I actually loved Jezebel, because it was maybe the only news site I encountered (as a dude not particularly in the know), that actually talked about women’s issues like my wife does.
People got very upset that they were opinionated, but that’s the whole point; why would you expect anything else on a site literally named Jezebel?
He doesn’t give a shit about the hostages, he wants to expel Palestinians from north Gaza, if not all of it. He will bomb all the tunnels where they’re being held, then blame Hamas for “putting them in the way of the bombs”.
They’re literally going to destroy or damage all buildings large enough to house any significant number of people, and certainly all care centers, to try to force Palestinians to accept resettlement elsewhere, or to ensure they all die of lack of resources.
It’s illegal to attack hospitals, regardless of whether you “give them notice” of the attack or not. Fucking criminals.
If I came into your house and drove you by force into the garage, I don’t think you’d want a “2-house solution” that allows you to live there, either.
And no, I don’t think that essentially saying, “why don’t the Palestinians wait around being killed quietly, to see if the youths protesting today will massively change Israel’s trajectory when they get into politics in 20 years?” is a reasonable, measured, or humane stance.
“Your honor, I know it might seem oddly coincidental that I mostly shoot at criminals that are standing next to schools, but I assure you that the large number of child casualties is not my intent. In fact, it’s the kids’ fault that they let the criminals stand next to them!”
“Rising up” insomuch as they were protesting his proposed changes, not in that they were contemplating actually removing him from power, or even trying to oust/disband/etc Likud.
Sure, but it wasn’t saving any Palestinians lives in the process OR the goal. Most Israelis weren’t opposing Netanyahu because they were against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians, they just didn’t like what he was doing to prevent punishment for his corruption. They wanted to replace him, but it would just be with another genocidal guy.
Because Israel will never let them back in if they leave. That is not hypothetical; it happened to thousands of Palestinians during the 6-day war, and their families are still stuck in Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon today.
The media will literally wring their hands until this genocide is over, because as we’re all finding out, no one is willing to stand up to the US or China just to save some poor Palestinians or Uyghurs from being ‘displaced’ (from life).
Nah, don’t try to “both sides” this; they’re actively pushing this into a genocide as we speak, and most of the world is sitting back and watching in horror while people like you try to minimize it.
“Sitting at home, looking on in horror and unable to do anything, you’re just as bad as the people literally murdering thousands.”
Fuck the Israeli government, and all who support them.
