They’re still accused?
So what exactly was the point of trying to remove the video in the first place?
Please educate me.
In Israel it’s because Israel as a state actively supports settlements. This is why Palestinians don’t just shoot settlers; when you do that the IDF comes.
Outside Israel it’s because that would he “antisemitism”.
So I have a stupid question: Is the current 20% tax actually enforced against actually rich people?
Israel is literally an apartheid state committing genocide. Their democracy isn’t worth shit.
Uh… The Israelites who were there first are, for the most part, the ancestors of modern Palestinians. Your point simply doesn’t stand when you look at history.
Their leadership lives it up in Bahrain I think and has a dictatorship over Gaza
They have leadership in and out of Gaza. Which is so obvious I don’t understand why Westerners like to use it as a point against Hamas. The political leadership of Hamas needs to be able to negotiate with Israel and third parties, and when was the last time Netanyahu went to Gaza to negotiate?
Exactly.
Also Hamas is both a dictatorship and a group of freedom fighters. Fighting oppression is a good act on its own, but it doesn’t need to be done by good people.
No foreseeable workable solution for next 10 years.
Or 20 tbh.
I know but that was more of a fucking mess than anything resembling a policy to my knowledge.
I mean I also don’t think they’re killing hostages (intentionally, anyway), but to say it’s not in their interest is wrong.
Here’s the thing: They unilaterally declared these places to be “protected”. It’s not like the Bedouins started living there last Tuesday.
Okay admittedly I didn’t know an election was held in 1996. That said, the PNA was (and still is) an Israeli subcontractor, and not at all a state in any sense of the word. The implication that Palestinians had political independence is false. When I said elections I meant elections as a state, which only happened in 2005-2006 after Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005.
I assume they think that Israel is a 1-state solution de facto, in which case half the country does indeed not get a vote.
That person is me, and yes this is exactly the case.
Palestinians held elections until they voted in Hamas
Blatantly untrue. Palestinians in the occupied territories did not hold elections before 2006. The first and only Palestinian election was held as a result of the second Intifada, and after the election the international community refused to accept the result because Hamas didn’t agree to denounce violent resistance (which of course they didn’t because peace doesn’t work with Israel).
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.
I mean add it to the pile but yes.
