Maybe it’s the way that you worded this, but I don’t understand what you mean.

I’m pretty sure that I’ve condemned what #Israel has done before, as I have never been a fan of their government. I’m not familiar with how they’ve treated the people of #Palestine in general, but I do know that they’re heavy-handed and decreasing democracy within the country, are authoritarian and to my knowledge oppress #LGBT people to some extent as well.

While I haven’t condemned much of what they’ve done following #Hamas’ attack against them, as I can understand why they’d do it and they have limited options when it comes to conquering the very grave and legitimate and immediate threat of #Hamas (although I am considering condemning their siege, and this morning noted that sieges are against the #GenevaConvention), I’ve also (softly, and made sure to say it’s just a theory since I have no evidence) repeatedly accused the state of allowing this attack to happen intentionally as a bid to either unify the nation around #BibiNetanyahu (which I have mentioned in direct parallel to how #GeorgeWBush got popular after the 9/11 attack, and pointed out this afternoon has happened as he got the major opposition party #NationalUnity to rally around him, who I presume either he or the state of #Israel has mistreated in their efforts to slowly snuff out the remaining lights of democracy in #Israel), or in order to justify more aggressive attacks against #Palestine, which I specifically called a “black mark” and something that, if true, they should be held accountable for once the war is over.

So there’s plenty of complain about when it comes to #Israel, even ignoring their land dispute with #Palestine. I admit that I am relatively ignorant and trying to learn more on my own, but even though I’d posit that #Israel is probably the best, most moral, most peaceful, and most democratic nation in the immediate region, they are still at the very least bad, if not awful, as a state, to the extent of which that no western society that values democracy and freedom should be supporting financially, at least without some very stringent conditions (which is something I have said since the violence happened), and I would advocate for the #USA pulling all support for #Israel entirely once the war is over and #Hamas is (hopefully) defeated.

All of that said, there is absolutely nothing that #Israel has done that justifies #Hamas’ escalations, at the very least, if not their attacks here.

Isn’t this old? Power in #Gaza officially ran out hours ago.

Hospitals still have enough power to run for four more days or so, off of independent generators.

What’s this in response to?

But nobody else wants them either.

Why

My guess would be, they’re too violent, or there are too many of them

People are passing along videos from other events and even videogames as things that are happening on the ground

I think this is the most reasonable thing I’ve ever heard you say, though it is put harshly, as usual 😂

But that would still leave the question of where should the Palestinians go. If they were to choose peace, staying wouldn’t be out of the picture but I hear that living conditions in the “open air prison” as I’ve heard it called aren’t that great.

One of my siblings asked me why I was listening to #MSM sources for news on the conflict between #Israel and #Palestine instead of listening to a #TwitterSpace run by a crypto scammer (I’m not joking)

Well, it’s because of stuff like this:

I’ll study that too, don’t worry. But I would like to look into the complaints of the Palestinians and see if there’s any validity there.

“If I vote for someone who’s not a front-runner, I’m throwing away my vote”

Yeah like your vote has more weight if you’re voting for the person everyone else is voting for 😂

Too tired to do the research I wanted to, but I think I have a macro timeline of #Israel v. #Palestine down based on that #HistoryChannel video I saw (which seems a bit silly, I know). But I want to get into the nitty gritty of details like:

Was there indeed no violence between the Jews and Muslims prior to the creation of the modern #Israel state by the #UN in 1948?

How did the Jews respond to the new declarations of territory by #Israel?

What percentage of Palestinians actually support #Hamas?

Did the Jews do anything to provoke the Palestinians before the first war started?

What justifications do both countries use for performing atrocities or perceived atrocities against the other side, and how valid are they? And how do these compare to the actions of other nations (such as the #USA nuking #Japan, for example)

Or I was just a dumb kid who didn’t understand the intricacies of politics at the time

Ive said for a few years now that cable news is the news for kids, maybe all of the #MSM is the same

It’s sad. I grew up listening to the man.

I need to stop listening to #MarkLevin, he’s agitprop

First it was shilling for #KevinMcCarthy, now it’s focusing on blaming #JoeBiden for the #USA’s role in funding #Hamas’ terror attack against #Israel, and pointing fingers are radical anti #Israel and antisemitic protesters

Like, sure, yes we have caused this to an extent, but shouldn’t you be focused on the horrors happening overseas? The lives lost on both sides? Especially when your show airs during the daylight hours of #Israel.

I can’t think of a time I’ve tuned into the man over the past week where he wasn’t pushing an “us vs. them” narrative.

Which #nostr users have been sharing news about what’s happening in #Israel? Haven’t seen them in my federated feed yet (I’m on the #Fediverse), and the #Fediverse seems to be more interested in arguing about which side is in the right here than talking about what’s actually going on right now.

So I will probably be studying #Israel vs. #Palestine tomorrow, anybody have good (hopefully unbiased) sources of info?

Came across this video which seems to quote #Wikipedia a lot, which I was actually thinking of using for sources, but a) I’m not sure if he’s using framing, or is accurately representing #Wikipedia’s facts or POV and b) I’m not sure if #Wikipedia’s articles on the subject aren’t biased themselves.

Seems like a reason approach

I root for #Israel on the sidelines but if the #Israel government doesn’t shape up and their people don’t turn to God, I wouldn’t be shocked if God sends them more hardships.

#Egypt should accept them, although they are not doing so AFAIK

If they’re muslim

Don’t know what you’re getting at with the first question, but the last two are very valid.
