>> Perhaps the obsession with sacred #martyrdom precludes "what if we end up worse off" reflection.
Yes, exactly! As the author of the original essay wrote:
"A people on the cusp of #liberation instead suffered war deaths and the moral rot caused by the veneration of suicide and murder."

>> #Freedom that is rewriting school textbooks to erase ideas incompatible with Hindutva? As soon as you accept a few million deaths for a better world, you have become a monster.
You have pivoted away from whether accepting a #TwoStateSolution proposed by #UN for #BritishIndia as well as for #BritishMandate in #Palestine was better for all.
#Hindutva is a different monster.

Hard to miss the sudden and magical end to the conflict as #Biden retires.
Noting that correlation ≠ causation, I posit that the conflict was contrived for a specific objective, that objective was achieved, and like #DamascusProtocol, it was NOT dreamt up in consultation with #Palestinians, nor had #Palestinian interest in mind.
Once again, ecstasy will subside, amnesia will set in, and Palestinians will let others fight #inTheirName

>> Bullshit. A quick google shows: Israel gained some territory formerly granted to Palestinian Arabs under the United Nations resolution in 1947. A map showing progression of Israel controlled land shows Israel steadily gaining almost the entire area.
It's not "bullshit".
I'm going to be a bit more patient and tolerant because you seem uninformed, not a hostile troll.
Do you know WHEN #Israel gained that territory and what happened between 1947 and THEN? See #EcstasyAndAmnesia 🙂

You didn't get the memo? 😂
>> …we have taken the side of the first Nazi government at the first opportunity. But apparently it doesn't matter what the members of that government themselves say. You have chosen to look the other way. Like so many others in the last century.
You have amnesia. See #EcstasyAndAmnesia
>> I think you’re being sealioned by someone conveniently skipping over past & current history of Israel’s illegal occupation of Gaza.
See the many posts and long threads on my timeline regarding the conflict in the #MiddleEast, many of which are readily accessible through hashtags in my profile.
One of the best is #EcstasyAndAmnesia, based on a 3rd party essay that will keep you from "conveniently skipping over past & current history of Israel’s illegal occupation of Gaza."

Yes, #Nasser was not just opposed to #Israel, he was ecstatic too.
See the hashtag #EcstasyAndAmnesia in which I summarized a very well researched essay by #ShanyMor on the situation in the #MiddleEast.
That essay is scholarly and somewhat long, but there is a link to the archived version of the full original essay in the thread itself.

This is as good a time as any to re-up the #EcstasyAndAmnesia in #Gaza thread ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/112441485737099304
#Palestinians need to learn their true history, not just what #Hamas-simps at UNRWA schools teach them, and as you pointed out, they need serious self-reflection on top of that

It’s remarkable that since US media kicked up a shitstorm over #Biden’s age (and only Biden’s age), the calls for Biden to step aside BECAUSE of alleged #genocide in #Gaza have virtually disappeared, even though war rages all the same in the #MiddleEast and #Palestinians are once again being displaced.
The Israeli military has urged all Palestinians to leave Gaza City and head south. The evacuation orders issued Wednesday indicated that Israel was pressing ahead with a fresh offensive across the north, south and center of the embattled territory that has killed dozens of people over the past 48 hours. The stepped-up military activity came as U.S., Egyptian and Qatari mediators were meeting with Israeli officials in the Qatari capital, Doha, for talks seeking a long-elusive cease-fire deal with Gaza’s Hamas militant group. Israel informed people in Gaza of the evacuation order by dropping leaflets.

"Jews would not have continued to come" implies #Jews came to #Palestine
That does not negate the fact that Jews also had a continuous presence on the land since pre-Biblical times
That also does not negate the fact that many were forcibly driven away at multiple times from wherever they settled ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111494007586354401
That also needs to be squared with #HamasCharter asserting rights of displaced #Palestinians to return but denying displaced Jews the same
