I haven’t seen any swastikas at pro-Palestinian demonstrations here, but that’s pretty shitty.
However, you said “Now you have Palestinian/Hamas supporters” as if all Palestinians are Hamas. I have no malice towards Jewish people whatsoever, but I do believe the occupation is illegal. This talk of leveling Gaza, and demonizing democrats for suggesting that Palestinians should have the right to life and liberty etc is disturbing. It’s really the same as holding up a nazi flag. You’re calling for the subjugation of a race of people.
What Hamas did was evil, full stop. I’m good with wiping out Hamas. I’m not sure how Hamas can ethically fight an occupation though to be honest, especially when it’s backed by the world’s superpowers. Better to be a victim than to become as evil as your opponent I suppose. Turn the other cheek and all that. Sucks for them.
You guys want your guns to fight tyranny, yet you cheer on tyranny being committed against someone else. Imagine the Mexican military trying to annex Texas back, and there being no US military to stop it. Imagine a Texan being thrown out of his home and having a Mexican family move in. Picture that scenario and tell me how it ends. You don’t think some gangs of Texans would form and do some horrible things? Not excusing it, but it’s basically inevitable, and has a clear cause.
Again, Hamas (not Palestinians) can go to hell. They gave away their claim to the moral high ground. Israel and the UN, supported by the US, started this though. Israel needs to admit they are occupiers, and make a plan to restore the land to the Palestinian people, and beg/pay for a piece of it, not take it through genocide.
Edited to fix spelling
Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful under international law due to its permanence and the Israeli government’s de facto annexation policies, a UN-appointed Commission of Inquiry said in its first report, published on Thursday.
