Comment on Boy George pulled from West End performance run after releasing pro-Israel song

Hamas was also financed by Israel in order to sink the efforts of the PLO. The secular PLO looked like it might actually get some peaceful recognition of statehood and Israel knew a violent Islamist leadership would torpedo that. Israel has been fighting against Palestinian statehood, limiting movement of Palestinians, controlling resources, supporting “settler” bandits that colonize and kill Palestinians, etc.

Israel has been slowly taking over Palestinian land and killing their people for decades. The Palestinians can’t vote in Israeli elections. Their statehood has been blocked by Israel so they have limited diplomatic solutions. What peaceful option do you propose they should have done?

The Oct 7 attacks killed about 1200 Israeli civilians and soldiers. In response, Israel has killed 1200 Hamas militants and 82,000 civilians, wounded a further 174,000, blocked humanitarian aid, leveled apartments, hospitals, schools, etc. Acting like both sides are bad when one is fighting for survival, and the other is committing a genocide is just arguing in support of genocide. If you’re somehow still ignorant on this topic, I suggest you do some more digging into the history of Israel and Palestine. If you have learned about it and still support Israel then go fuck yourself.

peaceful option Acknoledge the right of israel instead of sending rockets. Stop voting religious fanatics in.

fighting for survival 1951: 0.9m population 2026: 5.6m population

This amount of population is unsustainable on the land. They could only boom like this due to foreign aid. They have barely any economy themselves.

82k civillians It’s a guerilla war with undeclared combatants. Wiki acknoledges abt 80k without declaring them civillian. Anyhow 1200 hamas millitants is obviously bs. Also hamas using that war style only works with the help of civillians. They are complicit to some extend.

go fuck yourself You know why everyone is fighting for this little pile of dirt? Religion. They all think their religion started there and want to claim the mountain theirs. There’s alot of money in the pot to make you think their side is correct and you actually being so zealot about it to insult people so randomly shows.
