    Settler colonialism is how we ended up in this situation. There is no ‘both sides’ when one is engaging in supremacy and genocide while the other is resisting eradication and fighting for their human rights

    Edit:

    For the people who are downvoting. Equating the violence here is the same as equating the violence in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It’s been over 76 years of violent apartheid, supremacy, and ethnic cleansing.

    In the Shadow of the Holocaust by Masha Gessen, the situation in Gaza is compared to the Warsaw Ghettos. The comparison was also made by a Palestinian poet who was later killed by an Israeli airstrike. Adi Callai, an Israeli, has also written on the parallels in his article The Gaza Ghetto Uprising and expanded upon in his corresponding video

      You’re getting down voted because you’ve missed the point. It doesn’t matter why the current situation is happening, calling for genocide as a response to genocide makes you just as guilty as the people you hate.

        Kami is, which is why I downvoted them.

        Palestinian resistance is not calling for genocide.

            You blamed the current situation on the ‘cycle of revenge,’ which grossly misrepresents the reality of Zionism and the reaction of Palestinian resistance.

              And you keep ignoring the point that it doesn’t fucking matter. You can’t solve genocide with more genocide.

                I mean you can… you can’t commit genocide if all your people are dead.

                But that still involves genocide, and maybe this is a hot take, genocide is bad. So we shouldn’t take that option.

                Where are you getting that I’m calling for genocide?

                Palestinian resistance is fighting for ending the apartheid, for equal rights, and for right of return. Not genocide.

                  Do you not read the context of comments you replied to? The guy I was responding to specifically said he hopes that what’s happening to Palestinians happens to the Israelis.

                    And I already condemned them for that, so why are you attributing that to me or the Palestinian resistance
