Dying for News

I'm not a REAL military strategist, but, if the current Israeli government really wanted to whack Hamas leaders, instead of carpet bombing Gaza and wiping out its captive population of Palestinian families, while we watch helplessly in horror, just as we watch helplessly in horror while Russia's mafia state does the same to Ukrainian families, why isn't it bombing 5-star hotels in Qatar or deploying its world famous assassins to off 'em in their 4000 thread count sheets, instead of pretending it's still David and not Goliath, slaughtering helpless, unarmed, and trapped Palestinian families - just as Hamas did to families in Israel on October 7?

No, please, stop. The facts are quite clear. Netanyahu is a proven unconscionable liar, crook and autocrat who should be in prison, his government openly genocidal in its rhetoric, the settlers homicidal fundamentalist zealots, many of them from Russia, armed to the teeth, who've been terrorizing Palestinian families for months. Years. Israelis themselves, ordinary families like the ones slaughtered by Hamas terrorists, have been in their streets, demonstrating against Netanyahu and his genocidal government for months. Years. They know how dangerous he and his government are and they want him gone. He's their Trump. Period. End of.

And now we know - we know, ffs - he and his government have been deliberately and with intent empowering Hamas for years.

Years? Decades.

The fact is, and it is a fact, not a conspiracy theory, not anti-Israel/pro-Palestine sentiment (which is no such thing, it's pro-citizen sentiment, but whatever, it wouldn't be a pointlessly divisive war of words without incendiary labels, would it) a fact, Netanyahu and his government have been in bed with Hamas leaders for years. Why? Because extremists are always on the same side against civil society, they're against you, me, the Israeli citizens demonstrating against their corrupt government, the Palestinian citizens just trying to survive from day to day without going stark-raving mad as I surely would be by now, that's why.

It makes no sense, no one is safer, and it doesn't matter to the dead children and their bereaved parents which extremist pulled the trigger.

I. Would. Be. Insane. With. Grief. And. Rage.

What about you? Pretend for a minute instead of defending this eye for an eye for an eye and so on and so forth and more of the same etc etc on Twitter, slandering and attacking people who don't share your apparent zeal for reactionary slaughter, you're facing down the fact - in real life - that you and your children have no place to be on this Earth anymore, that even this open air prison you've been consigned to is being destroyed, and no one is offering you and your children refuge because the leaders who can are pretending the Goliath bombing you is still David and supplying them with ever more bombs and you with, well, what difference does it make if they send you food or not. There's nowhere to eat it anyway.

Sorry, but there's only one side to be on here, mine, your own, humanity's, and if you think by slandering your co-citizens for pointing out the insanity of responding to a terrorist attack on Israelis by carpet bombing Palestinians trapped in Gaza, which, by the way and in case you haven't bothered to google while you mindlessly rah rah this so-called defence, is 41 km long and 10 km wide, you need to climb down off your virtual hobby horse and get a life.

It's painful watching the news. I still take it as my responsibility, the least I can do, bear witness to news delivered conveniently to my home by journalists, many of whom are killed in the process, targeted for slaughter now by terrorists and governments alike, such is the decreasing daylight between them these days.

Ukraine is defending itself from Russian state terrorism.

Israel isn't defending itself. It's raining death and destruction down on Palestinian families. Families just like yours, mine, and the Israeli ones slaughtered by Hamas terrorists.
