i asked my father once why he supported Israel and he told me a story about how during WW2 nazi tanks rolled on Israel and they all rusted and broke down. he was very adamant that I was wrong when I told him that Israel did not exist during WW2.

That, and Syria's Nazi tanks did not all rust and break down.

I'd always been told or just assumed that I/P was something that's been going on for centuries and neither side knows or cares why they're fighting. And that Palestine was a bunch of separatists trying to make an independent country. But in college I took a course about the region's importance in various religions that went through the history since ancient times, and it blew my mind.

In my eyes the only reasons for why people aren't strongly behind Palestine are a)lobbying, b)extremely nutso religious, c)complete ignorance of the situation. It's that cut and dry to me.

I guess d)racist is always an option, too. But point being, the only reason an otherwise good person wouldn't support palestine is that they know nothing about it.

Yeah, I was also told that the Palestinians were just modern-day descendants of Philistines and Amalekites and other assorted baddies from the Old Testament who have been trying to steal rightful Jewish land and kill Jews for millennia.

It blew my mind when I learned that the Jews and Muslims got along relatively well for centuries until European Jews began settling the region in the late 19th century.

there's a similar narrative about the Balkans, turns out whoops the Christians and Muslims and various ethnic groups lived together just fine for a very long time and the conflict in the 90s was intentionally stirred up by the West to clamp down on any chance of Yugoslavia being anything but a thrall

Palestine has lost my support.

I was watching CNN yesterday, and I was stunned. Images of civilians killed, homes occupied by armed militants, people fleeing in terror, with the anchor informing me that nothing like this has ever happened before in the conflict - I was horrified.

With the barbaric events of the past few days, i think Palestine has finally doomed its cause by alienating itself from reasonable progressives like me. It will soon find it has lost all its very real and meaningful support from other progressives in western countries, too.

It’s true, I may have never done anything tangible to stop my government from giving billions of dollars of weapons to israel - but sometimes I would shake my head when I saw a picture of a settler-colonial lynch mob killing Palestinians. Sometimes I would even hesitantly tweet “this is wrong” after watching an IDF sniper using kids as target practice.

But that ends today.

I am so horrified by today’s unprecedented events that even I, a deeply progressive person who definitely actually supported Palestine, am now willing to give Itamar Ben Gvir as many weapons as he needs to do what he wants with those degenerate Palestinian subhumans.

I’m sorry, but as an anti-war leftist I can’t support the murder of civilians, the expulsion of scared families from their homes, the taking of political prisoners, or the armed invasion of sovereign territory, which is why I will be switching my full-throated support to the IDF. I was talking with my fellow leftists on r/worldnews, and we all agreed (as people previously concerned with Palestinian rights) the only thing left to do is stand back and solemnly nod in approval as Israel tries to glass them. Hundreds of innocents have died, after all - clearly the ethnic cleansing of a city of two million people is the only proportional response left.

Prior to this, NPR-listening Elizabeth Warren voters like myself were coming around to the idea that Palestinians were also human beings, not just Arabs. But now? Forget about it. And without the valuable support of people like me, I just don’t see a future for Palestine.

The Palestinians messed up, big time.

how do you do, fellow leftists

So I know this isn't really the case based on the results we see in the history books, but isn't the whole point of the caucuses that you can see who wins just by being there and observing, not waiting for them to report results?

I don't know how it works next year except I heard they're taking written & mail-in ballots but yeah, what you said makes sense, unlike the dnc rules.

Israeli civilians getting killed sucks a lot but why does the west stay silent about the deaths of Palestinians? The way the Israel Palestine conflict is covered in the west, only Israelis have any humanity. When Palestinian women and children are killed, western media acts like they have it coming.
