Every time the Israeli-Palestinian conflict flares up, we are asked to pretend that this is new, this is unprecedented, the government of Israel has done everything it can, that Israel suffers the worst, and the burden of peace falls on the hopeless, destitute, and severely oppressed Palestinian people.

The government of Israel can stop this bloodshed anytime it wants. It doesn't want to. It wants to squeeze the Palestinians out of existence and it expects them to simply roll over and die.

@gwynnion The actions of Hamas are simply those of a people who have been given no other option.

@pileofgarbage @gwynnion Palestine today reminds me of Finland in WW2, they had no other option than to side with the bad guys

@gavinisdie @gwynnion Well it shouldn't because that's insane. Maybe do some more reading about the actual conflict we're talking about. Unless you're here to just try and do a Nazi thing then fuck off.

@pileofgarbage @gwynnion I wasn't trying to support Nazis, I was just trying to compare a modern situation to one from history, I'm sorry if I offended you (Not sarcastic because I know actual nazis say sorry sarcastically)

@gavinisdie @gwynnion The Palestinians, be they Hamas or independent, never sided with the bad guys. They chose life over oppression, subjugation, displacement and death. This isn't the first time they've made that choice and it wont be the last. The only "bad guy" in this situation is the state of Israel, and there is not a single Palestinian who is siding with them.
