Have you considered that if Arabs hadn't been engaged in a futile attempt to murder Jews and destroy Israel, the past 75 years of violence would have been avoided?

Parroting propaganda.

The only claim that was exaggerated was the beheaded babies. People saw something, jumped to a conclusion, and the story blew up.

There was sexual violence on 10/7 and you can absolutely guarantee that hostages have been raped. And no, "a lot" of the hostages and soldiers weren't killed by IDF. A small number might have been.

LOL birthday cakes and shopping. So fucking brainwashed.

Calling a poster an "absolute dipshit" must violate the rules, unless it's only people who don't conform to the Marxist leanings of this site that get punished.

I'm saying the anti-Zionist movement is FULL of propaganda. Perhaps you've heard of the term "Pallywood." Social media is littered with AI generated photos, staged videos, clipped and edited videos, whatever is necessary to make Israel look evil. The only video of a "gang rape" I ever saw was one that didn't actually show a rape at all, and there was a very sensible explanation for what was actually happening in the video. Is that the video we're talking about?

I didn't say that, I simply pointed out the double-standard.

Believe women...unless they're Israeli, right?

Really strange that they're revealing this 3 weeks after it happened

Do you have a suggestion for how Israel can deal with the genocidal threats on its borders without killing civilians? Or does that require you to think a bit more deeply than the slogans you pick up on TikTok?

 

Fascinating episode from Einat Wilf's podcast in reference to an article she co-wrote with two Arabs who support peaceful coexistence with Israel shortly after the Abraham Accords were signed. The most interesting part of the discussion comes up at around 10:15 where she talks about the silencing of voices like these by Western progressives. The tl/dr: Pro-peace Arab voices are silenced by Western progressives because that perspective conflicts with their decolonization anti-Zionist narrative, so these voices hurt the cause.
