    If you dont 100% agree with every action of Israel’s government, then you’re their enemy.

    It’s a common thing with far right religious extremists.

    Fucking children with nuclear briefcases, terrifying. Guterres’s speech was very, very balanced.

    From 2019:

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has banned two Democratic U.S. congresswomen from visiting the country and the Palestinian territories this weekend, according to a government official.

    The two representatives have been vocal critics of the Israeli government and Trump’s unwavering support of Netanyahu. They also voted against a nonbinding resolution condemning a Palestinian-led movement calling for boycotts, divestment and sanctions in Israel, which they have repeatedly defended.

    Anyone see a pattern here?

    If you’re not on the side of Israel and USA you’re on the side of Hamas, Russia, Iran, NK and China. Which is unsurprising given UN’s record.

        I know I am so so sick of these complex views on the middle east. What is with internet comment threads that makes them lack all definite stances? I been saying this for years, the internet needs less middle ground and more incoherent dogmatic positions.

      So what about the stance of not supporting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians while condemning Hamas actions. Ever consider that its possible to be against both sides?

      It’s not a game of sportsball. You can be on the side of people getting murdered who have no direct control of the decisions of the governments and organisations committing atrocities.

      That’s the UN’s job in fact. They aren’t picking a side, and they are saying both sides have done wrong. All that’s happened is the UN acknowledging an objective fact, if you consider killing civilians and targeting civilian infrastructure to be wrong.
