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 @MnemosyneSinger I’m not comfortable with this framing, as it completely ignores a *long* history of Palestinian extremist terrorist acts. We can discuss whether they were justified or not, but I can’t pretend they didn’t happen, and there’s a very long list. (1/2)

That said, Netanyahu must go, and Palestinians and Israelis must be forced into a solution. I’m sure neither will like it, but the violence must end completely and on both sides. The world can’t afford for this centuries-old conflict to continue. (2/2)
