While the war in Gaza has riveted public attention, the simultaneous escalation of violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank is not disconnected from the violence in Gaza.
In an Op-Ed titled “Let’s Not be Intimidated by the World,” Israeli ret. Major General Giora Eiland argues that all Palestinians in Gaza are legitimate targets and that even a “severe epidemic” in Gaza will “bring victory closer.”

“Three principles make the Israelis live at peace with themselves in light of a brutal reality,” according to Israeli journalist Gideon Levy.

The White House needs a cover story to obscure its complicity. In desperation, it is once again resurrecting the long-dead two-state solution

Israel already knows it is breaking International Laws, this is about countering their propaganda where they claim to have a right to defend themselves from the people they are invading.
Some people on the fence will double check, and confirm that Israel is the offender and oppressor, and change their position. As for the brainwashed warmongers, this isn’t for them as they too don’t care about International Laws.
Palestinian Christians from Gaza deliver a valuable message to the world and expose Israel's war crimes in Gaza.
"We want to tell you that faith does not divide us in #Palestine." Palestinian Christians from #Gaza deliver a valuable message to the world and expose #Israel's war crimes in Gaza.

Good bot
The truth. Israelis are racist as fuck!
A lot of Arabs and Muslims have volunteered to fight Assad, and many foreign countries got involved in Syria
As bad is it was, it is nowhere near as bad as war on Gaza
The US is treating the EU like a doner kebab to feed Ukraine
True. Hamas also offered to release the prisoners in exchange for all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. Israel continues to refuse the swap and as a result some have died in the bombings.
You are lying but I will limit myself to addressing your final lie which you base your other lies on. After all it is Israel and not Hamas that bombed the Church in Gaza.
From Hamas Charter:
16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.
17. Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage. The Zionist movement, which was able with the help of Western powers to occupy Palestine, is the most dangerous form of settlement occupation which has already disappeared from much of the world and must disappear from Palestine.

More patients, including premature babies, have reportedly died in Gaza City’s Al-Shifa hospital which has gone three days without electricity amid intensifying Israeli military operations, making a ceasefire more urgent than ever, UN humanitarians have said.
No one cares about brown indigenous peoples bombed by white colonialists.
but the post is tagged NSFW 🤷
Germans can't live with themselves murdering 6 million Jews without transferring the guilt onto Palestinians
He didn’t facilitate anything.
Who are you lying to? Did you miss when the US vetoed the UN ceasefire and when the White House called it repugnant? https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/10/1142507
Muslim Egypt could have allowed all civilians to leave Gaza but they didn’t. Muslim Turkey could have evacuated Palestine’s civilians by sea but they didn’t.
Why? Palestinians are from Palestine. Why should Egypt or Turkey facilitate Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians? FYI Egypt is a secular state and 10% are Christian.
Muslim Gazans could have overthrown Hamas but they didn’t.
Do you think people in the US should be punished for whoever wins the elections? Should people in the US overthrow their government if it does something awful like bankroll a genocide? 50% of Gazans are children, they can't overthrow anyone. FYI: resistance to occupation and apartheid is both legal by international laws and moral.
And did you not know that there are plenty of Christians and non Arabs in Palestine too?
Yes I know. Justin Amish Palestinian American Christian had relatives of him murdered by Israel who were sheltering in a church in Gaza. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/palestinian-christians-accuse-western-church-of-complicity-in-gaza-deaths/ar-AA1iCrpk
No self respecting human being cares care only about 1 particular religion or 1 particular ethnic group.
I agreed. Maybe you should learn to care about Palestinians.
Do you know how ridiculous it is that Jews and Muslim are fighting each other because they have different imaginary friends? It will keep on happening forever until you rise above religion and value all of humanity.
It is not a religious war. David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister) phrased it well: “If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121. [emphasis mine]
Hamas is a legitimate indigenous resistance to a brutal occupation and blockade. Most of the people who were killed by Hamas were adults and half were active military.
You should listen to Gideon Levy speaking here in 2015 to learn something about how fascist and racist Israel really is and why resistance will always be inevitable: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/international/israel-journalist-gideon-levys-old-video-calling-out-netanyahu-and-occupation-of-palestine-gaza-goes-viral/videoshow/105071938.cms
Because that’s where the cold air comes from?
I agree with you on everything except that Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are 85% orphans as a result of past Israeli attacks on Palestinians, they are an indigenous resistance to a foreign invader.
in 1956 there was a massacre in Gaza and there was no Hamas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_Yunis_massacre
there have been numerous massacres by Israel, it is about time Palestinians fought back
The Nazis killed innocent women and children which is what Biden is doing in Gaza
If it is true that “arabs see US as complicit in Israel’s Gaza war”, then it is up to yourself to help them see the actual truth and not the lies.
The US is complicit from vetoing the UN ceasefire to arming and bankrolling Israel's genocide. I am sure deep down you are a good person except misled. The truth is as Arabs and the rest of the world see it. If you don't care about Palestinians lives -which is apparent- you should at least care about the US's image.
Here are some key quotes from a Financial Times article titled "Rush by west to back Israel erodes developing countries’ support for Ukraine"
“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” said one senior G7 diplomat. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”
Many developing countries have traditionally supported the Palestinian cause, seeing it through the prism of self-determination and a push against the global dominance of the US, Israel’s most important backer.
“What we said about Ukraine has to apply to Gaza. Otherwise we lose all our credibility,” the senior G7 diplomat added. “The Brazilians, the South Africans, the Indonesians: why should they ever believe what we say about human rights?”
Since last Sunday, many of those officials told the Financial Times they have had the same argument read back at them in demands for condemnation of Israel’s retaliatory assault on Gaza, and of its decision to restrict water, electricity and gas supplies there.
“I mean, let’s be frank. This is a gift from heaven for Russia,” said a senior EU official. “I think it’s damaging what’s happening . . . because Russia is exploiting the crisis and saying, ‘Look, the global order that has been built after the second world war is not working for you,’ and addressing 1bn inhabitants in the Middle East or in the Arab world.”
“What New Delhi, Jakarta and Brasília want to see is a common position on these issues, and consistency. And if they don’t see that . . . then on the major global issues there’s a certain danger EU, G7, Nato will not be taken seriously,” said Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, former Nato secretary-general.
“We, the west, do not call the shots any more, and the Global South says: ‘Please, we have a voice as well which you have neglected for some time,’” added de Hoop Scheffer, now chair of the Clingendael Institute, a Dutch think-tank.

