When you live in constant war, its really easy to instill fear and foment hate. That's why netenyahu keeps up the war machine, its his primary avenue to power.

Poor Isreal. Why won't their victims just let them steal their land and rape their families in peace, eh? /s

More pointing out that its easy to look from the outside and wonder why people are so awful, but humans are easily controlled with fear.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 0 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, I would also fear those subhumans whom I have killed and expelled to "colonize"

Now use this logic about the nazis and hitler

[–] MonkRome@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, of course, the Nazis controlled their populace with hate and fear, im failing to see why this is suddenly controversial.

[–] Rat_in_a_hat@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

Or...they're just awful and feel they have a right to colonize.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

When you keep colonizing people of course you will be in constant war

I think you lack reading comprehension. Reread both sentences and maybe don't jump to conclusions before activating your brain and comprehending the full point.

Most accounts of early use meaning freedom for Palestine not just from Israel, but from Jordan and Egypt as well. The one group that used it in a mostly genocidal undertone was the PLO in the 1960's who believed it meant returning the whole region to Palestinian rule, and 'removing' all people that immigrated in the last hundred years.

This you? Please enlighten me on how returning back to a pre-colonial state is genocidal.

“Please mr. kkhamas let us genocide in peace, why are you resisting? 😭”

There is a difference between ending colonialism and removing people from land. I find it absolutely crazy that people that have no issue with immigration anywhere else in the world think it is suddenly bad there. The issue isn't with Jews simply existing in the middle east, its with Israel's colonialism and genocide of Palestine. Isreal can stop existing without the genocide of the Jewish people. Removing all Jews is evil, just as removing all Palestinians is evil, they are both genocide.

The issue is one of power, colonialism, and Israel's genocide. Those can change without causing another genocide.
