    It’s also exactly what the leaders in Israel are doing and have done against the people of Palestine but I don’t see you going off about that. Guess supporting Islamophobia and genocide are more acceptable to you than calling for the end of one.

      I have called for the end of the war in Gaza for a long time. I have advocated for a two state solution and Palestinians to live a life in dignity, freedom, and prosperity for decades.

      The current Israeli government makes terrible decisions. Ben Gvir and Smotrich are inciting and ordering violence on an unacceptable level.

      Let’s remember how we ended up here. Arafat rejected the peace deal offered. The second intifada destroyed the peace camp in Israel. Olmert‘s offer was rejected as well. Hamas followed a policy of war instead of building a future for Gazans.

        Alongside all the previous governments as well, given its a settler state.

        Hamas followed a policy of war instead of building a future for Gazans.

        Not their fault the israelis following a policy of war rather than building a future, in all the years previous.

        Great thank you for the added context because this wasn’t a view you expressed in this thread (or any comments from the last 6 mo) while you’ve had a lot to say about “antifa” so you were definitely coming across as more of a genocide supporter than someone questioning the methods used to protest the same.
