      I agree, Israel should release the thousands of Palestinians it has imprisoned without charge over the decades.

              The Nakba sure did though, it’s like saying WW2 didn’t start in 1939. Like sure a shit ton of things happened that lead up to it, but ultimately there is a definitive point in which it is almost universally agreed as the start of the major parts of the occupation.

              Revisit this thread some day and really think hard about what you’ve said here. I’m sure you won’t be proud. 🫤 I wish you well.

          It’s not whataboutism when it’s about the exact same thing, that’s just calling out hypocrisy

      This is the thing that always got me.

      Is Israel above reproach - no. But there is much more than one side to this conflict and the only thing I ever see is what Israel did.

        Yeah Israel has been horrendous recently and did not give an appropriate response. There are decades of history and for the most part they just take turns committing war crimes. Israel has been a victim in the past, that doesn’t justify what’s currently going on but it’s foolish to pretend that Israel has always been the bully.

        Hamas is just doing what Israel does.

        Israel kidnaps Palestinians, Hamas kidnaps Israelis to trade them back.
