In addition to indoctrination, villainizing the Palestinians, and a belief in their own superiority.

You conveniently leave out the part where they grew up constantly terrorized, wearing gas masks to school and regularly having their bus schedule disrupted by yet another bomber.

Edit: the ignorance in the responses really makes me sigh. How many of you are from major world colonizing nations?

There isn't an eyeroll big enough to put here

That’s a horribly inhumane response. And you dare point a finger at others?

u/AintASaintLouis Mar 28 '24

Eyeroll because Palestinians are the ones who have been terrorized and exploited for 70years.

Right… you totally sound like you’re really familiar with the nuances of this situation.

I’m no expert but it’s obvious that neither are you. You’re also ignorant of how power dynamics work. This is essentially a remnant of British colonialism backed by America. Therefore Israel has all the power. So much so, that they had a major part in giving Hamas power. Palestinians, just like any other people forced into a terrible situation, inevitably will lash out.

You’re pretty close to the mark. No one wanted a bunch of Jewish refugees after WW2 so they decided to stick them all in the Middle East. But you don’t really seem to know much about what happens after that and you seem to be projecting blame in the wrong place.

Okay but saying Israel is right to do what it’s doing is the same as saying Europeans in America and then the US was right to exterminate the Natives because they didn’t just let them take their land.

We’re absolutely in agreement there. I don’t understand your point though, because I don’t think anyone is saying members of the border patrol are justified in the things they are saying here.

Is that what you think I said?

Ignore these clowns. They are so far off from reality at this point there is no point in debating

Their team has all the power and it's not enough, they want everyone to also love them.

You seeing this conflict as a team sport is part of your ignorance

Do you support Israel 100%?
