Israel is an Apartheid state that has kept Gaza as an open-air prison for decades, getting worse since 2007, when the siege/blockade started and the people there were 'put on a diet' i.e. enough calories are allowed in so that the population doesn't starve outright, just have chronic malnutrition. A million kids under 18 have known that reality since birth.
Now Israel is openly calling for genocide, have cut off what little food and water Gaza had, and have asked a million people to move in 24 hours. Where they might go, in an area the size of Detroit, is left unstated. This is somehow called 'self-defence'.
No, I'm not an anti-semite, put it back in the deck.
No, I don't want Israel to be destroyed
No, I don't support Hamas, though Israel did back in the 70s/80s as a counterweight to the PLO
Yes, I think Israel has a right to self-defence, but so long as it continues the ethnic cleansing, the building of settlements on occupied territory, as treating millions of people as subhumans to be kept under heel, I find I have no sympathy. The only real difference between Bibi and Hamas, is that Bibi has killed and terrorized a lot more civilians.
