      ​@theoutcast3082 how can people back this phrase? I get that we dont want innocent Palestinians to die, Hamas is an evil, and Israel is exacting violence on the populace....but they are all humans. You suggest Israel be completely eradicated. Are you blind, do you not care?

      ​@@brucestack1658 Israel is an intrinsically colonial political project born of ethnic cleansing and land theft. Promoting a free Palestine from sea to river means campaigning for the abolition of the colonial institutions that have kept the Palestinians in a position of subalternity for the last 75 years and that have authorised the genocidal sequence we have been witnessing for the last +2 months. Do you legitimately fail to understand that fighting oppressive institutions is not the same as slaughtering those who benefit from them, or are you just pretending so that you don't have to question the legitimity of your favourite ethnostate?

    I forgot to bring you roses
    When you hit the floor
    Your nouveau poses
    Asking for war
    Have you forgot the wall?
    I've foreseen it all
    We've foreseen it all
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Holocaust, you tasted great fear
    How could you just occupy another child's tear?
    [Chorus 1]
    Don't you all know?
    Don't you all care?
    Don't you all see how this isn't fair?
    Are we all blind?
    Do we not see?
    Do we not bleed?
    [Verse 2]
    Faint cries of lost limbs
    Mimes surrounded by mines
    Without warning signs
    Of the great sacrifice

    Yes, we do see
    It's time to end this misery

    No more sipping on our regret
    Tuck the kids in without worry
    No more running out in a hurry
    No more bombs falling over our heads
    No more sirens predicting death
    Yes, it's the two-state solution
    No more glaring through oblivion

    My paternal grandparents were Armenian Genocide orphans who were forced from their homes in 1915. They had to march from their homes in Aintab (modern-day Gaziantep, Turkey) to Damascus, Syria. From Damascus, Syria they marched to Irbid, Jordan. And from Irbid, Jordan they marched to Haifa, then British Palestine. They were placed in an orphanage in Haifa. In 1952 they were evicted from their home in Haifa. Israeli Defense Forces came to their door and told them to give them their keys and leave, claiming that they will be allowed to return once the conflict was over. They lost everything and started their lives over again in Beirut, Lebanon. In 1976 a year after the Lebanese Civil War began between Muslims and Christians they fled to Los Angeles, California. I was born and raised here and the stories of these three horrific events from my paternal history never leave my ears.

      1976 Lebanese Civil War happened because the PLO was welcomed in - same mistake Syria, Jordan, and Egypt made - and the Palestinians attempted to coup Lebanon. Know your history. 1952 was the Suez Crisis when Gamal Abdel Nasser, a brutal dictator, couped Egypt, who still controlled the Gaza Strip Egypt annexed during the Arab-Israeli War of 1947. Jordan expelled all Palestinians to the West Bank after stripping them of their Jordanian citizenship, making them stateless in retaliation for the PLO doing exactly the same coup attempt of King Husseini of Jordan, that they’d then attempt for the final time in Lebanon. Are you blind to the belligerents here? Lebanon, btw - is a French colony that expelled Muslims to create a Christian ethnostate, given the West wanted to find a Christian foothold in the Middle East, so they could just let Israel fall due to their biases and distrust. Not surprised you were indoctrinated by grandparents raised in Lebanon, just the same. Enjoy Glendale.

      There is a fuck ton of fucked up history and when there is a big geographic border separating countries then foreign history usually stocks to what is either closer, has the most influence, or what the ally is this especially applies to America in terms of the influence thing because the main information of foreign countries that come here are usually British (and no not just the revolutionary war), Egyptian well more of a crash course but that may very on schools, and Roman (this is just if my memory serves me right) because they have some of the more interesting history but this is just my theory I could be wrong

      People of Gaza aren't living in peace, they're not allowed to even have airports, their trade lines are limited, and they're under constant siege. That's not the same thing.
      Native Americans were at some point oppressed and treated like second-class humans, even after the genocide ended. Do you think that they stayed silent and tried to fit in? No, they fought back to the best of their power, but in the end they were helpless.
      Israel is an apartheid state, not just an occupational power. If Orthodox Jews are against the mere existence of Israel, then we should at least sympathize with the people of Palestine and support them.

Many were definitely the victims of american artillery along with all the other colonizing countries. Bombs are well over 500 years old. Maybe you didn’t know that though.
