I can't do much at the moment from my home in Ohio, but just wanted you all to know we stand with you and are thinking about you.

Also, fuck the police.

Free Palestine!

What did you find deeply ignorant? The fact that someone objected to having been collectively labelled as supporting Palestinian protests? or the fact that this current issue is on Hamas?

If they release the hostages, the fighting stops. That was already proposed - seems pretty non-ignorant unless you're just a fan of "the other side" using rape as a weapon?

The fighting stops, but what about the occupations, the imprisonment of everyone in Gaza, the apartide laws in Israel, the geopolitical neuturing of the people of Palestine?

When do those people get to be free? To trade freely again? To live in their homes with no fear they will be taken from them? To have their voices meaningfully heard in international courts?

I have not seen or heard an Israeli peace plan, just cease fires in an ongoing siege.

Is this dumb and dumber?

If you support Israel, you support genocide and apartheid.

You sound more ignorant than the other guy. I pray that your head is buried deeply up your ass and that you are not really this bigoted. But it’s definitely one or the other.

I love a false dichotomy with an ad hominem attack as much as the next guy.

Try this one -

You're either a stupid cunt or naively stupid. But it's definitely one or the other.

You are trash if you support Israel government and the IDF and the whole world knows it.

Isreal shot all the hostages in the back, right around week one of this conflict. "Hostages" are just a red herring used to support this genocide. Really, what hostages?

[–] hactually@kbin.social -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

what hostages.

The people taken in October by Gaza.

How is this so hard?

[–] Tiltinyall@beehaw.org 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They dead

Hopefully Hamas has been taking care of the hostages. Let’s all agree that would be a good thing. But let’s also end the apartheid state in West Bank and Gaza and have a Palestinian state despite the genocidal Israeli government
