I'm not sure blaming Israel is the real issue here
@ZenFriedRice @Soulg
It's all in history. Terror can't be justified. Israel has suffered that is true. But so have the Palestinian civilians. Israel has their blood on its hands too, after all Israel is responsible for the Nakba. But the main problems is both sides don't want diplomacy and peace, Israel's right wing morons are advocating their violence against Palestinian civilians, Hamas is playing its terror games. Caught up in the middle of all these morons are civilians on either side, who don't have any quarrel with the other. They all want peace. But offcourse games of politicians don't have any consequences for the politicians but the common man and woman pay the price.
Though it's true that the attack would have never happened if Palestinians weren't crushed and their voices not silenced. If there were peace, the chances of such attacks are zero. There needs to a be a cause for such a big attack that is what is important: the cause, why did it happen.
It's easy to say from the sidelines that through diplomacy peace will prevail, but who's definition of peace? Are the Palestinians going to get any of their land back? What about the natives of the Americas or Australia? You can't negotiate with colonionalism. You will never even have a seat that the table. The unfortunate truth is that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. And one party is completely to blame for stacking the deck that way. These two things are not the same.
Nuanced, well thought-out takes getting downvoted? What is this, reddit?
The only way Israel will ever stop the genocide is by ceasing to exist. If you don't understand that you don't understand what Israel is.
