I already have emailed my MP. Unfortunately she's a Tory and just spouted the party line back at me about Israel having a right to defend itself. I replied that cutting off food & water & restricting humanitarian aid isn't targeting Hamas & its targeting everyone in Gaza. I haven't heard back from her. Hamas was probably prepared & had stockpiles so its much more targeting civilians.

@AutisticMumTo3 @Mary625 @QasimRashid when they quote the ‘Israel has a right to defend itself’ - the answer to that is ‘& why doesn’t Palestine have the same right?’

@MaryD @AutisticMumTo3 @Mary625 @QasimRashid you tell me... Which side invaded the other and kidnapped and is still keeping hostages?

Have the Palestinians released all of the abducted Israeli hostages?

That seems like something which might be worth calling for first, no?

@amoshiashwili @MaryD @AutisticMumTo3 @[email protected] @QasimRashid israel literally was inserted into Palestinian land and has taken over more and more over decades. Israel is the occupiers who have stolen homes from Palestinians. Insane that you see Hamas's latest activity as "an invasion" happening in some kind of vacuum and not a predictable result of the obvious apartheid state the Palestinians live under.

Not to mention that NOT ALL PALESTINIANS ARE HAMAS!!!!

Me: a month ago commandos raided Israel, murdering, raping, and kidnapping. More than a hundred Israeli are still hostages. I don't understand how you expect the violence to stop until Hamas releases its hostages.

You: BUT EIGHTY YEARS AGO!

Let's pretend every single claim you make is historically true. How many rapes does that justify?

Rapes are wrong. What Hamas did was wrong. But the context does matter as amongst other things it drives over reactions such as cutting off food & water supplies & restricting humanitarian aid to Gaza targeting every single person including babies in Gaza. It also explains why many Palestinians hate Israelis & partly influences why this will be a rallying cry for Hamas. etc, etc.

@AutisticMumTo3 @amoshiashwili @MaryD @[email protected] @QasimRashid except it isn't "80 years ago," so that isn't what I said. What I said is REPEATEDLY & CONSISTENTLY FOR 80 YEARS ON END. I'm not buying your fucking pearl-clutching. The statistics, the history, the FACTS, place Israel solidly as the aggressor, not hapless victims "defending themselves" from random terrorism. & it was majorly caused because Europeans couldn't figure out what to do about Jews & didn't care what happened to Muslims.

@AutisticMumTo3 @amoshiashwili @MaryD @[email protected] @QasimRashid was 9/11 tragiv & unjust? Yes. Obviously. Was it also an increasingly likely outcome from US activity in the Middle East? Probably. Did it justify killing MILLIONS of Arabs over the span of 20 years. FUCKING NO! Did abusing this revenge plot make terrorism 10x worse & contribute directly to the rise of ISIS? YES. In very tangible ways, just like Al-Qaeda & THE TALIBAN. How do you not see a pattern that needs to be desperately avoided???

@AutisticMumTo3 @amoshiashwili @MaryD @[email protected] @QasimRashid like you have to know that it's really weird for you to be turning this into "you either support israel killing kids or you support Hamas killing kids" (which is literally Bush rhetoric to justify an illegal war on terror), when the clearly correct answer is that we should be addressing the contributing factors in all such violence & maybe stop fucking each other up & playing stupid power games entirely so kids stop getting blown up.

@AutisticMumTo3 @amoshiashwili @MaryD @[email protected] @QasimRashid The way you stop getting Hamas is by building a better world, which we kind of all have to share. We only have the one. People get radicalized when they feel desperate, which is why the 9/11 wars created more terrorism instead of eliminating them, like Israel now thinks it can do for some reason. Even if they successfully destroy Hamas by killing every Palestinian, they'll have Hezbollah, who Russia & Iran are happy to fund like Hamas.

I totally agree. Because Zionists like Netanyu believe they have a God given right to all the land covered by that phrase that must never be spoken (which includes Gaza) I suspect its more about eliminating Palestinians to take the land without any Palestinians on it. Eliminating Hamas is an excuse to do what they really want as they refuse to listen to anyone pointing stuff like that out.

@AutisticMumTo3 @amoshiashwili @MaryD @[email protected] @QasimRashid i think you're right. And the open & explicit celebrations of genocide by certain high profile israelies is not helping their "its self defense! UwU" case. There is just no world where killing 10,000 people in a month while cutting off their food, water, medical care, bombing their hospitals & all their universities, & blacking out their internet & phone connectivity is a reasonable reaction to 1400 dead & 300 alive hostages.

@itsmeholland @AutisticMumTo3 @amoshiashwili @MaryD @Mary625 @QasimRashid What would be a reasonable reaction of Gaza-strip ruling Hamas be like, seeing their fellow-Gazans suffering from lack of water, food, fuel, medicine & more, while Hamas is hoarding such supplies sufficient for at least four months, but refusing to give them to their own people in dire need for those?
What would be a reasonable reaction from the Egyptian side, which initially closed the Rafah border crossing - for good reason: Because they accurately designated Hamas a terrorist organization, funded by the sponsors of terrorism & notorious women-beaters in Tehran.

@ArenaCops @AutisticMumTo3 @amoshiashwili @MaryD @[email protected] @QasimRashid i don't think I have to be capable of singlehandedly solving the multiple decades-to-centuries-old crises in Palestine and the Middle East at large or with terrorism in general within a few 500 character posts to know that murdering 10,000 people and openly planning genocide isn't it. But Israel and the West have a responsibility to carefully consider the available evidence and try LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE for once.

@ArenaCops @AutisticMumTo3 @amoshiashwili @MaryD @[email protected] @QasimRashid like do you honestly believe the war on terror was a rational and effective response to 9/11, that it made the world or even just the Middle East or even any part of the fucking US better, or even that there was simply no other conceivable way multiple governments run by adult human beings could have come up with to handle the problem? Because I do not, because no evidence indicates it has, & it's happening again right now.

@ArenaCops @AutisticMumTo3 @amoshiashwili @MaryD @[email protected] @QasimRashid & even if you want to wring your hands about Hamas, it would be irresponsible to overlook the fact that they were funded & empowered by Israel to suppress a secular more liberal Palestinian movement which Israel liked even less. Just like the West with the Taliban, just like Al-Qaeda, just like ISIS. But no, of course, we should keep doing the same thing over & over, surely it won't bite us in the ass again this time. /s
