Israel’s battle against misinformation and hate is overwhelming on most days. During a war, it goes on overdrive. By last measure, online anti-Semitism has spiked by a massive 1200% since October 7th When faced with a river of hate from legions of enemy countries and sympathizers, Israel’s Hasbara (positive PR) efforts are chronically understaffed, under-funded

The last election was in 2006. 17 years ago. The median age of people there is only 20. Most of those people didn’t vote for anyone, let alone Hamas. And even those that did vote, Hamas got less than 50% of the vote.
Also, nice use of ableist slurs there. Is that really appropriate?
Wanting people to live free is bad?
Wanting Terrorists and terrorism to be free IS BAD.
So you’re saying all people of Palestinian descent are terrorists? Or just all Arabs are terrorists? Or just people who are kept in prison terrorists?
What is the criteria to make somebody a terrorist? I’m not talking about the military, I’m not talking about the government, I’m talking about the civilians.
And even if you say every Gazan civilian is a terrorist, at what age do they become terrorists? Are the babies terrorist? Are the 5-year-old’s terrorist?
Obviously at the moment of conception, if the person you ask is racist enough …
It geuinely seems like people think someone can be born a terrorist… Which is just another form of racism, with a new phrase attached to it.
If you want to kill mothers and babies on a regular basis you need at least some kind of official “justification”. This of course applies to both sides. While the government and military of Israel uses islamophobia, Hamas is using antisemitism to justify their barbaric crimes. In both cases its in fact just racism if you look under the propaganda surface.
So who are you supporting in the Ukrainian / Russian war?
I’m waiting for you to define terrorist.
You said a inflammatory thing, and I want to understand your position. Please explain terrorist to me, and who is, and isn’t a terrorist in the Gazan territory. (Including specifically women, and children… when do children become terrorists?)

You dodged my question, and change the subject. It’s only fair for me to try to keep us on topic.
My point still stands, who wouldn’t want a population of people to be free?
Even if you have a gripe with the adults, you still haven’t defined terrorist by the way, the children are not guilty of any sins, so they should be free. They should be free to grow up and be their own adults.
You still haven’t answered the question that started this whole discussion, what makes the people of Gaza a terrorist, are they all terrorists? What percentage of terrorists? Are they forever terrorists? Are there children terrorists? These are important questions if you’re saying an entire ethnicity cannot be free.
Saying a entire ethnicity cannot be free, it’s a very terrible tool that creates very terrible world.
If you want to talk about Ukraine and Russia, I’m happy to discuss that with you, but in a different thread. Please post it and I will respond to it. But not here. We need to stay on topic
You keep dodging the question to define terrorist and now you accused Jet of doing the thing that in fact just you did. What a pathetic way to have an argument, lol
Stop trying to evade by derailing and answer the question
Decades of illegal occupation, racial segregation and genocide are severe violations of human rights and of international law.
Also your ableism is quite telling about your character
