“Every time a child cried, they would threaten him with a weapon to shut him up.”
She added: “I wanted to believe that Eitan would be well treated. Apparently not. Those people are monsters.”
Eitan’s whole family, including his mother and two sisters, aged 10 and 20 months, were abducted on what some in Israel now refer to as “Black Saturday”.
How many Palestinians were forced to watch their loved ones bombed by the Israeli government?
Unfortunately we live in a world where more than one thing is fucked up at the same time. This poor boy’s suffering doesn’t lessen the suffering of the Palestinians, it only adds to the tragedy.
Well put
You could’ve said this is fucked up and separated Palestinians from Hamas, but you had to flip it into an attack on Israel.
You can say Hamas is fucked up without mentioning Israel.
I can also say Israel is fucked up because they’re the ones with a functioning government yet continue to pursue apartheid.
Tell me you know nothing about Israeli politics without saying you know nothing about Israeli politics (the country is run by a bunch of literal criminals. Do they care about the Palestinians? No. But do they care about the Israelis who aren’t directly related to them, and even then not always? Also no. If someone told you “Israel the only democracy in the middle east” you’d call bullshit, and you’d be right, so don’t pull out a “functioning government” when it’s convenient. they are run by fascists, standing up to those in power is becoming harder and harder, just look at the last few elections and the reactions to protests)

Yeah, but Saddam harbors Al-Queda and has mobile anthrax trucks. Also, WMD’s. We have to attack before he attacks us.
Don’t mind the downvotes. History will prove you right, while those supporting this ethnic -cleansing will forget they voted for Bush.
I agree with you. Don’t mind the downvotes
The pro-whataboutism stance. A rarity!
