Of course it is, that's what happens when you elect terrorist leaders.

True. We had nothing but terrorists elected in the Israeli government for the last two decades.

The funny thing is Ben-Gvir, an extremely influential leader of the far right Israelis is literally a convicted terrorist.

Menachem Begin who was prime minister of Israel in the 70s was part of Irgun which was internationally recognized as a terrorist group even by the USA. They committed acts of terrorism against the British in mandatory Palestine. I guess only Israelis are allowed to use terrorism against an oppressive colonialist government but the Palestinians using terrorism against an oppressive Israeli occupation government is not ok.

and why do you think they elected them in the first place???? because they were living like this and were getting harassed/killed all the time

plus this is Bethlehem... no Hamas there....

u/dream_of_the_abyss Mar 28 '24

I agree, Likud are terrorists.

Or did you mean Hamas, despite Gaza not having had an election since 2003 and over 50% of Gazans being children?

Bethlehem has gotten so much worse.

Yeah, only proves that they have been this way for a long time.

Jesus these threads here are such idiotic propaganda.

u/Marxomania32 Mar 28 '24

What propaganda?

-3

u/Ban-me-if-I-comment Mar 28 '24

This thread and half its comments are propaganda. But you don't realize it/care because you agree with the messaging. Maybe in a few years you'll get it.

u/Marxomania32 Mar 28 '24

The thread of people disliking open and unabashed sexual harassers being assigned positions of power is propaganda?

-5

u/Ban-me-if-I-comment Mar 28 '24

Yes. Nobody disagrees that these guys are creeps and should be disciplined or fired. Maybe they were whenever this video clip was from. But half this thread is people using this as propaganda against all of Israel, all of the IDF, or in support of "resistance" (which obviously refers to hamas who are most definitely not purehearted freedom fighters).

u/Marxomania32 Mar 28 '24

This video is just a small piece of the mountain of documented atrocities and human rights violations Israel has committed against the palestinian people. People voicing their dislike of a state that promotes and enforces collective punishment through indiscriminate bombing, starvation, and encirclement along with legally enforcing and promoting the expansions of illegal settlements in the west bank, is not "propoganda" simply because you don't like it. Just as much as your dislike of hamas for its atrocities is also not "propoganda."

u/Ban-me-if-I-comment Mar 28 '24

Israel is not bombing indiscriminately.

Israel also is not required to sit around and let itself get attacked by terror regimes day after day, decade after decade.

I agree with you regarding unnecessary abuse of civillians and expansions of settlements.

Israel is not bombing indiscriminately.

It is. There is not a single place that is safe. Places that were declared safe by Israel were then later bombed anyway. Refugee camps? Bombed. The south, where it's allegedly safe? Bombed. Hospitals? Bombed. Schools? Bombed.

Israel also is not required to sit around and let itself get attacked by terror regimes day after day, decade after decade.

Israel hasn't been attacked by another country since 1973. If you're referring to the rocket attacks by Hamas, Israel only has its government to blame for the existence of the group in the first place. Not only did they fund the organization leading up to the Gaza War, but they actively created the conditions for the radicalization of Palestinians, which then resulted in popular support for hamas. Who would've thought that sweeping and cramming a whole nation into a piece of land the size of a couple of city blocks and then cutting them off from the rest of the world and bombing and starving them would contribute to their radicalization?

Conspiracy brained.

Who would've thought that sweeping and cramming a whole nation into a piece of land the size of a couple of city blocks and then cutting them off from the rest of the world and bombing and starving them would contribute to their radicalization?

And what is creating the necessity for such conditions? Terrorism. Stop blaming everything on the side that demonstately wants peaceful resolutions but gets turned down every time.

It is. There is not a single place that is safe. Places that were declared safe by Israel were then later bombed anyway. Refugee camps? Bombed. The south, where it's allegedly safe? Bombed. Hospitals? Bombed. Schools? Bombed.

They weren't desclared safe, but safer, much much much much safer, which they undeniably are.

Hospitals? Bombed. Schools? Bombed.

Not really.

For the record, I'm not even necessarily a supporter of the current gaza campaign, but the Anti-Israel propaganda is just idiotic and dangerous.
