I've seen some posts recently and I feel it's necessary to say this again, as someone who has been following, protesting and agonizing over this for more than 20 years:
Supporting Israel's right to exist and supporting Israeli's rights to not be raped, murdered, tied to their children and being burned alive is NOT the same as supporting Netanyahu's fascists government.
Yes. These things happened. I have friends who were direct victims and luckily survived along with their 10-month-old.
These things have been happening for a long time.
BUT
Supporting Palestinian rights to not be incarcerated in a ghetto, being carpet bombed, to not be the victims of ethnic cleansing, to not have their children shot for being angry is NOT the same as supporting Hamas either.
And yes, these things happen, and they have been happening for a long time, according to my Palestinian friend, whose family is just trapped in Gaza.
Hamas and Netanyahu are cut from the same cloth. They need each other and there are good indication that they support each other to a certain point.
Read up on how both Hamas and Netanyahu came into power, who their supporters are. Who is against them.
I still remember a time when there was hope. When there seemed to be a realistic chance of peace, stability and freedom.
We do not hear much about the thousand upon thousands who protested Netanyahu in the last years because the western press shies away from anything even remotely criticizing Israel. We don't hear about those who oppose Hamas at all, because they have been killed long ago, or struggle too much to have the energy to protest.
The leader of Hamas lives in a plush apartment in Qatar. He said it was a good thing that Palestinian women and children died (because marketing, ya know).
A state is never just the ones whose faces you know.
It's the children, the people who just want to live.
And the moment, you deny them that right, you are wrong. No matter how just your cause.
Israel and Palestine are its children, too, and they DESERVE that support. Every support they can possibly get.
There is an orchestrated social media campaign going on at the moment, headed by Russia (surprise), to make Hamas look like the fighters for freedom and happiness that they definitely aren't. But the US having to help Israel diverts their attention from Ukraine, so fuck that.
You need to get your own history, you need to look at this with a neutral gaze, beyond the videos you see online, beyond the pictures and the things you get told. Do not believe the things you get told.
Go back 30 years. Read up on PLO, Fatah, Hamas, Yitzak Rabin (who btw. pushed through LGBT equality in the Israeli army, just as an aside)
Read up on who murdered whom and how that led us to the situation today. (Look especially at what Netanyahu said about the Jewish religious fanatics that murdered Rabin)
Find out who the bad actors are in this and who really are the victims. You will realize very quickly that support for Israel or Gaza and Palestine is not the clear cut black and white issue it's made out to be.
And then ask yourselves if your really, REALLY want to be someone who is ok with the death and displacement of millions of civilians.
And how you can help the victims better in this.
Because no matter how just your cause, if that's the case, you are on the wrong side.

You people that keep slandering Biden with Hamas/Iranian/Russian propaganda are playing with fire. The Democrats are trying to restrain that prick Netanyahu while the Republicans are openly talking about forcibly relocating the Palestinians outside of Israel using US troops. That little traitor MAGA Mike Johnson wants to invite Netanyahu to address Congress like he was some almighty hero for Pete’s sake.
Make no mistake, Netanyahu is bucking President Biden to deliberately influence our election in favor of the Republicans.
If Trump wins or if we get a Republican Congress we are screwed and the Palestinians will be in even worse off than they are now.

Israeli police detainee hostages' relatives, bar them from attending anti-government protests.
It was never about the hostages for Bibi. It's always been about his own power, just like everything else.

There’s so much to criticize the german government the isr*el dickriding but also handling of the russo ukrainian war and I’m not talking about the early weeks of the war I’m talking about promising Russian and Ukranian deserters and conscientious objectors to be save here just to even think about sending back or not accepting them
Like 2022 the most emigrated were Ukrainians, and in 2023, Russian Federation was on 7th place on the list of nations where people emigrated to germany(is that how to word it)
And if I would talk about the government handling of Gaza this would get really long

Because fascist Netanyahu killed nearly 10x as many Palestian civilians as Hamas terrorists brutally murdered Israeli civilians. Hamas and Netanyahu both need to be removed.
You can always count on right-winger Netanyahu to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The world is sick of the endless cycle of terrorism against Israelis and the resulting over-reaction from the right-wing Israelis.
ENOUGH!

“I will not compromise on full Israeli security control over the entire area west of Jordan - and this is contrary to a Palestinian state.”
