Comment on Meta deletes Al Jazeera presenter’s profile after show criticising Israel

  the many nations that have tried to unprovoked invade Israel

  If we go far back in the history of the land… that list goes all the way to the paleolithic, and includes Israel itself. Some call it the “promised land”, “holy land”, and stuff like that, but in practice it looks more like the “cursed land”.

    If we go less far back, you’ll find the point where the Roman’s conquered the lands, kicked out all the Jews and renamed it to Palestina to spite them.

      “Syria Palaestina”, for extra spite.

      If we go back, Israelites were going around offering cities to either join them or be exterminated… if we go forward, Crusaders gave no option to anyone… and so on.

      It’s a really bad patch of land, now with too many large religions trying to claim it, some even hoping for the Apocalypse to start there ASAP. Then you add the water shortages, and global warming is only going to make those worse.

  I just meant siding with the people being forced out of their homes by Israel and placed under heavy surveillance while under constant threat of attack. I can’t blame them for wanting to fight back.

    Yeah I agree, I side with the innocent people, not necessarily all the semi-state entities in Palestine.

    I can’t blame them for wanting to fight back.

    With attacking innocent civilians I can.

      Hamas is less “attacking innocent civilians” and more doesn’t know where civilians will be since they are a poor and oppressed retaliation force. And the Iron Dome is pretty much impenetrable because Israel shoots anything down in their airspace.

      There is a very important difference between aiming generally at the oppressive force which includes civilians who continue to replace Palestinians who’ve lived there for their whole lives and targeting civilians, children included. Palestine does the former, Israel does the latter.

      Look, I don’t actually think I’m going to convince you of anything, but I hope it gives you pause at least.

  Oh fuck off with this centrist nonsense.

  Right now only one side has the power and is enforcing crimes against humanity against the other.

  “American cops targeting black people is wrong, but a black person killed one cop once and that justifies the whole systematic suffering given to them” That’s basically what you sound like, a fucking moron.

    The state of tribalism where when someone points out something isn’t simplistic clear “good vs evil” all the time they are suddenly “Enlightened centrism”

      The defence of the indefensible when someone tries to say both sides are to blame when only one side is engaged in state sanctioned crimes and the other lives in a ghetto surrounded by the others soldiers who routinely drive into the ghetto and kill them.

        A state actor can be wrong and a terrorist group can be wrong???
