“But they are allowed to defend themselves” says the Western presidents.

This has nothing to do anymore with defending themselves. This is just another path to their genocide mission.

I'm curious. Put yourself in Israel's shoes. You've been massively attacked by Hamas from Gaza.

What would you do next? How would you approach this war?

How would you defend yourself to make sure this never happens again.

If i try to invade your house and take it for myself, if i make you a second class citizen and subject you to constant violence and dehumanization using disproportionate force, you have every right to shoot me in the face.

If i lock you in an open air prison and arrogantly hold a huge trance festival dorectly outside the walls of your prison that celebrates peace, love, and happiness, with 0 regard for you as a human being, while you and your family waste away under my opression, I'd deserve to be shot, because thats fucking demented, unnecessary and quite frankly, callous to the point of being soulless.

If i even once had the nerve to suggest the festival celebrated peace between me and the people who are locked in said prison and cant even attend because their race inst allowed outside of those walls, even if they could afford the expensive as fuck tickets, when they are destitute because of being locked in this prison, than that would make me so fucked up, I wouldn't blame anyone for shitting on my corpse afterwards.

And finally, i can say this no problem because its so fucking easy not to do any of these things, even on my worst days of my life, i have no worries that i might be so stupid to do any of these things even for a second.

The whole situation is the result of Israel's land theft, apartheid, suffocating blockade on Palestinians in the first place.
