What I find interesting is that through all this suffering, Hamas hasn't surrendered and returned the hostages in return for it's own peoples peace. They should renounce everything they have done in my opinion and give themselves and the hostages back in return for and end to the conflict. People will argue with me and say Hamas is some type of resistance movement against oppressors so they should "fight on", expel o…

They've released like 80% of the hostages I believe? In exchange for ceasefires which were immediately broken by Israel.

As someone who went to US high school in the 90s, a good 1/3 of our curriculum seemed to be "never again" studies of the holocaust and other genocides throughout history. Which makes it completely incomprehensible to me that suddenly "don't talk about genocide" has become the basically law. What's worse is I actually feel openly saying "I don't support this genocide and I'm critical of the state committing it" is a r…

I used to live right outside of Auschwitz. Been inside many times, and it's an absolutely harrowing experience - the scale of human suffering inflicted upon the people brought there exceeds almost any kind of scale. But similar to what you said, majority of that place is dedicated to "never again" messaging - so it must feel weird to go in, see the pictures of starving children inside the camp(those that weren't sent to the gas chambers straight away anyway), only to go outside and see images of equally starved Palestinian children and watch Natenyahu say "there's no starvation in Gaza". I feel personal discomfort knowing that the famous "those who don't remember history" quote is on a sign right there in Auschwitz, seen by millions of people every year, yet Israel is comitting genocide against the people of Gaza.

>> The downvotes and flagged comments in this post are clearly not "organic", and the same pattern can be seen all over the web.

Any topic related to this gets flagged within few hours. No doubt this one will be too.

Three words - Boycott, Divest, Sanction. If BDS didn't work, they wouldn't be trying to ban it.

Other countries don’t enjoy unconstitutional protection from free speech activities in the majority of states.

In fact, no country enjoys that protection other than Israel.

People form beliefs and make judgments based on things they do not know, it is nothing surprising[1]. I would recommend reading the history of Israel (vs. Palestine, especially). Yeah, Hamzah has been making lots of videos of IDF soldiers (and other Israelites) saying that they want all Palestinian children to die, and that their lives are worth more than Palestinians' lives. I am not surprised by any of this, the me…

I feel it's not going to last longer. With the advent of modern, mass media, young people across the West can see for themselves and they're taking a side. More specifically, they don't want their governments funding genocide with their taxes. This cannot be made to go away, which is why Zionist activists and their lackeys are pulling out all the stops: no one expected the outburst of disgust at Israel's actions woul…

I hope what you're saying is true. But I fear that the ability of the genociders to control the narrative is still very strong.

100% and full Hamas surrender is what they want and you know that. It's a war, not a picnic.
