I’ll be perfectly honest and say I do regard the Palestinians who ‘expressed their rage’ on October 7th as savages. That includes civilians participating in the slaughter, rapes and kidnapping, and those cheering, attacking and spitting on the dead bodies, that also includes those who brought their children to see the grotesque spectacle of a murdered baby and a toddler paraded in their coffins.
Never seen an Israeli do any of that and they’re not even allowed to quite reasonably be angry about the beyond barbaric atrocities that was enacted on their people that day, let alone express them in words, without being labelled as monsters.
How would any other society react to the events of Oct 7th? Do you think they’d be sympathetic to the savages that horrifically wiped out whole communities and families, and hundreds of young people at a music festival inflicting as much terror and as much pain as it is possible to experience? Babies and children kidnapped by the very savages who carried out those acts? Do you think they’d say ‘ah, but we feel sorry for them that they create the situation to want to do that to us, we should help them do it again, and again’.
I wouldn’t, I’d feel absolutely murderous and want them all wiped off the face of the earth, especially if I had the means to do it quickly.
Luckily I’m not in government and luckily the Israeli government hasn’t acted as some Israelis may have wanted them to do. They acted to remove the source of the terror and indoctrination, sadly with civilian deaths in the process due to the very actions of Hamas in using their people as sacrifices/human shields/martyrs offering no protection that any civilian should be able to count on when their government deliberately invokes war and surrounding non hostile countries not granting refuge as has happened in every war in human history.
Let’s not forget a majority of those parents in Gaza elected a terrorist organisation to govern them knowing full well what their charter was and by doing so knowingly surrendered their children to a never ending conflict. They had autonomy when they voted in Hamas. The Palestinians consistently rejected their own State because they wanted ALL the land.
See the reverse psychology now with their supporters insisting Israel wants ALL the land so they allowed THEIR citizens to be sacrificed on Oct 7th so they could START a war in Gaza.
How can anyone with a modicum of intellect and a brief research of the history would buy this is beyond me but actually it’s not because it’s borne out of a plain old hatred of the Jewish people.
As PPs have said they even stoop so low as to try to defend the Iranian regime, on a site known for the defence of women’s rights, because they just CANNOT bring themselves to even consider that Israel may not be the bad guy,
I am wise enough to understand though that the fake cause of the Palestinians can be reversed, the web of indoctrination can be unravelled, and the next generations of Palestinian people can live in peace alongside Israel.
That means first getting rid of the tentacles of Hamas, and its evil serpent master, Iran.
Thankfully Israel has taken on the challenge and will prevail.
And yes, Netanyahu is a bloody hero for doing what no one else had the courage to do.
