    I don’t disagree with this, but Hamas was created by Israel, and now Israel is bombing all of Gaza because of Hamas. It really seems like Israel has been planning this genocide for a loooong time.

      In the same vein, Israel’s right-wing regime was in no small part created by Islamist hostilities towards Israel and Jewish people from the very start

        Do you mean prior to the Israeli occupation of Palestine in 1967? Because I think it’s somewhat reasonable to be hostile towards an occupational force.

        Not a gotcha I’m genuinely curious at what point in history you are referring to, apologies if it sounds antagonistic.

          Not only an occupational force, but one extending colonial rule with arguably as bad or worse treatment of the native populace (and no, jews moving to Israel are not native to the land just because that was true a long time ago and they have a book telling them it is so).

          How are you just casually missing 20 years of history before that? Not to mention the preceeding 1000 years.

            So you’re saying Israel has a right to genocide Palestine because of the previous thousand years of history before 1967?

            We can cherry pick timelines if we want to, but the fact is that Israel has occupied Palestine for the last 50 years. This is why Hamas exists, and this is the issue we face today.

            The previous thousand years only serve as propaganda for modern Israel to be on board with the genocide.

            This is just straight up islamophobic rhetoric

              Wow, those leaps could set a world record. Get real. You’re cherry picking and then accusing me of cherry picking?

                  If you knew anything about what you said, you’d be able to figure that out yourself.

                    So you’re not going to provide any context at all? I’m not going to give you your answer for you.

                    Tell me what leaps you are referring to so that I can better educate myself, or fuck off. It is truly that simple.
