We’ve been an evil empire for a while now. A long history of wars, coups, and foreign intervention. It’s a lot more visible in the internet age and the propoganda machine isnt working like it used to.

They’re both part of the owning class. The only difference is degrees

You should be mad at billionaires and landlords, not other working people.

There are not many things that make me irrationally angry… Fucking with my glasses is one of them.

Fascism is truly a death cult

Absolute demon shit.

I love her

If they aren’t occupiers…

Why doesn’t Gaza have an airport? (it was destroyed in 2002 and not allowed to rebuild)

What happens when Gazan’s go too far off the coast? (they get shot)

What happens when they go past the border wall? (they get shot)

But sure, maybe you like the term “under seige” better? Is that more accurate for you?

Social media, not western news agencies. The news is highly biased toward Israel even if the people generally aren’t falling for it.

Please tell me you think it’s justified to hold a child in prison for years for throwing a rock at a tank. Oh, or maybe they illegally walked on the wrong side of the road in the west bank. I really want to hear this.

They act as a mediator for Israel to fund Hamas.

Not saying they’ve never given any of their own money to the governing body of a destitute open air prison, but that wouldn’t be unique to them.

The hostage deal was negotiated by Qatar, the Hamas leadership is living in luxury in Qatar

You’re spelling out how they’re acting like a neutral party here.

Qatar is seeking to gain more influence in the future of Gaza.

It’s a destitute open air prison. Come on now.

Is this really the right moment to blindly trust the Qatar state owned news source with its reporting about a Qatar negotiated deal related to a conflict that Qatar has a vested interest in?

I don’t blindly trust their reporting. It was one search result. Most of the details on Israeli actions and policy come straight from Israeli sources like B’Tselem.

Is it not true? You could tell me that with something backing it instead of complaining about a reputable source.

Recognized as a non-member observer state, and the countries actively oppressing them currently do not.

The same ones that hand-wring endlessly about a “two state solution”.

Why not? They’re a great source unless they’re reporting on something related to Qatar’s own government / interests.

Palestinians would love to be recognized as a state. Why aren’t they?

Many Palestinian prisoners aren’t charged with crimes and have “secret evidence” held against them. Given Israel’s track record of lying and colonialist activity, I’ll leave you to decide if they actually do have that evidence. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/5/2/more-than-600-palestinians-held-by-israel-without-charge-or-trial

On top of that, the vast majority of the actual crimes are incredibly minor like rock throwing, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a child. The conditions and treatment in Israel prisons for Palestinians is incredibly grim as well.

There’s a thin vaneer of an unjust legal framework, and the aims of Israel aren’t as explicit to hold them for trade, but they’re a whole lot closer to being hostages than most people care to admit.

I want to imagine the real world would freak the fuck out the way some objects in a game engine do when you mash them together.

Bold of them given what’s been happening to any press living in Gaza

History didn’t start on Oct 7th

The fact that this nearly didn’t read as satire is alarming.
