[Karla Cabello]

[nostalgic]

"Isreal" 

[Both Sides Now]

Man who chained up and beat a sex worker offers his opinions on human rights

[mercurialworld]

"Isreal" okay grandpa lets get you to bed

[LittleStarmen]

Why do people feel they need to take a stand as if their thoughts would change anything?

[HEAVYONIT]

I mean, why is there a problem with saying this? I am completely pro-Palestinian state, but what Hamas has done is inexcusable. There is no justification for violence on either side. 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Good. 

[Dreajae]

Someone please post the chart comparison of casualties throughout this whole ordeal.

nice pfp habibi

[Yellowfever]

I thought he was dead 

[A.R.L]

Look, I AM against violence on both sides against all living things, but how is that different from what Israel is doing to Palestinian children, women and the elderly? As long as I can't stand violence on both sides, I also can't stand hypocrisy.

ATRL losing their minds seeing people who aren’t terminally online show examples of normal behavior

Because Palestinian death rates have stood at 12x to 20x that of Israeli death rates since the start of Israel's occupation (as another user showed above).

 

Of course civilians dying is horrific, but what does the language say when Palestinian civilians are erased from the mass apartheid regime that has been occurring for decades now? 

 

We even see this in the language of Western media. Israelis are "killed"; Palestinians simply magically become "dead".

 

Israelis are victims to "being shot"; Palestinians "received bullet wounds".

He claims to care about children and then stands with... Israel? As in the country that turned Gaza into an open-air prison? The country that killed over 60 children during the May '21 offensive alone? The country that, at one point, used children as human shields? The country that arrests 700+ Palestinian children every year? That country?

 

Or do Palestinian children (or women or elderly people) simply not exist in his mind?

I mean spell Israel correctly at least

[Communion]

Also his opinion really isn't even worthwhile - he's a centrist liberal whose only mentions of Palestine in the past have been condemning the idea of protesting Israeli apartheid and "letting those things be handled by governments".

 

There's an incongruence Western liberals still have yet to come to terms with about their reasonable rejection of the needless violence that comes with war, but then also living in countries who fund Israel's apartheid regime and thus being indoctrinated to a mass media campaign that cultural protests or calls for conditional aid or even sanctions are themselves somehow also a form of violence or a showing of antisemitism.

 

Did "the magical healing force of music" help stop tens of thousands of Palestinians from being murdered by the Israeli government in the span of when he made this comment to now 5 years later? Is peace brought about via militancy or protest? The answer can't be "well neither when it inconvenience me!".

 

"Say no to violence!" is the correct stance, but people like him ultimately support apartheid despite saying otherwise when they then also condemn non-violent protests and reject being responsible for the role of their governments in apartheid.

Good

 

Not all of us will be bullied by social media into changing our beliefs. I can really understand how a holocaust can happen now - nobody thinks for themselves, they just go with the group. Social media has made it so much worse

Launching an attack on almost 1,000 innocent civilians isn’t the way to get your point across. Now, things are truly only going to get worse for Palestine. Tbh, I would bet this was provoked by Russia to Iran as retaliation for US assistance in Ukraine. Russia just wants to poke the bear and create global-wide crisis to distract from the atrocities in Ukraine, and I’ll stand by that opinion. 

[State of Grace.]

Ahhhh yes! The "I support peace and I'm against children dying.....unless they're Palestinians" stance