In 2004 I couldn't wait to vote for John Kerry on the hopes he will put an end to the Bush's war on terror. In 2008 and 2012 I watched Obama promise and underdeliver, specially on the never-ending wars. In 2016 I voted for Clinton because Trump was apparently worse. In 2020 I voted for Biden despite knowing he is a Zionist and warmonger because I hoped he was still a decent person that acknowledges basic facts like climate change and maybe the progressives can push him to the left. I have now learned I have been scammed and fearmongered into voting Democratic, only to get a massive genocide.
The carnage in Gaza exceeds anything I witnessed my whole life in terms of scale. The number of children dead exceeds anything I saw my whole life. You may be kept in the dark about what's going on in Palestine and so I encourage you to get informed.
The US is complicit in the genocide. You genocide-denying liberal! https://youtu.be/rrUh9UOZzqo
Did you miss everything Biden said and did? Did you miss his unconditional support to Israel? Did you miss when he spread fake news about raped women and beheaded children? https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2023/10/12/white-house-walks-back-bidens-claim-he-saw-children-beheaded-by-hamas
Or his continued opposition to a ceasefire as voted on by the UN https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/10/1142507

Biden has blood on his hands and by his sheer hypocrisy and dehumanization of Palestinians he is also harming Ukrainians. You can’t have two different standards for Palestinians and Ukrainians

Israel has been far more brutal than Russia and Biden sends them more weapons to murder children with
Not only do Democrats deserve to lose -unless they nominate someone else- but the US deserves to be humiliated on the world stage for its hypocrisy and double standards
Israel is committing war crimes that makes Russia look like a saint, and Biden is bankrolling the murder of children in Gaza.
I’m reading “Nazis” and I am understanding it as neocons and neolibs. It does fit both. Clinton after all killed 500,000 Iraqi children
True. Liberals have exposed themselves to be hateful at least when it comes to Arabs and Muslims. I hope Arab and Muslim Americans are paying attention. They have been playing us as pawns to win their elections.
