Palestinians have been raped and brutalised en masse, their babies beheaded by Israelis? I think not. So much ignorance and propaganda. The main problem Palestinians have now is Hamas. Hamas are not freedom fighters as some deluded Westerners may like to imagine, they're a fundamentalist Muslim terror group who terrorise their own people as well as Israelis. I mean, if Iran's government says they want to kiss the hands of Hamas terrorists for brutalising defenceless fellow humans? You are fraternising with the wrong kind.
There are many ethnic groups and people who live in desperate conditions and are suffering oppression around the world. Yet Western people don't wave their flags in solidarity or feel able to say that these oppressed people had to rape woman of all ages and behead babies including one that was cut out of the womb of a pregnant Israeli woman. I mean, these poor men, just had to torture, maim and rape, right? Did you see the video of the young woman who was in the back of a Hamas car, she was ordered to get out of the boot and into the back seat with lots of excited and important looking Hamas men. Her grey joggers were absolutely blood soaked on her bottom, I leave you to imagine what Hamas men did to her? Anyone supporting that kind of savagery has lost their humanity.
And before anyone says oh but what about those poor oppressed Palestinians? They are refusing to negotiate with Israel to find a solution that works instead preferring to to be governed by a brutal terror organisation full of blood thirty men who want all Israelis and Jews dead and Israel wiped off the map. Throwing missiles and rockets is entirely different to going round people's houses and destroying entire families one by one, slowly and deliberately at close range. It's also different to raping women and then parading these poor brutalised women naked in the streets for the enjoyment of fellow Palestinians, women and men and for the social media propaganda. Such worthy freedom fighters, right?
This is a historically extremely complex situation. In 1947 the United Nations adopted Resolution 181 that divided Great Britain's former Palestinian mandate into Jewish and Arab states in May 1948 when the British mandate ended.
I hope you know that one of the main reasons for establishing Israel is that the Jewish disapora was persecuted, abused, humiliated and killed over centuries, in fact of millennia around the world. This all culminated in the Holocaust and the torture, displacement and killing of 6 million Jews in Europe at the hands of the Nazis. Also remember that Jews were persecuted not only in Nazi Germany in most other European countries throughout the middle ages and beyond. Have some understanding and empathy for the Jewish community, which is one of the most persecuted in the history of mankind.
So many people are, however, not able to empathise with the Jewish diaspora and the reason for this is anti semitism, which has existed in Europe and around the world eve since the Jews have been displaced from their homeland Judea, which happens to be in the same geographical region as Israel. People are full of anti semitism just as people have been throughout centuries, it really is nothing new sadly.
It is completely ok to be critical of what Israel's government do politically but before acting all passionate about it think carefully about how many other countries in recent and current times are doing things that are controversial and why you are not as indignant about that? In most cases it's because of unconscious bias and anti semitism. Once you see it, you can't un-see it.
