I saw a post that made something very clear to me:
The size and population of Gaza is comparable to Montreal or Philadelphia. The actual cities, not their metro areas.
Well, about 15% more people because this was a rough approximation.
Imagine telling the entire city of Philly "I'm going to need you all to scootch to the south end so I can airstrike and invade the North half."
Imagine Montreal, but walled in. With no power or water.
I have no idea what Israel should do about Hamas' atrocities, but damn.
The only solution to the “atrocities” has always been: to end apartheid, stop genocide, and give the Palestinians back their land. One state, secular, for all peoples and religions. One Palestine.
Before European Zionism and Britain, Jewish people, Muslims and Christians lived in the region in peace. Palestinians are also the direct descendants of the Jews and other Canaanite peoples that lived there, since before the Romans. They just changed their religion with time, like it happens all over the world.
An ethnostate based on settler colonialism and genocide can’t be accepted.
