Yes, but Hamas did start the war so it’s not that simple

Even if you ignore the Nakba, the war started in 1967 with the Israeli occupation of territory now claimed by the State of Palestine.

No...

No they didn't.

They tried to go for a rebel strike that might make Israel pause and think about their constant ongoing oppression and slaughter, but Papa Biden was there to make sure that didn't work.

It wasn't bad enough that white nation's went in, stole their land, and displaced them.

America had been depending on Israel to buy and use their guns and ammunition the whole time through to prop up the military industrial complex and give America a toe-hold across the Pacific.

Plenty of bootlicking Americans around to deny that long and horrific history though.

Just for anyone who might happen to care about facts, Israel is not a "white nation", and most of its citizens actually originate from the Middle East from Jewish communities in Arab countries that were expelled in the 50s and 60s. Ashkenazi Jews from Europe are a significant group, but they're not a majority. Most Arab countries had Jewish communities for well over 2000 years before being forcibly expelled due to Arab anger after the formation of Israel.

The synagogue of Baghdad, for instance, was built 2500 years ago. A synagogue on the outskirts of Damascus was build 2700 years ago. The synagogue of Aleppo dates nearly 3000 years ago, where it housed a set of Hebrew Bible scrolls from around the year 1000 until they were removed following anti-Jewish riots in 1947. Libya has a synagogue from c. 1060. Cairo has 12 synagogues, but less than 10 Egyptian Jews. In Yemen, evidence of Jewish community dates back 2500 years. In 1949 and 1950, 50,000 Yemeni Jews were evacuated to Israel in the face of growing persecution and backlash to the creation of Israel. By 2009, there were about 350 Jews left in Yemen, and following the Civil War in Yemen and strong persecution from the Houthis, there are less than 10 Jews remaining in Yemen, essentially ending over 2500 years of Jewish history in Yemen.

To describe Israel as nothing but a bunch of white Europeans is simply inaccurate and erases the millennia-long history of Jewish communities throughout the entire Middle East.

Sir, no one told me being humane would require reading. I’d like to speak to the manager. /s

This is the reason you give for murder and rape of innocent people? This is your justification? You are morally repugnant

You are morally repugnant

As is the IDF and Netanyahu for continuing to murder Palestinians, journalists and innocent children by the thousands.

And kettling Palestinians in southern Gaza so it's easier to bomb/kill them.

There is no justification for the atrocities committed on Oct 7th. The more I read your tripe the sicker I feel for mankind.

I CAN NOT wait for you to give the justification for what Israel has done to Palestine every day for over 50 years.

Hint: Its murder and rape.

Show me where Isreal killed women as they raped them then mutilated their bodies you sick SOB.

Unverified fear-bait.

There's no shortage on stories of cases where Israeli soldiers rape Palestinians --of any gender. In terms of murder, we know which side has the higher body count, so let's not pretend we don't.

Israel does that too!

Has done it consistently for 50 years?

Do I endorse Hamas fighting fire with fire? No.

Can I blame Hamas for fighting fire with fire? No.

Jesus I hate you fucking fruit fly memoried bandwagoning genocidal bastards.

Sure chief. Show me where Israelis behead people. Show me where they burn them alive. Get out of here with that false equivalency

Just say it. Just call them savages you want exterminated.
You don't care about death or suffering, you care about how "impure and backwards they are". To be cleaned for "progress"

You're building up to it, just speak plainly. You want to improve the land of Palestine by clearing out the savages. It's the genocidal colonial logic you subscribe to. Let people know who you are.

First you say what you really feel. The Jews deserved it, right? It's on the tip of your tongue

No.

The Israelis deserved it.

Separate Jew and Israeli in your mind.

Israel isn't Jewish. It was taken from Palestine to be given to the Jews as reparation for the Nazi genocide, but that was a long ass time ago, Israel is not entirely Jewish anymore, and now Israel is the country doing a genocide.

Thank you for making it so easy to block you.

I'm sure bin Laden said the same deluded BS.
