Among the hardest hit are the Mughrabi family: more than 70 were killed in a single Israeli airstrike in December. The Abu Najas: over 50 were killed in October strikes, including at least two pregnant women. The large Doghmush clan lost at least 44 members in a strike on a mosque and the total soared over 100 weeks later; by spring, over 80 members of the Abu al-Qumssan family had been killed.
All it took to radicalize Luke Skywalker into blowing up a military installation with millions of people living in it was a dead Aunt and Uncle…
And people act like they don’t understand why Hamas keeps getting recruits.
Imagine you were hanging out at a neighbors place and came home to see 70 members of your family dead and your whole neighborhood leveled.
But have you thought about Israel right to exist as the genocide state?
Ironically doesn’t this star wars analogy work the other way. Israel citizens are attacked. A small relatively small amount of civilians die. Then Israel goes commits genocide.
Only if you start the series in the middle of the timeline like George Lucas…
Both sides think they’re the good guys with something to avenge. And both sides probably do have that.
This both sides narrative related to Palestine is not accurate because this is about a colonizer and a colonized people. I personally don’t believe that there’s any scenario where the colonizers are the good guys because colonizing relies on oppression, dispossession and dehumanization of the colonized, and consequently a feeling of superiority, otherwise the whole thing won’t work.
Killing civilians doesn’t avenge anything, no matter who does it.
*Except on Oct 7th, then it’s ‘justified’ I’m guessing you’ll say.
We should probably stop supporting Israel. That country became shitty right after their first response. I think that first response was sort of expected but then they just went too far. I wouldn’t want to be associated with all this they are doing. Murdering entire families. That’s nazi.
