They are sending Gaza back a hundred years,” and argued that the international community is “complicit” in the “extermination” being carried out by Israel
So very true. We’re reacting to the present destruction of Gaza and asking for a ceasefire.
What does the future look like in Gaza? Any financial commitments to rebuild? Even when the bombings finally stop, how does Gaza survive?
good question, and there are no solutions yet. one thing for sure is israel will not accept hamas existance anymore, nor should anyone with a working moral compass.
seen as how it's abundantly clear that the Israeli govt is also an incredibly terroristic institution, no one with a moral compass should accept their existence either, right?
Alareer, a literature professor with the Islamic University of Gaza, warned us a month ago about how Israel is using “hunger as a weapon of war.” The Gaza Strip is facing major hunger issues as it enters the third month of the war instigated by the October 7 Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people in Israel. “The people of Gaza are dying of hunger,” said Alareer. “We have very little food or water due to Israel’s blockade. This is a systematic extermination – the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. It’s a continuation of the Israeli ethnic cleansing that started over 75 years ago,” referring to the creation of the Israeli state in 1948.
A systematic extermination and an ethnic cleansing supported and facilitated by the USA.
War is funny.
WWI started because everyone had to respect their treaties and join their allies into war.
Then WWII started because countries didn't join together from the start.
So, even if we learn from our past mistakes and avoid making them, with war, we can only do worse the next time.
I saw the article mentioned he had defended the Oct 7 attack so after some googling:
Soon after the 7 October Hamas attack – which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, with about 240 kidnapped – Alareer caused outrage during a BBC interview by calling it “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, the broadcaster said.
Yikes. Defending oct 7 was pretty fucked up move on his behalf but what Israel keeps doing is arguably worse. Both Hamas and Israel leadership need to be removed from this world....
What Israel is doing is worse, yet most world leaders are justifying Israel's actions. Nobody seems to be condemning these political slimeballs. It seems that Hamas, a violent liberation movement is being held to a higher standard than nation states.
Words don't justify a death sentence. This is the same bullshit reasoning that gets trotted out by bootlickers every time a cop murders a black person in the US. There's a mad scramble to find the worst thing the victim ever did and claim that makes their murder ok.
I'll hold off judging him for that. War and murder are never justified. But sometimes there are definitely reasons. With the Israeli government treating them like animals and commiting war crimes. There were definitely reasons for the attack. And Israel definitely is not innocent, or a good guy here.
It's inarguable that hama's attack only made the Palestinian situation worse. And was illogical/irrational. But this is how those who are cornered with no hope act. And that is all on Israel.
"At least he's not trump" is their only response and democrats worked hard to promote fascists like him to make sure that was the only response they'll ever need.
