Replying to @Kdoespolitics
Killing enemy soldiers of an illegal occupying force is NOT terrorism. The fact is, a significant amount of the fighting Hamas did on Oct. 7th was legitimate, moral, and legal. Are you claiming that none of the fighting Hamas did on Oct. 7th was legitimate? That’s what you are doing when you spread a falsehood that “1,200 people were murdered,” because the fact is that IDF soldiers and other security personnel of the illegal occupying state were not murdered; killing an enemy combatant is NOT murder. When you give Israel occupation forces the status of ’innocent civilians’ (which is what your words and framing are doing) then you are engaged in dishonest propaganda against Palestinians. What kind of person misrepresents the resistance fighters and victims of oppression? And that is what you are doing by making a blanket condemnation against a resistance group, which you are calling 'terrorists' when the fact is a significant amount of the fighting was legitimate. If you compare to what Israel does such as genocide since Oct. 7th, Hamas had a lower civilian-to-combatant kill ratio than Israel has and thar is even with counting all civilains who died as if they died only at the hands of Hamas when we know that isn't the case. Were you duped into believing all 1,200 were civilians, or are you just dishonest?

Every soldier and settler could have gone home like this within days or weeks, but the Zionist genocide colony preferred to exterminate Palestinians than to bring its own people home alive.
Elderly Israeli Yocheved Lifshitz turns around, shakes the hand of a Palestinian Qassam Brigades soldier and says "Shalom" as she is transferred to the Red Cross. The resistance are keeping their promise to safely return home all detained noncombtants, as conditions allow.

⭕️ Benjamin Moser, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and author of "Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History" agreed with the New York Times' main criticism of his new book on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday. The Times review said the book "paints a fraught world in black and white" and casts Israelis and Palestinians as "evil perpetrator and a virtuous victim." "Absolutely correct," said Moser. "I do think it's black and white… There's a colonizer and there's a colonized. There is a victim and there is a [perpetrator].”

John Mearsheimer is asked if he believes Hamas are pure evil irrational spawns from hell whose attack on October 7th was motivated by anti-Semitism. He responds: That's absurd Israeli propaganda, they did it to resist the occupation and brutal treatment of Palestinians

Billy, what exactly are you arguing? That because Israel removed its settlers from Gaza in 2005, Gaza was never colonized? Or that removing those settlers somehow ended Israel's occupation? Israel established 21 settlements in Gaza following its 1967 occupation, housing some 8,000 Israeli settlers. Those settlements existed for decades before Israel dismantled them in 2005. And withdrawing settlers did not mean relinquishing control. Israel continued controlling Gaza's airspace, territorial waters, most border crossings, and movement of people and goods. Israeli naval forces even fired on Palestinian fishermen attempting to earn their living in Gaza's waters. In July 2024, the International Court of Justice confirmed that Israel's 2005 withdrawal did not eliminate its obligations under the law of occupation, because Israel continued exercising substantial control over Gaza. So which historical fact are you disputing: that Israel established settlements in Gaza, or that it continued exercising occupying authority after removing them? Transcription of the image Here is the visible text, preserving the historical headlines and quotations.

She’s gone. Our 4th pediatrician since 2020 is gone. There was no warning, she just got sicker & sicker every time we saw her, & then she was gone. No warning, no notification.
OH MY GOD. I am terrified for everyone. I have long posted about how my kids’ pediatrician keeps getting Covid. In April, she was out with her 4th-5th Covid infection for over a month. She coughed for months. I just learned she is out with Covid AGAIN. We are so doomed.

Today marks 3 years since the October 7 Massacre, a day when Israeli forces killed countless Israeli civilians and blamed Hamas, to justify an escalation of their Palestinian holocaust.

Completely untrue. There was nothing there about NATO enlargement. So, Russia obviously did not agree to it. This is what it did say: "Proceeding from the principle that the security of all states in the Euro-Atlantic community is indivisible, NATO and Russia will work together to contribute to the establishment in Europe of common and comprehensive security based on the allegiance to shared values, commitments and norms of behaviour in the interests of all states." NATO never even remotely sought to fulfill that pledge, rushing at breakneck speed to scoop up all of Russia's former military allies into a military alliance that was clearly directed against Russia. It would be helpful if people like you stopped lying.
1997 unterschrieb Russland die NATO Russland Grundakte. Wussten Sie das? Russland hat darin der NATO Erweiterung zugestimmt, die NATO hat sich bestimmte Restriktionen selbst auferlegt. Das war der Deal. Bitte nachlesen. Dann reden. Besser als Propaganda nachplappern!

On October 7th, the world was told Hamas beheaded babies and out them in ovens. That was false. We were not told of many true cases where civilians were spared. I've compiled, for the first time, testimony from 26 cases where Hamas fighters spared civilians, citing orders to do so. The lie was used to justify Israel's slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians since.
