It’s not a complicated “conflict”. Its obviously a genocide. Liberals who say both sides are to blame are participating in the massacres of Palestinians. It doesn’t matter if hamas killed any number of Israelis. The so-called crimes that the Palestinians committed can never be equal to the crimes of their oppressors. Especially when their oppressors are killing them with a clear intent of genocide. It is disgusting that zionists hide behind their religion to justify what they do. All the liberals who defend them should get the wall.
By that logic, the United States isn’t a country either.
Correct
by that definition not a single country in the americas is a country. maybe bolivia since they kinda sorta maybe have some indigenous leadership maybe the majority black countries like Hati and the Guyanas since black people were forced there and they didnt carry out the genocides, but besides those there is plenty of genocide and active oppression and occupation today and in the past that non of the other countries would be countries by that definition.
No different than Amerikkka.
The Nazis were Amerika 2, Israel is just the newer frontier of Amerika 1.
are people finally ready to hear about the good word from our Lord and savior??
they are objectively a country they aren’t a country with any moral legitimacy but they clearly are a country
No they aren’t.
They lack one of the four primary distinctions that make any country a country. They lack sovereignty over the land they control and occupy. An occupation is not a country, and much of the world recognizes that either Palestine and Israel but hold sovereignty, or Palestine holds sole sovereignty, the Israeli position is to shaky to be definitively stated as such.
For example, the United States also falls under this classification of being a settler colony, but they are still a country in that they satisfy all four requirements to be considered one. No matter how morally unethical the process was to accomplish those 4 main requirements were.
Israel can’t even do that.
Might want to look into Wittgenstein’s Language Games, can help clarify the purpose and function (and at times pointlessness, not saying that is the case here) of the sorts of pedantic and ‘technically correct’ dysentery folks seem to engage in.
I’ll look into it! Sounds like a good read!
But I’m really not trying to be pedantic, it’s essentially just elementary school level politics that a country must have 1. Land, 2. Population 3. Government and 4. Sovereignty. It really isn’t negotiable.
they have land, an army, and a governing bureacracy to my mind that makes them a country
this is just stupid semantic games words mean what people use them to mean and if I went and asked anyone I know in real life they would say Israel is a country so it’s a country
If you asked some random cracker they’d tell you Taiwan was an independent country too. Doesn’t make it true.
Oh come on, fuck you! Not everything is black and white, and the hamas are fucking terrorists, Netanjahu is a fascist and the whole situation is really complex and an absolute shitshow for the human beings there who just want to live in peace. But anyway: just fuck you and your opinion.
Did the Palestinians not want to live in peace when the Israelis ethnically cleansed them from their homes where they had been living for generations? Surely they’ve tried peaceful protest in the past, but the desired result was not achieved. Do you really expect a people who were torn from their lands and oppressed for generations to just lie down and rot so you can have your “peace”? How can you even call it peace in the first place when you are constantly committing acts of violence against the oppressed group? That’s not peace, that’s just a war that you’re currently winning, and committing further war crimes will surely lead to more militant opposition, not less. Anyone who read the US counterinsurgency handbook could tell you that if you kill someone’s father, son, mother, or daughter, they will definitely hate you more as a result and probably will take up arms to oppose you.
