      When this whole conflict started I definetely had sympathy for Isreal, it would suck to be under rocket and terrorist attacks frequently.

      However this response is so massively disproportioned and going on for so long I don’t think it could be described as anything else but a total genocide.

      And American is providing the weapons … disgusting.

        Two years and you still don’t see who the aggressor is?

        In 2023 alone before October 7, Israel killed 242 Palestinians which includes 47 children. Israel killed 47 Palestinian children in 2023 alone before October 7.

        The Gaza ghetto uprising might have been gruesome and unpalatable, but it’s Gaza that was defending itself against Israel, not the other way around.

        While it might have been a response initially, it was probably quickly seen as a perfect opportunity to finally set long-hedged extinction plans in motion.

        Yeah, this is more of a camp. A camp where they can concentrate a specific sub-population of people into.

        Don’t know if there’s a specific word for that.

    Wife has been binging Law and Order SVU recently and I noticed there’s a lot of episodes where they have abused children turn into abusive adults, with the explanation that it’s a natural response of the brain trying to get in a position where it will never be vulnerable again.

    No idea if that theory has any merit, but if true I wonder if that can also happen in a larger scale, to an entire society instead of just to an individual.

      Zionists arent victims they are supremecists. They were up to the building Israel plan (violently when necessary) before ww2 even happened. They are simply racist terrorists.

      It has literally been happening in the region for over 80 years. Why do you think Hamas even exists?

      Once they’re all in there they’ll claim “hamas is using the camp for terrorism” and just blanket it with 2000 lbs dumb bombs, while calling it a “precision strike”.
