Those are effectively outliers. The US makes up 4% of the world population and has 25% of the world’s prison population.

Likely posted from the country with the highest incarceration rate currently.

We’ve been an evil empire for a while now. A long history of wars, coups, and foreign intervention. It’s a lot more visible in the internet age and the propoganda machine isnt working like it used to.

You should be mad at billionaires and landlords, not other working people.

Fascism is truly a death cult

It’s almost like the bank wasn’t designed with you in mind, peasant.

Characterizing Gaza as occupied even after withdrawal, and suggesting that therefore Israel should keep providing them with supply lines even as Hamas attacks and tries to genocide them. (Absurd.)

It’s blockaded, and you know this. That’s occupied. You’re intentionally muddying the waters. Your categorizing of them being “national belligerents” is both infanitlizing and completely misses why they might be that way. It’s for, like, real reasons, like an unjust occupation and explusion.

Palestinians within Israel with full rights only exist to provide cover for apartheid.

The video explicitly talks about the people in Israel proper for the majority of it, the home demolitions and unequal treatment. You’re just wrong here.

Gaza/West Bank cannot vote in Israeli elections. (They should let the people trying to kill them and outnumber them elect their leaders? K.)

Sounds like you’re just saying “Great Replacement” demographics shit but with the local Arab population, fearing a demographic majority that might act in the same cruel ways back. A myth by the way.

Demonstrations in Palestinian territories are illegal. (That’s because they historically kill a lot of people.)

“The only democracy in the middle east” lmao. Straight fascist apologia.

Water rights from Oslo agreement. (Well, they agreed to it!)

How much choice did they have really? And the video even states they get less than the agreement (and it’s contaminated).

Restrictions on Palestinian movements. Forcible separation via roads, checkpoints, walls… (Palestine is still a belligerent nation)

I WONDER WHY

Alright man, it’s clear you either aren’t arguing in good faith, are a paid shill, are a fascist, have brain worms, or some combination of all four. It’s obvious you can’t be helped at this point.

Here. While this information is available in all kinds of places, here’s a good video essay for a look into what’s happening in Israel / Palestine.

You may be uncomfortable grappling with the reality of it, and that’s alright.

How dare they contain the belligerent monoethnic nation that’s actively trying to genocide them.

They just want to return to their homes they were violently expelled from. Yes, it would be within their rights to use violence to expel the literal theives from their homes.

What jerks, must be racism, or apartheid, or some other shocking term you want to call their self defense.

These terms are true. It is a shocking situation, especially Gaza. Israel bombed their airport, won’t let them go too far off the coast, walled them off, control everything about what goes into Gaza (hell, they couldn’t get pasta at one point), 97% of the water they get isn’t potable. The food they do receive is calorie tracked and once described by Israel as “putting the Palestinians on a diet”. They can’t get concrete to rebuild shit Israel blows up regularly. That shit is fucking bleak.

but rather it’s about safety like they have always claimed it is.

It is, the oppressor is trying to keep the land they stole from the oppressed. It also hasnt stopped, and it’s obvious that it’s a continuous project. The ones who are there now know they’re on borrowed time and many will resist.

The same folks operating an apartheid and open air prison? The same ones that did the Nakba?

Yes, absolutely. The Israelis are mega racist

Those children really had it coming for being at a hospital. Thankfully the IOF never lies and is always the good guys when they murder children. It’s just their culture to see Hamas everywhere like a scary boogeyman that justifies all war crimes.

I have a whole thread defending the slaughter of Palestinians because of an election 17 years ago, which isn’t nothing.

It is a literal terrorist government though. It just terrorizes overseas instead of at home.

And how has our involvement in Afghanistan worked out for the people there? You can’t fight terrorism with terrorism. Personally, if I had a rocket blow up my house and half my family, I’m signing up for Hamas or make Hamas 2 the next day to fight the people that did that to me. It’s not a Hamas missile that did that to me.

If you can’t empathize with that position, the humiliation and slow suffering of the Palestinians, I don’t know what to tell you. I suspect it’s a deep seated racism but I’ll never know.

Now where did I do that? Where did I call Palestinians subhuman?

Oh not you, plenty of Israeli officials, but this one is what I’m specifically referring to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbPdR3E4hCk

Yes. I’d be okay with Canada defending itself via violence. Quite literally would hope that Canada would do that… Especially

Even bombing your house and killing half your family, and cutting off all your food and water? Are you sure?

They funnel funds to Hamas through Qatar, and that’s exactly the point. Because Israel doesn’t want peace, they want land. How is this not blatantly obvious?

Also, thought experiment

• The United States elects Hamas. Literal Hamas.
• Some United States militants kill 5000 Canadians.

Is it OK for Canada to destroy more than half of your civilian infrastructure, displace half the population, and keep new england for itself while calling Americans subhuman beasts? Why or why not?

Explicitly legitimized by the Israeli state as well. It’s policy to only recognize Hamas as the legitimate governing body.

Most of the time, Israeli policy was to treat the Palestinian Authority as a burden and Hamas as an asset. Far-right MK Bezalel Smotrich, now the finance minister in the hardline government and leader of the Religious Zionism party, said so himself in 2015. According to various reports, Netanyahu made a similar point at a Likud faction meeting in early 2019, when he was quoted as saying that those who oppose a Palestinian state should support the transfer of funds to Gaza, because maintaining the separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza would prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.
