This might just sound like the same old shit others voice with the recent gaza genocide, but ive hated israel for far longer. In high school i read a book called the olive grove, its based on a true story of a Palestinian family that lost every thing to the zionist movement. It follows 3 generation of the family from the first world war till after the second. It tells of the horrors they faced by the us backed terrorists taking their home and land turning away from the atrocities being committed. Its heart breaking, and when i read it in 2009 i didnt fully understand but seeing all the shit done now, i just think this cycle of hate started and can not be stopped.

Idk what else to say, i mean i could go on and on but i dont have the mental capacity to do so while drinking. I recommend others to read the book, it was a very good read when i was a high schooler and i plan to start it again as soon as i can find my copy.

Here is a link to the book if anyone is interested in reading it https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2327988.The_Olive_Grove

    They’ve become monstrous, but don’t forget who fed the beast and always looked the other way when it bit a neighbour. So much American money has been given to them over the decades that AIPAC spends a lot of money making sure it doesn’t stop. Meanwhile Netanyahu has indirectly enabled and supported Hamas so his casus belli stays in play perpetually

      I agree, he litteraly helped hamas to the point where an attack of this size could be half justified. Bibi wanted the attack to happen, and he plans on wiping out as many people as he can before its not politicaly beneficial. Then they will just get another to do the same in a few years untill israel controls everything.

      I hate knowing my country is funding them. And I hate even more that if I dont want democracy to finish crumbling under trumps baby sized thumbs Biden is the only current option.
