VERONICA SWEEPERS '23

The Israel-Palestine issue is not complicated; an apartheid regime abuses and oppresses an indigenous ethnic group who don't have the same rights as others. The only reason anyone thinks it's complicated is because they assume if it were simple, the news would've told them so.

Really Israel-Palestine is one of the easier conflicts to understand on the world stage; conflicts like Ukraine or Syria are much more complicated. It's obvious at a glance that there's one group in power and another group being treated very badly by that group, but because the press frames it as a complicated issue with its sympathies wildly slanted toward the apartheid regime, people assume it can't be as simple as what it looks like at first glance.

It is, though. Israel is exactly the abusive apartheid regime it looks like on the surface. Remember this as the bodies pile up and Gaza is turned into a smoldering crater. This is exactly what it looks like.

This Is Exactly What It Looks Like

Can't stop tripping on how fast the west moved from arming and applauding Nazis to backing an actual genocide.

From Applauding Nazis To Backing An Actual Genocide In Under A Month

You see kids, Israel needs to keep dropping bombs on buildings full of children and targeting civilians with siege warfare and murdering Palestinians in the West Bank and censoring the media and arresting dissidents and killing journalists, because if it doesn't, the bad guys will win.

No no you don't understand: if Israel stops killing children by the thousands in its relentless bombing campaign, the nation could be taken over by murderous terrorists.

If Israel Stops Murdering Thousands Of Children, The Bad Guys Might Win

How high does the pile of mutilated and dismembered children need to be before it's high enough? Give me a specific height please, in meters or in yards.

They don't have truth on their side, and they don't have morality on their side, so all they can ever do is attack the sources of the ideas and information that are opening people's eyes to the criminality of Israel and its western allies.

Israel Has Permanently Lost The Argument

Israeli ground forces have ramped up activities in Gaza in what anonymous US officials are reportedly telling the press is a "rolling start" to the long-anticipated ground invasion.

Israel has also crippled Gaza's largest telecommunications service, which had been the enclave's last remaining contact with the outside world after Israel knocked out all the others. Humanitarian organizations and mainstream press outlets now say they have lost communication with their contacts in Gaza in a level of information blackout we're unaccustomed to seeing in modern times.

"This information blackout risks providing cover for mass atrocities and contributing to impunity for human rights violations," Human Rights Watch correctly notes.

Israel Cut Off Gaza's Communications Because Murderers Don't Like Witnesses

You see this kind of thing over and over again from Israel apologists. They tell you things you absolutely know to be false in your own direct perception, over and over and over again, in the hope that they can overwhelm your mind. That's what's happening when they tell you Israel is "defending itself" and "targeting Hamas" when they're mostly killing women and children and bombing entire city blocks into powder, and that's what's happening when they tell you over and over again that you hate Jews and love terrorists even when you know for a fact that you don't.
