I want to understand how do Isra@l supporters convince themselves that isr@el is the victim ?😅🤔

Let me understand this very clearly ,

So before your beloved 7th of October excuse , according to the United Nations (not your mother’s bedtime stories ) , Israel was already an illegal occupier of the Palestinian territories with illegal viølent settlers and k*lled hundreds of Palestinians including children in 2023 alone before the 7th of oct on their own soil.

Then Ham@as (one of the Palestinian factions who have power in the Gaza Strip but not in East Jerusalem or the West Bank ) attâcked on the 7th of October
Under the Geneva Convention of the right of self determination
That states that occupied people have the legal right and even moral obligation to resist their occupiers
making their attack in essence not of a terrørist nature (which is why the UN does not recognize Hamas as a terrørist group especially since they don’t operate outside of israel/palestine. terrørism has a specific meaning which you cannot manipulate for your own biased benefit in fact Israel is more befitting to be referred to as a terrørist )


However we all agree I believe as decent human beings that certain Hamas actions such as taking minors as prisoners of wàr (although I think the majority of them if not all were released early on in an exchange for Palestinian imprisøned minors. And ironically I never heard a beeb of criticism when Israel for years has been storming into Palestinian homes in the middle of the night grabbing children and interrogating them without a lawyer or adult company and in Hebrew and trialing them in m*litary children court or how many Palestinian children went through detention or jailed without a trial or conviction all of this of course condemned by the UN and human right organizations for years but shh that doesn’t fit usa’s agenda does it ?)

so Israel in retaliation decided to commit a genøcide in the Gaza Strip and endless pøgroms in the West Bank coupled with more theft of acres of land in the West Bank for settlement building where Hamas doesn’t even operate ?

So let me summarize ,

You have a problem with the ethnically cleans*ed occupied traumatized people living under the boot of their occupiers for decades and decades because they did certain wrong actions in the process of resisting a br*tal occūpation
But you dont have a problem with who in accordance to international law not only didnt have the right to invade Gaza on 7th of oct as the illegal occupier but also went and did a genøcide on an already occupied /besieged strip that doesn’t even have a marine /military/navy?

And I get it , its not a genøcide.
Israel only destroyed 80% of the Gaza Strip , 50% of this moral army’s victims are children , and almost 100% of the Gaza population are displaced/homeless and the entire population is starving to death.

How dare I use such word
But honestly what word would you use for this mass scale of destruction and d*ath in 2024 in such a short time period ?
Even gen*cide seems a very light word for a world that claims to live in 2024.
Help me find the right word.


But I leave you with this :

Well said.

To understand why many westerners (esp. non Jewish or evangelical Zionists) support Israel, you have to apply extreme double standards.

The whole 'Israel has a right to defend itself' narrative is based on the presumption that a western ally (and country of white people) has superior moral legitimacy. So Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? Do they have a right to security? Do they even have the right to exist.

At one extreme you get the outright bigots who call Arabs towel heads and cockroaches. You also get the more moderate ones who spout the arguments that I made above and are oblivious to the heir own double standards and tacit acceptance of racial hierarchies. Then you get the centrists who see both sides (occupier and occupied) as equally bad. This is understandable because it's informed by the constant framing of western media but it's naive and wrong. Some are starting to shift position as Israel's actions become even less defendable.

I should add that I condemn Hamas attacking civilians but none of that justifies this
