“‘Palestine 36’ is a potent reminder that the blueprint for #Israel's depraved #WarCrimes in #Gaza were laid down by a #British #empire whose #tyranny the Palestinians tried - and failed - to end”

“Palestine 36 is stirring, thought-provoking and devastating. It examines the roots of the bloody conflict still playing out today. This is a rare film that has been made with profound moral courage”

The common and deeper meaning to all was that #Israel’s enemies needed to be protected from the consequences of THEIR defeat in the wars THEY initiated and LOST.
It’s notable that this doesn’t seem to have happened in #Arab-#Israeli wars where #eliminationism didn’t feature in the rhetoric or the stated motivations—#Suez in 1956, #YomKippur in 1973, the #FirstIntifada wars in #Lebanon.
But it certainly happened in the wars that began in 1947, 1967, & 2000

⬆️ Not #whataboutism but correct response to your #grievance:
>> If #media cared…about "both sides" & objectivity… we would be better informed about what is going on in #Gaza & #WestBank
You WANT #bothsidesism, not true reporting. Media IS biased, but in the OPPOSITE direction to what you claim.
Since #FirstIntifada, I've never seen coverage of #causeAndEffect, only the effect, which is plight of #Palestinians

>> A regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This is apartheid
Have you been living under a rock through the #FirstIntifada and #SecondIntifada, particularly the latter?
>> we are somehow supposed to support Jewish claims to the land based on the Torah and therefore we should be okay with the massive displacement, murder, and pillage that characterized the formation of the state of Israel?
