Can we add a 3rd truth that hamas is a death cult that has no place in today’s world. I like all 3 things equally

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 38 points 2 months ago

only if there’s a fourth truth held also equally that hamas only exists due to the obscene conditions israel has created which also have no place in today’s world yet have been funded by some of the most wealthy nations, thereby entangling the web of both israeli and palestinian blood across generations decades and borders :)

Nope. Israel and the international community gave the Palestinians an opportunity to build industry and improve their conditions and live peacefully. They gave billions and billions for this purpose without restriction (apart from military - which as history shows, appears warranted). The Palestinian people voted in Hamas who had a mandate to destroy Israel - from what I can tell is based in religious fundamentalism. Instead of building their economy and educating their population they used the money to build tunnels and pay for thousands of rockets to be fired into Israel. This was a terrible choice and there’s no denying it was a gamble on the Palestinians behalf. One that if it payed off and went to plan (as was in their mandate) would have slowly lead to the destruction of Israel. Bad gamble. Didn’t pay off, the Palestinians have to accept voting in a government who said they will destroy Israel and then consistently carrying out that plan, has at least in some large part lead them to their current circumstances.

On a similar note. Why has there been no talk of how Benjamin Netanyahu was about to go to prison for corruption - then he tried to destroy the checks and balances on government. Then he got caught knowingly funding hamas’s October 7 attack. Clearly all to hold onto power yet no one talks about this anymore?

No

And what an irony that you blame all of that on Palestine, but then also complain about the man who made sure to disrupt the people who wanted peace.

It’s only irony if you realize that what I am saying is that neither side is right or innocent. Both sides have expressed their shitty nature. Pretending one side is right does an injustice to those on both sides who actually are innocent and willing to bargain in good faith.

This user is a victim of propaganda.

And #4 that a people under brutal occupation has a right to resist, even armed resistance?

[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Which part of Palestinian combatants being joined by non combatants and then invading and murdering and kidnapping 1200 civilians is considered “resisting.”

Most likely by design. It annoys me that this doesn’t get brought up everyday

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Also not mentioned too much is how Egypt and the other Muslim nations refuse to help or take people in from Gaza.

[-] TronBronson@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Ya never ever bring up that annoying little fact. Most of their neighbors would refuse them entrance. And a lot of of them are happy to arm them and fund the extremist behavior. It’s almost like the whole world is involved in this little proxy war! A microcosm of WW3

[-] head_socj@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

Why does it have to be Muslim countries?

[-] Ferretyfever0 4 points 2 months ago

They're geographically closer for one thing. They have a shared faith, this war is a rather relugious one. They shouldn't be the only countries accepting refugees, but they should certainly be among them.

[-] head_socj@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

Thank you for providing a thoughtful response.

Why does it have to be Muslim countries?

[-] JannusAri@lemmings.world 4 points 2 months ago

Only if we add in recognition that Hamas would not without Israel. You can kill two birds with one stone.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I got banned from a .blahaj community for saying "hamas bad" for, I quote, "Genocide apologia".

Some peep here are literal extremists.
