You’re implying that the historical record of Western governments is so much better? The US is reported to be responsible for somewhere around 30 million deaths since the end of WW2. We are great humanitarians no? The Palestinians had nothing to do with the holocaust yet the Brits saw fit to plop another population on their land. Those Zionists kicked 700,000 out of their homes and off their land to make room for the coming European Jews who have no ancestral connection to that land. They committed massive atrocities to chase the Palestinians into the refugee camps.

International law states that 1. Collective punishment is a war crime and 2. People living under occupation have a legal right under international law to armed resistance. This is just racist settler colonialism. Straight up. Same old Euro/US expansionist policy.

Not only did I not say that, nor imply that, I specifically mentioned western powers.

You desperately want your preferred laws and customs to overrule other nation’s laws and customs - exactly as I point out to the op - and you can’t understand that neither Islam nor Israel cares in the slightest what you think about a war that has been continuous in that region of the world since 700 A.D.

Does it list Syria? Egypt? Lebanon? India? Senegal? Congo? South Africa? Myanmar? Somalia? Libya? Nigeria? Thailand? Philippines? Or Israel? What about the dozens of daily terror attacks waged upon Europe?

No. It doesn’t.

Now you’re just using deflection. Obviously, those countries are experiencing atrocities. Right now, the worst is in Gaza.

I’m not deflecting at all. I reject the premise on its face that a nation does not have the right to defend itself with all the force at its command, including overwhelming force. All the nations I listed have been or are subjected to the same attacks as occurred on October 7, 2024, and by the same ideology.

The difference is, of those nations only Israel has the ability to bring the war to the enemy.

That you presume the Hamas prison breakout was the beginning of this horror is to regurgitate Western/Israeli talking points. Not surprising. This genocide has been going on since 1948. Did the Palestinians who were violently removed from THEIR land have the right to resist? It’s quite astonishing that the victims have been portrayed as the perpetrators for all this time. Typical of Western colonialism however. The world is waking up to the US and its bullshit narrative. The tables are turning. Nothing you can do about that.
