    That’s a lot of words to say they deserve it. And to throw in India and Pakistans independence as being a failing on them and not on the British for creating the situation in the first place is a prime example that your ability to understand a situation stops where the blame most best rests in your favor. You cannot see the colonial and imperialist forces that set up these situations, only so focused on the sins of the people subjected to them. Because by doing so you remove blame from those colonial forces. If you pretend Israel always existed, then fighting Hamas is self defence. If you instead view isreal as a colony that displaced natives then suddenly it is the palastinians who are in self defense.

    Notice how I never talked about Hamas and their goals? I simply said a group like Hamas is inevitable in this situation, and removing them will just spawn another. Hamas and their actions and states goals are not important because they have no power, no ability to achieve them. They are a people’s desperate gasp, a violent slash of anger from a cornered and oppressed people. But you are so fucking focused on their anger to trigger your “at any cost self defence” that you completely skip the fact it is them who are defending themselves.

    In short. You can go fuck yourself and your lack of humanity and inability to humanize. If I had one wish in this world, it would be that you were born in Gaza, with all the knowledge and positions you have now and could truly experience an exact copy of yourself in the position you are in now. I feel you would have a different perspective if you was the 12 year old starving under the rubble. But considering your violent nature, I feel you would only end up with Hamas. An irony most sad.
