The ambassadors of Britain and the United States will not attend the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremony on Aug. 9 commemorating the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing.
Words like this is a spit in the face of humanity.
was Israel not attacked?
I genuinely have issues trying to discern the propaganda from the facts.
from what I gathered, I believed that Israel just took some land on which other people were living ~70 years ago, displacing these people.
Those peoples didn’t like being displaced and tensions grew, until attacks happened on Israel, to which Israel had mixed responses with violence and suppression, rinse, repeat and escalate for decades.
Now Israel had it with attacks from Palestine, and is going with the only chance it sees at maybe stopping it, which is a very violent war, presumably with the target of breaking the hope of resistance for Palestine (probably with lessons from the US interventions of the last 50-ish years where more civilized approaches failed)
If this (very simplified) view were correct, it seems that they are acting out of self defense, at least if you accept the existence of Israel, because if not they are the aggressors for occupying the space in the first place.
And Hamas is the logical response of decades of Israeli policies. Have you asked yourself why in prosperous countries terrorism is non existent?
Do you think that Israel didn’t create more terrorists than they killed? They completely destroyed Gaza, have a proven track record of killing journalists, humanitarian workers, medical personnel, kids and well documented war crimes and torturing their prisoners of war.
Not to mention that since the 7th of October there was an increased settler violence and pogroms all across West bank and their government approved the biggest land grab from the West bank.
Do you truly believe that the 7th of October attack really justifies all of the above? And all of this is coming from a “so called” democracy. Seriously
Hamas is the logical response of decades of Israeli policies
It would be bad enough if that were all. But it’s actually even worse. Israel directly aided Hamas because it helped destabilise Palestine’s more moderate leadership.
