Is the quote untrue? Are Palestinians not oppressed?

[–] SapphironZA 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think the problem people have with the quote is that it ignores that religion is the main oppressor. Without the Islamists and the right wing Jews, Palistinians would have a chance at freedom.

Which religion advocates for murdering your neighbor? Religion is a tool used to oppress. The oppressors are people acting in their own self interests, contradicting their professed religions. Ilan Pappe disagrees about this conflicts religious origins.

that religion is the main oppressor.

Oh look... the edgelord atheist who is still sore because his parents forced him to go to Sunday School has decided to show up.

Noone is hating the Palestinians though. Only Hamas (who definitely at least don't care about the Palestinians)

Untrue. Lots of videos of zionists saying to kill Palestinian children. One said because they’ll grow up to be future terrorists.

So, they’re not oppressed? Maybe a definitive statement might help.

Riiiight... Palestinians (somehow) forced the genocidal white supremacist settler-colonialist state of Israel to perpetrate genocide on Palestinians.

What else do you have, apologist? Auschwitz was just a holiday resort with really bad press, maybe?
