately respect the rebellions where their leaders were foolish enough to do conventional instead of asymmetric warfare, like when the Mahdi in Sudan got tens of thousands of his followers mowed down by British repeating rifles & machineguns at Omdurman. One of the Mahadists was even wearing chain mail. How precious.

fun little paragraph from a recent article about the latest attacks

quote:

Ramzy Salah, a little further afield in the same area, has also had his house, which he shared with five brothers and their families, destroyed by an Israeli attack.

- First we got a "roof knock" rocket from a drone, but we did not hear it. Luckily a neighbor saw it and called us, so we got out. Seven minutes later a missile arrived that destroyed our house.

The 43-year-old has no idea how to rebuild the house. He works for the Hamas-led government, but his salary is barely enough for food.

There is an element of it, but it's pretty small. People have such a crappy understanding of American settlement they're incapable of drawing any parallels and most people don't even think of that as having been a thing that occurred usually.

Honestly pretty credible. if you accept Israel is doing evil, then the US did evil and they have to accept that; it's far easier to make excuses than to examine your own culpability.

American Israel supporters are either evangelic psychos, or war of civilization dead enders. If you even tried explaining the concept of a settler state to them, their eyes would glaze over.

Interesting, and how do people here feel about there being a statute of limitations on settlers? I often find that Canadian leftists say some performative bullshit like "If indigenous people wanted me to to leave, I'd pack my poo poo back to Europe", which isn't what Indigenous activists mean by decolonization. In the same way, Israelis within the 48 borders have the right to stay, no?

Edit: I hope this isn't construed as a defense of the IDF and Israeli settlements which are far right affronts to humanity.

I hear people in the West Bank even today say they'd be fine with Jewish immigrants, but the issue with settlers is that they steal land and houses. Obviously they don't speak for some united Palestinian voice, but that sentiment is there. I don't know any group in Palestine that explicitly calls for the expulsion of Jewish Israelis. There is the implication that a lot of the most extreme settlers and Zionists would probably rather move to the US or die than accept one person, one vote in Palestine.

Yeah, that's my sentiment too. My point was that well meaning but idiotic blowhards say dumb poo poo about deporting settlers in Israel as well as Canada, the US, Australia etc.

The concept of Zionism is also hilariously ironic when you do a deep dive into the core values and thinking.

For the strategy we decided that the best ideal situation is creating a religiously and ethnically homogenous state after doing a land grab invasion!

The above also matches the glorious history of Israelite nation which was all above invading a promised land and purging people which didn't make the
ethnic/religious standards..

I what other historically failed regimes had similar ideas to create a "utopian" state with religious and ethnically "Pure" homogeneity as the ideals?

To be honest, the Exodus narrative is probably fictional. The Hebrews were probably one of the many Canaanite groups in the area who gradually became monotheistic. Curre evidence even suggests that the United Kingdom of Israel never existed.
