Protip: If your thought process begins to sound like “either you’re with me, or you’re against me”, you may be in the middle of the process of turning into a tv villain.
I 100% condemn Hamas and their terrorism, but I have been thinking of this skit a lot lately, wondering how many Isrealis are experiencing this revelation and asking “Are we the badies?”
Sometimes people forget the lesser evil is still evil. And Benjamin “lets-prop-up-hamas-to-weaken-the-PLO” Netanyahu definitely fits the bill.

This whole conflict is nothing but villains and victims. There’s no moral high ground and no good guys.
Or a movie villain.

Dubya intensifies
It is important to … recognise the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation
This is the statement they’re doing this over? It seems pretty tame. What the fuck Israel?
Is it because Gaza was blockaded but not occupied at the time of the attack?Erdan has already demanded Guterres’ resignation and described his remarks as blood libel.
That’s not what blood libel means.
Pointing out that Palestinians have been treated like dirt for half a century is the same thing as claiming Jews drink kids’ blood, don’t be thick.
That they have the audacity to say this shows how powerful a hold Zionists have in the West.

“Jews controls the world sheeple!”
Fucking fruitcake…
Today:
You get fired for saying anything remotely fair about Palestine. Look at the backlash in the fields of law, banking and entertainment.
Look. Look. We don’t want you to see the war crimes we are about to do, so you’re banned.

Humanity would not prevail.
Their current stance of the Israeli government is that there is no such thing as a humanitarian crisis, the UN is presenting a false picture of the situation in Gaza and that the civilian casualty numbers are severely exaggerated.
Despite them restricting food, water, electricity and fuel and even blocking on purpose humanitarian aid to the enclave.
Despite their indiscriminate bombing, flattening out complete neighbourhoods.
Despite them hitting targets south of the line the IDF suggested civilians to go.
Refusing to admit your own mistakes or wrongdoings is the first step towards dictatorship even though some might argue that they are already one.
And let’s not forget that the UN was the institution that ratified the creation of this whole country. Oh the turntables!
I’m not a tyrant, I just act like one.

They’re really dusting off the old playbook huh?
Ah yes, a totally normal thing that innocent, non-fascist governments do. Nothing to see here, UN. Certainly no war crimes or ethnic cleansing!
The UN has been sending their troops to countries for years to put a stop to genocides.
Places like Serbia must be kicking themselves right now, like they had no idea just saying “no” and carrying on killing was an option.
Ah yes, Serbia. Famously a country that didn’t just tell the UN no and keep killing…
Yeah, the mistake was not getting US backing first.
You’re doing it to “teach them a lesson?” What’s the lesson? That your government is running a genocidal apartheid state? I think they’re aware already
At least when the US does it, they sprinkle in a liberation narrative.
"Obviously we’re retaliating hard with maximum flex-
“BOOOOOO!”
“But! But! But! We’ll liberate a bunch of people while we’re there and be aware of civilians and their lives.”
“Oh. Well that seems nice. You won’t harm innocents?”
“We’ll be aware of civilians and their lives. And the liberation.”
“Well, okay then…”
Israel will go down speed running through history as the reason why humanity can’t have nice things
No one to watch their crimes agaisnt humanity and document them allowed on the ground anymore, eh?
The only thing missing is calling the UN a poo poo head
Really the good guys eh?
Ah, good ole fashioned collective punishment.
Israel loves this one simple trick.
