Comment on The lamest countries
NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 9 months agoPeople like you always seem to wanna start the story at October 7th while ignoring any relevant history before it. In case you don’t know, israel and the zionist project took over Palestinian land and as a result almost a million Palestinians fleed palestine. Amongst many others who were killed. What I find interesting is that zionists in their correspondance with the British at the time is that they weren’t pressed about getting palestine to be their homeland, they were okay in finding somewhere else. One of the other possibilities was Uganda for example.

The Jewish people came from Egypt no? And occupied other people’s land. And when they did take over Palestine it wasn’t in its entirety. If you count the number of years they lived there and had control over the land vs the amount they didn’t. Then you’d see the amount that they didn’t is greater than the amount they were there.

No. They likely didn’t come from egypt.
NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Where did they come from then?

Yeah, so mass rape and terrorism is OK in your book of the ends justify the means?
Reality is Israel was in talks with Saudi Arabia to normalize relations and Iran didn’t want that at all and they gave Hamas the green light to attack.
Everything that happens in that region is about Saudi Arabia and Iran.

No one said its okay. You’re very good at strawmaning me. If Hamas did commit such acts then of course there should be proper justice. However, proper justice isn’t blowing up innocent people and children. Just like you don’t blow up a school when there’s a school shooter.

We agree on that. Where we disagree is in saying Hamas didn’t start this current conflict. They certainly did. Has shit been going on here for millenia…of course. The “strawman” was to remind you of the fact this opened with mass rape and murder at a music festival – that’s a fact.
You seemed to argue that thousand years of history seemingly justifies that and I’m telling you that it does not.

My “bias” is not an argument. Everyone has their biasias. The problem is that israel continues to lie on the narrative and just in this short span of time we’ve seen their lies come out. Take the “40 beheaded babies” for example. I’m open to an independent investigator.
Also it’s very rich. You really like to dig on this issue of mass killing and rape and take issue with it but don’t take issue with israel doing the same exact thing and worse back. That is a double standard hypocrisy.
Keep strawmaning me. I never said it justifies it.

Many, many people have been fighting over the land for thousands of years if you really want to go back. As far as I’m concerned, the land belongs to whoever can hold it.

Here’s a question for you, is morally okay to kill innocent children and women?
Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
If that was the qualification for losing the right to the land then the Palestinians would have lost it long ago

They have lost it… They all live in open air concentration camps…

Where did I say that’s the qualification for who has the right for the land? Aren’t jewish people who emigrated there anyways from Egypt? Ill ask again, is it morally okay to kill innocent civilians? Innocent children and women?
