For those who haven't seen it yet, here's a short video on the history of the conflict:
I'll just say it.
The state of Israel is basically the modern Nazi Germany.
I want Israel to exist, but not by genociding an entire ethnic group from the land. This is fucked up, and fuck anyone defending these actions.
Statement by Hamas' Izzat Al-Rishq;
"Regarding what the spokesman for the terrorist enemy army said about the arrival of prisoners of the occupation to Al-Shifa Hospital, we said early on that the resistance transferred many prisoners of the occupation to hospitals to receive treatment and undergo surgical operations, especially after some of them were injured as a result of the occupation’s aircraft bombing them.
We risked our fighters to guarantee the injured prisoners the best treatment. Possible in hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
We have published many pictures about this; Now their army spokesman presents it as if they have discovered something great.
What the spokesman for the occupation army says completely condemns them. These are points that are recorded for us and not for us.
Taking care of the prisoners, treating them, and giving them possible medical care is a point for us and not for us."
Quoting Sprite@lemmy.ml: "Queer here, I'm for Palestine. Even if someone might be hypothetically homophobic, I still do not support an apartheid and ethnical cleansing. Many a lib are crypto-gay-friendly anyway and the mask falls off very quickly when a queer person may need tangible help or merely dares to exist near them. "
You know who's the biggest threat to Palestinian queers? Israel. They are actively genociding them.
