    “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.

    “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.

    Fuck these genocidal freaks.

    Gazans have the right to revolution, just as the Americans, French, and Chinese did.

    Condemning violence in revolution is akin to condemning the formation of these countries we have today. Palestinians have exhausted all other options.

      The formation of these countries we have today is condemnable and it’s exactly what Israel is attempting to do, which is why they must be stopped.

        The silly thing is that, while on the surface it looks like a religiously-motivated conflict, at its core it's a socioeconomic one. The massive gap in economic opportunity caused by the Zionist regime's comprehensive repression of Palestinian rights, the displacement of people from their own homes, and the complete segregation of society was bound to lead to conflict with or without religious motivation.

        People blaming religion for this issue are the same people blaming religion for the Troubles.

        China's case of Xinjiang shows that massive forced social and economic reform can eradicate extremism without launching bullets and missiles at every person of colour who looks at you wrong.

          Exactly, people who pearl clutch at the violence see no problem with maintaining the wretched conditions that cause the violence.

    So are they going to lift it at a reasonable time (edit: and keep it lifted!), or is the far-right government going to try and starve out the whole population?

    Israel is its own country and responsible for its own actions. Don't drag the West into this just because some financial aid is given.
