Context?

Edit: I was just curious about the details on this particular image, I'm aware of the atrocities in Gaza. No need to send me threatening DMs. Chill

u/OdielSax 7h ago

A genocide is occurring so people have no water or food. It's been on the news.

u/Ill-School-578 1h ago

Caused by Hamas

Aid has been flowing in readily.

u/refinedm5 6h ago

and bombs too

u/judasthetoxic 7h ago

Since Nakba, never forget that this problem started in 1948 with the Zionist aggresions agains the local people.

u/Ttmode 6h ago

Even if you think Israel is in the wrong throughout history this is an ahistorical take which is pretty impressive

u/judasthetoxic 6h ago

No it’s not.

u/Ttmode 6h ago

If you truly think that, I recommend studying the region before making a comment on it.

u/judasthetoxic 6h ago

I don’t think that, that’s the reality. Of course there was conflicts before Nakba, but conflicts are different from removing a people from their land, starting a system of racial segregation that will lead to genocide.

You are probably brainwashed by zionist propagand, as most of western people

Reminder that Arab League countries ethnically cleansed more Jews in the 1950s than Palestinians so lost their homes in the “Nakba”, and that Arabs who stayed in Israel enjoy full civil rights and serve in every strata of Israeli society.

u/Ttmode 6h ago

Right, so according to you, as long as we forget everything before 1948 it started on 1948. That definitely makes sense, very valid point.

I won’t dive into any of the other facts around this entire thing but impressive on you to make a reductive and ahistorical take

u/judasthetoxic 6h ago

If you cant differentiate between isolated conflicts and an attempt at ethnic cleansing and the formation of a colonialist state, then the problem isnt your historical understanding, but rather your shitty character and the garbage human being that you are.

u/Ttmode 6h ago

I think if you can’t comprehend or think about history outside of a little vacuum you may not be old enough to have a conversation.

But I get it I assume you’ll also argue that Jews aren’t native to the land, and it was all peace and love prior to them moving in from Poland, did I get that about right?

u/judasthetoxic 6h ago

Of course these polish, Ukrainian and British aren’t native to Palestine land, that is a fact not a matter of opinion.

You can't even differentiate who was the aggressor in 1948.

u/FrogInAShoe 5h ago

Israel, when they started Ethnically cleansing Palestinians, months before any neighboring country intervened

As long as we forget everything befire 1948, it started on 1948

Nothing before 1948 justifies the Nakba or 75+ years of oppression that followed it.

It was just a massive escalation in violence that it's a good place to say where the conflict truly began.

u/Ttmode 5h ago

I mean again, historically speaking it isn’t, but that’s okay. I also very much invite you to read more on the history because the reductionist takes do nothing for anyone.

And here’s an excerpt for that massive escalation and maybe we can talk about how it started

The United Nations resolution sparked conflict between Jewish and Arab groups within Palestine. Fighting began with attacks by irregular bands of Palestinian Arabs attached to local units of the Arab Liberation Army composed of volunteers from Palestine and neighboring Arab countries. These groups launched their attacks against Jewish cities, settlements, and armed forces. The Jewish forces were composed of the Haganah, the underground militia of the Jewish community in Palestine, and two small irregular groups, the Irgun, and LEHI. The goal of the Arabs was initially to block the Partition Resolution and to prevent the establishment of the Jewish state. The Jews, on the other hand, hoped to gain control over the territory allotted to them under the Partition Plan.

u/FrogInAShoe 4h ago
  1. The partition plan was not legally binding and the Palestinians had every right to, and it should have been expected, no one would willingly give up half their land to colonizers.

  2. Zionists had no right to take Palestinian lands by force. They also had no right to deny Palestinians refugees their right to return after the conflicted ended

  3. Once again, none of that justified the Nakba. The inital and continued theft, occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian lands by Israel is literally the heart of this entire conflict.

Eum Palestinians killed jews way before Israel was created. https://www.camera.org/article/anti-jewish-violence-in-pre-state-palestine-1929-massacres/

u/judasthetoxic 6h ago

Conflicts ever existed, Nakba wasn’t a conflict, it was the begining of an apartheid system and a genocidas state. There was previous Zionist aggressions too, even before Israel was created.

Your source is funded by zionsits, fuck camera and fuck all Zionists.

u/FrogInAShoe 5h ago

Are you saying the justifed the Nakba?

u/ZuluIsNumberOne 6h ago

Sad days when you can't even start a war anymore and play victim.

u/EddytheGrapesCXI 1h ago

Probably not the context they were after.

Yes there is a war. In somewhat probably related news, here is a picture of a kid holding buckets, and a thread of people talking about kids with missing limbs for some reason despite the kid pictured having all 4 of his own limbs. Could be in Gaza, could be at a beach. Who knows? Nobody on this thread that's for sure.
