    It’s so fucked.

    Civilians are being punished for the acts of Hamas, and that group radicalised and got violent after 75 years of violent occupation and peaceful protestors being shot.

    Nobody is perfectly pure in war - that’s what war is - but in spite of the media spin the more I read about this complex conflict the more one sided it looks to me. It looks like genocide.

    The Geneva Convention is supposed to protect civilians and children and Israel is ignoring that as they don’t consider the territory occupied. Israel/Zion has stopped journalists from reporting by shooting them, and is blocking aid and water.

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/19/israels-war-against-gazas-children-explained#:~:text=At least 14 children were,those killed in that attack.

    NB. This isn’t condoning terrorist cells or condemning Jewish people. This is not supporting antisemitism. There are actually Jewish people protesting Zion. The evil here is violent occupation, war crimes and colonialism.
