Streisand Effect
Free Palestine from the river to the sea.
No calls for genocide please.
Yeah I agree, Israel should stop actually committing genocide.
That wasn't what I meant, and you knew it. Well done!
Yeah, actual facts. Simply trying to stick to actual genocide instead of illusory projected genocide.
And the October the 7th was just a friendly little fight was it? Oh no, that was genocide.
International groups like the UN and Amnesty International talk about ongoing genocide. It is Israel that is committing this genocide. What you speak of is also terrible and sad. But Israel chooses this path, not Palestinians. So long as a group of people remain harshly oppressed, without food, water, education, healthcare, infrastructure, jobs, freedom to travel, freedom from being caged in, having homes taken from them at gunpoint or by bombs, we will continue to see bloody resistance with asymmetrical reaction.
Israeli quote from an open letter in Haaretz newspaper in 1967 right after the 6 Days War: "Our right to defend ourselves against annihilation does not grant us the right to oppress others. Conquest brings in its wake foreign rule. Foreign rule brings in its wake resistance. Resistance brings in its wake oppression. Oppression brings in its wake terrorism and counterterrorism. The victims of terrorism are usually innocent people. Holding onto the territories will turn us into a nation of murderers and murder victims. Let us leave the occupied territories now."
October the 7th was an act of genocide. It was the biggest single loss of life of Jewish people since the holocaust.
I'm not saying that Israel are handling things great either btw. But the term "to the river to the sea" is genocidal, and October the 7th was also genocidal
