It’s complicated.
I want to genocide Palestinians but I know that it’s evil to genocide Palestinians my emotions are very complicated right now please have some sympathy.
It’s always complicated when the Adults In The Room that Make The Hard Decisions have to Get Shit Done, just like in the Prestige TV treats.
The day when a Zionist settler manages to explain exactly how the situation is complicated the sun would have risen from the west.
“It’s complicated because although the Jews were a minority in Palestine after WW2, we can’t ignore the many Jews living there now”. Paraphrasing from something I heard on TV.
From working with non-zionist (but still pretty liberal) Israelis the main complication from their point of view was that the loudest, most aggressive voices on each side now dominate the conversation, and it won’t matter who’s in the right or wrong until they’re quieted and the people who want a peaceful resolution on each side can work on one without someone trying to blow them up. See also: Oslo Accords.
From also working with Zionist Israeli children, the main complication for Zionist Israelis is that they’re constantly told that they’re special and more important than other people, but now they’ve grown up they’re not allowed to say that out loud. There were two in particular that got aggy whenever they weren’t given preferential treatment, and told their leader I was antisemitic because I wouldn’t let them skip cleaning when we had tasks they didn’t like.
“You libs don’t understand; we’ve oppressed them as hard as we can oppress any living creature and it hasn’t worked, what else are we supposed to do if not outright genocide?”
Seriously, going back to life as it was before the Hamas attack is just choosing bad over worse; the ‘international’ (Western) community needs to demand human rights and make it clear that people are going to be getting tried for war crimes on both sides (while respecting right of resistance).
Just reading the pinned post on r/worldnews makes me recoil with the unending racism, genocide denial and the cheering of the killings. I wonder if most of the Westoids are just so far gone or purely evil.
Worldnews is miles worse than even any other subreddit. I have literally never seen a more astroturfed space. Other places on reddit go from neutral to being banned in Germany for having “from the river to the sea” as a banner
