Ultra Violet

This video I've shared before I know is very long (very worthwhile), but it's broken up into chapters so you could skip to the later chapters if want more about recent stuff, but the earlier chapters talk about the history of Palestine's resistance.
He's a Professor of Modern Arab studies, so it's facts only. I think it's very good because the interviewer presents both sides of the "arguments" and then let's him explain what history really says.

omg yes these accounts are reeeeking of being alts. We need Elle to check them out 

omg no! ur totally good!

hey <3 
wasn't trying to be rude here, just thought by your questions that link would be perfect for u bc it was short, straight to the point and removed a lot of the other events so you could get a general grasp on the situation since you were asking, and my first link might have been too wordy and long to read 
 
I see why it could be interpreted as rude, sorry abt that

It’s important to be poignant when discussing this topic because there is a group of people who can’t help but see empathy/equality as supporting t*rrorism. But I agree. I said I couple pages ago it’s important to take care of our mental health in times like these! If it gets too much, take care of yourself first!

This is literally just a woman saying someone informed her of something ijbol. You are so full of shit. That must be why you’ve dipped. Because you and your friends made dupes secretly because you really wanted to engage but didn’t wanna risk losing an account over how absurdly misleading and ignorant your values are!!!  I cannot lol
 
 
 
It is kinda eerie all these weirdly pro-Zionist newbies just kinda… popped up 

And like I’ve said 1 million times before, “the war on terror” does not exist. War is terror. Isis still exists today. Al-Qaeda still exists today. The only thing military powers have ever accomplished in going to war on poor countries to exterminate “terrorism” is creating more terrorists. You can’t accomplish the abolition of resistance. It doesn’t happen. Soldiers in tanks firing at schools and hospitals and destroying livelihoods as they move from town to town does not erase terror. It creates more. WAR. IS. TERROR.
 
WAR. IS. A. CRIME.
 
Gaza is probably the most prime example of this violence machine known as the western war on terror…….half of the population in Gaza are children. Children who have never known anything but military occupation, military COURT, and the lack of human rights that their israeli counterparts are allowed. What do you think they will believe of western society after this? When children’s entire families are killed… what do you think they will turn to? They will want Justice too. They are children as well, not just “people under 18”. There is a reason that the United States did not accomplish anything in its wars in Afghanistan or Iraq. There is a reason most Americans were made to believe terrorism was beat with the killing of Osama bin Laden….. because as long as the idea of conflict remains polarized, it is easy to accomplish whatever else a government wants to on the basis of eliminating the enemy!!!!! In this case, maybe it’s land, maybe it’s ethnic cleansing, who knows!!!!!! But from what we can see, over the last 60 days of war, the hostages have NOT been the emphasis. Or the priority. Preserving the sanctity of human life is not a value held by the Zionist far right wing fascist  governing body. This is the exact reason you see thousands of Israelis, protesting, BB Netanyahu. Even their own don’t even want this to be done in their name. Because never in history, has a genocide been so blatant.

If you want to believe the events of October 7th were random, and not the fallout of decades of dehumanization and illegal occupation , then I suppose you could say “Hamas attacked first”. 
 
but Hamas is a radical resistance militia , thus does not represent the millions of others living in the region, who are Palestinians. Meaning Arabs from the motherland. So no, “Palestine” did not start anything. And of the nearly 20,000 killed, Israel is still not willing to admit how many are innocent / how many are “Hamas”  which might be revealing…… because it is.
 
 
they don’t know 
 
and before people harp on the fog of war argument, this is one of the most sophisticated militaries on the planet that we are talking about here……With almost $40 billion a year ALONE allocated specifically for military funding……you cannot tell me that they don’t have access to, or just might not know where and who they are bombing.

this seems perfect for you

Well, we don’t have anything to really compare it to, because nothing has ever happened like it in history. Israel has been allowed to subjugate the people of Gaza and the West Bank to an apartheid (which means one group of people is allowed to have rights, whereas the other is not allowed certain rights) for decades. It’s extremely nuanced and complicated, and so for the most context I truly recommend reading some literature or watching some documentaries about it. 
 
