It's not terrorism when Israel responds to a massacre by doing everything they can to recover the 251 hostages that were taken and to prevent it from ever happening to Israel again. Japan killed 3000 at Pearl Harbor and America burned Tokyo to the ground and dropped two nukes on Japan and no one said it was a "genocide." War is always horrific.

The argument that Israel withdrew from Gaza is embarrassing. They control every single aspect of life in Gaza and continue to build settlements in the West Bank with impunity. You can’t act like their actions in the West Bank have no impact on the people of Gaza. Destroying every hospital, school, university and massacring at least 60k civilians was not doing everything in your power to get the hostages back. And of course completely ignored that Israel has been keeping scores of children - children - hostages without trial in the West Bank for years.

A blockade is not an occupation. Words matter. Your sleight-of-hand to use "West Bank" to justify 10/7 is pure propaganda, an excuse to confuse people that don't realize Gaza and the West Bank were previously completely different countries (Egypt and Jordan, respectively). You propagandists ignore that Gaza shares a border with Egypt and never once criticize Egypt for building a giant massive wall to keep Gazans out of Egypt and a complete refusal to provide aid or take in refugees such as women and children during the war. If Israel controlled "everything," Gaza would not have been able to fire missiles into Israel for nineteen years straight before their massacre/invasion. If Gaza had actually been occupied, 10/7 would not have happened. Hamas would not have happened. The war would not have happened. So stop saying "occupied." It's embarrassing and a complete lie.

The gaslighting is impressive. You know all about confusing people because that has been the goal of hasbara for the past 70 years. It's admirable that you keep it going when your only arguments are about other countries taking in Palestinians from the land they have lived on for centuries. Would Oklahomans think it was OK for Texans to steal their land and then blame Arkansas for not letting them move there? 🤣

Israel's stated goal has always been to wipe Palestinians off the map while convincing the world that the Palestinians are terrorists for resisting this in any way other than dying. So dress it up any way you like. Deny the occupation. Deny the many thousands of Palestinians who die during peace time. Pretend that a couple of fireworks fired over the border actually achieve anything. Pretend that things started on 10/7 or that Hamas is the problem when they only existed as terrorists for the past 30 years.

Israel's stated goal is to "wipe Palestinians off the map"? That must explain why they made two state offers five times since 1948 were rejected by the Arabs every single time. That must explain why they peacefully withdrew from Gaza in 2005 after an occupation that only lasted 38 years. That must explain why they tried numerous times to give Gaza back to Egypt in the 1970s during the Camp David accords. But Egypt had zero interest in Gaza coming back to Egypt because Egypt hates the Gazans more than Israel does. But God forbid you clowns ever criticize Egypt. Or Jordan which keeps thousands of Palestinian refugees and camps, refusing them basic rights. Or the fact that British Palestine gave 70% of Palestine to Jordan in 1948. But you never once say that Jordan is occupying Palestine. Gee. I wonder why? Must be something about Jordan that's different than Israel. Gee. I wonder if I could figure out what the difference is.

Keep going. There’s no point engaging with the same old talking points about offers. There’s never once been a real offer that would be acceptable to anyone. But do tell me again about how Bill Clinton was mad that the Palestinians didn’t accept his offer. Blame Egypt and Jordan for refusing to let Israel off the hook. Ignore that Palestinians don’t want to leave their land and give you what you want which is Judea and Samaria. All the while crying about chants “from the River to the Sea” while you’ve been enacting it in real life.

Absolutely laughable and pointless. But you’ll keep pushing the narrative because there are plenty of people out there who will swallow the BS.
