As the media slants reportage on #Gaza as usual and pushes the false equivalence of oppressor #Israel with the Palestinians it oppresses and from whom it steals, here's three points to remember. https://bdsmovement.net/news/on-violence-clashes-between-palestinians-and-apartheid-israel #BDS #ApartheidIsrael
On “Violence” and “clashes” between Palestinians and Apartheid Israel

Most mainstream media outlets are parroting apartheid Israel’s propaganda morally equating the violence of the nuclear-powered oppressor with the resistance of the oppressed.

@Jinjirrie Violence is not the way to peace. Dialogue is. The current actions by Hamas will lead to their destruction. The civilians will suffer, as always.
@xs4me2 Apartheid Israel and its pernicious Western enablers do not permit "dialogue". Israel continues to steal, oppress and genocide regardless. The boot is not interested in a conversation about justice with the neck it crushes.

@Jinjirrie

The hate is drenched into every small vessel of both parties. Violence like this is not the solution. Yes, the Israelian occupation of more and more land and the suppression of the Palestinians is wrong. This action by Hamas will lead however only to more bloodshed, nothing else.
It's a suicide plan.

@xs4me2 Equivocation between oppressor and oppressed is not the answer. Israel will shed more blood regardless. Israel requires sanctioning for its war crimes and to be hauled up in court at the Hague. Palestinians want their right to return to their lands. #BDS #Israel
@Jinjirrie It will not happen like this, so much is clear. There will be more fugitives and that is it.
@Jinjirrie @xs4me2 My greatest fear now, as a result of 'being caught of guard' on land, sea & air, is that Netanyahu will 'mow the lawn' like never seen before. I'm so afraid for all Palestinians and what's to come from the State of Israel. #FreePalestine #israelisapartheid #israeligenocide

@Amaru_Ca @Jinjirrie

It is an extremely pointless move by Hamas. And a godsend opportunity for would-be dictator Netanyahu...

@xs4me2 @Jinjirrie I do not support Hamas or their actions
I oppose war and violence
This didn't start with yesterday's attacks by Hamas
It may appear that Hamas is either very stupid or very naive to have done this, but I doubt either of these are the issue

A dictatorship isn't needed
Netanyahu is a genocidal monster, but the govt is controlled by many others who would do and have done the same, with or without the excuse of Hamas.

@Amaru_Ca @Jinjirrie Its a bloody mess… hate, anger, revenge, an endless and pointless loop… innocent people on both sides crushed…
@xs4me2 @Jinjirrie 1) Yes, a bloody mess, every day for 6 decades in Palestine, and especially devastating in the last 2.
Illegal occupation, oppression, apartheid and genocide harms those on both sides, but vastly more to those living under it, in the largest open air prison, where vital resources like water are regularly cut off and as of 2 days ago in Gaza, electricity too.
@xs4me2 @Jinjirrie 2) Imagine living with the fear of missile strikes in one of the most densely populated places on earth with all power cut. Hospitals without electricity. Water pumps can't pump water, if they're allowed access. No Internet. Israel is cutting off Gaza as they bomb. Its cruelty beyond belief
The warfare is far more than just asymmetrical. And tbh, any insinuation of both siding this, even now, is deeply upsetting.
