free our political prisoners

Damn.

In Tel Aviv people are out partying, normal city life events, social gatherings etc

In Gaza it’s just straight bodies being wheeled in and out of hospitals, air strikes, rubble

Not sure if I should be sharing here but a friend of mine in the US army seems to think they are being deployed to a nearby country over the coming weeks

Will they now claim every person in Gaza they shot was a Hamas because they couldnt evacuate on time?

US really should be held highly responsible for Israel actions given they tacitly give permission through funding

As long as reporters on the ground corroborate, it won’t matter how many people point cameras at dead kids

There is none its too late

How will they be held responsible?

This is gonna get ugly & whats gut wrenching is we can’t do anything about it which pisses me off even more…

Disgusting

Why is Egypt keeping the border closed btw?

Someone on tiktok took a screen recording of the snapchat globe feature where you can look at snap stories tagged under israel and snap stories tagged under palestine. I’m out rn but I encourage someone to find it on twitter or something and post it ITT

Yes

They won't be

Secular government afraid of a muslim coup

Ah that's also why the Muslim Brotherhood was forbidden right?

By who ? All of EU agrees with the US and Russia is in a losing war so that legit leaves no one to support Gaza at all

I suspect you think there is, in fact, no rightful division of land between Israel and Palestine (me as well, although of course I think the real outrage committed by the British was when they fomented Arab Revolt and destroyed the Ottoman Empire in the Near East), the problem is that even by 1945, ~30% (and for obvious reasons, growing) of the population thought that there must be a division of the land and was willing to use violence to achieve its goals (similar scenario to how Partition came about in India). We can say Partition (in both Palestine and India) was a mistake in hindsight, but, for this reason, at the time, it seemed like a good way to reduce bloodshed. To be frank, I'm not sure what exactly my fellow Redditors are saying, but I imagine and hope the point they're trying to get at is not that the 1948 plan was amazing, but that it's better than what has come since.

I would take a stronger stand against the idea that the main agents in 1948 were foreign powers... the Zionists exercised agency in forcing the State of Israel to be on the table (and bringing the West along for the ride), and the Palestinians exercised agency in rejecting the plan (and bringing the Arab states along for the ride). An interesting point is that the Soviet Union voted in favor of the plan, while Britain abstained. Zionists also fought an armed insurgency against the British, so I don't see Israel as an Anglo-American creation, nor do I think Hamas or Hezbollah are directed from Tehran... in fact, I would say that local actors are almost always the ones who put events into motion and force the "Great Powers" in Washington or London or Moscow to react, we see this as well with start of the Donbas War in 2014.

More specifically, Hamas is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, which the Egyptian military junta deposed
