I cannot logically discuss Israel/Gaza with people who believe this atrocity began with Hamas war crimes on 10/7.

If you ignore a 60 year illegal military occupation, 700K illegal settlements, a two decade blockade, 7000 Palestinians indefinitely detained in Israeli prison w/o charge, 800 Palestinian children indefinitely detained in Israeli prison w/o charge & denied access to counsel or parents, & at least 240 Palestinians killed by IDF from 1/1-10/6/23—then you are not engaging in good faith

@QasimRashid I agree with you about these tangled underpinnings, and the ironic, tragic turn of Israel’s hawks to apartheid.

I wonder if we’re most effective in persuading others by ignoring that, and just acknowledging the brutal terrorism of Hamas’ actions on 10/7, instead focusing on Netanyahu’s current genocidal war crimes?
