If you don't uncritically support Palestine right now, you're a fascist

Uncritical means uncritical. Caged persons cannot be judged on their actions, only the ones who locked them in the cage can be judged. Ethan Klein from H3 must be stopped.

    I mean, if you knew who H3 were and didn't know they had terrible politics, you didn't know who H3 were.

    They have said more than once that they're pro-Israeli, Hila (if I'm not misremembering) was born there. Ethan is Israeli-American (again, if I'm not misremembering). It's really not a shock that these two horrible people had horrible takes.

      I think it's useful to point out hypocrisy. Supporting both Ukraine and Israel is nonsensical. Palestine is infinitely worse off than Ukrainians, who don't live under apartheid and had at least some sovereignty (aside from their US masters). Palestinians have none. Yet liberals still will support the fascist ethnostate over the brown people.

      The only slight parallel that can be drawn is between Gaza and the Donbass Republics. Ukraine attempted to cut off Donetsk and Lugansk (as well as Crimea but the Russians were able to resolve the problems there fairly quickly) from access to water, electricity, pensions, banking, etc. They also held these republics under siege since 2014, and continue to constantly shell civilians almost every day. But that is where the parallels stop as the situation for Gaza is infinitely worse in every respect. The Donbass had all of Russia behind them and could never be completely cut off, they were much better armed and dispersed over a larger area. And now they have received the direct help of a very powerful military and are able to fight and win a conventional conflict. The people of Gaza have none of these advantages, they will have to continue to rely on highly asymmetric tactics and guerilla warfare. And the civilian losses will be orders of magnitude higher than in Ukraine where the Russians have been extremely cautious.

      I think while the situation in Ukraine is starting to look very optimistic and we may see a positive resolution as soon as next year, the situation in occupied and besieged Palestine is much more difficult for the foreseeable future. It will be a brutal, prolonged struggle and it will be very painful to watch. Do not expect a quick victory. There will be many tragedies and losses along the way, we have to steel ourselves for setbacks and news of horrific atrocities committed by the Zionist entity, but in the end i have faith that the forces of the Resistance will prevail. The global balance of power has changed too much and it has changed irreversibly against the US. Both the US and the Zionist entity are weaker than they have ever been in the entire history of the Palestinian conflict. The Resistance did not fail to take notice of this and to take it into account when they chose to make their move with this daring break out which has escalated the conflict to a new and unprecedented phase. They have allies across the region and they have surely planned, coordinated and prepared to wage this struggle and to come out victorious.

    Updated the article to include a part I missed, where Hila denies that Israel terrorizes Palestinians on a daily basis. Disgusting.

      I saw some thread of disinformation on twitter the other day, all these smouldering piles of rubble in Gaza being called fake news, because they're actually from April this year! thank goodness is all I have to say. I understand yes it's technically not from the last three days, but c'mon.

      my eyes just rolled out of my head, one moment please
