Lately my #Israel - #Palestine posts seem to attract #zionnists either claiming it's "complicated" or even flat out saying my posts are antisemitic. Just so you know, I'm not the least bit fooled. There's nothing antisemitic about calling Israel's actions for what they are: a #genocide

If it's Ukraine, Russia is clearly the aggressor. So what is Israel then? Some classic double standards happening in #Europe

@stuffifound The main difference is that Ukraine did not attack Russia. Hamas did attack Israel. In either case nothing excuses the mass murder of civilians that was perpetrated. But in the case of Ukraine I would say that it is more outrageous since Ukraine was a peaceful innocent country that was not threatening anybody...other than Putin's fragile ego.
Resisting 75 years of illegal occupation and land theft is not an "attack", it's an expression of the internationally-recognized right to self determination and the closely related right of resistance.
@psithurism You cannot deny the atrocities committed on October 7th. There is no excuse for that sorry. Hamas knew what they were doing. They knew they would trigger a disproportionate reaction from Israel that they could use against them later. Hamas is evil. Netanyahu is evil. That's why they all have arrest warrants from the ICC.
@graybeard85@universeodon.com you cannot deny the atrocities committed in the 75 years before 7 October 2023. Israel knew what they were doing. They knew they would trigger a reaction from Palestine that they could use against them later. Israel is evil. Netanyahu is evil. Pretending this conflict started in October 2023 is completely denying Palestinians' basic human rights, and therefore, evil.
I can't deny the 'atrocities' which were committed by indigenous Americans against settlers trying to steal their land and erase their people. I can't deny the 'atrocities' committed during Nat Turner's slave rebellion as he fought to gain freedom for his people. I can't deny the 'atrocities' committed in the struggle to free South Africa from apartheid colonial rule. To the contrary, I recognize all of them, and I wish none of them were necessary. But they were, and I condemn none of them.
I do, however, condemn feckless liberals who equate resisting the erasure of your people with committing the erasure of a people. Do with that information what you will.
Hamas didn't attack Israel, Israel attacked Palestine and Hamas responded. Hamas attacked Israel just as much as Ukraine attacked Russia in Kursk.

@stuffifound I'm sorry but I think the situation in Palestine is more complicated than that. Reading the timeline below I find it very difficult to take sides. Both sides made mistakes and committed outrageous war crimes. It's more similar to the war in Bosnia. The war in Ukraine is a completely different situation.

And this is precisely what this meme is about. White countries: outrage. Muslim countries: very difficult to take sides. You're even naming another predominantly Muslim country to underline it. Classic!
@stuffifound I did not name Bosnia because it's Muslim. I named it because in the conflict there all the sides committed atrocities...
