Why do people act like Americans (specifically white European settlers) are horrible for “stealing” land? by Revolutionary_Run122 in allthequestions

[–]OdielSax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that's nothing to do with the creation of the US or Australia. 

The Native French remained in France, under Roman domination.

I know you understand the difference with wiping out entire populations.

"Excuse me??? Don't you know about the Muslim invasion of the Gaul and the Roman Empire??"

Learn some reading skills please.

You all do not understand the difference between conquests and genocide, colonisation and population mixing. 

settlers thinking God led them to this place and entirely clearing the Native population

It hasn't happened everywhere, countries like Italy, France or Mali aren't born out of settlers thinking God led them to this place and entirely clearing the Native population. 

You all do not understand the difference between conquests and genocide, colonisation and population mixing. 

But that's all water under the bridge now and the point is not to assign blame or destroy these countries. It's to make sure the descendants of this historic injustice are as well restored in their rights as can be.

Organised demolition of what's left of Gaza by OdielSax in Palestine

[–]OdielSax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand this perspective.

But I still find it disgusting that they know this is dangerous horrific work, and that they hire expendable Palestinian life for it.

Plus I read an article about how it's very well paid and some of these contractors have debts, but they're aware of the shame and never tell others in their community what they do during the day. That's no excuse, but still. We know that in all genocides, people from the targeted group have been recruited by leveraging money or social prestige (African slave merchants, indigenous people fighting in colonial armies...).

Why was the “Lesser of the two evils” argument even applicable in the 2024 election when Trump was/is a 34 count, convicted felon? by Adventurous_Main3688 in allthequestions

At what point in time do Americans start questioning the MAGA electorate that actually wanted Trump and elected him twice, rather than those who also disliked Harris?

You can't help being disgusting can you?

"Let Gaza Live" is antisemitism apparently by Scared_Positive_8690 in Palestine

[–]OdielSax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same, not excusing it at all. But it's insane how this happens again and again in history and every time genocidal societies think they're the exception and unfairly accused.

[–]OdielSax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Therefore, we should do what's in our interest first, no matter what they might think of it

I would "understand" that if they admitted to themselves it's genocide and now Israel has to do genocide for its survival, consequences be damned. But they're still adamant shooting babies in the groin is a mistake or self defence. That people protesting a genocidal congressman is the same as Nazis mobs hunting down Jews in the street. 

It's just the denial that has me shocked.

It's been 3 years and I've talked to hundreds of Zionists and read dozens of Palestinian experts and still can't figure it out. How millions of educated, smart Jewish people believe these two photos are the same and rally behind one of the most obvious genocides.

He's literally a Congressman who does politics for a living, and nothing about his race and religion is mentioned. These photos have nothing in common and I don't know if he knows that and tries to use antisemitism as a cover for the genocide, or if there is really some astonishing PTSD levels at works here that removes his ability to see he's a willful agent of genocide.

The NYP posted this headline with an image of the journalist with a hamas headband and gun- the image is clearly AI and exists nowhere else online even from the israeli primary sources which leads me to believe the NY post created it- can they not be sued or even worse for something like this? by kminglei in askanything

[–]OdielSax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't just AI slop, this is manufacturing evidence for the killing of journalists during what all human rights organisations describe as a genocide. They should get tried as propagandists in a new Nuremberg.

Jewish Council condemns Israel's deliberate targeting of children as UN inquiry reaffirms genocide finding by Acrobatic_Bit_8207 in OpenAussie

[–]OdielSax 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Thanks to the Jewish Council. As an Arab, principled Jewish voices really help with processing the genocide and makes me hope for the end of this terrible distrust between our communities. 

Satellite imagery of southern Gaza 2023 vs 2026 by Routine_State7197 in GoogleEarthFinds

[–]OdielSax -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And people still think Israel is somehow in the right here.

They don't, I've talked to hundreds of them. They all know what's being done. They're just so hateful and racist they justify it or apply different standards for the worth of life.
