George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza as part of its campaign to stamp out Hamas terrorism. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. It is what my community once endured in World War II, all because of the actions of others who happened to share our ethnicity. Have we learned nothing? How will this possibly help deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.
Maffia@georgetakei Israel need to stop all flow in and out of Gaza. Hamas is responsible for this. Ask yourself why you are not angry with Hamas that is doing this
Breck Beatie@maffia @georgetakei Mr. Takei never said he wasn't "angry with Hamas." He has described the attack as an a atrocity and depraved. I don't understand why you'd try to mischaracterize his position.
@Breck @georgetakei the atrocity is a consequence of Hamas actions
@maffia @georgetakei Uh, yes? What's your point?
@Breck @georgetakei Israel have no blame, they do what they must
@maffia @georgetakei Agree to disagree. Their actions (and the actions of the US Government) over the last several decades aren't making things better. Maybe there's another way.
@Breck @georgetakei not from Israel's point of view. Jews don't like being killed. But fascists you like do
localzuk@maffia @Breck @georgetakei punishing innocent people for the actions of others is not going to solve anything. It's a war crime for one. It generates even more hate for another.
@localzuk @Breck @georgetakei 800 innocent are dead because Israel where too soft on Gaza and let Hamas get weapons. If Israel had been mere oppressive Hamas couldn't get weapon. It seems like you want Hamas to kill civilians
@localzuk @Breck @georgetakei genocide is when innocent die. Killing Hamas is not genocide. Blockade a country so they don't buy weapons is not genocide.
@maffia @Breck @georgetakei NOT ALL PALESTINIANS ARE HAMAS.
There are 2 million people in the Gaza strip. Hamas is but a tiny fraction.
@localzuk @Breck @georgetakei Hamas could win an election. They are not tiny. They are backed by Russia and iran
@maffia @Breck @georgetakei of course, they win the elections! The elections are not free and fair!
When you've got a bunch of military nut jobs going round ordering you to vote a certain way, what're you gong to do?
