Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)
What's incredible is that Hamas, Hezbollah, etc are taught from birth to hate Israel, the US, the West, Christians, etc.
No one here is making an excuse for these groups.
Yet it is incredible that Israelis too are taught to hate and harm Arabic, Muslim people and look on them as though they are subhuman.
This is a fact. Look at how they treat those in Gaza. In the West Bank. Look at how Israel has one justice system for Israelis and a different one for Palestinians. I encourage you to look further into this - it's likely more shocking than you think.
They have no freedom in their society; women are considered second class citizens. Most have no education.
What are you getting at?
Yet, the "elite liberals" that supports Hamas are the very one those people hate.
What "elite liberals" support Hamas? And how?
I don't find any of this really believable. In fact - many liberals / liberal media outlets are very pro-Israel.
They would rather kill you than thank you. Yes, it is old news yet you are part of their propaganda. Hamas is the one that built tunnels under hospitals, schools, clinics, etc. They are using women and children as human shields. Hamas and their ilk are the worse of the worst; hopefully, educators here will wake up soon.
One would think that if people actually cared about these "human shields", they'd care about them when Israel was purposefully targeting them. They'd actually speak out, right?
You know, over the last 12 months as Israel has been sniping children and toddlers in the head. Raping and assaulting people after arresting them unjustly simply for looking like a Palestinian. Executing them and burying them with backhoes. Slaughtering tens of thousands. Children literally hanging in half off of buildings...
Apparently, it's just "too bad" if Israel slaughters them. They don't raise an eyebrow. But folks seem to care about this "human shields" thing when Hamas is involved. They seem to get really worked up and repeat this a lot...
Surely you see that something with this story isn't quite right...
Additionally, I never said this was about hostages. What I said was if Hamas would like to stop the war, they will have to release the hostages.
And how many times has Israel rejected a hostage deal?
Surprise - they continue to reject these deals. Israel doesn't care about the hostages. They care about colonizing the land and wiping the land clean of people they view as subhuman. Ethnic cleansing.
Will this end the hostilities, of course not-don't be so obtuse. Also, the bit about razing the land? It's full of war tunnels man!
The propaganda / claims of one group should never be justifiable to excuse the mass slaughter of another:
50,000+ people killed?:
"
But Hamas is using them as human shields!!"
Leveling the land? Domicide?
"
There are tunnels under there! Hamas tunnels! They have to get rid of them!"
Acts like this should never be normalized. What Israel through the help of the west is doing IS normalizing it.
What happened in Rwanda was genocide. Was the Nazis did during WW2 was genocide. What the Turks did to the Armenians in WW1 was genocide. All of these examples involved ethnic cleansing. This lie of genocide in Gaza was invented by Iran, swallowed by the left and media, to spread their propaganda.
If you look at both the definitions of ethnic cleansing and of genocide - they absolutely both fit in the instance of what Israel is doing to the people of Gaza.
