Americans were terrorists (not an army, but a militia, when fighting King George).

Terrorism doesn't even have to kill people (though it often does).

also, genocide doesn't even have to kill anybody (though it often does).

War kills, no exceptions. It's rarely, if ever, military targets only.

What a confusing time to be a non-Israeli Jew that supports the Palestinian peoples from Israeli brutality. I guess the same could be said about non-trump americans? Fuck brutality. Peace for all, regardless of political stripes.

I'm on the side of unarmed civilians with pro-social impulses.

A lot of parallels between netanyahu and trump, both barely have majority voting support and are starting false wars to delay domestic investigations.

Millions of Israeli Jews feel the same as you and have been voting against netanyahu.

Calling the genocide in Gaza terrorism cheapens the word. What is happening in Gaza is far beyond terrorism. If not for the pictures and video evidence, it would be a natural response to not want to believe something so utterly horrible and depraved to be contemporary.

I understand the sentiment of the meme though. It’s easy to believe what Israel is doing is righteous, if their victims are not considered human.

How about the dead Afghani’s? Iraqi’s? They were all terrorists…really??

Edit: Typo

The USA has carpet bombed entire nations, more than one, into the dust.

They weren't all enemy combatants, either.

Israel thinks they are in the right, just as the USA believed it was right (and Germany, Japan, UK, Russia, et al).

I don't think they want a two-state solution, and I think the Palestinians agree, they also don't want a two-state solution. Their long-term goals are to destroy the other (from the river to the sea).

Do all Palestinians and Jews agree? Of course not. But, the violent fundamentalists of both do agree.

History has proven that you can totally destroy Jerusalem, and fundamentalist Islam, Jews, and Christians will be more than happy to fight over the Holy Rubble.

How do you resolve this? The territory has been owned by Jews, Muslims, Christians; Babylon, Ottoman Empire, United Kingdom, Rome, Greeks, and more.
