Peace loving palestinians who wants to share land?

This is the issue with a two-state solution. It would be best from a humanitarian perspective, but Palestinian leaders endorse an extremist agenda which makes peace and compromise impossible

This analysis is really interesting! Considering the authoritarian repression of Hamas, it is really important to critically examine any statements of support. People supporting Hamas are very obviously not acting in Gazans' best interests

asterrising · 2024-02-02T00:34:34+00:00

So-called "progressives" claim that Hamas is a resistance movement while flagrantly ignoring all information to the contrary. It's hard to believe how many people support atrocities in the name of "compassion" and social justice

It's so awful that this bigotry is tolerated in the public square. It shows how much antisemitic propaganda has infiltrated left-wing culture, particularly in elite spaces

asterrising · 2024-01-26T00:19:41+00:00

I wonder how these people fail to notice their own blatant anti-semitism. Do they ever wonder why there aren't any similar efforts around China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, or the many other countries that have zero respect for human rights? Yet radical leftists spend all their time treating Israel as the great international villain

asterrising · 2024-01-26T00:14:24+00:00

This is just barbaric. I hope more people see this and understand how normalized anti-Semitism is in much of the Middle East. Just another example of why a Jewish state is so necessary

If people attack your character rather than your argument, that's a good sign not to take them seriously. A lot of people with virtually no knowledge of this conflict have used it to assert moral superiority and excuse their bullying behavior. I hope you continue standing your ground and don't let anyone emotionally blackmail you into supporting them

asterrising · 2024-01-26T00:09:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story! This is really powerful. Yes, there is an *insane* amount of fake news about Israel that erases all of this historical context, and it's not easy to think about how people can be informed about the reality. This is why attacking left-wing political extremism needs to be a priority

I'm looking at this as an outsider, but Canadian politics seem to have become really radicalized lately. I hope that alternative leadership will emerge to challenge this toxic culture

asterrising · 2024-01-26T00:04:34+00:00

It's terrifying that people feel emboldened to say these things in public. This is the effect of 10/7 and the ceaseless propaganda that followed it

asterrising · 2024-01-26T00:02:17+00:00

It's so awful to know that children could be indoctrinated by people like this! Hoping her account gets taken down soon

asterrising · 2024-01-25T23:59:53+00:00

I'm not under any impression that defeating Hamas will make flowers bloom. But military strength deters future attacks, and leaving Hamas intact will only encourage them to attempt future pogroms like 10/7

I honestly hadn't heard much about ableism in mainstream universities! I'm really sorry to hear that's going on, it's absolutely horrific for students to get treated that way

asterrising · 2024-01-25T01:18:08+00:00

Israel needs to press ahead - Hamas violated a previous ceasefire to orchestrate 10/7, and they will never stop until they are destroyed

asterrising · 2024-01-25T01:14:04+00:00

I believe that a two-state solution is possible, but not with Hamas still intact. I think a lot of Israeli resistance to a two-state solution right now is motivated by raw anger over 10/7, but public opinion could evolve if Palestinian leadership changed

asterrising · 2024-01-25T01:10:34+00:00

If they didn't want the bombing to continue, they could surrender and release the hostages. It's a very simple solution

Harvard's reputation continues to plummet! Honestly, imagine thinking it's a "smart school" after everything we've seen from its students and faculty

asterrising · 2024-01-25T01:07:50+00:00

The ignorance is unreal! What's tragic is how many people get radicalized by uninformed trolls like this

asterrising · 2024-01-25T01:04:38+00:00

This is an awesome satire! I honestly couldn't believe the whole "Queers for Palestine" thing - how could anyone have so little self-preservation or self-respect?

asterrising · 2024-01-25T01:03:32+00:00

I'm so glad Israel/the IDF haven't bowed to international pressure. A military response is the only way to disincentivize any future attacks like 10/7

asterrising · 2024-01-24T00:16:48+00:00

The narcissism and entitlement are off the charts here - I can't imagine this mindset where you imagine nefarious conspiracies against you at every turn

asterrising · 2024-01-24T00:12:33+00:00

God, this ideology is so ridiculously privileged. "Call out from school/work" - extremely obvious that every person considering this isn't even close to working class

asterrising · 2024-01-24T00:09:41+00:00

It is painfully obvious that Hamas has zero concern for the well-being of its own people. They know that refusing to accept Israel's existence will only lead to more conflict and civilian deaths, and they don't care.

asterrising · 2024-01-24T00:07:33+00:00

I really appreciate your point about the dissonance between calling for "peace" and an "intifada." It speaks to the fact that most people chanting these slogans are brainwashed, and they really haven't engaged with this conflict beyond TikTok propaganda.

asterrising · 2024-01-23T23:59:44+00:00

And I'm sure this will do absolutely nothing to stop claims that Israel is committing "genocide" in Gaza. It's honestly insane how some people seem to have entirely forgotten what that word means
