🏳️🌈🖖🏽It is not anti-Israeli to condemn Benjamin Netanyahu. It is, in fact, pro-democracy and pro-peace to do so.
Graylynn@georgetakei it's not anti-Israel to condemn the war and stand up for Palestine either, though the US would certainly have you believe it is. The right to defend one's self does not extend a right to genocide.
Mike@nesi @georgetakei I guess you’re ok with beheading and burning babies? Ya let’s just let them get away with that. They need to vacate at once or pay

@gavinisdie @amazimike @georgetakei Absolutely. The truth is, freedom for Palestine is two fold and should include freedom from both Israel and Hamas.
Being Pro-Palestine is not being pro-Hamas or anti-Israel. And it is not wrong to be against the actions of the Israel government and military, either.
@amazimike @georgetakei Whataboutism is an invalid argument. You've missed the point, and you seem to have consumed pop media without scrutiny.
The attack of Hamas is undeniably an atrocity -- no one here has suggested otherwise, that came form you and you alone. But Israel has killed 4000+ civilians, 35% of them children, and this is also unacceptable. That is a war crime, plain and simple.
There are not many "wars" where one simply turns off the water and power. That's called genocide.

Your toot is the answer to my question:
"Siri and Alexa, show me a toot that's the epitome of bigotry and moral corruption."
As to anyone with the same traits:
I hope you get to experience your own medicine.

>. They need to vacate at once or pay
Vacate to... where? The grave?
"Pay" - the vast majority of people living the in Gaza Strip are desperately poor people who knew nothing about this attack before it happened, very many of whom are children.
Advocating for making a civilian population "pay" for the actions of a small number of criminals is morally wrong.
@amazimike @nesi @georgetakei do not forget that Hamas still hold hostages, including ten U.S citizens. Their lives are at risk with every bomb Israel drops.
ኢራ עירא Ira عيرا 🍓🎗️@nesi @georgetakei if anyone is bent on genocide here it's Hamas, it's officially high olup there in their manifesto. Yes, Israel has extremists and useful idiots who want ethnic cleansing, but it's less mainstream than anti-immigrant sentiments in the GOP.
Finally, if I may add, it's definitely not anti Palestinian to condemn Hamas, a terror org for over 30 years ever before this gruesome massacre, who also killed and maimed thousands of Palestinians in Gaza themselves.
@I @nesi @georgetakei do you honestly believe Israel, with their world renowned security forces, didn’t know about the Hamas attack?? Think about it…
@LexiGirl @nesi @georgetakei I could not stop thinking about it for the last two weeks. it was a devastating combination of hubris, techno-optimism and a set of really bad politic and financial policies going down from Bibi to the intelligence community to the boots on the ground' that's why it has been such a horrible event. I am lucky nobody in my first and second circle died, but friends and family lost many people. communities were decimated. We were betrayed by our own government.
If you think Israel‘s reaction to the 7/10 attack is genocide, I‘m afraid you either don’t understand what a genocide is or you fell victim to Hamas propaganda.
@EyalD @nesi @georgetakei Presenting some sort of logical or rational argument instead of insults would help us better evaluate your statement, which absent any reasoning, seems to be obviously false.
