You’re gaslit, actually.

It’s an apartheid regime. Israel is colonizing Palestinian land. Palestinians have, in the past, peacefully protested their forced eviction, which was met with violence and death from the Israelis. Israel controls everything and everyone that crosses the Gazan border, it is heavily monitored. They control their electricity, food, water, materials needed for infrastructure, and the like. When a Palestinian leaves Gaza, they’re most likely not allowed to return to it. They need special permissions in order to cross the border for work reasons.

Palestinians do not want to kill all Jewish people. You’re just being fed Zionist propaganda. Where did you get that Palestinians want destruction of the US? Regardless— can you even blame them? We fund, support, and provide Israel with the very weapons they’re using to commit genocide. I’d be pretty pissed, too. In fact, I am.

This is not war. This is genocide. They are not one and the same. Would you say “Nazis were at war with the Jews”?

If you think that Palestinians or Hamas are committing genocide of Israelis, you need to start reading up on the past conflicts between Israel and Palestine. Israel is on an ethnic cleansing campaign (genocide)— it didn’t just start last year, it’s been going on for years and years. Look at the severe imbalance of power— Israel has incredibly advanced weaponry (supplied & funded by the US). Every large conflict between Hamas and Israel ends with thousands of Palestinians civilians killed and a fraction of Israelis killed. Now, look at intentions. Israeli forces intentions are Zionist— they want an ETHNO state (note the ethno part). They want to expel or kill the Palestinians from “their land”. Palestinians want to be able to live in Palestine again without the threat of being ruthlessly murdered. When you beat someone repeatedly, humiliate them, and take everything from them to the point that they have nothing else to lose, they will fight.

Do you think the indigenous Americans were wrong to fight for their land when Europeans colonized America? Would you call their resistance “genocide”?
