It should be noted that 'refugee camp' is a somewhat misleading term. These are functionally cities that are located where temporary camps were originally located. As refugee status is inherited by Palestinians, these are communities of legal refugees and thus, strictly speaking, refugee camps, but the image is very much not what the term brings to mind.
This is not to downplay the tragedy of civilian casualties; just providing some context that people may not know.
The refugees have been there since 1948. There are apartments and several generations of kids. The headline misleadingly makes them sound like they were displaced this month.
As Israel continues their barbaric campaign of death they will lose all their allies on the left. The majority of the upcoming American generations (all progressively more left leaning) won't support our key middle east partner any longer. Israel will be forced into the circles of auth right allies, further solidifying the fascistic ethnostate within. This really is Israels 9/11.
So sad that all the people in these threads claiming to want to defeat Hamas can't understand that every second this continues their victory grows greater. There's always time to stop this madness. There's always time to step back from the abyss and help save Israel, but it needs to be your voices that help do it.
People of the postcolonialism left, like you, have always hated Israel on principle. There is no losing you as an ally, since people like you never were allies in the first place.
So I guess the Israelis will survive the loss of you as an ally quite well.
Just keep cutting off your nose then. I didn't say I was that ally, but I very much assure you that I used to be. They can absolutely survive the loss, all I was saying is enjoy the fascism at the end of vengeance road.
Sure. Do you think they are not worth saving? That was the point I was trying to make to people who support Israel. Do I seem unaware of who's dropping the bombs?
… “won’t support our key middle east partner any longer” …
lol. They will forget. We are forgetting faster and faster… the new generations are also not caring more and more. And we need oil. Lot’s of oil.
It’s all going as planned. What these butchers (not just Israel, also US and EU) are doing to Palestine today will just be a footnote of a ‘war against terrorists’ in few years.
This genocide is no freak accident (weakened Israeli defense systems my ass). All our politicians hands and by proxy our hands are steeped in blood… and the Nazis are louder and louder in Europe again… cheered on and supported by the mighty american and british media and war machines. All running on oil.
The ones that will still be remembering won’t have any platform to be seen or to act upon…
Part of the "weakened Israeli defense systems" was Netanyahu redirecting people and assets from around Gaza to the West Bank to aid in the ethnic cleansing over there.
The entire plan was; "ignore Gaza and trust the magical iron dome system to be magic, but use the threat of Hamas to justify an ethnic cleansing where there is no real Hamas presence".
Meh, their similar enough that up until 2019 Israel publicly funded Hamas to explicitly weaken the Palestinian government. Both sides want thier little far right ethnostate. The only distinction in their minds is which race gets it.
The capacity to enforce thier ethnostate doesn’t seem like that much of a change when discussing thier idoligy. If Russia or Pakistan have Hamas a standing army and nukes tomorrow i doubt they would suddenly change thier stated end goals, simpley be capible of far more violence in furtherance of thouse goals.
Gaza is self governed. Hamas is specifically targeting civilian Jews, while using Palestinian civilians as human shield, welcoming response by IDF that inadvertently kills some civilians. They are not your “freedom fighters”. With their goal to destroy Israel, they are the ones committing genocide, luckily unsuccessfully.
Gaza is a self governed open air prison, where there are several generations of people who have been born in captivity.
Most of the residents are stateless. They have no legal protections under any law. They have no birth certificates, they have no passports. They literally could not leave, even if Israel didn't have armed checkpoints around them.
Their "government" of Hamas, was also sort of imposed on them by Israel, in an effort to keep Palestine divided.
The Palestinians are refugees in the land where their parents and grandparents were born, going back for hundreds or thousands of years. All in the name of modern colonizers who claim their imaginary sky daddy gave them the land a few thousand years ago.
This will end with the destruction of an entire culture and sets back peaceful discourse for generations. Not enough people with a voice weep for the suffering of the innocent, regardless of the perpetrator.
I agree native Americans should have had the ability and freedom to fight against their colonizing oppressors, and I think the same applies for any other group, Palestinians included. Should that be through Hamas? I don’t know. It’s not really for me to judge. They’re being oppressed and murdered by a much more powerful force which is getting weapons and support from the most powerful nations in the world. They aren’t going to win a conventional battle. The only option is what Israel will always call terrorism. What restrictions should be applied isn’t really up for us to decide until we at least stop supporting the Zionists.
It’s hard to imagine how they can’t realize this is just leading to further radicalization. So much so I have to wonder if that’s either the goal or they simply don’t intend on leaving anyone left at the end of this.
If the war ends, Netanyahu will be ousted from power and most likely convicted for fraud for previous crimes. That’s why he has set the goal of eradicating hamas. I guess we will know when hamas has been eradicated when they update their website to tell us that they are all dead?
Netanyahu is using this war to stop from going to jail.
Yeah I’m not saying I have any answers now that it’s come to this point. But not bolstering Hamas in the past and actually allowing the palistinians civilians some hope would have done wonders.
Shame on Israeli for this insupportable massacre of human life, and on the Hamas participants who started this conflict. All who commit murder in the name of war, shall burn for eternity in hell. Without any exception of any kind. No human has the right or the justification (OF ANY KIND) to murder another, no matter what, no matter the circumstances, no matter the depravity of the society around them.
