Calls to mind the people repeatedly bringing up that Palestinians voted in Hamas (16 years ago and without being allowed an election since) as than Israeli’s didn’t just vote in a government with far right extremists and a leader friendly with Putin last year.

They did a poll in the west bank a fews years ago and they would win there by a landslide too. Palestinians want Hamas, proof is in the pudding. cupcake. Almost like religious fundamentalism is rampant in the Arab world.

Yeah man I don't have a child's brain so I don't think the world can be painted as intrinsically "Evil and Not Evil", especially something as complex and twisted as the middle east.

I like how your account was dormant for ~three years until you got the green light opportunity to spray Islamophobic hate-jizz all over this thread.

Just say you hate brown people dude, you have the social license again like it's 2001

So my claims of what Palestinians do to their own people is incorrect? Torturing gays doesnt happen? Women having no rights is a myth? Human shields? Sexual assault at insane scales? What have I said that is islamaphobic? These are societal facts. And ive been active before this event started, literally for months lol

The Arab world is a hotbed for religious extremism. Is that Islamaphobia? Lol, go use your buzz words somewhere else

Fatah cancelled the last planned elections, two years ago, after it became apparent Hamas would easily win.

Arabs celebrating the death of their enemies - "barbaric! This shows how backwards their society is. Kill them all. Get the genocide started!"

White people doing the same - "hey man, all sides, many sides. This is nuanced. Go educate yourself. "

White supremacy at its finest.

Lol only people calling for genocide is the Palestinians and their supporters chanting from River to Sea. Please enlightened us Q, what does that entail?

Just imagine if the Palestinians for the last 40 years used diplomatic aid for schools, housing, diplomatic initiatives. Imagine if they recognized their place at the negotiating table after waging and losing war after war and still having the other side willing to negotiate. Stop the victim blaming and start recognizing Palestinians put themselves into this situation with their war mongering

Death of their enemies?
Random civilians at a music festival for peace were their enemies?

Some of the bickering in this thread is through the roof. I'm sure there are a lot of good points from multiple posters with different angles, but you wouldn't think it from the semantic arguments on the most petty things. Chill out all. I'm not informed and want to read more about the various arguments but when someone can't even post a video and others jump on "it's so and so, so it's irrelevant". Isn't that the definition of an ad hominem argument? He could still have relevant points. Anyway, a lot of that here and it's hard to sift through the bitterness. A lot could learn from listening to different views without resorting to bickering.

No good can come from whitewashing the facts on the ground. Palestinians support Hamas, this crazy notion that they do not is entirely false. Read the books they give their kids in elementary. Systemic hatred is bread not only in Palestine but throughout the Arab world.

Couple of things here.

1. Israel has repeatedly made it clear that they are the enemies of palestine. So yes, hard for us to understand over here, but even young adults at a music a music festival are viewed as enemies.

2. Lost in all this is the fact that Hamas killed and captured a large number of IDF soldiers. The occupying force are by definition, the enemy.

I don't agree with Hamas' tactics. I think this all won't end well for them. But come on, there's more to it than barbaric Muslims killing innocent party goers because ... something something gays and women's rights.

Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, when aren’t these tactics used? This is normal.

Palestinians get control of Israel tomorrow there will be 10 million deaths. You know this. Maybe a hundred thousand will be kept as slaves.

How long do you need to treat a man like a beast before he behaves like a beast?

Ah so it's only Whataboutism when it's actually directly correlated with the conversation, rather than spurious deflection.

Interesting, did Israel wage war with Germany after the Holocaust? Did Japan wage war with the United States after the nuclear bomb? No, most societies recognize their place in the world, make peace, and move on. When your society is filled with backwards religious 12th century thinking this is what you get.
