It’s pretty demoralizing to see how many people are cheering on the mass murder of Palestinians with glee. I don’t even understand where the hatred of this level of an oppressed people comes from.

When I was a kid, any news I saw about I/P always made it seem like the Israel and Palestine were military equivalents, that the death tolls were about the same, the amount of armament the same, with Arab aid over-emphasized. Combined with the public emphasis on Jewish victimhood without separating it from Zionism, and it's easy to believe Israel is being oppressed by the entire region as opposing to viewing it as a colonial power bullying a people who have no real way to defend themselves. But 2015 cured me of a lot of that, and cured a lot of people of that. The current wave of Zionism can best be summed up in left-punching, general embarrassment over losing to the Taliban, and the subconscious fear of a lot of people that there's a waning of resources, and, well, someone needs to bite the bullet and it's not going to be me and my allies. Very freakish hours now in this country.

There's also the religious aspect, but I think that's overemphasized by some. Religiosity has shrunk in the West, and what of it that's left usually justifies their goals through secular reasoning. Your average American Right-Wing Christian is going to talk less about the mandate of God and more in realpolitick "Israel is the last bastion of democracy" poo poo.

A running theme towards the end of apartheid was the whites actually in charge of South Africa, who knew the party was over, having to pretty regularly suppress the absolutely psychopath neo-nazi afrikaners because if they didn't it would've meant a civil war nobody would have won

one thing i remember reading was that on their way out of the country some south african whites filled elevator shafts of buildings with concrete so that they would be unusable. not sure about the truth of that thinking through the logistics and about the curing time of concrete but it seems hosed up

Not to be confused with meat.
I always get weirded out whenever people online are attacking the IOF and some guy comes in and reminds everyone that "yeah Israel is bad and all that but they're just dumb teen conscripts, they're not all inherently bad people" because it literally does not matter. Who cares how pure or impure their loving souls are, soldiers are undeniably a legitimate military target and even you agree that they're fighting on the wrong side. If there's any kind of sympathy to be had for them (at the very least, the ones who haven't personally shot Palestinian civilians) it's in a "this situation just sucks" kind of way. Making your citizens complicit in genocide fresh out of high school under the threat of prison time is horrible and just another entry in the long list of the Israeli regime's crimes. You can argue all you want about whether the average soldier is going to hell, heaven or purgatory when they die, it has no bearing on the ethics of Hamas' actions and if any entity in the world deserves any shred of moral blame for the death of Israel's youth on the battlefield, it's the Israeli state itself. DTI now and forever.

their nationalistic impulses have been repressed because democrats are in power ("the west has fallen"), but it's not like their thirst for power and conquest have gone away, so israel has become a sink for them to dump that complicated mixture of frustration, boredom and power hunger, and their expression might be even more mendacious and dishonest because they're not israeli.
