I didn't see one made so I thought it should be up.

  • Israel has officially declared war
  • 800 dead in Israel, 2,400 injured and increasing. Said be 9x worse than America's 9/11 per capita
  • Israel will cut off Gaza's water and halt food shipments
  • Missile strikes from Gaza hitting in Ashod, Israel
  • Missile Strikes from Israel hitting Gaza
  • U.S. sending our largest air carrier (largest in the world) to the area. May already be there
  • Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has attacked Israel as well. Israel firing rockets to Lebanon


That's what I know so far... Gotta work. Shit's crazy and it's only the beginning.

It's sad that it has come to this. Both sides have done terrible things and they both continue to do terrible things. It's sad that we couldn't help them make peace in the 50 years since the last war.

Fuck Israeli leadership/military. They are as evil as Hamas.

Deliberately cuting off 2 million peoples water is not acceptable.

Hope everybody is buckling up for the right wings Benghazi 2.0 since we have confirmed Americans that were killed.

Their narrative was already that Biden is personally responsible for the attack, so I expect theyll get even more wild and unhinged by the end of the week.

  • Republican candidates and their mouthpieces on cable news have already blamed Biden for this.
  • Because Congress is paralyzed without a Speaker of the House, I don't know if we're able declare war in support of Israel if Syria, Iran, or anyone else interjects themselves into this conflict.
  • If we do go to war in support of Israel, we're going to have more than 300 vacancies in our military leadership thanks to Tommy Tuberville's political stunt.

Yes, both sides when one side is directly affecting the other IS appropriate. People are confusing when "both sides" is being used as deflection with when both sides are being used to decipher causation.

Netanyahu and his cabinet have been trying to break their democracy for a long while. Hamas are far from the good guys here. Dehumanizing your opponents is one step removed from genocide. I feel bad for the innocent Palestinians and Israelis that are entrenched in this. What a murky situation. I don't know nearly enough about it to opine in greater detail.

A lot of us are in this same boat on the outside. This conflict has been long rooted with a lot of layers that most people can't keep up with.

And it's at a point where you kinda stay tight lipped because talking to anyone on either side can come with a very triggered response. Even with both populations existing outside in "neutral" areas like the US, so many of them can't see past the opposition at this point to look towards peace amends. Probably as irreconcilable as things can get.

I've always had sympathy for the Palestinian people. Israel has oppressed them for generations and that's wrong.

That said...

I just watched a video where Hamas militants killed a young girl at the music festival, stripped her naked and paraded her body through the streets. As they passed, regular civilians, not soldiers, ran over to spit on her corpse.

And just like that, my sympathy is gone. I know someone is going say the Israelis are just as bad and blah blah. You're not wrong, but it doesn't matter. The emotional side of my brain can't see a video like that and then offer any type of support to those people.

It's difficult to apply our own morality to theirs as, truth be told, we've had it EXTREMELY easy compared to them. You can have sympathy for both Israeli and Palestine people, and channel that anger you may have towards the leaders making the decisions that breed this sort of violent mentality.

https://www.welcometohellworld.com/being-made-to-collapse/

Violence comes in many forms and can be either slow and grinding or sudden and percussive. What a victory of messaging it is then to be able to define what violence is and what violence is not and expect for good reason that much of the western world will adopt your terms. Leaving your enemy having to fight back against a force that isn't even hitting them.

I think it should go without saying that I abhor war crimes against civilians even in what I consider to be a just cause of liberation. And Palestinians yearning for escape from decades of oppression and confinement and apartheid is indeed a just cause.

I also think that it is very convenient that the dominant power in any given conflict almost always gets to commit their own war crimes from a remove via blockade and sanction or missile and bomb. Each resulting individual civilian death observed from an abstract sanitized distance in the form of a building collapsing. Being made to collapse.

Fuck Israeli leadership/military. They are as evil as Hamas.

Deliberately cuting off 2 million peoples water is not acceptable.

Also the fact that theyre in charge of this speaks so much. Israel's plan seems to have always been to completely displaced them little by little, just enough damage at a time so countries wouldnt intervene.

Hamas is doing an evil, terrible thing. Some just just eant to kill Isaraelis regardless, but for some its also a last desperate attempt to get back at Israel. I think most of us would be equally radicalized had we been raised under the same circumstances. Now Israel more than likely will squash them and make life harder for survivors.

Also, if Hamas fired over 7,000 rockets, wouldnt you think Israeli intelligence wouldve had knowledge of this prior?