the issue of today, is that Israel has declared “war” on Gaza. Which is the most densely populated city on earth, and also one of the poorest. They’ve been allowed to cut off water, electricity, foreign aid meaning medicine, food, and even fuel. Almost 60 hospitals have been bombed or destroyed. An incredible amount of schools, some of them funded by the United Nations. Not only does Israel not care about the lives of the hostages taken on October 7th, but on the same day it is being investigated that they killed the majority of their own people that day. Using a guerilla tactic known in Israel as the “Hannibal Directive” in which to prevent captives being taken, they are killed instead, in order to minimize the “threat”. All this to ask ourselves…. How can the occupier declare war on the occupied?
 
I understand my response is kinda scattered, and it’s truly because the situation would take me an entire novel to explain. But it should also be known that many of the prisoners in Israeli prisons are under the age of 18. so that’s why they are trying to exchange prisoners right now. Many have been held there for years and been robbed of their childhoods. Subject to abuse , starvation, etc.

honestly just google it bc there's so much information out there a youtube video or a documentary of sorts might be the best way to get information on it if you don't know, it will be hard to get a cohesive knowledge on this from just an answer here
 
this is from 2020, so it does not cover the recent events but it will teach you about the occupation

Well, israel committed a genocide killing 12,000 men, women and children. But some Lanablard members are celebrating that - because they havent taken their meds. That's it, it's all you missed.

The first line in this post is the only smart thing you've said all day. We don't like zionists around here. So, scram.

Ok I just need actual facts, not opinions about who started it. Like facts that you can back up.

didn't you just call someone a donkey lover? Sounds like racist zionist filth to me.

I just know it’s not easy to approach or even look at the topic (especially given where your support lies) without first accepting the disproportionate treatment of “Palestinian people” due to the apartheid state- And how many supporters of said state, are Inherently supporting of the racism , subjugation to violence , and lack of human rights they are allowed as well.

Because you’re racist?

im not here to debate I’m here to dismantle the state of Israel babe

y’all.. let’s just not interact w/ these weirdos 

god… Zionists are out in force tonight. So killing and torturing and raping and taking hostages is only bad when it isn’t an Israeli doing it, right? Uh-huh

Freak / Cult Leader.
Not as strongly as Ultraviolence, but it's like Cult Leader took one side and became Ultraviolence (dark), and the other side became Freak (light).

So I'm feeling really really awful because I'm realising it's obviously not "humanitarian" to put a pause on genocide. I knew that before, but I'm also realising that this pause will only benefit Israel to get hostages back. When the bombing continues, Palestinians will keep being wiped out as if nothing happened.
None of the released prisoners will be safe from it either, and it was a huge power move of Israel to capture yet more prisoners during the temporary ceasefire, to show Palestinians that is doesn't matter who's released, they will always have the power to imprison yet even more of them for anything.

So if we are cool using the term terrorist for Hamas' war crimes here, why won't we use the word terrorism for Israel's IDF and government? They've committed plenty of war crimes. They've killed hundreds of babies since October 7th.
What they've done is absolutely and unequivocally terrorism. There is no room for "but they didn't have the intention to kill 13000 innocents" in the definition of terrorism.
"the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."
If we're not going to use the same term for the same crimes, then we have some racism to address. (I'm happy to use war crimes as a term for both because i know the word terrorism is strongly linked to Islamophobia, but thats not you right?)

Israel, meanwhile, has been great at sharing misinformation on twitter, and not even removing the retweets when they're proven SO wrong, like that "Palestinian crisis actor". And the calendar in the hospital that they claimed had Hamas names on it, and it was literally just the days of the week. This case wasn't even on twitter. It was broadcast to everyone on the news and I don't think they ever addressed that they were wrong.
It's also just crazy to me that Israelis are allowed to post the most insensitive disgusting tiktoks I've ever seen, but aren't allowed to share a post showing empathy to Palestinians who are dying.

The way her voice in the spotify artist message is pitched I'm tired of this!.
