The world is listening. But the world is not allowed to say anything because the moment they criticise Israel's government they are obviously evil anti-semites that should be shot on the spot.

Right now every single article criticising Israel's government is drowned out by two dozen articles about all those despicable anti-semites everywhere excusing Hamas terrorism. Doesn't matter that it's a lie, that noone actually excused those terrorist acts. It's just a rediculous over the top strawman.

But this ist our new post-factual reality. Those who scream their lie the loudest are right.

Hamas Rebels carried out an effective terrorist attack in retaliation to years of GLOBALLY SANCTIONED terrorism at the hands if Israel.

Now what was are observing is Israel quadrupling down on their terrorist activities whilst simultaneously waging an infowar.

Who do you think is more equipped to wage an infowar? A first world, heavily subsidized, safe government with all of the state of the art technology a little terrorist state can ask for? Or a poor destitute region whose infrastructure has been absolutely devastated over the decades, is again getting pummeled at full force, where hundreds if not thousands are getting ruthlessly slaughtered daily?

And Israel is STILL losing the infowar.

Why? Because the people of the world know exactly what is occurring but the governments of the world are so overwhelmingly corrupt that they maintain status quo so they also continue to get their shares of the subsidies.

Earth is fucked.

You know you can support the Palestinan cause without having to lie egregiously right. In terms of support, this is not "A first world, heavily subsidized, safe government" [...] versus "a poor destitute region" alone.

Like Israel has the US as an ally, there is massive financial support from different oil-rich, Middle Eastern countries in the infowar in favor of Palestine. From one side Iran, which is sworn enemies with Israel, and is financing Hezbollah in Lebanon. From another Qatar, where Hamas leaders are (were? I've seen reports of them moving so I may be out of date) living in luxury. Hell, even Russia is probably using their troll farms because making Israel look bad makes the US look bad and there is no way they would miss that chance.

I am really sorry but I don't speak apocalypse.

Are you saying because I understand why Hamas did what they did that I somehow support Iran?

No.

I've heard that Israel funded Hamas at some point and I believe it.

Israel is a problem. Time for the world to check in on Palestine as the place America is also shooting with brown people.

I keep seeing this Israel funded Hamas rhetoric. But, I can find almost no information about it from reputable sources. The only information I can find that is not obviously biased is a freaking Quora post.

If you, or anyone else, has anything more solid then I would be very interested to read about it.

What? You think this is some kind of secret? Israeli officials themselves have been admitting to this for years now.

noone actually excused those terrorist acts.

In Professor Joseph Massad’s newest article on The Electronic Intifada, he wrote that the attack that occurred in Israel on October 7th was a “stunning victory” and that Hamas' actions were “astounding,” “awesome,” and “incredible.”

And he doesn't teach at some no name place either. Dude teaches at Columbia

....and not one of those evil words is an ethical judgement, yet, you choose to interpret them this way, because in a black and white narrative, every speck of dust on your white narrative, must mean the other person is completely in camp black.

This is exactly what was criticized above. There's no room for any thought. It's just Israel, fuck yeah! or antisemite; Palestine, fuck yeah! or genocide supporter.

your white narrative

Tell the Nazis my narrative is white. Tell the country clubs that banned dogs, blacks, and jews as recently as 60 years ago that my narrative is white. Tell the guy who shot up a synagogue in Pittsburgh and thought Trump was bad because he wasn't tough on Jews that my narrative isn't white. It's amazing how we are somehow both nonwhite outsiders looking to destroy the fabric of society or European imperialists looking to uphold it and it's whichever one the person viewing us thinks is bad.

Well, let's face it... the "western world" is listening - and it likes what it is hearing. Just like the "western world" liked what it was hearing when Hitler and the Nazis explicitly stated what they were planning to do in the run-up to WW2.

I've been reading up on the Warsaw uprising. Of there anything that a people that went through that should have learned that if you corner people with no way out they will fight to the bitter end, because their life is forfeit.

But with all wars, history is the one thing by the wayside, overflown by modern day political rhetoric and fear mongering, just like back then.

Different people being likened to animals. An insult to animals and humans alike...

[–] masquenox@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The comparisons to the Warsaw Uprising is apt.

Some would even say that it's ironic... but that's only if you don't understand what Israel has really always been about. It truly is a kapo state.
