Israeli–Palestinian conflict

Far-left groups, like far-right groups, get played like a fiddle because they make themselves really dumb with their naive rage. But no level of juvenile dimness and naivete weighs on the only point that matters here: you can't oppress, kill and starve millions of innocent people.

The protesters are just dills being used to deflect from the appalling subjugation and now forcible starvation of average Mo Palestinians. Even more sickening, some huge percentage of the population is under 15, meaning hundreds of thousands of children are literally being physically and psychiatrically tortured, because that's what mass death, destruction and starvation means in reality.

Absolute nothing Hamas does or has done, no matter how similarly repugnant, whether as religious mental cases, degraded outcasts or Iran/Russian proxies changes what is being done to innocent people.

WiaN, you're wilfully being dissociative and denying your own smarts if you think anything more than a minor fraction of Nutteryahoo's actions have been carried out unwillingly, his hand forced. Even if we generously grant the creep an absurd 50% justification for starving children to near-death, he deserves to be hanged on the same international gallows as Hamas and their sponsors.

You don't take up a satirical lobotomised psychopath persona just to win internet arguments. What is wrong with you? Do you find mass death and destruction entertaining, like a board game or something? Look, we all divorce ourselves from the true reality of grim things, but this horror is still happening, right now.

Every single vile creep on the planet, from Bush, Cheney, Trump, Putin and Netanyahu to Stalin has mastered the art of grievance deflection, as if they are being pushed into mass killing because some fool is breaking windows on a campus somewhere. These are entry-level skills for Machievellian narcissists, yet people still fall for it every time.

Don't forget, the same fist-waving mobs supporting Netanyahu used the same arguments to wreck Iraq and Afghanistan, and ultimately an entire region and tens of of millions of lives. Just because there were no consequences doesn't change a damned thing about what they did.

Yet we're horrified when a single injustice happens to a neighbour. It takes discipline to not turn horrible reality into a meme in the mind's eye.

Not even someone hacking off your testacles and hanging you in a cage in jungle somewhere for a year justifies returning to physically and psychiatrically torture their children. Even worse, imagine all of the sick, disabled and mentally disabled people being stomped into the dirt like worthless bugs as people clamour to survive.

There's a level of repulsive degradation here up with the worst behaviour in human history. And remember, it's always worse again when the full story is revealed, leaving every big mouthing justifier scurrying under the nearest rock like a cockroach to pretend they never supported it.

There are no 'sides' in these situations, FFS.

Sorry, carry on. I've said my bit and won't go on like the above for a while. It's just important to sometimes engage the brute and brutal facts, imagining that every one of those hundreds and thousands of people are the victim of the brutal crime down the road.

It's far more horrific than we can grasp because we simply can't mentally multiply the brutal crime down the road by hundreds of thousands of people. So, instead we treat it as Facebook chess or something.

That said, even I agree we can't live in the mindset of my post above 24/7 lest we too go mad.

Israel now launching its offensive against Rafah.
Biden giving the Israeli government the green light.
According to Biden, this is all just "self-defence", and anyone who opposes genocide is an "anti-Semite".
Tom Cotton, Republican fascist - but who agrees with Biden - has just declared that all opponents of the genocide in Gaza are "terrorist sympathisers".
Biden doesn't openly use this language himself (yet), but he is happy that Cotton is giving him extra political support.
Meanwhile, cops in the US have arrested over 2300 anti-genocide protestors, on the orders of Democrat politicians, state and federal.
Democrats and fascist Republicans are forming a political alliance with the aims of implementing police state measures against pro-Palestinian opposition.
There is an orchestra of lies:
Biden is playing the "anti-Semitic"slanders,
while the Republicans are playing the "pro-terrorist" slanders.
Togehter, they are attempting to compose a symphony of police state repression.
It is also worth notiig that here are many Republican politicans who are open anti-Semites (yet Biden is not mentioning them), and the Biden administration is arming pro-Holocaust fascist militia in Ukraine.
Time to take heed of all the contradictions, and draw some necessary conclusions.
