I hope that db0 doesn’t get defederated.
I would hope we can all remember that we can be pro-Palestine, anti-genocide without being anti-semitic, you can be anti-Hamas without being pro-genocide, you can believe in a state for the Jewish people and also be against the current government of Israel.
We are all on the fediverse for similar reasons, we’ll be a lot more successful trying to see the nuance in people’s views instead making enemies of each other out of righteous indignation. This goes for everyone
No you actually can't be anti-"the only group resisting genocide" while also being anti-genocide. This is like being against apartheid in south africa and telling the ANC to disarm.
You can't believe in an ethnostate settled on other peoples land and be against the government doing settlerism.
These positions are contradictory. Either you want the jewish supremacist ethnostate to settle palestine, you don't or you have no opinion. But you can't have an "israel" without jewish supremacism, that's why it's called "israel". It comes from judaism, it's about a land just for jews. You either support the palestinians right to return, or you support "israel". Because you can't have one without the other. This is not a policy thing. This is baked into the very foundation of this so-called country.
I agree with you that you can’t support the current Netanyahu government and IDF and be anti-genocide.
Hamas abducted and kills innocent people. That’s a fact. I can be anti-genocide and anti-attacks on civilians without contradicting myself.
A two-state solution is messy and complicated but it’s what the world needs. Arabs and Jews both have claims to the land throughout history. The Jews were displaced from it due to horrific antisemitism throughout history. One horrific act doesn’t deserve another. The west (and specifically the USA) needs to withhold its support, Israel can do what it’s doing specifically because it’s emboldened by western support. It’s surrounded by Arab nations that hates its people, it could be the ones being oppressed if not for the west and the west remind of that.
I'm glad that you acknowledge the horrific acts Hamas is guilty of. So many people on Lemmy are in straight up denial or even support of Hamas' violence. It is disturbing.
