Sis, we get it. Israeli attacks are justified and provoked, Palestinian attacks are unjustified and unprovoked. Oh yeah and both are equivalent in scale too.

Your post doesn’t seem to indicate so, especially the bit with things that were never said. I guess your lack of comprehension skills might be contagious! Edited March 21, 2023 by ProudLBS

You're a privileged European expat often vacationing in Israel who thinks it is meaningful to state you have no sympathies for Palestinians because you personally encountered a singular instance of violence, even when for every one (1) instance of violence committed by a Palestinian, we factually know that there are then ten (10) instances of Israeli violence against Palestinians, and that Israeli violence is both state-sponsored and far more powerful. That you don't care about this imbalance, and have no hesitations promoting race essentialism, is the exact thing that is causing more and more Americans - Israel's largest financial supporter - to view Israel as the instigator and not the victim in this situation - and your doubling-down shows a lack of self-awareness. You could easily blame the government and argue that the far-right forces that lead Israeli do not represent some theoretical median, and yet, you... don't. You don't do any distancing. You just go "as if I'll feel bad for those ANIMALS!". And then wonder why the Israeli government has fewer and fewer allies. It's always funny to me when they pretend like they speak from an objective and nonbiased point of view when in reality anyone that has even the tiniest grasp on the situation understands that people like them just operate from a deeply anti-Palestinian racist place. It's almost scary how blind and orientalist they are with it. Every time there is a thread here that has a Palestinian matter in it, they come through flaunting their ignorant whataboutism thinking they're stimulating an honest discussion when they're just spewing racism They exposed their bias and sheer racism many times. Like when the IDF murdered Shireen Abu Akleh in plain sight and that member RAN to assure everyone that it was actually a "barbaric Palestinian" blindly shooting that accidentally killed her and that there's no way Israel would do such thing and that we're basically dumb for believing that only to be severely and embarrassingly proven wrong by every single investigation carried (incl. the US'). Their attitude/stance on the Shireen Abu Akleh case perfectly exposed their bias on the bigger picture in regard to this whole issue. Racist. Edited March 21, 2023 by Jjang
