  but at least they’re not actively carrying out a genocide.

  It’s simply because they aren’t able to. Look man, Israel is undoubtedly carrying out a genocide and Netanyahu is war criminal who should be given a death sentence for the things he has done. But Israel at least pretends to be good. But if Palestine had the kind of military backing Israel does, Israel would simply not exist on the map today. And the Palestinians would be openly celebrating over the dead bodies of Israeli people.

    What is this based on? Like, could you (by any means) back up this claim?

        Thank you for providing that video!

        I hadn’t seen it before, and I can definitely understand why its content is disturbing.

        Granted, as I’m unable to understand the context beyond what AP themselves have provided, I’ll (for the sake of the argument) accept this as Palestinians celebrating an attack on the US.

        Then, my initial intention was to dissect the argument and explain why I can’t agree with your extrapolation^[i.e. “But if Palestine had the kind of military backing Israel does, Israel would simply not exist on the map today. And the Palestinians would be openly celebrating over the dead bodies of Israeli people.”]. However, to my surprise, your extrapolation might not be as far-fetched as I initially thought 😅. But, this ultimately depends on what you mean precisely. So, please allow me to ask further clarifications:

        • With “Israel would simply not exist on the map today.”, what do you mean exactly? Like, what would come in its place? What would become of the Israeli people?
        • With “And the Palestinians would be openly celebrating over the dead bodies of Israeli people.”, do you mean something similar like we see on the footage? Or something more grandiose? (And perhaps more sinister?)

    Agreed. Republicans only back Israel because of money. Idealistically they have far more in common with Hamas

      Not just Hamas. The culture and values of the Palestinian people in general often align more closely with American conservatives than with liberals.

  No I shouldn’t
