This was definitely a good read, but to quote something from a leftist friend of the author:

It is not just Hamas, it’s all Gazans who agree that it’s OK to kill Jewish children, that this is a worthy cause … With Germany there was reconciliation, but they apologised and paid reparations, and what [will happen] here? We too did terrible things, but nothing that comes close to what happened here on 7 October. It will be necessary to reconcile but we need some distance.

I’m sorry, are you comparing the Gazans who lived in an open air prison under horrific oppression to the Nazis? Gazans who were themselves refugees from violent expulsion? And how sure are you that so many Gazans agree that it’s okay to kill Jewish children? I’ve seen this insane sentiment so often from Isn’traelis it’s crazy; actually it’s either crazy or just projection, seeing as so many pissraelis have been vocalizing their desire to either kill Gazan children or for them to ‘die’ (the Western media way of telling you ‘murdered by the IDF’).

Also, ‘We too did terrible things, but nothing that comes close to what happened here on 7 October’, ARE YOU DAMN SERIOUS?! IT ONLY DOESN’T COME CLOSE BECAUSE IT GOES THE OTHER WAY INTO FAR, FAR WORSE! PEOPLE HAD TO BE MURDERED FOR YOU TO HAVE THE LAND YOU’RE LIVING ON! THE SURVIVORS OF WHICH MAY ACTUALLY BE INCARCERATED IN THE PRISON OF GAZA! EVEN GAZA ALONE EVERY YEAR HAD HIGHER NUMBERS THAN 7 OCTOBER!

THIS is what accounts for the Israeli left?!

‘It will be necessary to reconcile but we need some distance.’ translated as “Yes, we know things are difficult in Gaza right now, but we need time to get over this” he says while expecting Gazans to wait while bombs rain down on them and snipers shoot their children in the head and heart, double tapping to make sure they’re dead.

Honestly even the author doesn’t seem to acknowledge the horrors of being on the receiving end of settler colonialism.

This was a good read and I’m glad the author can see the horrors of how Israeli society is developing, and I certainly didn’t know so many people in the early 80’s actually wanted a country that made citizens of both Palestinians and Israelis (THIS is genuinely the best solution!), nor did I know that Yitzak Rabin, lauded as the guy who wanted a peaceful coexistence with Palestinians (though let’s not be mistaken here: the peace accords offered terrible conditions to the Palestinians) was the guy who gave the order during the first intifada (the peaceful one) to break the arms and legs of Palestinian youth. Nor did I realize that pirate captain Moshe Dayan was not blind in his one good eye to the injustice that had been done to the Palestinians with the occupation, having lived in Palestine before the Nakba, although clearly aware enough of the importance of propaganda to remove text from his speech that pointed out that Palestinians were victims and were rightfully angry.

Yup, I recall seeing news about Iran being mere days away from nuclear weapons for literally decades now.

end up returning to North Korea anyway?

Not if they go to South Korea; they literally won’t be allowed to leave. DPRK defectors/hostages aren’t given a passport off the bat; only when the puppet regime is convinced of their loyalty are they allowed to exit South Korea apparently.

I think this was the documentary that mentioned it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3V4Hnl7J9H4

Fuck off

No you; the argument was never that Taiwan is independent, even our government has never acknowledged that; only utter imbeciles ever thought that was the case.

Why would China invade itself?

I guess your…Luks not running out.

…you’re using Vista? Even when Vista was new it was terrible. Just get Windows 10. Also if you use old peripherals then yeah, you’re probably gonna have problems. No idea what all these issues with installing drivers is about; it stopped being a problem with newer Windows. It’s like this post was made over a decade ago, lol.

But you better recognize that there isn’t too much that differentiates you from those snipers

Hard disagree; the snipers, much like most of the IDF, despise Palestinians and don’t see them as humans. Saying it’s a problem of following orders blindly is like saying the KKK had a problem of people following orders blindly. During peaceful protests the IDF competed with who could shoot the most knees; this is not a following orders problem, it’s a nature of settler colonial society problem.

How much of a shitty person do you have to be, to snipe little kids in the head?

I’ve seen the frothing hatred Israelis express towards Palestinians; they’re taking the opportunity to take out all their hatreds and to play out all their sickest fantasies while they can. We’re seeing what the colonizers who genocided the Native Americans were doing and would have done with modern weapons. This isn’t a problem with individuals, it’s a settler colonial society problem.

Israelis literally use leftist as a pejorative

Reminds me of when Tucker Carlson referred to a young black kid (two years younger than Rittenhouse) who was shot by cops as a young man (had to correct himself too by the way), but referred to Rittenhouse as a kid.

I look at stuff like this and wonder why the global South ever tries to engage in dialogue with us when we even call young male victims of drone attacks ‘military aged males’

Like so many other people on the internet you seem to have very little information about what you’re talking about, but that doesn’t stops you from expressing your opinion.

The guy in your link like so many people on the internet seems to have very little information about what they’re talking about, but that hasn’t stopped them from expressing their opinion. Here’s someone who does actually have a lot of information on what they’re talking about who has a response to their video:

See this and let me know if you still feel the same way

And intentionally sinking refugee ships

If you look at everything through the lens of Palestinians being subhuman, Israeli actions make more sense.

Also continued support of Israel by Western powers for that matter.

Simpsons, show some moral backbone and instead of having Lisa say ‘free Tibet’, have her say ‘free Palestine’

I’m reminded of a comment I once read on a wiki page about…My Lai I believe (a page with some relation to war crimes, or a specific war crime, in Vietnam)? There was a (general?) who was explaining why they felt fine killing civilians; he said you could be passing by some lady, step on a mine and die, and that she’s guilty because she knew it was there and said nothing.

Not bad enough you invaded their country, but you expect them to bend over backwards and make invading them easier?

Pro-Palestine rally: Cease genocide and follow international law

Pro-Israel rally: Kill all Palestinians

You know, I can kind of see why this is tricky for so many.

I also wonder what all these folks think their own reaction would be if people from half a world away came over, colonized us, stuck us in an open air prison and then treated us as horrifically as the Palestinians have been treated. Aren’t there literally movies and games about America being invaded and the invaders treated as the bad guys?

Seriously, I would love for all anti-Palestine reporters to be asked point blank what they would do if they endured what the Palestinians had to endure.

he had to have expected some serious consequences

Did you read the article?

According to the neighbours, Ishaq was mentally challenged.

Also:

Like come on, if this was an article about a Muslim community beating the shit out of someone for throwing bacon at a mosque, we’d all probably have a different reaction

Humor me, what reaction do you think we’d have here?

bite America in the ass

It won’t be America it bites in the ass; they’ll be a deadly menace to their neighbors in the West (as I would imagine Russia is going to remain on its toes about armed Ukrainian militias). They’ve been pretty open about their far right views. Frankly this was actually a brilliant strategy for the government; much like how they turned the Middle East into nations yearning for America’s protection, so too will the rest of (Western) Europe now become new clients. As a business strategy it’s brilliant, my only question is why European governments and the idiots who vote for them over there actually going along with this; you’re watching the car careening towards the cliff, why are you cheering the guy pushing it from behind rather than slamming on the brakes.

Even the Taliban didn’t commit 9/11 until the US had already been engaged in military actions in Afghanistan for years by that point. War profiteering is the point.
