i think “the palestine/israel conflict is complicated” gets utilized in a lot of violently dismissive ways that make ppl understandably wary. i still think it’s worth acknowledging as complicated, not in the sense of both side-ism (bro we have been watching the systematic genocide of civilians for 3 months but also 70+ years)—because israel’s actions, policies, and resources all originate from within the playbooks of the fuckin white supremacist exploitationist Imperial Core, bc the state of israel and zionists produce powerful propaganda and strategically tap into other discourses (like associating zionism -> the state of israel -> The Jewish People and therefore critique of israel is anti-semitism). did you know there are evangelical christians in the US who truly believe peaceful coexistence between jewish and palestinian communities in this region is a sign of the actual biblical rapture? that endless warfare is because groups of human beings are diametrically, existentially opposed to each other’s well-being?????? and the reality is just land grabs, and murder, and blood on israeli hands just like there is blood on american hands for a nation state shaped on violent colonialism. like the complicated part is this is a hyper visible atrocity and it’s not an isolated issue, not in time or space or anything :(
