  You expect me to read obvious propaganda? It’s just Palestine playing the victim. Again. Because they’re cowardly bastards.

    Yes, I do expect people to read articles before responding to them. What is the point of using discussion-based social media if you’re not here for an educated discussion on the topic? If you want to have a partisan screaming match just use Twitter.

      I wouldn’t bother engaging. They’re not commenting in good faith, they’re just trying to annoy us and waste our time.

    Palestine playing the victim

    Umm, yes? Because they literally are the victim? Of an active genocide that started in October last year, and of apartheid and colonisation that has been going on for decades.

    Until Israel goes back to the 1949 borders at least (realistically, that leaves the Gaza strip insanely restricted, and the UN’s 1947 plan for Gaza was so much better), and leaves Palestine alone and punishes Israeli settlers, while ceasing treating Palestinian Israelis as second-class citizens, Israel will remain by far the worse party in this scenario.

    But no, it’s definitely Israel that are the good guys here. 🤦‍♂️
