Highlight:

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

    They are “acting accordingly” by performing an ethnic cleansing. How disgustingly ironic.

        Israel’s “peace talks” are nonsense.

        Israelis have stolen their land and homes, have performed ethnic cleansing, stripped them of their rights, and acted like they’re the victims the entire time.

        There’s no good solution here, but an Israeli solution is not any solution at all.

        “Israel offering peace talks” is like me offering you a couch after I steal your land and burned your house down. It isn’t workable.

        I totally agree with you.

        In the same vein, Ukraine has totally ignored various offers from Russia and isn’t a true partner for peace.

        All they need to do is compromise and give up their land.

            So the moment the Palestinians stop resisting, Israel will stop settlement construction (i.e. Ethnic cleansing) despite this being the opposite position of Netanyahu’s government?

            Of course!

        The only way there will be peace is if Israel moves. Any other negotiations are pointless. There is no path to peace with Israel staying where it is.

        Ignorant statement of the day: the only “apartheid” states in the Middle East are Arab ones. I’ve been on projects where Muslims tried to separate Americans with PhDs and Masters degrees from their teams and put them in slums just because of the color of their skin or their ancestry

        Imagine siding with the oppressors and not the oppressed and trying to darvo literal genocide.

        You both sides this argument then side with the fascists. Wow.

        “no one will bat an eye”

        Where were all the batting eyes when the shoe was on the other foot?

            you haven’t been following this shitshow for long have you? Look up Israels illegal settlements, both sides in this are evil and don’t give a shit about civilian lives.

              Look up Israels illegal settlements

              The west bank has nothing to do with Gaza or Hamas

              Fatah runs the west bank

                what the…

                those two regions are inhabited by the same people, from the (former) same country. Fatah runs the West Bank yes, that does not suddenly make the people there non-Palestinians. Hamas still uses the issues in the West Bank as ammunition in their propaganda against Israel because the Palestinians in Gaza, surprise, care about the Palestinians in the West Bank.

                hm, there’s a name for illegally occupying territory of a foreign nation while claiming they can’t claim that territory. Ah right, colonialism. The very act of building settlements in someone else’s territory is an act of aggression, it’s in no way peaceful.

            No one was coming to their rescue anyway. Everyone else was already turning a blind eye to Israel’s abuses.
