I will be the first to say I did not have nearly the appreciation for the conditions that the Palestinians have lived in for the last years until this conflict gave me a reason to read and learn a bit more - it's pretty tough to see this and you can definitely see how this kind of world they live in gives rise to extremists because it probably feels pretty "we're on a one way ticket to nothing, so what have we got to lose?"
Which is of course, a terrible recipe for desperate, poorly thought out actions. It's awful, and 100% unacceptable for Hamas to murder innocent Israeli civillians and they are rightly condemned for it. But I also feel strongly that this is being used as a launchpad for the Israelis to take equally or more despicable actions that they've "wanted" to do for years, and this provides them cover to do. And that is what we all need to stand up against.
-Mark | This is 100% correct. Make no mistake, the current Israeli government is easily the most radical government they've had in place in quite a long time now. They have been waiting for this opportunity to level Gaza, and this is the perfect excuse for it.
You have to also listen to the way these Israeli officials describe Palestinians as " animals", I very much pay attention to the words used by these people. It's all very coded in a meticulous way.
Going back to the topic of land, what's so fascinating about Israel is that its government is primarily run and occupied by Ashkenazi Jews. These people aren't even Semites like the Palestinians, or "true" Israelites from that very region. Israelis and Palestinians are both Semitic people, they are essentially cousins to each other. One would wonder if peace would be better achieved if such radicals weren't running their country.
Just take a look at the current cabinet, it is a sea of European-faced Jews, they are the people that run the country, and that is a fact. If you look at it through that lens it becomes all the more clear the genocidal tendencies these people carry. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/...-using-on-gaza
Israel is a major arms dealer and has a history of "testing" its newfound developed weaponry on the Palestinians before selling them on the world market. https://pulitzercenter.org/stories/c...-arms-industry https://truthout.org/audio/israels-t...rted-globally/
If you read about this stuff you truly see the direct parallels between how the Ashkenazi were treated by the German Nazis (even down to the experimentation of weapons) to how these same Ashkenazi treat the Palestinians.
It's dark stuff. |
