One year after:

If you think Netanyahu is a thug, I agree.

Mowing down whatever children happen to be in the way without remorse:
"We mustn't get discouraged over every little thing."

If you can't condemn Hamas over Oct 7, you have no claim on humanity.

@BurrLand01

that's the thing that bothers me most about #gaza:

you can condemn #netanyahu without embracing #hamas

you can condemn hamas without embracing netanyahu

that's the only moral position

condemn hamas *and* netanyahu's govt

anyone glorifying hamas or netanyahu in anger at the other has devolved into the empty tribalism that drives the violence

for #palestine and #israel, #muslims and #jews, condemn *both* parasites feeding off people with violence: netanyahu's govt and hamas

@benroyce @BurrLand01

The problem is religious conservatives on both sides.

@troy_frizzell @BurrLand01

exactly

they are parasites

their continued existence depends upon continued violence

when #hamas mass murders, netanyahu wins

when #netanyahu mass murders, hamas wins

caught between the parasites are regular #palestinians #israelis #lebanese. who want to live in peace but are murdered to grow religious, tribal, and extremist madness, and #geopolitical agendas feed the carnage

innocents in the #levant are murdered for the goals of #theofascism and #ethnofascism

@benroyce @troy_frizzell @BurrLand01
That's true, except there's a neverending supply of Hamas and only 1 Netanyahu -tho he speaks for many.

At this point Hamas seems more like a bogieman because they're all being slaughtered anyway. What Palestinian wouldn't choose to fight back?

And now the mandatory disclaimer
I don't support or want Hamas. I recognize that the Palestinian People are being exterminated and they have limited options.

@nosmaharba @troy_frizzell @BurrLand01

#hamas is a parasite on #gaza. they don't want peace, they want to murder

this rewards #netanyahu (used as a alias for #rightwing #israel), who wants to murder #palestinians

which in turn rewards hamas

etc

you could say "at this point Netanyahu is a bogieman because they're all being slaughtered anyway. What Israeli wouldn't choose to fight back?"

see?

it's bullshit excuses for an endless vortex of violence, feeding itself

the solution is two states
