So Iran can fund jihad against Judaism itself, and it's Israel's fault?
literally yes. they didn't give a shit before the 'all Jews are aligned with israelc protocols of the elders of Zion fanfic those fuckers are pushing.
and then making their entire existence genocide and atrocities.
Talking about the "initial fault" in this conflict is moot. We're at a point, where both sides can reasonably point to some events in the past and blame the other side for the conflict.
Fact is, Iran is a theocratic dictatorship and its allies are religious fanatic militias, while Israel is a liberal democracy, supported by pretty much all of The West™. Of course the expectations towards Israel regarding human rights and international law are slightly higher. And let's be honest, what Israel is doing right now is certainly not helping calming the situation, or even making long term peace.
Man Israel has more than 5 million people under an occupation that denies them any and all human rights. They're not a liberal democracy in any stretch of the word.
Israel is an authoritarian state, they throw people in jail for disagreeing with the government, or just being Palestinian / Muslim.
authoritarian, apartheid, theocratic, genocidal and willing to start world war three over looking bad
Iran is authoritarian and theocratic, and the people there don't love that.
I feel like one of these things is worse than the other. indefensibly, past the fucking moral event horizon, 'kill them all and then shoot the bodies to make sure they're dead' levels of worse.
world war three isn't, like, acceptable. theres no defense for that sjit, especially with some of the military hardware they now have.
lol "liberal democracy". they're as homophobic and more transphobic. they're howling fascists that make the Nazis look like noobs (learning from history I guess. in a the worst ways). they don't have virtue.
but iranisnt trying to start world war three, and they aren't trying to do a genocide, so theyre the sensible allies here.
unless you want a global thermonuclear war. then by all means; back the Zionist terror forces.
I don't know if I fully buy that argument.
If somebody supports Israel, they are supporting a genocide based on perceived land needs of the Israeli people.
If somebody supports Palestine, they are supporting a genocide based on the outright extermination of the Jewish people, funded by Iran and Qatar.
I don't think we can get anywhere unless all of us as leftists acknowledge that the Jews of Israel will be in the same position the people of Palestine are in right now if we don't thread the needle of support and guess what? We are not fucking threading that needle.
What? No significant player in Palestine is trying to do that.
If we pretend the "elected" government of Palestine is in significant than sure.
Uh... Hamas has tried to make peace with Israel before. Multiple times. Including two attempts to hand over Gaza to the PA and start peace negotiations. Israel has refused all of them.
Hamas killed all the PA in Gaza after the takeover in 2006. when did they ever attempt to give gaza back?
So first, "Hamas killed all the PA in Gaza" ignores that it was the PA trying to overturn the result of democratic elections. Not saying Hamas didn't do fucked up things either, but let's not forget how it happened.
That said, there were many efforts for reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah. You'll notice a theme of Israeli opposition to all of these.
nothing like throwing people off of roofs to show how democratic you are
israel being against reconcilliation does not effect hamas, they did it because they wanted to.
Israel was literally funding Hamas in order to drive a wedge between Palestinians and stop chances of a unified leadership arising. Netanyahu admitted to as much. It is an Israeli media source, inb4 muh bias.
the real reason he bribed them was to buy quite to appear as someone who is "strong against terorrism"
about the funding, so i guess hamas had no choice but to murder people in order to recieve more money. after all its not like they recieve millions in aid from all over world, the only funding is bibi so he gets to tell them how to act and who to kill
Funding from "all over the world" doesn't quite slap the same as funding from your nemesis. While Hamas may not receive play by play instructions from Israel, it cannot be denied that they were allowed to thrive to act as counterweight to more moderate elements and viewed as "an asset" (Smotrich's words in 2016) to keep Palestinian unity movement divided fighting amongst themselves. This worked fairly well too until recent events, whereby Netanyahu and his like were able to benefit politically by waving the boogeyman of their own making instead of making a genuine effort at peace.
so despite having ulterior methods of funding, hamas killing their opposition is because of Israel approved Qatari payments. despite the payments being made a **decade **after the violent takeover? did the money go back in time and change the election results?
they were allowed to thrive because Israel left Gaza and let them sort it out. if you look back to 2005, you will see that israel (along other western countries) openly supported fatah over hamas. from wiki(emphasis mine):
compare to the PA in the same time(still wiki,emphasis mine):
According to the IISS, the June 2007 escalation was triggered by Hamas' conviction that the PA's Presidential Guard, loyal to Mahmoud Abbas, was being positioned to take control of Gaza. The US had helped build up the Presidential Guard to 3,500 men since August 2006. The US committed $59 million for training and non-lethal equipment for the Presidential Guard, and persuaded Arab allies to fund the purchase of further weapons. Israel, too, allowed light arms to flow to members of the Presidential Guard. Jordan and Egypt hosted at least two battalions for training
you can find many other instances of Israel supporting PA over hamas over the years. by the time bibi allowed funding to flow to hamas they had unquestioned military and civilian control in gaza.
equivocating 'the Jewish peolle' with kapo genocide orcs doing 'protocols of the elders of zionc larp is antisemitic as fuck. what do you expect from a bunch of literal Hitler apologists though?
Literally yes. The state of anti-Semitism in the middle east is a direct cause of Israeli Apartheid.
And Iran is not an apartheid state?
Uh yes? Iran is oppressive as fuck, but yeah they're not an Apartheid state, and hell even if they were. At least Iranian women get citizenship and the right to a fair-ish trial.
Bro gtfo, kurds have suffered under Iranian regime for more than a century, israel palestine conflict doesn't even come close.
Yeah you get the fair trail as long as your aren't kurd.
no its not close. fuck Iran's givernment generally, not the good guys, but killing Nazis is always good. everyone gets points for that even if they otherwise suck.
Man we have a genocide going on in Gaza.
Admittedly I don't know much about the state of Kurds in Iran, but again we have a literal genocide in Gaza. What little I have read doesn't mention anything that intense in Iran.
I'm not denying the ongoing genocide, but acting like Iran is some kind of good faith actor in the region is total bullshit.
You think hatred of Jews among Muslims started after the creation of Israel?
That is ahistorical nonsense, and you know it.
Do you wish to try again?
Not after the creation of Israel, after Zionists started trying to take Palestine in 1917.
Conveniently ignoring about a thousand years of history there, little buddy.
Go on, what's that history?
There were 300,000 Jews there when tbs Mamluks took power and 5,000 when the Ottomans took power.
What happened? Did the Jews disappear?
Are we totally going to ignore the fact that the Mamluks and other Turks were foreigners who only had Islam to try to bond with the region they were taking over. It's not like it was Levantine Jews vs Levantine Muslims.
It's a lot like how the US helps Israel because it has the same western values despite religion.
You can literally look up what happened on Wikipedia, but the short of it is Mongol invasions and Mamluk misrule. I mean two thirds of the population left, that shit got everyone (though it admittedly got Jews and Christians more). Then it was victim to more Ottoman misrule. Not saying these are good things, but speaking as a Muslim Middle Eastern guy the scathing hatred for Jews in the modern Middle East is unlike anything from before the 20th century, and the stereotypes you'll usually see (mainly the deceptive Jew that can't be trusted to hold a promise and Jews controlling the world) are direct results of Zionist actions.
Where do you get the 300,000 figure?
A quick read through Wikipedia showed significantly lower number.
