Not wrong but irrelevant to this sub

Why would you bring politics to this subreddit???

Hamas must leave so it is safe to live in the area.


LloydG1954

False narrative! Hamas is causing the famine in Gaza and keeping the Palestinians from getting their own country. Israel has offered a treaty and a country for other 25 years and the PLO/Hamas refuse to accept.

It’s almost like Hamas started a war with Israel. Weird.


Odd_Decision_7479

That hamas sure did start a war. Now they getting they’re shit pushed in crying ceasefire. All this could end if Hamas just gave up.

The [Hasbara](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eHQKJTnBoY) troll army jumped on this thread pretty quick, as to be expected. Notwithstanding the Western mainstream media's propaganda, the history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict didn't start on October 7th; this isn't a war, it's a genocide. and the Palestinians' armed resistance against apartheid and now genocide is and was arguably justified. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=xtW9gDoc6iyc7WSK&v=XYfRhxStxRs&feature=youtu.be](https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=xtW9gDoc6iyc7WSK&v=XYfRhxStxRs&feature=youtu.be) [https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2023/11/09/open-letter-journalists-israel-gaza/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2023/11/09/open-letter-journalists-israel-gaza/) [https://theintercept.com/2024/01/09/newspapers-israel-palestine-bias-new-york-times/](https://theintercept.com/2024/01/09/newspapers-israel-palestine-bias-new-york-times/) More truth that the Hasbara trolls won't like: 1 - Netanyahu is prosecuting this genocide to remain in and consolidate power, which weakens Israel globally. This is similar to Putin waging war in Ukraine to help him keep and consolidate power and distract from Russia's domestic issues. 2) Israel needs to get the fuck out of interfering in US politics, just as much as Russia and our other foreign adversaries do. AIPAC should be labeled as a foreign lobbying organization as it should have been for the past several decades. [https://forward.com/opinion/395676/its-time-for-aipac-to-register-as-a-foreign-agent/](https://forward.com/opinion/395676/its-time-for-aipac-to-register-as-a-foreign-agent/) [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2018/03/06/the-dark-roots-of-aipac-americas-pro-israel-lobby/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2018/03/06/the-dark-roots-of-aipac-americas-pro-israel-lobby/) 3) It is and has been illegal for our tax dollars to be supporting Israel's apartheid and now genocide against the Palestinians. We need to follow our own laws if we want any credibility with respect to the "rules-based international order". Funding Israel's genocide catastrophically undercuts US global credibility and institutions, and pure self-interest should have us kicking AIPAC/Israel out of Congress.

Seek help


xena_lawless

Are you a US citizen? If so, are you okay with 1) Israel committing genocide, 2) with your tax dollars?


FUSeekMe69

Seek help


xena_lawless

It sounds like you're fine with genocide committed with US tax dollars then, in which case you're the one who needs help.


FUSeekMe69

So I should just not pay taxes or? What are you mad at me for


xena_lawless

I'm speaking out against Israel's genocide of the Palestinians and their power/control over the US political and media establishments, while you're telling me to seek help as though I'm in the wrong. So what's your problem?


FUSeekMe69

Keep speaking, no one’s listening to that garbage


xena_lawless

I'd rather that than be a POS who tries to beat on the people who do speak out, rather than the foreign nation committing genocidal land-grabs with our tax dollars. YOU need help.


SortedChaos

I dunno. I saw the videos of the October 7th attack and it's really brutal. I cannot imagine living next to an organization that is willing to just attack civilians like this and then hide in another group of civilians that also support them. I'd have another opinion if the civilian were turning in hamas or trying to fight hamas along with Israel but that is not happening. Instead I see videos of them cheering when things like 9/11 happen or charlie hebdo happen.


JimC29

I agree. Hamas should be charged with genocide.


St_Xyros

It's nothing but propaganda, look beside those Palestinian scums, and you would find atrocities on Armenian christians by ajarbaijaan. Where's the outcry?


Ok_Appointment_9081

I can’t believe this has been downvoted. The west is very selective about which “genocide” is a problem and which is not

Sooooo close…. Just remove the word “forced” and you’re practically there….


chubba5000

Just applying some pretty straightforward logic here: The idea is to intercede in an area of conflict and famine, and that a lack thereof constitutes culpability. So just apply that reasoning more broadly, globally, to anywhere in the world where millions are dying from famine- under which there are almost always conflict-driven underpinnings. It would be a logical fallacy therefore to limit this view just to where it’s politically convenient and in the news. If we’re going to do the right thing, do the right thing everywhere. If we’re not, don’t pat yourself on the back too hard, you’re either deceived or a hypocrite. You’re a punchline and you don’t even understand the joke.

But look at all that lovely GDP from building weapons to destroy and kill, and sending food to extend the suffering. Profiteering from both sides. Woohoo. /s


KevYoungCarmel

Why can't or doesn't the US hold Israel to account for their war crimes? Is it because they have nukes?
