Feel free to let me know where you’re reading that Palestinians should kill themselves.

I did. Article 13.

I don’t know which list they’ve sent you but in mine article 13 is about the disarmament of Hamas

Trump’s exact phrasing:

Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt.

“And other factions” means everyone. It means PFLP, it means everyone in PLO and everyone who is part of some political entity (e.g. a labour union) is directly called out and barred from public life, and then in the same breath all military infrastructure has to be surrendered. It doesn’t say “Hamas’ weapons”, it says all weapons.

If you live next to someone actively trying to kill you and you do not have any means to protect yourself, you will be killed. There are zero steps of assumption or inference required here. It is obviously immediately equivalent to death. You pretending like there’s a semantic difference is dishonesty.

that’s the point

What point were you trying to make that I missed? Is part of the Sunni religion that you must support Donald Trump? Is Donald Trump a Sunni prophet? If that is the point you’re making, then at some point you accepted and internalised some misinformation.

making Bibi publicly apologize

Do you have a recording of this apology? Since it was public, there must be a recording.

Why else do you think they did that?

I’m not arguing the Qatari administration doesn’t care about saving face. I’m saying the administration isn’t deterred by having to participate in war crimes. Yes, obviously the optics of promising amnesty and initiating a dialogue in the guise of negotiation when your goal is assassination is very bad, and improving optics is worthwhile to the USA, Israel, and Qatar. But the tactic is demonstrably not beyond their evil. Genocide was already their baseline, so any optics management is an uphill battle, and they aren’t going to prioritise it too much.

Yeah, thanks for opening my eyes! I’ve just reread the history of the region and indeed, religious differences were never an issue there

You’re still being orientalist. It’s very off-putting. Would you accept a fraction of this attitude towards your own home?
