I’m saying, don’t hallucinate an alternate reality.

People didn’t turn out much more than they changed their vote.

Democrats can maybe not run a totally dogshit campaign?

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.

There are not many things that make me irrationally angry… Fucking with my glasses is one of them.

Someone’s got a carbon monoxide leak.

Fascism is truly a death cult

Little Joel has a video that slaps about exactly that.

If they aren’t occupiers…

Why doesn’t Gaza have an airport? (it was destroyed in 2002 and not allowed to rebuild)

What happens when Gazan’s go too far off the coast? (they get shot)

What happens when they go past the border wall? (they get shot)

But sure, maybe you like the term “under seige” better? Is that more accurate for you?

Social media, not western news agencies. The news is highly biased toward Israel even if the people generally aren’t falling for it.

Recognized as a non-member observer state, and the countries actively oppressing them currently do not.

The same ones that hand-wring endlessly about a “two state solution”.

Palestinians would love to be recognized as a state. Why aren’t they?

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.
